I could be remembering that entirely wrong, but I'm pretty sure he did it in one of the pretapes before a match a few weeks ago on SmackDown!.

No, you are absolutely right. At the same time, this is sort of a "means to an end" type of match. Not that Barrett ever said that was okay, but I don't think this unit is going to stay together past one night of Barrett asserting himself as a World Title challenger.
And besides, Barrett is a heel -- if he lies it makes him more dislikeable. The man is brilliant on the stick, and he seems pretty in-touch with his character. I think a promo spot on SmackDown! will nicely explain why Barrett is content to lead.
