Wade Barrett is down for an in-ring return if it makes sense to him.
Barrett, who hasn’t competed since 2016 and now works as a commentator on RAW, recently spoke with AceOdds to discuss a potential return to the ring.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On if WWE’s events in the UK made him want to return to the ring: “100%. Anytime I get asked this question, if I could have one match for the remainder of my days on this planet and you’re allowed one more match, who would it be? It would absolutely be me against Drew McIntyre at Wembley Stadium. A sold-out Wembley Stadium, I think that is the pinnacle for British wrestling, especially if you’re fans of the era back when Davey Boy and Bret Hart competed in 92 at that SummerSlam.”
On the possibility of a match with Drew McIntyre at Wembley Stadium: “If they dangled that in front of me at any point in time, yeah, absolutely. I’m coming back and I’m having that sold-out match at Wembley Stadium. But that is a bit of a pipe dream. It’s not something I’m actively pursuing or trying to pursue. I’m fit and healthy, if something came up where they say, ‘Okay, there’s a match here, would you be interested in doing it?’ If it makes sense to me and I was excited to do it, absolutely, I could.
“The other thing I would say though, is I look at the kind of schedule that Cody Rhodes has, for example, it’s a killer at this point in time for me. I’m 43 years old, not too far from 44. The prospect of physically grinding that kind of schedule month after month after month as a full-time guy, it’s not for me at this point in time. I’ve kind of mentally moved on from that.”
Baron Corbin says he’s loving his time teaming with Apollo Crews these days.
During a recent interview with WrestleManiac UK, Corbin commented on his current success as a tag team competitor, his friendship with Crews, and more.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On teaming with Crews: “Apollo and I have been friends for nearly 12 years now. Him and I fought each other in London in NXT. It’s been a cool ride for him and I.”
On his success as a tag team competitor: “It’s been great. Having somebody to kind of lean on a little bit. It’s a great feeling to have and you can kind of share those commonalities.”
On feeling stuck before he went to NXT: “When I was kind of finishing my time up there on the main roster before NXT, like, I was stuck man… [Allying with JBL] didn’t resonate with the audience like I saw it; I still think it could have been so successful.. It kinda put me in a dark place in a sense.”
On finding his footing there: “The fans got a new version of me down there where they were like: ‘Oh, he can go?’”
