• Former Tag Team Champion Confirms His Return To WWE
In a dark match before SmackDown, Davey Boy Smith Jr. (aka Harry Smith), son of WWE Hall Of Famer The British Bulldog, made his return to in-ring action in a WWE ring.
He teamed up with NXT wrestler Austin Theory to defeat the team of Odyssey Jones and Xyon Quinn (fka Daniel Vidot).
Harry got interviewed backstage after his match and he confirmed his return to WWE.
Here’s what he said:
“You know, it’s great to be back in the WWE, especially in front of the WWE Universe, live here in Houston, Texas. The atmosphere, the ambience, the energy that you can feel from a live WWE audience, nothing can touch that and that’s why Harry Smith is back in the WWE.
The past 10 years I’ve been going around the globe, making myself the best competitor that I can be, all over in Japan, all over in Europe, and that’s why I’m back in the WWE, to show exactly how much Harry Smith has grown over this past time.”
He previously worked for WWE from 2006 to 2011 and was known as David Hart Smith. He’s a former 2-time Tag Team Champion in the WWE. He inducted his late father into the WWE Hall Of Fame earlier this year.
