Wade Barrett RETURNING To Wrestling?! WWE SummerSlam Match CHANGED?! | WrestleTalk News

Wade Barrett Returning To Wrestling?

Stu Bennett, who wrestled for WWE under the name Wade Barrett, first signed a developmental contract with Vince McMahon’s promotion in 2007, where he worked his way through NXT-prequels Ohio Valley Wrestling and Florida Championship Wrestling to finally be dramatically called up as the leader of the Nexus in 2010, in one of the best wrestling angles of the 21st Century.

As was the way in those days, though, Cena wins LOL, sending Barrett flailing through King of the Ring, Bad News and League of Nations gimmicks before requesting his release from WWE in 2016. Although he’s been the General Manager of Defiant Wrestling since last September, Barrett, now called Bennett, hasn’t wrestled since.

But the former Intercontinental Champion has told the Mirror in the wake of WOS Wrestling’s first episode:

“I’m on a bit of a career sabbatical at the moment. I wrestled for 14 or 15 years. I’ve got a bunch of injuries, I’m tired, I’m getting old, I’m getting some grey hair now. I promise you that at some point I will be back in the ring and maybe that will take place in WOS.”

WWE SummerSlam 2018 Match Changed?

…WrestleVotes are claiming we might not be getting the Dolph Ziggler vs Seth Rollins rematch for SummerSlam as announced.

Texting With A Source: don’t be surprised to see one of the SummerSlam match ups already confirmed changed. Don’t get your hopes up, it’s not Reigns & Lesnar. Hearing the IC title match may not end up being Rollins v Ziggler one on one.

Dave Meltzer corroborated the report on Wrestling Observer Radio, revealing there’s talk backstage over possibly changing it to a multi-person match. Rollins is set to take on Drew McIntyre tonight on Raw, which could set up the new SummerSlam match.
