Hart showed up uninvited to ICW No Holds Barred Pitfighter X: Battle of the Tough Guys on April 9 and was removed from the building according to IWTV.

Chris Dickinson took a photo with Hart and Davey Boy Smith Jr, which caused controversy online. Dickinson issued a video apology, saying, "I want to be as transparent as possible about the whole with this stupid photo. I absolutely regret taking this photo. It was a pour lapse of judgment on my part. Teddy shouldn't have been in the locker room, no matter how long or quick it was. I shouldn't have taken a photo with Ted and I completely regret it. I'm sincerely remorseful and I hope people can accept my apology. It was in poor judgment and a bad lapse of judgment on my part. Please, understand, Ted Hart is not my friend. I do not support him or condone what he's done or anything about him. In that moment, I was not thinking before I decided 'Yeah, I'll take a picture with you.' I'm sorry."

Hart was incarcerated in February with charges listed as evading arrest, injuring child/elderly/disabled, and possession of controlled substances. You can find more information by clicking here.
