WWE Rumor Roundup: 5-time IC champion willing to return, Undertaker eyeing a new role, nixed Triple H WrestleMania 37 match - 15 April 2021

#3 Wade Barrett willing to make in-ring WWE return inspired by Sheamus

Former 5-time IC Champion and current NXT announcer Wade Barrett is open to making an in-ring return to WWE.

Speaking to Corey Graves on After The Bell, the veteran said that he is all for big paychecks and wouldn't mind returning to the ring soon. Even though he loves working as a commentator in NXT, he stated that his days as an in-ring Superstar are not yet over.

Barrett named his former teammate and current WWE US Champion Sheamus as his inspiration. Praising The Celtic Warrior, Barrett said that Sheamus is a tremendous athlete who keeps getting better with age:

''Well, Sheamus is like Benjamin Button. He’s actually older than me and somehow he’s still going as good as ever, if not better. So, hats off to him. I hit 35 and I started getting one foot out of the wrestling ring and into other things at that point, although maybe I’m not done for good, we’ll see, but Sheamus, he goes as hard as ever and good for him.''

Wade Barrett being open to an in-ring return is great news as the Superstar could help elevate the mid-card of RAW or SmackDown when he returns.
