5 former superstars WWE should bring back for the Royal Rumble

Royal Rumble
We never know who will show up!

#4 Wade Barrett

Wade Barrett
The Bare Knuckle Brawler deserves to have another run in the WWE

When Wade Barrett won the first season of NXT and earned himself a shot at the WWE Championship, many of us thought we will finally be seeing the first ever British born WWE Champion. To be honest, he had all it takes to be a main event worthy player in the WWE.

When he debuted in the main roster as the leader of the notorious faction, "The Nexus", he drew something that the current heels are failing to draw, and that is legitimate heat from the fans. He was a natural heel and WWE could've capitalized on the opportunity and made Barrett as the WWE Champion. But instead, Wade was made to float around the mid-card status until he was released in June 2016.

WWE can make up for its previous errors by having Barrett return to the company in the Royal Rumble. We can already hear the Philly crowd going nuts if Barrett makes his way out the ramp when the timer stops counting.
