Barrett is too injury prone at this point. The chance to make Barrett a star came and with the nexus angle. They had a chance to legitimately elevate him and give him the belt and have it be believable. He was over. His promos were great. Then the nexus fell to Cena, Barrett was replaced as its leader, went to Smackdown to start the Corre, and entered mid card purgatory.
He's also gotten the old stop start push too. First, the street tough bare knuckle fighter that suddenly became chicken shit for no reason, then the Bad News gimmick, which got pretty over. Some of that is injuries but the other is WWE not knowing how to keep midcard talent strong nor relevant. Think Barrett's time has come and gone. He's forever a midcard as far as I'm concerned. Shame.
