Former WWE Star Could Come Out Of Retirement For Match With Drew McIntyre

A former champion in WWE has said he could come out of retirement for a dream match against current WWE Champion Drew McIntyre.

Wade Barrett recently signed with NXT as a commentator having been retired from in-ring competition since April 2016, but a match against McIntyre could tempt him back into the squared circle.

Speaking with Digital Spy, Barrett said:

“In truth if I was to come back as a full-time in-ring guy, I really would be chasing the sunset of my career. I don’t think there’s that many more years left in me.

“So the question is, what would I want to achieve? The only thing I didn’t achieve in WWE that I always wanted to achieve was to become the WWE Champion, and that title is now held by an old friend of mine, Drew McIntyre.

“So taking him on for that title is something that certainly might tempt me back for a match or two.”

Barrett did have six WWE Title matches during his career, all of them coming in 2010 in fact, but he never managed to pick up the gold.
