Stuart Alexander Bennett (born 10 August 1980) is an English professional wrestling commentator, actor, and retired professional wrestler. He is currently signed to WWE, where he performs under the ring name Wade Barrett as a colour commentator on the SmackDown brand.

Barrett won the

Justin Gabriel as well as Ezekiel Jackson. After they disbanded, he would go on to become a five-time Intercontinental Champion
.

In 2013, Barrett's ring name was amended to Bad News Barrett and he adopted the character of someone who took immense pleasure in delivering bad news. Upon winning the 2015 King of the Ring tournament, his ring name was changed to King Barrett and he began portraying an arrogant royal character. He notably portrayed a villain for his entire WWE career, regardless of the other changes made to his character.[3] He left WWE in 2016 and has not wrestled since, though he has appeared in non-wrestling roles on the international independent circuit, such as a commentator for World of Sport Wrestling and a general manager for Defiant Wrestling under his real name. He returned to WWE as a commentator for NXT in 2020.

Bennett made his acting debut in the action film Dead Man Down (2013) and has since starred in action films such as Eliminators (2016), I Am Vengeance (2018), and I Am Vengeance: Retaliation (2020).

Early life

Stuart Alexander Bennett[4][5] was born in Penwortham on 10 August 1980.[4][6] His mother was a social worker, while his father was an accountant.[7] He has an older brother who manages a supermarket.[7] He grew up in nearby Preston,[2] then moved to Wales with his family at the age of six.[8][9] Despite spending much of his childhood in Wales and admitting that he does not remember anything about Preston, he does not consider Wales his home and has never lived in one place for more than nine years.[7] He was inspired to become a professional wrestler by his idol Davey Boy Smith, and named the WWF Intercontinental Championship match in the main event of SummerSlam 1992 between Smith and his other childhood hero Bret Hart as his favourite match of all time.[10][11] He earned a degree in marine biology from the University of Liverpool,[8] after which he went to work in a science lab and as a recruitment consultant while training to become a wrestler.[8][9]

While living in Liverpool in his early 20s, Bennett became a champion bare-knuckle boxer who would fight in various locations throughout Europe.[11][12][13][14] He competed in a match in Budapest dubbed "The Battle of Buda" by the bare-knuckle underworld, in which he defeated a reputable opponent for a substantial cash prize.[15] Later, while walking through an alleyway in search of a taxi to the airport, he was stabbed with an eight-inch knife by someone who attempted to steal the money; he has refused to discuss certain details for legal reasons, but admitted that he seriously injured his attacker and escaped with the money despite significant blood loss. The attack left him with a 12-inch scar that stretches from his upper back to halfway down his right arm,[15] and the punches he took during his bare-knuckle career left him with a disfigured nose,[11] but he has expressed no regret over that period of his life.[15] He incorporated his bare-knuckle career into his WWE gimmick at the request of Dusty Rhodes,[11] being introduced to the WWE audience as a bare-knuckle champion who had fought on the streets of Europe.[16] His Wasteland move is named after the site of many of his fights.[13]

Eddie Colón and Eric Pérez) to win the FCW Florida Tag Team Championship.[19] They lost the titles back to the Nightmares at FCW's first TV taping on 17 July.[6][19] The team broke up after the loss, and Sanders began wrestling under his real name before changing it to Lawrence Knight at 9 October FCW television taping. On 19 February 2009, Knight announced that he was the new FCW commentator, alongside Dusty Rhodes.[4][20] He became colour commentator due to an injury, in which he tore his Latissimus dorsi muscle and required surgery.[21] In August 2009, Bennett was renamed yet again to Wade Barrett, partially named for Wade Dooley.[6][8] He described the character of Barrett as being an extension of his "dark side".[8] He returned to in-ring competition in FCW in December 2009.[4]

The Nexus and The Corre (2010–2011)

The group of rookies continued their path of disrupting main events, as they attacked both Cena and McMahon, who had been acting as the referee on 21 June 2010 edition of Raw.[31] On 5 July 2010 edition of Raw, the group was named The Nexus.[32] That same week, Barrett was absent from Raw as his work visa had expired and he had to return to the United Kingdom to apply for a new one.[33] With his visa situation cleared up, Barrett returned the following week.[34]

On 12 July 2010 edition of Raw, the Nexus (who were without

Darren Young due to being injured in an attack by Cena the previous week) competed in their first match together and defeated Cena in a 6–on–1 handicap match after Gabriel hit Cena with the 450° splash.[35] The following week, Barrett made his singles match debut on Raw by defeating Mark Henry.[36] The Nexus continued to feud with Cena and the Raw roster, resulting in a seven-on-seven elimination tag team match at SummerSlam. Barrett was the final member of the Nexus but submitted to Cena, causing the Nexus to lose the match.[37] After Young was exiled from the group for losing a match to Cena the night after SummerSlam and Skip Sheffield was injured at a live event in Hawaii two nights later, the Nexus faced Cena, Edge, Randy Orton, Sheamus and Jericho in a five-on-five elimination match on 30 August 2010 edition of Raw, which Barrett won by pinning Orton.[38]

