Wade Barrett wants one final WWE match against former World Heavyweight Champion
Former Nexus leader Wade Barrett is willing to come out of retirement for one more match against former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Drew McIntyre. The British wrestler hasn't laced up his boots in over eight years.
Since returning to WWE in 2020, Barrett has served as a color commentator on NXT and now SmackDown. Wade, at 43, isn't getting any younger, but he has kept himself in good shape.
In an interview with AceOdds, the former Intercontinental Champion revealed his desire to face Drew McIntyre in front of a jam-packed crowd at Wembley Stadium, which happens to be in his home country.
"If I could have one match for the remainder of my days on this planet, it would absolutely be me against Drew McIntyre at Wembley Stadium. If they dangled that in front of me at any point in time, yeah, absolutely. I'm coming back, and I'm having that match sold out at Wembley Stadium. But that is a bit of a pipe dream," Barrett said.

What's next for Drew McIntyre in WWE?
Drew McIntyre is currently serving an indefinite suspension after he laid his hands on WWE RAW General Manager Adam Pearce. Wade Barrett had to intervene and calm him down after Money in the Bank went off the air.
The Scottish Warrior flew off the handle after CM Punk returned to cost him another chance at winning the World Heavyweight Championship at Money in the Bank.
In addition to suspension, McIntyre was also fined an undisclosed amount of money. The Straight Edge Superstar later requested Adam Pearce to lift The Scottish Psychopath's suspension.
The RAW General Manager agreed to Punk's request and said he would arrange a meeting with a returning McIntyre next week on RAW.
With SummerSlam right around the corner, the stage for the inevitable match between CM Punk and Drew McIntyre seems to be set pending the Chicago native's medical clearance.
