Former WWE competitor and current WWE SmackDown commentator Wade Barrett spoke with The Daily Star on a number of topics such as how he is not saying he will be calling the action on WWE SmackDown for 10 years or so, but he and Michael Cole will be calling the action on the blue brand for the foreseeable future.
Wade Barrett said:
“It’s as permanent as you can ever be in a role in WWE! Historically, things have always been switched around and teams have been moved from here to there, and I’m not saying I’m going to be in the SmackDown hot seat for the next ten years or anything like that. But in terms of the foreseeable, it’s going to be me and (Michael) Cole going forward.”
Wade Barrett also spoke about how Pat McAfee has a lot on his plate right now and how Pat will always be a friend of the WWE, but he will not be calling the action on WWE SmackDown for the time being.
Wade Barrett said:
“Pat McAfee is always going to be a friend of WWE. He’s an incredibly talented guy and we’re all fans of his too, but he has a lot on his plate. I am sure he’ll come in and out from time to time and be involved in various roles but, as far as I’m aware, he’s not going to be sat in the SmackDown hot seat for now at least.”
