Wade Barrett showed up to WWE Survivor Series with a black jacket and black turtleneck.
According to Barrett, he went with the black fit to honor Gunther and Ludwig Kaiser, who often wear black outfits.
"I want to make this as my application to join Imperium. Do you think I can make the grade?" Barrett asked Gunther, who joined them on the WWE Survivor Series post-show.
Gunther replied, "We've talked about that before, around here. Ludwig and I have the assumption that Wade would be a very fitting member."
Barrett commented, "I like the answer. I'll be honest, 15 years ago, I might have stood a chance. I think I'm a little old in the tooth now."
Gunther joked, "No, age is just a number. It's what's in the heart."
"We need to talk. A couple of beers," said Barrett.
Barrett is currently the lead color commentator on WWE Raw. He hasn't wrestled since 2016.
