After a few weeks away from WWE television, commentator Wade Barrett is scheduled to be back on duty this weekend in Indianapolis. According to a new report from PWInsider.com, Barrett is listed internally for the broadcast team for the inaugural Wrestlepalooza premium live event.
Barrett's absence, which he had taken at his own request, led to a wave of speculation regarding his status with the company following a recent commentary team shakeup on "SmackDown." Barrett himself previously addressed the rumors surrounding his time off, refuting any suggestion that he had been removed from his position.
