Wade Barrett Says He’s Mentally Moved On From Full-Time Wrestling, Names The One Match He’d Return For

WWE commentator Wade Barrett has not wrestled since 2016. He says that he has mentally moved on from wrestling full-time, but one match would get him to come back.

In an interview with AceOdds , Wade Barrett was asked whether WWE running major events in the United Kingdom ever gave him the itch to wrestle again.

“100%. And anytime I get asked this question, if I could have one match for the remainder of my days on this planet and you’re allowed one more match, who would it be? And it would absolutely be me against Drew McIntyre at Wembley Stadium,” Wade Barrett said. “A sold-out Wembley Stadium, I think that is the pinnacle for British wrestling, especially if you’re fans of the era back when Davey Boy and Bret Hart competed in 92 at that SummerSlam.”

Wade Barrett Isn’t Interested In Full-Time Run

Wade Barrett stated that he would come back for a match against Drew McIntyre at Wembley Stadium. However, he said that it was not something was actively pursuing. Barrett explained that he had mentally moved on from the prospect of full-time wrestling.

“If they dangled that in front of me at any point in time, yeah, absolutely. I’m coming back and I’m having that match sold out at Wembley Stadium,” he said. “But that is a bit of a pipe dream. It’s not something I’m actively pursuing or trying to pursue. I’m fit and healthy, if something came up where, ‘Okay, there’s a match here, would you be interested in doing it?’ If it makes sense to me and I was excited to do it, absolutely, I could.”

“The other thing I would say though, is I look at the kind of schedule that Cody Rhodes has, for example, it’s a killer at this point in time for me. I’m 43 years old, not too far from 44. The prospect of physically grinding that kind of schedule month after month after month as a full-time guy, it’s not for me at this point in time. I’ve kind of mentally moved on from that.”

Barrett previously had a run as the leader of The Nexus. He is a five-time WWE Intercontinental Champion. Barrett also won the King of the Ring tournament in 2015.
