Wade Barrett Announces Contract Extension With WWE
Wade Barrett isn’t going anywhere.
In an interview with BT Sport, Barrett announced that he signed a new contract with WWE as his old two-year deal was expiring.
“I’m about to hit my two-year anniversary. Just signed a new extension to my contract. (My) contract was up. It’s been two years, I think August 2020 is when I came back. Last week, agreed to a new deal. Very happy to be staying around with WWE and continuing my role in NXT. Thrilled to be in that environment. Loving it,” he said.
