Nine months after calling out Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney on Twitter,
King Barrett finally came face
to face with the prolific
footballer at Raw in
Manchester, United Kingdom. The showdown didn’t go in
the royal brawler’s favor,
though.
Barrett approached Rooney,
seated with his son in the
front row, at ringside. Barrett
ripped Man U’s chances at
winning the Barclays Premier League while touting his hometown Preston North End
F.C.
When Barrett said he didn’t
want to embarrass the
captain in front of his son —
adding that he “experiences that every time [Rooney] steps on a football pitch” —
he crossed the line. Barrett
and Rooney continued to
trade verbal jabs at ringside,
but the 2015 King of the Ring winner clearly
underestimated Rooney, who
shut up Barrett with a slap. Download Video Below
