Former wrestling champion hints at possible return to WWE Raw after 8-year hiatus from competing in the ring.

Wade Barrett, the beloved WWE superstar, has set the wrestling world on fire with a cryptic message teasing a possible return to the ring. Fans have been eagerly waiting for this moment, as the Preston-born wrestler hasn't had a match since 2016. Currently, he can be seen alongside Joe Tessitore on the announce team for Monday Night Raw, after transitioning into a commentary role.

While Barrett has always maintained that he never officially retired from in-ring competition, his recent actions have fueled speculations about a potential comeback. Just last week, he appeared to confront his longtime friend and fellow WWE superstar Drew McIntyre. And now, the official WWE account has shared a video of Barrett's "career highlights", prompting a coy response from the former Intercontinental Champion himself.

"*Career highlights, thus far," Barrett slyly replied, sending fans into a frenzy. Many are interpreting this as a sign that the Englishman is gearing up for a legit return to the ring. One fan even wrote, "Wade, we've been waiting. Come on, don't do this to us." Another excitedly exclaimed, "OMG, it's going to happen! Yes!! LFG!!" It's clear that the possibility of seeing Barrett back in action has fans buzzing with excitement.

Barrett's last in-ring appearance was in an 11-on-one match against The Shield, teaming up with the likes of Rusev, Curtis Axel, Heath Slater, Jinder Mahal, and more. Despite enjoying his role as a commentator, Barrett has always been open to the idea of another match if it made sense. He even revealed that he nearly made a return with the NWA, but due to the pandemic, it didn't materialize.

In an exclusive interview with The Agency, Barrett shared, "I'm fit and healthy, if something came up where, 'Okay, there's a match here, would you be interested in doing it?' If it makes sense to me and I was excited to do it, absolutely, I could." And it seems like the one match that he would love to have is against his dear friend Drew McIntyre on a huge stage.

Barrett expressed, "If I could have one match for the remainder of my days on this planet, and I'm allowed one more match, who would it be? And it would absolutely be me against Drew McIntyre at Wembley Stadium. A sold-out Wembley Stadium, I think that is the pinnacle for British wrestling." It's clear that Barrett has his sights set on a grand return and a dream match that would undoubtedly be a treat for fans.

As we eagerly wait for any updates on Barrett's potential comeback, it's clear that he has been focused on his commentary career in recent years. But, as he has stated, if the right opportunity comes along, he is more than ready to step back into the ring and give fans the match of a lifetime.
