Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels, WWE's top Superstars of the mid-1990s, really didn't like each other. Tension between the two reached new heights in May of 1997 when Michaels delivered an unscripted line on Monday Night Raw that slyly accused Hart of having an extramarital affair with Sunny. Hart confronted Michaels about it backstage, and a heated argument soon turned into a fight. Allegedly, the two rolled around in the backstage area, knocking a interview backdrop over before they were separated by Jerry Lawler and Pat Patterson. Though it was stopped before much damage could be done, Hart did tear out a chunk of Michaels's hair, which led to an angry HBK threatening to leave the company. Even though things got even worse after the Montreal Screwjob, this story has a happy ending - Hart and Michaels made amends when the former returned to WWE in 2010.
