Harwood has been a longtime fan of Hart, incorporating many of the wrestler's moves and mannerisms into his matches, especially his singles matches. Hart was touched by Harwood and CM Punk's various homages to him during a match the two men had a couple of years back. Hart texted Harwood before the match as the two share a long history together.
Most famously, Harwood, as well as his partner Cash Wheeler, were part of the group that caught and expelled the fan who attacked Hart during a WWE Hall of Fame ceremony some years back. Wheeler even landed a stiff punch on the fan for good measure, the video of which went mildly viral. The former AAA and IWGP Tag Team Champion injured his lower back delivering a Piledriver to Matt Jackson at AEW Dynasty and is set to be out of action indefinitely.
