WWE Interested In Signing Davey Boy Smith Jr.?
Could the former Hart Dynasty man be on his way back to Stamford?
He might be tethered to Major League Wrestling for the foreseeable future, but it looks like Davey Boy Smith Jr. is back on WWE's radar.
The 33-year-old has previously worked for the promotion as DH and Harry Smith, and was a two-time Tag Team Champion as part of the Hart Dynasty with Tyson Kidd and Natalya. He left the company after a lengthy period of inactivity in August 2011, however.
PWInsider recently reported that Smith recently inked a new MLW contract to stay with the organisation for the next few years. The Wrestling Observer's Dave Meltzer followed up with a story stating that MLW intend on handing DBS Jr. a considerable push. but he's also generating big interesting from major promotions - including WWE.
MLW contracts are a grey area, as several other wrestlers (including Pentagon and Rey Fenix) have been allowed to break them to sign with other companies in recent months, suggesting they aren't as iron-clad as those in WWE or AEW. Regardless, it would be interesting to see Smith plying his trade on such a big stage after making a name for himself on the indies and in NJPW over the past few years.
