As we saw at WWE Payback, Bret ‘the Hitman’ Hart accompanied his niece Natalya to the ring for her match against Charlotte. This was a great moment because Bret is coming off surgery to remove his prostate cancer that he was diagnosed with earlier this year. The match ended with Nattie and Bret giving both Charlotte and Ric Flair double Sharpshooters in the middle of the ring. This was a fun moment and you can tell it meant a lot to Natalya.
Here is what she posted on Instagram after the match about how much the moment meant to her:
“There are just some moments you look back on and remember as long as you live. Like tonight… I walked down the ramp with one of my heroes. Someone who just so happens to be family… Someone who beat cancer because he refused to let cancer beat him. It means more to me than anything money can buy to share the ring with @brethitmanhart and have him stand inside the fire with me and have my back ALWAYS.
What @charlottewwe doesn’t realize is that I am the strongest I’ve ever been right NOW. I am grateful for the struggle. The heartaches and the pain … maybe they’re the best things that have ever happened to me. I’ve learned to rise up and be strong as hell. I also learned that NO one can hurt me unless I give them my permission.
Charlotte has no idea what I am made of.
And I will WIN.
Thank you Chicago and my fans all over the globe for always making me feel so loved. It’s hard to believe it’s real. THANK-YOU from the bottom of my heart. ❤️? #WWEPayback” (Source: Instagram).
I know a lot of fans were upset about the Screwjob angle that cost Nattie the match but I just think it was a fun moment playing off history. I think Nattie will get another shot at the title soon enough! We love you Nattie!
P.S: Fight Bret Fight! Great to see Bret!
It is great to see Bret he is the best storyteller of his time. Screw job finish was kinda lame but knew something like that would go down.
