Rumor Roundup: WWE Employees Given Stock Awards, Post-WWE Update On Lars Sullivan, More

3) New Name For WWE Developmental Superstar

According to Heel By Nature, WWE recently filed a trademark for the name “Kevin Patrick”.

This seems to be hinting at a new name for an WWE developmental Superstar.

My Take:

  • Kevin Patrick sounds like an Irish Bartender. In all seriousness though, I am interested to see who ends up with this name and will give them a chance.

2) The Plans For Davey Boy Smith Jr. If He Signs With WWE

According to Dave Meltzer in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE is currently planning to use Davey Boy Smith Jr. on NXT UK. This is if he decides to sign with the company.

Here is what Meltzer wrote:

It’s not clear where Smith Jr. would wind up but at least a few months ago the U.K. brand was being talked about the most, but he could wind up anywhere

My Take:

  • I think that he would be a good fit on the UK brand. It gives them a bigger name and someone who could get fans to tune in. I like the idea.
