Who remembers the Nexus takeover? I believe that could’ve been one of the greatest Stables EVER!!but they had to mess it up.

Had a great start but a lot of them were bland and inexperienced. They didn't deserve to go over Cena. Maybe Barrett by himself but not that rag team. Sayin' they could have been one of the best is puttin' them up there with DX or nWo. They never had that star power.

Not a chance but the Cena stuff at SummerSlam is still a huge sour point to this day.

Group had heat for about 6 weeks...

Then Summerslam happened.

But how long could that group really have lasted? And in hindsight, some were better after Nexus ended.

Wade was always primed to be a World Champion and got over with the whole “I’m afraid I’ve got some bad news” schtick. Just couldn’t stay healthy.

Ryan Reeves had a killer 2012 as Ryback

Husky Harris was able to save himself.

Even Heath Slater had a nice run with the whole “I got kids” thing for a second

They were probably better off that Nexus failed. And we were better off cause 2 years later, we got a better version of the group in the Shield
