Oh come on, like you aren’t sitting there and hoping that this will happen. Why else would you have both of them there?

Sure, when Natalya and Charlotte battled for the then-vacant NXT Women’s Championship a couple years back, Bret “Hitman” Hart and Ric Flair were there to cheer on their respective family members, and no shenanigans ensued. But in Sunday’s match, we have a very clear heel in Charlotte, and her father has been involved in several of the decisions. Bret being there is not just for moral support, but to counter the Nature Boy’s presence.

Hart defeated Flair for his first WWF Championship way back in October 1992. Wonder if the announcers will drop that bit of knowledge during the PPV.
