Back in February Davey Boy Smith Jr admitted that there had been talks with WWE to bring him to NXT UK but the plans have fallen through due to the Covid 19 Global Health pandemic. During the a recent interview Hannibal TV Davey Boy would note that he feels that there is not enough star power on NXT UK and though he does recognise that the brand has plenty of talent, there is just no one with big name power.
During the interview he was asked the question of whether he believed there was enough talent in the UK to build a division around him;
“With all due respect to a lot of the guys there, there’s just not a lot of name power. Due to the COVID pandemic there’s no live audience and that’s going to hurt things also. I think if they had more name power…if they had Finn Balor and a few other guys, WALTER has some name power. The problem is COVID, they can’t draw live audiences and everything is so isolated in the UK. You can’t send guys back-and-forth regularly. Hopefully, they can have a waiting game with it and things will look up. They do have great talent, it’s just not a lot of actual name power,”
