Bret Hart was unaware he was going to lose the WWF championship belt during a 1997 pay per view!

The Montreal Screwjob was a controversial, real-life professional wrestling incident.

World Wrestling Federation owner Vince McMahon and other WWF employees covertly manipulated the pre-determined outcome of the main event match between Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels at the Survivor Series pay-per-view event held on November 9, 1997, at theMolson Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

The manipulation, a "shoot screwjob" in professional wrestling parlance, occurred without Hart's knowledge and resulted in Hart, the reigning WWF Champion, losing the title to Michaels in Hart's last match with the WWF before departing for rival promotion World Championship Wrestling (WCW).

The "screwjob" is generally held to be an off-screen betrayal of Hart, who was one of the WWF's longest-tenured and most popular performers at the time.
