The former Intercontinental Champion Wade Barret recently appeared as special guest on latest edition of After The Bell Podcast and discussed about several topics including about current United States Champion Sheamus.
The Celtic Warrior Sheamus had an extraordinary match at WrestleMania 37 Night Two, in which he successfully defeated Riddle to become the new United States Champion. Wade Barrett was inspired by Sheamus performance at the age of 43 and teases his potential in-ring return.

During the interview, NXT commentator Wade Barret compared Sheamus with a fictional character Benjamin Button with respect. He said that Sheamus older than him but he’s looks great in the ring and he hinted his comeback to the ring with that. Here what Wade Barret said about Sheamus:
“Well, Sheamus is like Benjamin Button. He’s actually older than me and somehow he’s still going as good as ever, if not better. So, hats off to him. I hit 35 and I started getting one foot out of the wrestling ring and into other things at that point, although maybe I’m not done for good, we’ll see, but Sheamus, he goes as hard as ever and good for him. I’m glad he’s done knocking about in the mix of the upper echelon of WWE.”

The former King of the Ring Wade Barret also stated that it all comes down to the ‘payday’ but currently he’s enjoying his role in NXT.
“I’m all about the big paydays, Mr. Joseph. It would not take much to remove me from the seat next to you and get back in the ring. I will say, I’m very much enjoying my job with NXT, but I have always made sure there is at least a little bit left in the tank.”
