King Barrett brought his “Bad News” gimmick back to WWE TV last night during a backstage segment taped for this week’s WWE Main Event.

No word yet on whether or not the gimmick is returning for good, but it has been rumored for sometime that Barrett would be dropping the King gimmick and potentially resurrecting the Bad News Barrett name. As noted, there is apparently a mandate in WWE that no one is to refer to Barrett as “Wade.”
