Triple H needs to bring 5-time champion out of retirement to play a vital role in CM Punk vs Drew McIntyre at WWE Bad Blood

The CM Punk and Drew McIntyre feud will most likely end at the Bad Blood Premium Live Event on October 5. Punk and Drew McIntyre will battle it out in a Hell in a Cell Match at the PLE. However, before the bout, Triple H will be tasked with hyping up the rivalry on RAW.

Until now, The Game has done a phenomenal job creating hype around the rivalry between Punk and McIntyre. However, he could better his efforts by getting a five-time champion to come out of retirement and involving him in the ongoing Punk-McIntyre feud.

Wade Barrett, who is a ring announcer on the red brand presently, is a former five-time WWE Intercontinental Champion. His involvement could be crucial leading up to Bad Blood.

Wade Barrett is connected to Drew McIntyre and CM Punk

On RAW's latest episode, Drew McIntyre spoke about the great bond he shares with Wade Barrett, which makes it obvious they are good friends on and off the screen. However, the commentator's connection with CM Punk is that he does not like the former AEW star.

Punk and Barrett also have a lot of shared history due to their time in the Nexus. Hence, since the 44-year-old has a good relationship with McIntyre and an ugly one with Punk, his involvement in the rivalry would be fun to watch.

It could also be beneficial to McIntyre as Barrett might look to help the Scotsman if he does get involved.

There will be a lot of eyes on Wade Barrett

It is important to note that Wade Barrett is filling big shoes on RAW as he replaces the great, Michael Cole, who has moved to SmackDown. While commentary is not a new job for the former champion, taking the place of the legendary Cole is indeed a big task, and the Englishman will want to make an impression.

The best way he can get eyeballs on him is by involving himself in the Punk and McIntyre saga. When The Scottish Warrior shared the spotlight with Barrett on RAW last week, the video clip of the segment on WWE's YouTube channel garnered 650k views. That alone proves what this rivalry could do for the 44-year-old, which would also benefit the Stamford-based promotion.

Wade Barrett is good with his promos

During his time as the leader of Nexus and even after that, Wade Barrett was appreciated for his promos. Time and again, the former Nexus leader continued to prove he was a great talker, and that's one of the reasons why he excels as a commentator. While CM Punk and Drew McIntyre are great with their promos, adding Barrett to the mix would lead to more excitement.

It would also make many fans nostalgic as they would get to see the former Intercontinental Champion participate actively in a feud, which he hasn't done in a long time. If WWE goes ahead with something along these lines, they could also test how the crowd responds to Barrett and make him part of many more segments and feuds in the future.
