Not saying he should've won the tournament, but I think they missed an opportunity to build Barrett back up a little bit by jobbing him to Neville.
I think he could've been put up against either Ryback or Owens in his first round match, picked up a surprise victory and then whichever of them he beat costs him in, I dunno the semis, which would set up an IC or US title chase for him beginning at Survivor Series.
You then have Barrett win IC or US gold, say at Fastlane, turn him into a workrate machine, defending his title against all comers, let him run with the IC or US title until SummerSlam, then have him drop it to whoever. Next phase, you put him with the main eventers, and after working in that scene for a bit, maybe he enters the 2017 Rumble, wins and goes on to become the first English WWE WHC in company history @ WM 33.
Just a thought.
