With all the talk of Bret Hart coming to WWE, until now it was speculation.
New reports say that Bret Hart has indeed signed with WWE, signing a short-term contract beginning January 1 and lasting through April 10, 2010. He could debut as soon as the January 4, 2010 Raw, which has yet to have a guest host announced. It also happens to be the date TNA runs live on Spike TV for Hulk Hogan’s debut with the promotion.
Wrestlemania 26 is March 28, 2010, so it the contract is clearly designed as a 3 month program ending in some way at Wrestlemania. With Shawn Michaels likely tied up with the Undertaker, it’s assumed that Bret will face Vince McMahon in a gimmicked match of some sort.
Note that the PPV after Wrestlemania, Backlash, is scheduled for April 25, 2010. While Backlash is often comprised of rematches and storyline continuations from Wrestlemania, as currently consistuted, Bret would be done before Backlash.
