With the wrestling landscape changing so dramatically over the last few months it seems that WWE is trying to lock down talent, and NXT commentator Wade Barrett recently confirmed that he signed an extension on his deal with the company during an interview with BT Sport.
It’s been a while since fans have seen the five time WWE Intercontinental Champion wrestle, but he confirmed during the interview that he’s ready to go if the right opportunity presents itself.
“Yeah, I can still move, I can still lift. Body’s feeling good. I’ve always said, ‘Look, I’m in shape, I’m fit, and I’m healthy. If the right opportunity presents itself at my door, then maybe we’re gonna see a Wade Barrett return in the ring one day.’ I’m not chasing anything. Sometimes guys, in these interviews, start floating ideas out because they secretly really want to get back in the ring.
I love my gig in NXT. I love commentating, it’s the happiest I’ve ever been, so I don’t have some strange itch I’m desperately trying to scratch. But with that being said, I don’t think you ever really retire when you’re a wrestler. So if the right opportunity presents itself at the right time, then yeah, we might see me back in the ring at some point.”
