Had Bret Hart's hotly-anticipated WWE return reached its dramatic end with his plodding beat-down of Vince McMahon at WrestleMania XXVI, many would've just been happy to see The Hitman given one last and much-deserved moment in the sports entertainment sun.

But this absolute icon was surprisingly far from finished, folks.

In a marvellously insane turn of events, after falling to Tyson Kidd on the May 10 episode of Raw, The Miz offered one of the Hart Family the chance to challenge for his United States Championship. And with the hopes of embarrassing the Dynasty in their home country of Canada, Miz opted for a battle with good ol' Bret.

A week on, that's precisely what went down, with Vladimir Koslov and William Regal being taken out by Kidd and David Hart Smith early on. Cue a villainous Chris Jericho popping into the ring in a suit and getting walloped by Natalya, with Miz also soon comically eating crap in the form of a Hart Attack before being locked in a glorious Sharpshooter for a simply extraordinary Hitman victory.

In-between stepping back into the ring for the first time in years at Mania and delightfully joining Team WWE at that year's SummerSlam, most overlook that this all-time legend also found time to add an unlikely additional piece of gold to his mighty collection upon making his epic comeback, too.
