WWE Raw Season Premiere Preview (9/9/24): Bret Hart Returns to Calgary

Written by bet sport on . Posted in Blog.

The season premiere of WWE Raw is set to be an action-packed event, and none other than Bret “The Hitman” Hart will be making a special appearance in his hometown of Calgary, Canada. Alongside Hart’s return, fans can expect a massive street fight, a Women’s Tag Team Championship showdown, and the final match of the Intercontinental Championship No.1 Contender tournament. Here’s a preview of the must-see event airing on the USA Network at 8/7c.

WWE Raw (9/9/24) Match Card

  1. 8-Person Street Fight: “The Wyatt Sicks” vs. “American Made”
    • The Wyatt Sicks: Erick Rowan, Joe Gacy, Dexter Lumis & Nikki Cross (w/ Uncle Howdy)
    • American Made: Chad Gable, The Creed Brothers & Ivy Nile This chaotic street fight is set to be explosive, with two factions clashing in a no-rules environment that could easily spill out of the Scotia Bank Saddledome.
  2. Intercontinental Championship No.1 Contender Tournament Final
    • Jey Uso vs. Ilja Dragunov vs. Pete Dunne vs. Braun Strowman Four of WWE’s toughest competitors will battle for a chance to challenge Bron Breakker for the Intercontinental Championship. Each wrestler brings their own strengths to this high-stakes contest, with Jey Uso looking to shed his “almost guy” reputation, while Dragunov aims to continue his breakout year.
  3. WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship Match
    • Bianca Belair & Jade Cargill vs. “The Unholy Union” Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn Belair and Cargill form a powerful team as they face off against the dark and dangerous Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship. Expect a fierce battle between these two duos.

Bret “The Hitman” Hart Returns

WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart will make a special appearance on the season premiere, marking a homecoming for “The Hitman” in Calgary. Nine years ago, Hart introduced Sami Zayn on WWE Raw, predicting his future stardom. Now, with Zayn on the brink of a World Heavyweight Championship match against Gunther, Hart’s presence could give Zayn the motivational push he needs to capture the ultimate prize.

The Intercontinental Championship Tournament Final

Initially, “Big” Bronson Reed was a favorite to win the Intercontinental Championship No.1 Contender tournament, but due to a COVID-19 diagnosis, Reed had to withdraw. Braun Strowman took his place and now joins Jey Uso, Pete Dunne, and Ilja Dragunov in the final match. Each competitor has something to prove, and only one will earn a shot at Bron Breakker’s title. Expect interference, high-impact moves, and plenty of drama as these four fight for their chance at championship gold.

What’s at Stake?

  • Jey Uso needs a win to break away from his near-miss status in WWE.
  • Pete Dunne might face retaliation from Sheamus after their previous encounter.
  • Braun Strowman holds the size advantage and is ready to dominate.
  • Ilja Dragunov aims to solidify his place as one of the rising stars of 2024 with another big win.

Tune in to WWE Raw for a night of unforgettable action, surprise moments, and a return from a wrestling legend.
