2- Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels
This is a case of disagreements in the ring being carried out backstage in real life. The relationship the two had been rocky, to begin with, but it all came to a head in 1997. While fans saw a segment of Raw, they had no idea of the altercation that took place behind the camera prior to the show. Weeks prior, Michaels stoked Hart’s ire with the now famous “Sunny days” comment on Raw, a thinly veiled implication that Hart had an extramarital relationship with the Diva named Sunny.
It was rumored Michaels was involved with Sunny as well in the following years. According to sources In his 2007 autobiography “Hit Man,” Hart wrote that he had sought out Michaels in Hartford in order to “straighten him out once and for all,” and upon finding HBK backstage, provoked him with the words, trying to start the altercation to end things for good. Hart supposedly connected with a punch on the chin.
