Davey Boy Smith Jr. isn’t ruling out the idea of reuniting with Lance Archer at some point in All Elite Wrestling.
All Japan Pro Wrestling’s Davey Boy Smith Jr. was a recent guest on Hannibal TV. When asked about a potential reunion with his former tag team partner, All Elite Wrestling‘s Lance Archer, in the future, Smith Jr. didn’t rule it out as a possibility.
“Yeah, that’s a good question,” Davey Boy Smith Jr. admitted. “A lot of people have asked stuff like that in the past. I certainly don’t have any problem or issue with doing anything with AEW. Working with MLW, I’ve worked with a lot of New Japan talent that have been coming in.
“I got nothing bad to say about New Japan either. I’m very thankful for the work that they gave me. Time expired, and there was a lot of stuff, a lot of middlemen, and things that got confused between myself and them. But they just didn’t seem to want to really expand with me, and I was ready to move on, and time expired. But it is certainly a possibility.
AEW hasn’t reached out to Davey Boy Smith Jr.
“People have asked a lot of times about why I wasn’t on the Wembley Stadium show or why I’m not in AEW, and a lot of it is, the last year or so, I was doing stuff with MLW against. I guess from AEW’s perspective, which I totally understand, I’m not mad at all, if they bring me in for one show, I guess I’m gonna have to go over, and then it’s just a one-shot deal.
“Obviously, they had enough people in attendance that they didn’t necessarily need me as an addition, although I would have been a positive addition to the show. Then to MLW’s respect, it’s like okay, I go off and do this one big show for AEW, and if I did lose on it, it’d be kind of what would MLW get positive out of it? Maybe some exposure, I’m not sure, but with all due respect to them, it’s a little hard.
“Also, there hasn’t been any reach out as far as if I were to do that, fans would want to see a continuation or some sort of a story after that, or further additions to an AEW, not just one-time match, but tag-teaming with Lance Archer for instance, but that’s people that they have under contract, so I would be up for it if it was a one-thing deal.
Davey Boy is open to going to AEW once his All Japan deal expires
“But I think that maybe it’s better that I’m over here in All Japan, and I think my life and quality of life and the way I’m progressing myself personally over here, I think that’s the best idea that I continue on with All Japan Pro Wrestling, and if AEW did have a tag team tournament, a yearly one, I could perhaps go there.
“Maybe when my All Japan deal is done, maybe I do go to AEW. I’m not sure. I’m not against that at all, in any way, shape, or form. Reuniting with Lance Archer, it certainly got over in the past, and maybe it would be a fresh breath of air for AEW if I came. But I would be up for it, but it just hasn’t happened because I haven’t been approached, it hasn’t worked out.” [H/T: Fightful]
