WWE Superstar and former Intercontinental Champion Bad News Barrett was recently in Bangalore, India in order to promote the upcoming “WWE 2K15” video game, which recently changed its release date on the new-gen consoles. While on the promotional tour, Barrett sat down with SportsKeeda.com to discuss his shoulder injury and other topics in regards to WWE.
Barrett, who has been out of action since late June of 2014 due to a separated shoulder, revealed that he will be returning to in-ring action beginning in December of this year:
“Yes, I have been out for a while. I’m going through my recovery phase right now. It has been great, I’m feeling great. I will be back probably by December, with WWE doing their European tour this winter.”
Additionally, “BNB” spoke about the recovery process, and how he will be aiming to reclaim his Intercontinental Championship. Barrett had to vacate his title at “Battleground” due to his injury status:
“It has been tough since you have to start from scratch, you have to regain your strength. I have been injured before, (pointing towards his scars) and it is just part of the game.”
“Definitely. Since I didn’t really lose the title, and was stripped off from it. I hope I’ll come back and beat him up, cos’ nobody likes the Miz. Everyone wants to beat Miz up. But, Dolph has it now, Dolph Ziggler. He is another guy who I think is a very talented performer; had some good matches with him in the past. And, if he is still the champion when I come back, I’ll go straight for him. I enjoy wrestling him, but I want my title back.”
Bad News Barrett also discussed who his favorite pal backstage in WWE is:
“The guy I hang out mostly [with] is probably Ryback. He is a very entertaining guy, probably the weirdest guy I’ve ever met.”
