Former Champion details if Triple H has asked him to make his WWE in-ring return or not

Triple H has made many changes as WWE's Head of Creative. Retired WWE star turned commentator was recently questioned if Triple H and the company management had asked him to wrestle again. Barrett has not wrestled in any official matches since May 2016 , and since then, the Englishman has chosen to stay away from in-ring action to focus on the media side of the business. However, at 42 years old and still, in great shape, his fans are hopeful that he may return to the ring again someday. During a recent interview on the podcast, the former Intercontinental Champion was asked if Triple or WWE management had spoken to him about making a return. "Yeah nothing at all, I was quite adamant when I came back and signed my original deal that I didn’t wanna be taking bumps, I didn’t wanna be doing anything other than the commentary. I think if I pulled somebody aside and said to Triple H or Shawn Michaels ‘Hey I would be interested in doing that’, I think they would be receptive to hearing me out but it’s not something I’ve done, It’s not something they’ve approached me with, I’m quite happy with that for now anyway." From 20:34 to 20:56 Wade Barrett has been in and out of WWE for over 10 years now, and his biggest and most successful run in the company came in 2010 when he and a group of renegade stars ran roughshod over the company as The Nexus.
