Wade Barrett was a part of the very first batch of NXT. He signed with WWE as a wrestler in 2006. He made his main roster debut as a leader of Nexus. 

Over the years, Barrett went through several gimmicks. One of the most renowned ones was his “Bad New Barrett” gimmick. 

Wade left the promotion back in 2016 and worked in several different promotions. He finally returned home in August 2020 as an announcer. Initially, it was a one-time appearance that converted to a full-time role.
