Why did Teddy Hart leave MLW?
Hart left MLW because of various differences. PW Insider (H/T Wrestling Inc) said that sources within MLW were upset with Hart showing up at other promotions, which also included showing up at NXT. The source said,
"We felt Teddy was being not only disrespectful to us but to AEW and NXT and their locker rooms. If he had just been in the back, it's a non-issue. He was taking away from the talent in the ring with the antics too."
Why did Teddy Hart show up at AEW Dark?
It's unclear of the motivation behind Hart showing up at AEW Dark. There is no news on him having interest in AEW or vice-versa.
