Smith teamed with Austin Theory. Smith is a former WWE Tag Team Champion with Tyson Kidd. Smith is part of the Hart family and also regularly appeared with Natalya.

We don’t have any word if this means Smith will be part of the SmackDown roster moving forward. Smith recently appeared for MLW and has been rumored to return for some time.

Xia Li wrestled Aliyah also on Dark. Aliyah was reportedly traded to the main roster earlier this week.
