Wade Barrett and Alicia Fox remained friends after breaking up.
According to the source, Wade Barrett and Nexus could return to the WWE.
Highlights
- Various sources claimed that Wade Barrett and Nexus might return to WWE.
- Wade Barrett is not married but has dated professional wrestler Alicia Fox.
- Alicia is married to a musician, Michael Fitzgerald, in October 2024.
WWE Wrestlemania 41 is just a few months away, and some massive surprises are expected on the Road to the Grandest Stage of Them All.
While many dreams could come true this year, a chance of Nexus reuniting for a match against the Wyatt Sicks at the Showcase of the Immortals could turn things around.
Not many Nexus stars are present in the company lately. Wade Barrett and CM Punk could join forces to tease the return of the legendary faction.
During a recent interview with Lucha Libre Online, Heath Slater addressed the possibility.
He stated that it could happen sometime in the future, with the other faction members, including Justin Gabriel, Tarver, and himself, just waiting for Triple H to make the call.
With the possibility of a reunion, Nexus joining forces to take down the Wyatt Sicks seems a massive idea.
The Wyatt Sicks have dominated over several stars on RAW and have now moved to SmackDown.
A potential feud against Nexus could enhance their position on the roster and add some entertaining future storyline.
Wade Barrett Is Not Married But Was Romantically Linked With Alicia Fox
British-American former professional wrestler Wade Barrett, 44, is living a single life without a wife.
However, he was in a relationship with American professional wrestler Victoria Elizabeth Crawford, 38, also known by her stage name, Alicia Fox.
Alicia and Wade met in 2010 while working at WWE. They became great friends and fell in love, but they officially broke up in 2012.
For Alicia Fox, Barrett was her first love. This was revealed during a segment on the reality show Total Divas in 2016 when Alicia went up to Barrett.
She revealed that she felt uncomfortable around his presence and seemingly had feelings left for him then.
However, the two consoled each other after Wade Barrett told her he and Alicia were better off as friends, as the duo wanted separate things.
While the exact reason for their separation was unclear, Alicia appeared on Lillian Garcia’s Chasing Glory podcast to reveal further details regarding her breakup with Wade Barrett.
She stated that her mother was dealing with a lot of problems, including being homeless, at the time of her two-year relationship with Wade.
Alicia claimed she could not discuss her emotional issues with the former WWE Intercontinental champion as he was not emotional. She added,
“My mom was on the street for like three years. It was insane. That was horrible. That was horrible because for me I knew that she was giving me a lot of stress and anxiety that I was bringing to work…I couldn’t even talk to Stu [Wade Barrett] about it. I love Stu to death, but he was not the kind of relationship partner that I felt comfortable to talk about where I was emotionally and that was something I felt like, ‘Well, maybe I’m not worthy, maybe I shouldn’t, maybe these emotions aren’t right.'”
Alicia Fox
Alicia’s full-time tenure ended with WWE in 2019, and she made surprise appearances even after that.
While Wade’s in-ring WWE career ended in 2016, and later returned to the company as a commentator in 2020.
Alicia and Wade remain great friends today. They have found happiness in their respective lives and continue to have a great deal of mutual respect.
In October 2022, Alicia announced her engagement to musician Michael Fitzgerald and tied the knot in October 2024.
