The Montreal Screwjob was one of the most shocking acts in wrestling history. In case you've been living under a rock for the past 20 years, the plan was for Bret Hart to retain his WWF title against Shawn Michaels at the 1997 Survivor Series, before vacating it the next night on RAW on route to WCW. Instead, Michaels like the Hitman in his own Sharpshooter, and Vince McMahon demanded the bell to ring.

Despite it being an established fact, there are some who continue to believe the Screwjob was a work to write Hart off the show, with Earl Hebner even saying recently he believes Bret knew what was going to happen.

WWE has no plans for these former AEW wrestlers? Here's why!

This hardly seems the case, as Hart dissappeared from WWE for over a decade before returning in 2010, and having one of your most popular and profitable stars badmouth you in the media doesn't seem like a good idea from Vince McMahon.

The fact that it has never come out that Hart knew about things really does put this myth to bed though.
