WWE News: Update on Wade Barrett's Return; Shawn Michaels to Wrestle Again?

In news that is sure to delight many a WWE fan, it seems Wade Barrett has now completely recovered from the elbow injury that has kept him sidelined since February.

WWE.co.jp have revealed that the British superstar is due to return to action on am upcoming house show held in Tokyo, Japan next week (h/t Wrestlinginc.com).

During his time spent on the sidelines, Barrett also managed to film a supporting role in Dead Man Down, a WWE Studios film currently in production.

The former bare-knuckle boxer joined the company after a tryout in 2006, before being put through the development territories and NXT.

His recent injury was sustained on a live episode or Monday Night Raw when fellow superstar Dolph Ziggler was thrown out of the ring, landing on Barrett and partially dislocating his elbow.

The date for his return to television is not yet known.

In other news, WWE legend Shawn Michaels has conducted an interview with The Miami Herald, in which he reveals that a return to the ring is not impossible (h/t Wrestlinginc.com).

"Obviously, I want to do things that will help," he said.

"It would depend on what it was. I am not as young as I once was. Do I think about that stuff? Yeah. It's one of those things that I know that I can do it."

Whilst not ruling out a sensational return, Michaels revealed that it was not something that he would be desperate to do.

The same cannot be said, however, for fans of the Heartbreak Kid.
