Former WWE star Wade Barrett has revealed that he really had it out with the company’s talent relations on his last day on the roster.

Barrett - actually his ring name, the name on his birth certificate should read Stuart Alexander Bennett – spent six years with the WWE, having previously competed for the company during stints in Ohio Valley Wrestling and Florida Championship Wrestling.

His role as the leader of The Nexus saw him begin to establish himself in the WWE, but things would eventually lead south and, in 2016, Bennett walked away from the promotion quite literally, as he’d go on to describe on Chris Jericho’s Talk is Jericho podcast.

The 37-year-old opened up on his issues with the WWE, also claiming that he was often left burnt out from being on the road too often. Despite taking matters up with creative and talent relations, hardly anything changed and Barrett ultimately found himself earning his keep as a mid-card competitor.

"I went into the building that day and I knew I was kind of tying up loose ends at this point and there was this one big issue that I'd kind of been banging heads with talent relations about for a long time and it kind of came to a head there that day," he said, detailing what transpired during his final moments in the WWE.

“So we get there at 2 o'clock or whatever it is, and around about three or four o'clock I'm having this big kind of blow up with talent relations there, which looking back it was all really silly, but we have this blow up, I get really angry, they get really angry. I'm not on the show anyway, so at that point, I'm like, 'do you know what? I'm just going to grab my bags and go home. I'm done’.”

Bennett would also go on to explain, rather hilariously, how podcast host Jericho was actually the person who wished him his final goodbye – with a not-so-friendly gesture.

“So I get to the top of the ramp and just as I'm about to burst out into freedom, and light, and this whole new world that might be ahead of me, a car pulls across in front of me and stops me in my tracks,” he continued. “I'm like, 'who the f--k is this?'”

“I look up and it's [Jericho] and [Jericho is] turning up at the building at four [o'clock]. And I've got a face like thunder and I look at [Jericho], we lock eyes [Jericho] flip[s] me the bird, and [Jericho] kept driving down the tunnel.

“That was my big goodbye to the WWE, getting flipped off by the guy who brought me in storyline-wise and sent me off into the sunset. Looking back that actually makes me laugh."

The former WWE prodigy has since taken up a career as an actor and stars in UK film Vengeance, set to hit theatres in the US this fall. He will also host season three of Netflix series Ultimate Beastmaster alongside another ex-wrestler in CM Punk.

While his departure from the WWE was an unfortunate one – as he really did seem set for stardom as a ring competitor – Bennett has found another avenue to display another talent and could possibly make a return in the future, having previously teased a comeback ahead of this year’s Royal Rumble.
