A member of the reigning World Tag Team Champion Hart Foundation, alongside Davey Boy Smith Jr. and Brian Pillman, Teddy Hart has been reborn in Major League Wrestling over the last year. Crashing an MLW Fusion match in Orlando demanding one last shot, MLW CEO Court Bauer granted the black sheep of the Hart family his one last chance… and Hart has made good on that opportunity.

Harnessing his uncanny athleticism and innovation, Hart has blazed a trail throughout the league winning the World Middleweight Championship in December in a ladder match in Miami. Hart further cemented his comebackdethroning the Lucha Bros. on live national television with cousin Davey Boy Smith Jr. to claim the World Tag Team Titles in February at SuperFight.

Now, Teddy looks to secure the elusive World Heavyweight Championship… but in order to do so he must outlast, outwit and outfight 39 other wrestlers in the Battle Riot®!
