Davey Boy Smith Jr. had decided to carry on his father’s legacy since he was 8 years old. He was trained by his father, the late great Davey Boy Smith, and his uncle, Bruce Hart. In 2007, Davey Boy Smith Jr. performed in the WWE’s developmental territories before making his television debut the same year, when he defeated Carlito in a singles match on RAW.
Smith’s wrestling moves have been similar to those of his father’s, and he uses his father’s trademark, the running Powerslam, which was seen during his time in the WWE. Davey Boy Smith Jr. rose to prominence when he became a part of the Hart Dynasty. The Hart Dynasty was a stable consisting of Smith’s cousin Natalya and her husband Tyson Kidd.
The Hart Dynasty was a successful stable, with Tyson Kidd and Davey Boy Smith Jr. winning the World Tag Team Championship once and the WWE Tag Team Championship once in their careers. Natalya, too, won the Divas Championship once as a part of the Hart Dynasty.
Davey Boy Smith Jr. recently stated on the Total BeezSheez Show that Tyson Kidd was his favourite tag team partner, noting that they had a natural synergy growing up together and their timing was always right. Smith said that they could both complete their sequences with their eyes closed.
Davey Boy Smith Jr. brought up the AEW Tag Team FTR and stated that if they had been around back then, he would have wanted to wrestle the FTR with Kidd as his tag team partner. He believes the bout would have been fantastic since they are both tag team specialists.
“There could be a great tag team like FTR for instance, If back in the day, Tyson and I teamed up and wrestled them in a tag, the match probably would’ve been great.”
Davey Boy Smith Jr. had a short stint in the WWE in 2021
In 2020, Davey Boy Smith Jr. appeared on WWE’s The Bump with his former tag team partner Tyson Kidd. Thereafter, he also appeared on the Corey Graves’ After the Bell Podcast, where it was announced that Smith’s father, Davey Boy Smith, would be inducted into the Hall of Fame that year.
However, the event was cancelled due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, and in 2021, Davey Boy Smith was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. Smith Jr., along with his mother Diana and sister Georgia, accepted the award on behalf of his late father.
Thereafter, in July, Smith signed a contract with WWE and wrestled a dark match on SmackDown. He never appeared on television and was released from the company in November. Smith Jr. currently wrestles for the NWA since March of this year.
