Wade Barrett made his “return” to WWE after a long time. Although he is only a color commentator on NXT, his in-ring ambitions still surface from time to time. Recently, he took a jab at Drew McIntyre, and McIntyre has now spoken back.
The former Intercontinental Champion reflected on his WWE career and revealed that he used to bully a young McIntyre. He said, “I used to bully him. Kick the hell out of him. Pour cans of beans over him. He’d be in the corner crying, begging for mercy. As a man, he knows I can destroy him anytime. He knows I can batter him.”
He spoke from personal experience as he and McIntyre used to live together.

Wade Barrett also said he would embarrass McIntyre whenever he is ready.
“This man is a tough, tough man, but the truth is, he knows I can batter him, and humiliate him. So, whenever I feel like I’m ready, it isn’t a question of Drew McIntyre calling me out. Whenever I’m ready, I can step in the ring and take whatever I want from him.”

McIntyre’s current focus is on Randy Orton, who will challenge for the WWE Championship at Hell in a Cell. However, the current WWE Champion would surely be open to welcoming Barrett back into the ring.
The “bullying” angle (as mentioned by Wade Barrett) is a good one and could be made into a great storyline. However, for now, we can do nothing but wait and see how things turn out at Hell in a Cell.
