The heart of the matter
During the Hart Foundation's induction into the Hall of Fame, a member of the audience jumped into the ring and tried to rugby tackle Bret Hart. Security jumped into the ring along with Travis Browne, Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods, Davey Boy Smith Jr. and others, who isolated the attacked and made sure Natalya and Bret Hart were safe.
The attacker got pounded by Travis Browne while being held down and even Davey Boy Smith got in the action. Dash Wilder also hit the man with an uppercut before he was led away. The attacker was later charged by police on 2 counts of third-degree assault as well as disorderly conduct.
Natalya took to Twitter after the Hall of Fame ceremony to give her thoughts on what had unfolded earlier on in the evening. Here's what the Queen of Hart's had to say:
"I’m so proud of my uncle @BretHart tonight during our HOF ceremony. Bret is a cancer survivor, a stroke survivor and one of the greatest wrestlers of all time. He didn’t deserve to be attacked or have his moment or my dad’s diminished. We got it back on track. Thank you, guys."
What's next?
Natalya will team up with her best friend, WWE Hall of Famer Beth Phoenix, at WrestleMania when the challenge for the WWE Women's Tag-Team Championships.
