On how Bret’s appearance at WWE Payback came together:

BH: They approached me and I think it means a lot to Natalya to have me in her corner. I actually look forward to it. It’s going to be a great opportunity to get back to Chicago. I might get a second chance to see the great, incomparable Nick Hausman there. I look forward to whatever sort of adventure it brings me this weekend. Ric Flair is always a lot of fun. You never know what’s going to happen with Ric. I did hear some stuff about him cutting his hand at an airport.

On Bret’s thoughts when he hears a story about Ric Flair having a good time at an airport and somehow cutting his hand:

BH: I worry about Ric. I really do worry about him. He’s been through a lot the last few years. Especially with the loss of his son. I know he’s worked really hard with the success of Charlotte to kind of get his life on track. Sort of beware of those sorts of things. He’s stayed on the other side of the line for awhile, which is good. I just hope that this is not a big setback for him and that he is good. Especially with his hand. He’ll be defenseless! Putting him in the Sharpshooter will just be so easy it’s not even fair. Anyway, I worry about Ric and I do hope that it’s not any kind of a major set back for him.

On what Bret’s involvement at WWE Payback in Natalya’s match may be:

BH: I am going to do my best to see that the Hart name reigns proudly in victory.
