WADE BARRETT has revealed he would fight Roy Keane to “shut him up once and for all”.
The British former WWE star has insisted that he would knock the Irishman’s “teeth out” after never forgetting the “smack” Keane once said about him.

Barrett, 43, was referring to the incident when he was slapped by former Manchester United star Wayne Rooney during a WWE show in Manchester back in 2015.
Rooney attended the show and slapped Barrett and he was later criticised for going to the event by Keane who claimed that the striker got “no benefit” from going.
Keane launched his rant at Rooney following United’s 0-0 draw against PSV Eindhoven and questioned why he was “getting involved in that nonsense”.
And Barrett has not forgotten the comments from Keane and has suggested that he would not last in the WWE ring as he would be in there with “real men”.
He told talkSPORT: “If it’s not Wayne Rooney, I think the entirety of the UK and Ireland would really appreciate somebody shutting up Roy Keane once and for all.
“He talked a little smack once upon a time about me, he’s probably forgotten about it, but I haven’t.
“He actually ridiculed WWE and he mocked the fact that Wayne Rooney was having fun on his day off at WWE instead of focusing and being a miserable git…on Manchester United and training with them and getting his goals up at Man United, whatever he was saying.
“Listen, [if] Roy Keane wants a piece of me I would knock his teeth out in a heartbeat. I probably have 100 pounds on Roy Keane.

“I know he was the tough guy on the pitch.
“It’s a very different world when you step into a WWE ring and you’re in there with real men like Wade Barrett.
“I would whoop him, I would send him back to Old Trafford, I would send him back to Ireland, wherever he wants to get sent.
“But trust me, I think that will be a spectacle for the ages, WrestleMania in the UK, of me dropping Roy Keane in about five, maybe six seconds.”
Since retiring from wrestling, Barrett has gone into commentary on the RAW brand.
