Intercontinental Championship champion British Bulldog since

After defeating a friend in Roddy Piper, Bret Hart had to defend his title against not only a friend, but against a family member in “British Bulldog” Davey Boy Smith. Smith was Hart’s brother-in-law as he had married Diana, Bret’s sister. The two met in Bulldog’s backyard at Wembley Stadium in London, so Smith had an advantage before the match even began. To get the crowd even more behind him, Smith also brought British boxer Lennox Lewis to the ring with him. Both superstars had their shots, but after 25 minutes of action, Smith was able to reverse a sunset flip for the pin in what is considered one of the best Intercontinental Championship matches in WWE history. After the match, the two shook hands and reunited the Hart family in the ring.
