Bret had an idea where HBK would job at Mania when Bret got him in a killer submission and snapped his ankle. Bret wouldn't shake his hand or show any kind of remorse to him. Fans would booo. Shawn would come back and take the Title. Then they would do a tag thing. HBK said it was cool. Then he did the interview about "losing his smile." |
In fact, Shawn was back a bit earlier than that. He won the Tag Title alongside Stone Cold Steve Austin in late May and went on to wrestle Steve at the 1997 King of the Ring.
Shawn then did something to breech his WWF contract (I can't think at the moment whether that was just missing an appearance or what.), only to return a couple of weeks later.
I believe there was speculation that Shawn wanted to get out of his WWF contract so that he could join his friends Scott Hall and Kevin Nash in WCW.
