But, the British star Wade Barrett is not impressed with the booking decisions and believes he should have been the top tier star.
Barrett spoke to WWE India, and expressed his feelings about Drew McIntyre being the first WWE Champion from the UK:
“A lot of people got very excited when he became the first-ever British WWE Champion. For me, it is an absolute disgrace. It is an outrage. Everybody on the planet knows it should have been me quite clearly. I had plenty of opportunities that were taken away from me, but ultimately, it’s not me I feel bad for.I’m not worried about me. I’m worried about the fans, the Great British fans of WWE.
Barrett said that he thinks the fans have been cheated because they deserved better and it should have been him, the first WWE Champion from the UK. He said:
“For years and years, they’ve wanted their first ever WWE Champion from the UK and for years they dreamed ‘Who will this be? Let’s just hope it’s somebody charismatic, somebody handsome, somebody heroic, and they’ve ended up with Drew bloody McIntyre. If it had been Wade Barrett, they would have got everything they ever wanted. So it’s really them who lost out. It’s the fans who were cheated. So clearly there should be protests, there should be riots, there should be bedlam and it’s an absolute disgrace that Drew McIntyre will forever be the first ever WWE Champion from The Great Britain.”
They have called out each other on multiple occasions and who knows they could get in the squared circle for a match in the future. As of now, Barrett will continue the commentary in NXT, while McIntyre is eyeing to reclaim his WWE title from Bobby Lashley at Sunday’s Hell In A Cell pay-per-view.
