Wade Barrett jokes he is furious about Drew McIntyre being the WWE Champion
Former WWE Superstar Wade Barrett jokingly said on Twitter that he was furious about the fact that Drew McIntyre is the first-ever British WWE Champion as he believes that it should have been him.

Wade Barrett's WWE run
Wade Barrett was one of the biggest rising Superstars in the company after he invaded the main roster with his group Nexus. Wade Barrett was the leader of the group and looked destined to be the first-ever British wrestler to hold the biggest title in the company.
In fact, many thought it was only a matter of time before Wade Barrett would become one of the biggest names in the company. However, it wasn’t to be, as his career went downhill after losing to John Cena at TLC in 2010.
Meanwhile, Drew McIntyre, who was dubbed as the Chosen One by Vince McMahon himself during his first stint with WWE, went on to become the first British wrestler to become the WWE Champion after defeating Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania earlier this year.
