One of the voices of NXT 2.0 will not rule out the possibility of returning to the ring at some point.
Wade Barrett recently announced he had re-signed with WWE as a commentator, extending his contract with the promotion. Barrett has been one of the voices of WWE for quite some time now, and the idea of him returning to the ring has been speculated by many fans since he took his place at the NXT commentary desk.
While speaking with BT Sport for a new interview, Barrett was asked about competing in the ring again. Barrett made it clear that he does not rule out returning to the ring again.
“Yeah, I can still move. I can still lift. My body is feeling good. I’ve always said that I’m in good shape, I’m healthy, and if the right opportunity presents itself at my door, then maybe we’ll see Wade Barrett return in the ring one day. I’m not chasing anything. Sometimes guys start floating ideas out because they secretly want to get back into the ring. I love my gig in NXT. I love commentating. I’m the happiest I’ve ever been, so I don’t have some sort of strange itch I’m trying to desperately scratch, but with that being said, I don’t think you ever really retire when you’re a wrestler, so if the right opportunity presents itself at the right time then yeah we might see me back in the ring at some point.”

Time will tell if we will see the former leader of Nexus back in the ring once again, but for now he remains happy calling the action on NXT 2.0.
