This is on Bleacher Report today; I found it to be an interesting read.

Rarely does an opportunity open up for a wrestler like the one that is about to present itself to Wade Barrett.
The Englishman, who is due to return to the WWE in the next few weeks after recovering from an elbow injury suffered in February, is in a prime position to return straight into a WWE or World Championship feud and then hold the title for many months to come.
These dramatic returns have precedent through history, such as the time Triple H returned from quadriceps surgery to win the Royal Rumble and then the title at WrestleMania XVIII, or earlier this year when Chris Jericho had a far less successful, but just as high profile, return.
Whether in victory or defeat, these returning superstars give the WWE a boost in ratings and help elevate the talent that is already holding the belt as they are seen worthy to be challenged by a legendary figure. One of the big factors behind this influence is that all returning figures that have had such a push are former champions and long term main eventers.
Wade Barrett does not hold the accolades that any of the previous examples hold. In fact, Barrett has not won either the World Heavyweight or WWE title, so giving this character such a meteoric push would be quite surprising in most circumstances, however a once in a lifetime window has opened for him due to influences outside his control.
