Bret Hart was originally scheduled to follow-up his WWE return on the Monday Night Raw on January 18. However, plans were changed and his second appearance has been moved to the January 25, 2010 Raw in Knoxville.
No word on why the change was made, although WWE did continue mentioning Bret in storyline, and the decision could be purely about placing emphasis on the Royal Rumble hype.
It’s also possible the January 25 show will be Rumble-focused, with a Bret appearance promoted on TV for the PPV, or for the Monday Night Raw the day after, hosted by William Shatner.
