Wade Barrett and WWE are negotiating a deal for him to return permanently as a member of the NXT broadcast team, PWInsider hears.
He will return for tomorrow’s NXT on the USA Network, which will conclude his two-week “feeling out” period. Should a deal be reached, it would be strictly in a non-wrestling capacity. However, as we have seen, these type of opportunities usually open up the door for more.
Barrett came up through WWE’s developmental system in the mid-2000s as a member of the Ohio Valley Wrestling and later Florida Championship Wrestling roster. He caught his first big break on WWE television as the leader of The Nexus faction in 2010.
He was released from WWE in 2016 and had been quiet on the wrestling front for a few years before joining the NWA as a broadcaster in December 2019.
