Former WWE star Wade Barrett claims Jude Bellingham to be 'legend'

Wade Barrett took to Instagram and posted a story to praise Jude Bellingham. The former WWE Superstar claimed the England star to be a legend following his performance against Slovakia in the ongoing Euro 2024. Despite being under pressure, England managed to win the Round of 16 match against their opponents. Jude did well in the match.

After the match, Barrett wrote "Legend (Jude Bellingham)" and expressed his appreciation for the England star. His play in the middle allowed England to make inroads into the match which seemed to be slipping away from their grab. Wade was happy for the young player who has been doing well for quite some time and hoped to see a lot from him.

During his peak, Wade was a member of Nexus and led it. After its implosion, Wade could not get the required exposure. In the last few years, he has been a part of the commentary panel on Smackdown. At the Clash at the Castle, Wade got a bit overboard and criticized CM Punk for costing Drew McIntyre the world title match in his own backyard.
