Wade Barrett returned to WWE on last week’s episode of NXT as an announcer. It was also announced that Barrett will be back on the commentary desk for this week’s episode of NXT.
We have an update to pass your way on Barrett’s future with WWE.
According to Mike Johnson of PWinsider, Wade recently met with WWE officials to discuss his full-time return to the company.
This would be as an announcer though and not as an in-ring performer. Here is what Johnson wrote:
After making his return to WWE NXT as an announcer last week, Stu Bennett aka Wade Barrett met with WWE officials and is currently negotiating a full-time return to the company as an announcer, PWInsider.com has confirmed.
Bennett appeared on this past Wednesday’s edition of WWE NXT and will appear as well on tomorrow’s episode. Those appearances were pretty much a “feeling out” process to see if the two sides were interested in working together going forward.
There had been WWE interest in Bennett dating back to early 2020 as an announcer. We are told that if the two sides come to terms, it would be for Bennett to announce, not return as a full-time in-ring performer. There was talk over the last few days that Bennett could perhaps be plugged into NXT UK as an announcer.
