AEW confirmed.

 

[Hoss]

That boy Stu don't need WWE's shit.

 

[Showstopper]

Thanks, John Cena.

[Swamps]

Good for him. They would probably have him jobbing in the opening card to Mantaur 2.0.

 

[Dale]

He's a prime example of someone who should have made it to the top of card.

Not gonna lie though, a new Nexus documentary could have been pretty good with all the what if's and shit.

This would only have gotten buys from me if Michael Tarver showed up

 

[Jimmy King]

Who would have thought that the only existing member left still employed by WWE would be David Otunga?

I don’t know if Daniel Bryan counts, he was part of the initial attack but then he got fired shortly after that and was never part of the group when they were dubbed Nexus. I believe he was written off storyline wise as feeling bad for the attack, so he was kicked out.

Yeah I think that was the storyline reason. Bryan showed remorse (guess it was off screen after he strangled Justin Roberts ) so he got kicked and didn't appear with them again.

Also poor Slater

 

[Dale]

Crazy to think 3 world champions should have come out of that group

 

[Hoss]

Ryback coulda been something.

 

[Chris]

Ryback coulda been something.

Bully Ryback >>>> Feed me more Ryback

Man I'm bored so let's look at what the Nexus are doing now according to Wikipedia:

Wade Barrett - Left in 2016, done commentary and stuff here or there I guess?

Darren Young - Left in 2017 after getting injured, Wiki has one appearance at CHIKARA since

Skip Sheffield - Became Ryback, left in 2016..."As of 2020, he has not lost a match on the independent circuit since August 2017."

Michael Tarver - Released in 2011, wrestled for a few notable companies since such as NWA, CHIKARA, NJPW, and ROH but ain't done shit.

Justin Gabriel - Left in 2015 and done quite well for himself on the indies from what I can see as PJ Black.

Heath Slater - Released in 2020 even tho he got kids

David Otunga - Still has a job

Daniel Bryan -

Ryback will always be remembered for Punk making him say that he’s “dumb as fuck”.
