Harry Smith, the son of WWE Hall of Famer 'The British Bulldog' Davey Boy Smith, made his WWE return last Friday on SmackDown. Smith appeared in a dark match prior to the show going live.
Smith had previously appeared in WWE, wrestling for the company between 2006 and 2011. He became a fan favorite along with Tyson Kidd, known as The Hart Dynasty, as they became WWE Tag Team Champions. During this time, Smith was wrestling under the name DH Smith.
Harry Smith returned earlier this year to induct his father into the WWE Hall of Fame, along with his sister, Georgia Smith, and his mother, Diana Hart. He appeared on WWE's YouTube following his dark match on SmackDown to confirm he had re-signed with the company.
That being said, let's take a look at five directions for Harry Smith in WWE.
#5 Harry Smith may have to rise up through NXT
Appearing in a dark match prior to Smackdown doesn't necessarily mean Harry Smith is destined to be on the main roster. It may have been a tester for him to get used to his old environment again.
We've seen some well established talent go through NXT first before appearing on either Raw or SmackDown. The same could be said for Harry Smith. There is an enormous amount of talent he could easily work with and create some compelling storylines with. Not only that, he would also have plenty of experience for the up-and-coming superstars looking to make it further into WWE.
#4 Work with up-and-coming superstars
Harry Smith started his professional wrestling career in 2000, making him a 20 plus year veteran of the business. His knowledge and experience will be incredibly vital for the future of WWE.
Of course, Smith was trained by his father and Bruce Hart, making him a very unique entity when it comes to his wrestling. He wrestled all around the world after leaving in 2011, making it as far as Japan to ply his craft.
All of his experience would bode well for WWE to use Harry in an enhancement role to help younger talent progress behind-the-scenes and on-screen. It wouldn't be surprising to see Harry take a coaching role in the future if one became available at the WWE Performance Center.
#3 Harry Smith could form a new tag team
In 2009, The Hart Dynasty was founded featuring Harry Smith, Tyson Kidd, and their valet Natalya. The team would go on to win the WWE Tag Team Championship and the World Tag Team Championship during their run. They also featured heavily in the match between Mr McMahon and Bret Hart at WrestleMania 26.
Harry could essentially find another tag team with the same grit and determination as him to form a new team. Tyson Kidd, sadly, is retired and is now a WWE producer, so he is not an option.
There is, however, an influx of UK talent on the WWE roster, and that could be a route he goes down to find someone similar to his father.
#2 Chase a singles championship
One thing that eluded Harry Smith during his first run in WWE was that he never managed to capture a singles championship. Even outside of WWE, his major championship successes have been in tag teams.
It is now time for Harry to finally win his first major singles championship, whether that be the NXT Title, US Title or Intercontinental Title. Harry would slot in perfectly on the mid-card of either Raw or SmackDown if he is to remain on the main roster. There is no doubt we would see some classics against the likes of Sheamus, King Nakamura and Apollo Crews.
#1 Storyline leading to the 30th Anniversary of SummerSlam at Wembley Stadium
SummerSlam in 2022 will mark the 30th anniversary of the huge summer event that took place at Wembley Stadium in the UK. The British Bulldog stole the show on that night as he defeated Bret Hart in the main event to win the Intercontinental Championship. Could Harry be back to write his own chapter in 2022?
As mentioned in the previous point, Harry Smith has yet to win a major singles title, and could it be a case that we finally see him win the Intercontinental Championship at the 30th anniversary show to pay homage to his father?
The event is still some time away, but plans could already be in place for a big moment for the son of The British Bulldog.
