WWE.com's 10 Superstars to watch out for in 2013

Wade Barrett

Arguably, 2012 was something of a lost year for the brawling Brit, whose promising ascent through the ranks of WWE was cut short in February following a severe injury to his elbow. Following a lengthy recovery process (and, from what we can surmise, some soul-searching across various dingy alleys in Old Blighty), The Barrett Barrage resumed with newfound ferocity and little preamble this past fall, and it hasn’t stopped rolling since. A series of gruesome contests against Sheamus proved Barrett still packs a punch, and the Englishman closed out his 2012 in the most dominant fashion possible: By avenging a loss to Kofi Kingston at WWE TLC and taking The Dreadlocked Dynamo's Intercontinental Championship for the second time at the Dec. 29 Raw taping in Washington, D.C.
