Biography
Wade Barrett, a tall, well-built Brit, brings a strong bareknuckle fighting background to WWE. Expect plenty of bullying when this brawler gets inside the ring. Confident and eloquent, Barrett isn’t afraid to speak whatever’s on his mind. He’s notably obsessed with supremacy and will do anything in order to achieve it.
As the winner of NXT season one, Wade Barrett earned a championship opportunity at a pay-per-view event of his choosing under the tutelage of his WWE Pro, Chris Jericho. However, even with his success and the enormous opportunity before him, he banded together with his fellow season one Rookies and formed The Nexus – arguably one of the most nerfariously impactful factions in sports-entertainment history. As the group’s spokesman, Barrett led the charge in their campaign for respect and dominance on Raw, which left a huddled mass of top WWE Superstars (including John Cena), WWE Legends and even WWE Chairman Mr. McMahon in its path of destined destruction.
Under Barrett’s rule, the “N”-armbanded corps tyrannically gripped the squared circle, thrashing the ranks of the roster while expanding its own, none more prominent than Cena himself. By the Englishman’s hand, the Cenation was absorbed by The Nexus and the group’s greatest enemy became its largest asset. Though Cena led to the unraveling of the Barrett-led band and opened the door for a “new” Nexus under CM Punk, the Slammy Award winning season one NXT Rookie’s first year in WWE earned him the recognition he sought to achieve in the ring.
Barrett, who nearly totally usurped WWE with a self-designed malicious strategy, still had even greater conquests ahead. On the Jan. 21, 2011 edition of SmackDown, Barrett, Justin Gabriel, Ezekiel Jackson and Heath Slater came before the WWE Universe to declare themselves The Corre. Barrett made it clear that unlike The Nexus, all four members of The Corre would be equals. They pledged to take SmackDown places it had never gone before.
