3. Some Cool Coincidence

If you've never had the pleasure, then boot up WWE Network/Peacock and check out Sami Zayn vs. John Cena from the 4 May 2015 episode of Raw. That was a massive night for Sami. Not only was he working Cena, but his idol Bret Hart was introducing him to the live hometown crowd.

Austin got a kick out of what Zayn revealed next.

The SmackDown man pointed to a freeze frame of Cena holding his hand aloft post-match and said he'd been in that same arena's nosebleed seats for Survivor Series 1997. Back then, the now-Bell Centre was known as the Molson Centre, and it saw history as Bret was screwed in the main event.

'Stone Cold' thought that was really cool, and he laughed when Sami said he had to take a pair of binoculars with him because the Molson didn't have a big screen inside it. The young fan was so far away that he could barely see Hart vs. Shawn Michaels go down.

It's so bizarre that Bret was debuting him in the same building almost 18 years later.
