Wade Barrett To Miss Wrestlemania XXVIII After Injury Suffered On Last Night’s Raw Supershow

Richard Gray February 21, 2012 WWE News 7 Comments

Wade Barrett was injured during the 10-man battle royal on last night’s WWE Raw Supershow. The injury was to his left arm and occurred when Big Show threw Dolph Ziggler out onto Barrett and R-Truth. Barrett landed awkwardly and injured his arm.

He was in a considerable amount of pain after the spot, shouting expletives and thrashing on the ground.

Road Dogg, who works as a producer backstage in WWE, Tweeted Barrett will miss Wrestlemania XXVIII because of the injury. Below is his Tweet:

Prayers go out to Wade Barrett! A sidelining injury, not a career ender but he won’t get a shot at Mania and that hurts my heart for him!

Feel gutted for Barrett as he has worked hard and I'm sure would have loved to work Mania. I know it's part of the job but freak accidents like this are always a shame. Get better soon Wade and hope to see you topping the card at Mania next year.

Total shame. Wade Barrett has had one of the better years in WWE and very few people deserved a Wrestlemania spot more than he did. I hope they make room for him to at least appear on the show, because he's earned that, at the very least.

I have not been a huge Wade fan after the Cena feud but the last 3 months he has really stepped up his game. Love his hard hitting style and the last half of the smackdown ec was great.

Such a shame. I suppose this gives him a storyline when he comes back as either a courageous babyface or a heel looking for revenge. Or they could just ignore it.

That sucks. Never been the biggest Wade Barrett fan but I hate to see him get hurt and lose a spot at Mania. Get well soon, Wade.

Damn! Not good to have one of your strongest up-and-comers injured right before the biggest PPV of the year. I think they should consider pushing Wade Barrett to the top. Hell, I honestly expected him to make it before Daniel Bryan.
