Former WWE Star Interested In Another Run In The Company

WWE

A former champion has admitted that they’re interested in having another run in WWE at some point in the future.

Davey Boy Smith Jr. also known as Harry Smith and David Hart Smith, made his return to WWE in 2021 after a decade-long absence from the company.

Unfortunately Smith would only compete in non-televised matches before being quietly let go later that same year.

Since then Smith has continued having great success elsewhere, recently capturing the AJPW Triple Crown Championship for the very first time in his career.

Despite his success in AJPW, Smith did admit on the HUGE POP! podcast that there is a part of him still interested in another WWE run, being eager to show the company what he can do.

Smith said:

“Yeah, there is (that part me that wants another WWE run to show what I can do). That would have to depend on the — I mean, Jimmy (Korderas) knows, a lot of things in wrestling are just timing.

“Ted DiBiase was the right guy, right place, right time for what Vince (McMahon) wanted and he was there, you know? So, Bret (Hart) happened to be there at a time, pivotal time in the company when they were pushing smaller talent with all the scandals that were going on and stuff but, I’ll get away from that but I’m just saying, so you know, there could be a point where I’m just the guy for whatever position that they need to come in and fill. But, all that I have asked for is the opportunity and a fair chance with some momentum behind it and you never say never.

“It is possible. I’ll have to see going into 2025. I know All Japan wants to do another six months or one-year deal with me so, maybe it’s good to do that for another six months and then see, or, All Japan might be — with me here and the amount of success, the growth that both me and the company have been having. For those viewers that are watching, All Japan has been selling out Korakuen Hall every single time I’ve been on it. I can’t even get two comp tickets for friends over here.

“Again, a lot of the other wrestling companies over here, they can’t say that so that’s saying a big thing, and it’s great to see. I’m glad to be a part of that movement and improvement with the company so, but you know what? Hey, maybe I’m a big part of All Japan growing again and they start bringing over a lot of other gaijin and the company starts expanding like it really was back in the early, mid-90s so, I’m not exactly 100 percent sure. I’ll have to see but, it definitely is possible and I just would like a fair chance and an opportunity.”

It remains to be seen whether WWE are interested in potentially bringing Davey Smith Jr. back to the company at this time.

In his first spell in WWE between 2006-2011 Smith would capture the Unified WWE Tag Team Championships on one occasion alongside Tyson Kidd in The Hart Dynasty.
