With Ric Flair featured so heavily in the women's division running around protecting his daughter, Women's Champion Charlotte, WWE decided the right title challenger for its next pay-per-view (PPV) event, Payback on May 1 in Rosemont, Illinois, would be Natalya. That's because she can always call on her old uncle Bret Hart to come in and even the odds.

Even if he doesn't actually want to show up.

During his spoken word tour in the UK, here's what he had to say about it (via Total Wrestling Magazine):

"I do it to honor Nattie. I have no desire to be there, no desire to be on TV. I'm happy to be there for Nattie but I've just had wrist surgery so it's not a great time. It'll be great to put Flair in the sharpshooter though."

Good ol' grumpy Bret.

Here's to hoping, grumpy or not, he comes through on that Sharpshooter, though.
