WWE Raw will celebrate its season premiere, this week to kick things off for WWE Week on the USA Network as all of the WWE’s three weekly shows will be airing on the same platform. Excitement is high regarding the red brand show with WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart being confirmed for the Monday night episode set for tonight.

The primary reason behind Bret Hart being booked for the September 9 edition of WWE Raw is that it takes place in his hometown of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The confirmation of this appearance first came through Jackie Redmond, as she confirmed on social media about “Hitman” making a return to WWE TV as part of the “Season Premiere” of the flagship show on the USA Network.

According to the reports of Dave Meltzer on the latest Wrestling Observer Daily, a major reason behind Bret Hart’s return on WWE Raw is that it will mark his final appearance at the Saddledome, as the historic arena is scheduled will soon be demolished. The Saddledome has hosted numerous historic WWE events over the years and it also is a significant location in both Hart’s and the company’s history.
