Starting life in the old FCW developmental territory, The New Generation Hart Foundation (as they were initially known) first consisted of Harry Smith, Nattie Neidhart, and TJ Wilson (Tyson Kidd). Teddy Hart and Ted DiBiase Jr. were then added to the group, but the former managed to get himself released from the company for a third time in October 2007, and the latter quickly fell out of the picture.

Smith and Natalya were eventually drafted to different main roster brands, but were reunited with Kidd in 2009. The Hart Dynasty arrived in ECW, but quickly headed to SmackDown, and Kidd and Smith eventually became Unified Tag Team Champions. They held the belts for 146 days before dropping them to Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre, and their dissolution followed shortly after that, with Kidd turning on Smith.

The Hart Dynasty's run was unremarkable, but they ruled the tag division for the best part of a year, and their family ties allowed all three to enjoy a decent level of prominence in their respective divisions. A gang of average midcarders they may have been, but the paucity of top tier stables in modern day WWE means that's more than enough to make the cut.
