WWE's Plans For Davey Boy Smith Jnr
The son of the British Bulldog and former Hart Dynasty member to be "The Stampede Stud"
It was planned for Davey Boy Smith Jr to be the "Stampede Stud" during his surprising 2021 return to WWE.
This is according to a new report from Fightful Select, who were able to note the following comments recently made by the second generation star. They commented that;
"When asked if he'd re-sign with WWE, he said that if the did, it would only be for the paycheck and doesn't believe his heart would be into the content they produce. After the last go around, he was glad they paid him well to spend his time getting in shape, but said that doing that also was costly for him. He reiterated that the gimmick WWE had planned for him was the Stampede Stud, which he was actually pretty excited for. He thought his dark matches in the company went well, and he said that Vince McMahon told him he looked good. Smith was supposed to debut for the Smackdown brand before he was fired."
Smith Jr (real name Harry Smith) was re-signed in the summer of 2021, working a SmackDown dark match in July that was supported by a digital short for the company's YouTube channel. Before he'd even appeared on television with the aforementioned role or any other, he was let go the following November in another round of "budget cut" releases.
He'd previously worked for the company between 2006 and 2011, winning tag team gold alongside Hart Dynasty partner Tyson Kidd.
