Wade Barrett is set to return to NXT tonight as a commentator. It’s understood it’s a one time deal to cover for Mauro Ranallo, who also missed this past weekend’s NXT TakeOver event.
Since leaving WWE in 2016, Barrett hasn’t wrestled, although he did come close to wrestling for Lucha Underground. Instead, Barrett, under his real name Stu Bennett has worked as a commentator for both World of Sport Wrestling in the UK, and Billy Corgan’s National Wrestling Alliance, which he showed a great natural ability for.
Interestingly, WWE has decided to bring in Barrett when Nigel McGuinness is still furloughed. This could be an ominous sign for the former Ring of Honor champion.
