10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (June 24)
4. Bret Hart Didn't Know Natalya Was Going To Turn Heel
Few could claim to have seen Natalya's heel turn coming at Money In The Bank. For years, Natalya has played a sympathetic character, one coming so close to victory. Most recently, she was the primary challenger for Charlotte and the WWE Women's Title. At Roadblock, Payback and Extreme Rules, she came out on the losing end.
That was the perfect motivation for Natalya's character to finally lose it and turn against her on screen pal Becky Lynch. The turn has reinvigorated the veteran, who now has a wholly fresh feel to play around with on television. Unbelievably, she neglected to tell members of her famous family about the turn.
Watching Money In The Bank, the iconic Bret Hart was left in the same boat as everyone else. Before the pay-per-view, he had no earthly clue that Natalya was about to beat down Becky and become heel for the first time in years.
Bret enjoyed the turn, but told WrestleZone Radio that he wasn't made aware it was going to happen beforehand.
