We’ve heard a lot of chatter from people who thought it would have been funny for Bad News Barrett to come out as CM Punk in Chicago shortly after Punk left. According to Barrett, that almost happened.
Bad News Barrett was recently a guest on Chris Jericho’s podcast and he mentioned that at one point the segment was planned.
“It was in the script until about 30 minutes before the show and they pulled it. I think Paul Heyman ended up doing something similar. I didn’t have a storyline angle or important angle at that time, and Heyman and Brock did.” Barrett said.
