WWE NXT: 3 performers who could strengthen NXT UK
The NXT UK brand has exponentially progressed since it's inception. In 2016 WWE brought the UK Championship tournament to Blackpool, and a new champion was born, his name was, Tyler Bate.
Since then there have been only two more champions, Pete Dunne, and the new champion, Walter. Following Walter's victory at NXT Takeover: New York 2019, Dunne's extensive championship ended.
The plethora of talent on the NXT UK brand is astonishing. With names like; Rhea Ripley, Pete Dunne, Joe Coffey, and Jordan Devlin, it is hard to argue the level of entertainment on offer.
Nevertheless, the brand could always be improved. However, by who? Which UK wrestlers have yet shined on the WWE stage? Let's explore them now.
#3 Davey Boy Smith Jr
Davey Boy Smith Jr is the son of legendary WWE wrestler, British Bulldog Davey Boy Smith. Between 2006-2011 Smith worked for WWE and was successful in the Tag Team division alongside Tyson Kidd.
Since 2012 he has earned a plethora of singles and tag team championships. Arguably he has reached heights equal to his father.
Alongside his tag team partner, Lance Archer, he is a former three-time IWGP Tag Team Champion in NJPW. Moreover, he's also a former two-time GHC Tag Team Champion. Together Smith and Archer are known as Killer Elite and have worked excellently as a team. They are reminiscent of the late British Bulldogs.
Since 2018, Smith has been working in Major League Wrestling, as a member of the New Hart Foundation, also including; Teddy Hart and Brian Pillman Jr. Presently they are the tag team champions.
Considering his connections with WWE, he has great potential to return. Moreover, imagine the matches he could have with names like; Pete Dunne, Walter, or Ligero. What can we expect?
