Wade Barrett hasn't wrestled since 2016, but he's found a role as the lead color commentator on WWE Raw alongside Joe Tessitore.
Barrett has been an announcer in WWE since 2020. JBL is a man who knows about successfully transitioning from wrestler to announcer as he joined the commentary booth in 2006 after his in-ring run.
Speaking on Huge Pop, JBL was asked about Barrett and his potential return to the ring.
"He's still young. He was a good worker. Yeah, I think he probably will. If I were him, do it. You have all of your life to do commentary. You don't have all your life to get into the ring. If I'm him, if you still have the urge, just try it. If it doesn't work out, so what, go back to commentary. If it does, you've got something, and then go back to commentary," said JBL.
