Bad News Barrett pitches Tag match at WrestleMania against Steve Austin and Football player
Bad News Barrett has been getting some media for calling out Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney on Twitter for diving to win a penalty and defeat Preston North End this past Monday. Rooney responded to Barrett's tweet and suggested a tag team match at WrestleMania pitting Barrett and Preston North End striker Kevin Davies against himself and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. Davies accepted the match, while Austin's only response was to Rooney's receding hairline.

Austin eventually weighed in on the challenge, but only to address Rooney's hairline:
@Robbanks1979 @WadeBarrett @WayneRooney @Kevin__Davies @VinceMcMahon Embrace the baldness. And that's the bottom line...
