WWE Star Blasts ‘Stupid’ Locker Room Rules

WWE

A WWE star has recalled “one of the dumbest things” they had ever experienced in their time with WWE in a recent interview.

Speaking on the Out of Character with Ryan Satin podcast, Wade Barrett reflected on his time with the Nexus and said:

“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.”

Given that backstage segments in WWE rarely featured a trip to the locker room area, unless a fight was about to break out or something dramatic was going to happen, the decision does sound a bit pointless.

Barrett would go on to point out the flaws in the logic of the employee, explaining:

“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?

“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.'”

Barrett wasn’t in a position to challenge the directive, however, as he was still a rookie in the company.
