As seen during this week’s WWE NXT broadcast, Wade Barrett made his return to do commentary in place of Mauro Ranallo, who is back at home in Canada tending to a “family issue.” Due to WWE taping two episodes (this week & next week) of NXT on Wednesday, Barrett will be returning next week to call the show and the Fatal Four-Way Iron Man Match for the NXT Championship between Tommaso Ciampa, Johnny Gargano, Finn Balor and Adam Cole.
