WWE Main Event 10/31/12: Wade Barrett vs Tyson Kidd

WWE Main Event’s second bout on Halloween night featured Wade Barrett battling the agile Tyson Kidd. Since returning from injury, Barrett has set out to prove that he is the toughest Superstar in WWE. The Bare-Knuckle Brawler’s challenge on WWE Main Event wasn’t necessarily an easy one. Kidd’s agility is one of his greatest strengths and as the last graduate of the Hart Dungeon; he knows the meaning of resilience.

However, Halloween turned out not to be Tyson Kidd’s night. Barrett quickly and almost effortlessly dominated the agile competitor. Barrett’s physical style of competition kept Kidd grounded and constantly on the defensive. The last graduate of the Hart Dungeon was able to formulate some offense, but Barrett’s in-your-face style was too much to handle. Although Kidd put up a good fight, he was left with nothing but two Souvenir Elbows as the British Superstar claimed victory.

Following the contest, Barrett had harsh words for former World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus, prompting The Celtic Warrior to confront his detractor. The two Superstars exchanged insults before Sheamus challenged Barrett next week on WWE Main Event from the United Kingdom! --wwe.com

WWE Raw 9/24/12: Wade Barrett vs Tyson Kidd

It would seem that, with his eclectic, unpredictable move set and pre-dispostion for upset victories, that Tyson Kidd might be the one to derail the resurgent Barrett Barrage. But Wade Barrett's streak of dominance since his return from injury continued, as the Calgary high-flyer felt the wrath of the Manchester brawler's new found brutality.

To his credit, Kidd did not go quietly into the three-count, unleashing a series of eye-popping maneuvers that nearly stymied the Barrett Barrage and threatened to stop it before it could even begin. But Barrett was able to turn the tide back with just a few well-placed strikes, using his bare-knuckle fundamentals to stun the Hart Dungeon graduate before felling him with his "Winds of Change" sidewalk slam and finally sealing the contest with his signature charging elbow, the Souvenir. It's safe to say the WWE Universe won't be forgetting Barrett's power anytime soon.
