8 Wrestling Rumours & Reactions: Bad News Barrett Returning?
3. Bad News Barrett Coming Back?
Rumour: At this past week's WWE Main Event tapings, Wade Barrett used his "Bad News" gimmick in a backstage segment. Nothing official has marked this change, but he could be dropping the "King" gimmick in the near future.
Reaction: "King" Barrett has been basically a disaster since winning the King of the Ring tournament. He was never given any type of push; winning and losing in feuds against Neville and R-Truth. The original incarnation of "Bad News" was the best, but for whatever reason it was stripped down to basically nothing towards the end. Hopefully WWE just lets him run wild with the gavel since that's what fans want to see anyways.
