Wade Barrett worked the commentary booth for NXT this week and was welcomed back to the company by one of his former Nexus stablemates. The former Husky Harris, now known as Bray Wyatt, asked Barrett if he was returning to the company for the once-rumored Nexus reunion.
Barrett posted a thank-you on Twitter to those who had congratulated him on his NXT commentary role and Wyatt appeared in the replies section.
Are you here for that Nexus reunion thing?

Yowie wowie, brother. Only if I’m still allowed to be the leader. #WeAreOne
