Wade Barrett Reveals Dumbest Thing He’s Experienced While Working For WWE

Wade Barrett is currently working on the WWE SmackDown brand doing commentary alongside Michael Cole, but when he first started appearing on WWE programming he was trying to earn a spot on the roster in NXT. After the first season of NXT wrapped up the competitors decided to form the Nexus and they wreaked havoc on the main roster for some time.

During an appearance on Out of Character with Ryan Satin, Wade Barrett talked about his early days working as the leader of Nexus and he revealed that the group was not allowed to change in the locker room.

“Genuinely, it was one of the dumbest things that I’ve experienced in my time in WWE. There was a person who was put in charge of us who is no longer with the company who decided that it would be appropriate for a faction of guys who were attacking the company to not be allowed in the locker room, which would absolutely makes sense because in terms of Nexus, we were coming out of the crowd, we were perceived as outsiders who hadn’t earned contracts in WWE. So, it kind of made a bit of logical sense.”

“Why am I main-eventing Survivor Series, why are we all main-eventing SummerSlam, yet I’m not eligible to step in the locker room here?” Barrett questioned. “I’m gonna change in the hallway; dinner ladies and catering staff and cleaners are walking past while I’m putting my gear on. I’m like, ‘This is stupid. There’s no benefit to this. There’s no payoff to this whatsoever.'”
