8 Wrestling Rumours & Reactions (July 21): WWE Targeting ROH?
4. Another Name Change For Barrett
Rumour: From here out, WWE has dropped "Wade" from any relation to King Barrett.
Reaction: Formerly known as "Bad News Barrett" and now "King Barrett", there is simply no room for Wade. It's not a huge surprise as WWE has shorten both Cesaro and Big E's name in the past. They have also preferred to do this with nearly all of the newer women in NXT. With the way Barrett has been booked lately, they might as well call him "Mud".
