Davey Boy Smith Jr. Speaks On Potential WWE Return
Davey Boy Smith Jr. has confirmed he has been in talks with WWE about a return to the company.
The son of the late “British Bulldog” Davey Boy Smith recently spoke to Metro UK, speaking on a potential return, as well as NXT UK plans that fell through last year.
“There’s been quite a bit of interest and a little bit of back and forth talk with myself and the company.” Smith stated. “I think that the plan – or what they were hoping – was for me to come to NXT UK. But unfortunately right now because of Covid, those doors are kind of locked, we’ll see.”
Smith also spoke on interest in him joining the domestic NXT brand in Orlando, indicating he cannot reveal his status, but there has been talks.
“There has been interest in me going to NXT down here in Orlando. I live down here in Tampa, Florida, so I’ve just been feeling things out, trying to get a lay of the land, so to speak. ‘We’re discussing and talking. I can’t exactly say anything for sure, but there’ve been talks.”
The article also noted AEW has shown interest in Smith, and “Ring of Honor also providing an attractive prospect”. He believes with his father’s induction into the WWE Hall of Fame, going back to the WWE may be the best option.
“There’s other places, but with my father’s Hall of Fame induction, maybe that’s a good idea, to go back to WWE – whichever brand or roster it is. It’s just not an any decision to make,’ Smith said. “I know Natalya is on SmackDown. I could very well go there. NXT down here is certainly a good place to get re-established.”
Davey Boy Smith Jr. will be competing at Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport this weekend against Calvin Tankman.
