Bad News Barrett on Wayne Rooney in WWE, Raw Dark Match main event
- Regarding Bad News Barrett, Squawka.com has an article here about Barrett being asked about how Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney would fare in WWE. Barrett got into a Twitter spat with Rooney after calling Rooney out on Twitter for diving to win a penalty and defeat Preston North End in February.
"I think Wayne Rooney would be great in the WWE? I mean he's universally hated," Barrett said. "He's very good at getting booed, very good at getting a reaction. He's obviously a great athlete, the question is; is he up to the task of stepping into the ring with some of the toughest guys in the world like me? That remains to be seen."
- Following the two-week tour in Europe, WWE returns stateside for RAW this Monday night from the Times Union Center in Albany, NY. The advertised dark match main event is John Cena, Daniel Bryan and Roman Reigns vs. WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins, Kane and The Big Show.
It remains to be seen if Bryan will be able to compete after being pulled from the European tour earlier this week.
Here is the video of Barrett talking about Rooney.
