Bret Hart was screwed out of the WWE Championship because he refused to drop the title to Shawn Michaels at Survivor Series in 1997. Hart and Michaels had their issues at the time and Hart didn't want to have to drop the title on that night. Whilst speaking to Steve Austin he revealed that he offered to drop to anyone else instead and even offered to drop to Michaels the night after on RAW.

"I said, Vince, I told you I'm not putting Shawn over. I said you can give me Steve, I'll drop it to anybody in the company any way you want. I even offered to drop the belt to Shawn the next day on Monday Night RAW."

Of course this wasn't the plan that Vince McMahon had at that time, since Hart explained that if he had stayed in WWE the plan for him was to lose to Shawn Michaels over and over again in the weeks that followed, something that fuelled his desire to leave.
