Is there a way to perhaps have Nexus return and make it still epic? The only problem I see at the moment is Skip being completely revamped into Ryback, but let's say he wasn't there for a minute, could it work? Would you mark? For example, a big main event match with Taker vs X at Summerslam and 6-7 guys in blacked out attire (IE, you can't see their faces etc) would beat them down and spoil the end of the PPV.

No explanation is given on RAW the next day, but you see them in the "cheap seats" staring towards the ring, again, blacked out attire on, no idea who they are. You can make a viral video on how they appear at WWE press conferences at the back of the rooms etc. Then finally Wade Barrett reveals Nexus have returned with extra fire power and are badder than ever. Just thought of this, I'm not sure of it myself yet. Would you mark? Or would you want it done differently?

Sadly Nexus was dead and buried the night Cena buried Barrett with those chairs. Barrett should have been the world champ at that point, not Miz, and Barrett should have faced Cena at Mania.

As Dolph said. Nexus is dead and buried. Would be a cool way to debut the next big stable though.

I agree with Stop. Not a good idea for Nexus, as doing the same thing again would be lame in my opinion, plus, they were buried and the idea wasn't as hot as it was when it first began. But it's a great way to debut another stable.

Nope, it happened and it ended. No need to re-do it.

If Barrett, Skip, Slater, and Bryan came out dressed in Nexus t-shirts and beat the shit out of Cena I'd mark

I'll mark out definitely. I loved the storyline. I loved so much I jumped ship from Orton to Nexus.

The group was rrrreeeeeaaaalllyyyyy wasted, both as a group and as individual wrestlers, IMO.

Your idea's good.

Barrett is past this by now, and Otunga's fine in his current jobber (sorry Hoss) role.

Maybe they can have McGillicutty lead a Nexus-esque stable, with Slater and a few others (Hawkins and Reks? Maybe some FCW guys?) in the stable. Since they're already good with Otunga, they can be good with Johnny. A Punk vs Nexus storyline would be pretty cool, even though nobody really remembers Punk running Nexus since the faction was so damned irrelevant then.
