YOU WILL RESPECT MY AUTHORITAH!!!!
According to a recent interview given with The Sun, KOTR Wade Barrett has expressed a strong desire to be part of WWE's tag team division.
"I would really like to go into the tag division. It isn't something I've done very much in the past. Pretty much consistently since I've been with WWE since 2010 I've been the bad guy singles wrestler so I would like to do something a little different. I've always feel like I play off people well and I was hoping the run with Stardust might last a little bit longer. But going back, I know there's a few guys that are kind of in the doldrums at the moment career-wise so maybe pairing up with someone new and trying to go in a completely different direction to what I've done before is the next step for me. The guys in that division have done a really good job in the last year or so. New Day especially, they've really spearheaded it in my opinion, so I'd love to be a part of it in some way, shape or form."
It's true that Barrett hasn't had much to do with tag team wrestling in WWE, aside from the odd tag team bout every once in a while, and it could be a fresh idea for him, a way to possibly invigorate him for later on down the line for a return into the singles ranks. As of right now, I just don't see much of a future for him as a singles wrestler right now: I've less than zero interest to see him get a 6th reign with the Intercontinental Championship since arguably no other wrestler in the last 20 years has gotten less out of being Intercontinental Champion, moving him to go after the United States Championship holds a similar level of disinterest I've just had all the interest in Barrett as a mid-card champion crushed out of me through atrocious booking of him as IC champ and, as a result, there's absolutely no feasible way he could be a contender for the WWE WHC at this point.
I'd say the most likely choice, at least in the minds of a lot of people in these forums, would be to team him up with Sheamus. It's been suggested a lot in the past by having them, possibly aligning with Paige, to form some sort of alliance of British wrestlers. Barrett & Sheamus would make a formidable tag team; a couple of big, strong bruiser Brits could be fun to watch. The problem is that Sheamus is Mr. MITB and that means he's all but guaranteed to be WWE WHC; it's not as strong of a guarantee as it once was and interest in Sheamus as being WWE WHC doesn't strike me as being all that high among fans. At any rate, until the MITB briefcase is out of the way, I don't see it.
I would suggest Neville as he & Barrett bring a combination of power and athleticism to the table, but it looks like they're in the midst of a feud right now and doesn't look too likely.
IF Barrett made a transition from singles to tag team wrestler, who would you like to see as his partner?