Barrett received his guaranteed championship match from winning NXT at

TLC: Tables, Ladders and Chairs pay-per-view, which Cena won.[48]

Barrett made his first appearance since the TLC pay-per-view on 3 January 2011 edition of Raw, where he confronted CM Punk, who had taken over the leadership of the Nexus in his absence. Punk gave Barrett the opportunity to regain the leadership, stating that if he won a triple threat steel cage match involving Orton and Sheamus to determine the number one contender for The Miz's WWE Championship, Punk would not only give up the leadership, but work for Barrett's Nexus. However, during the match, Punk came down to ringside, attacked Barrett as he was about to win and took off Barrett's Nexus armband, symbolically removing him from the Nexus, resulting in Barrett losing the match.[49] At the television tapings of 10 January 2011 edition of SmackDown the next day, Barrett made his first SmackDown appearance since 1 October, this time by attacking Big Show.[50] The following week, he was joined by Ezekiel Jackson and his former Nexus stablemates Gabriel and Slater, who had left the group the previous Monday.[51][52] They named themselves The Corre.[53] Barrett later qualified for the Elimination Chamber match for the World Heavyweight Championship, but came up short after being the first man eliminated by Big Show.[54]

At the event, Gabriel and Slater attacked Jackson during the match, resulting in a disqualification, but Barrett retained the title as a title cannot change hands via disqualification.[61][62] He then defended his Intercontinental title against Jackson again on 3 June 2011 edition of SmackDown. During this match, Jackson threw Barrett out of the ring, resulting in a countout, but once again, Barrett retained the title as a title cannot change hands via countout. Barrett then instructed The Corre to attack Jackson, but abandoned Gabriel and Slater, whom Jackson fended off.[63] The following week, The Corre dissolved after Barrett, fleeing from Jackson, walked out on Gabriel and Slater in a six-man tag team match against Jackson and The Usos, causing them to lose the match.[64] At Capitol Punishment, Barrett lost the Intercontinental Championship to Jackson,[65] and failed to win his rematch for the title on 24 June episode of SmackDown.[66] On 1 July episode of SmackDown, Barrett was announced to be one of the participants for the SmackDown Money in the Bank match at the Money in the Bank pay-per-view, facing Heath Slater, Justin Gabriel, Kane, Sin Cara, Daniel Bryan, Cody Rhodes and Sheamus. The match was won by Daniel Bryan,[67] sparking a rivalry between the two. At SummerSlam, Barrett defeated Bryan in a singles match.[68] He then had a short feud with Sheamus, where he lost on three occasions.[69]

Barrett Barrage (2011–2012)

Barrett's winning streak was broken on the 14 November episode of Raw, when he was defeated by Orton via disqualification after Team Barrett attacked Orton.

After an absence from WWE television due to legitimate work visa issues,[119] he returned on 2 December 2013 episode of Raw as Bad News Barrett, a persona he had previously assumed on The JBL and Cole Show, but was still called Wade on occasion by commentators and backstage interviewers.[120]

BNB after a match in April 2014

Barrett made his in-ring return on 7 April 2014 Raw, defeating

Jack Swagger, so he was pulled from the pay-per-view.[121] Barrett's injury required surgery, ruling him out for months, thus WWE made the move to vacate the Intercontinental Championship on 30 June.[122]

"... I was kinda told by the powers that be that I had to knock it on the head for a while as too many people were joining in and cheering me for it so maybe we will bring it back after Wrestlemania but for now I have to be a bit quieter".

In a March 2015 interview, Barrett explained why his character stopped delivering 'bad news'[123]

Barrett returned onscreen in November at the pre-show of

Neville in a losing effort on the pre-show.[131]

At WrestleMania, Barrett's stablemates defeated The New Day after interference from Barrett himself.[136] On 4 April episode of Raw, Barrett and Sheamus challenged the New Day for the tag titles, but lost. After the match, the League of Nations blamed Barrett for being the "weak link" and attacked him, ejecting him from the group.[137] This was his last appearance for WWE.[138]

On 6 May, WWE announced that Bennett had been released.[139] Following his release, Bennett stated that he chose not to sign a new contract with WWE in August 2015, his contract was scheduled to end in June 2016, but WWE had agreed to an early release from his contract. He asked for his release because he was burnt out creatively and was sick of the crazy schedule of the WWE.[140] Bennett then took a hiatus from wrestling altogether in order to focus on his acting career, but said he would return to wrestling when he felt the time was right.[141]

Independent circuit (2017–2020)
