Update on the Future of Nexus After CM Punk's Departure, Alberto Del Rio's Brother

[Andrew]

- Alberto Del Rio's 23 year old brother Memo Rodriguez is now living in South Florida and has began training with former ECW wrestler Pablo Marquez.

- An idea was brought up by WWE creative recently to put Zack Ryder in a new group with WWE Tag Team Champions David Otunga and Michael McGillicutty, who may be without a stable if or when Nexus dies after CM Punk's departure.

- Speaking of Nexus' future, Mason Ryan will likely be repackaged. There has been talk of using him as a bodyguard for either The Miz or Alberto Del Rio.

Nice to see Del Rio's brother starting up wrestling. He's only 23, so he has potential if he does well.

Ryder joining NEXUS - Holy Fucking Shit! This could explain the WWWYKI bit he came out to... This would be really interesting.

Mason being Del Rio's bodyguard would be cool, just wish Ricardo developed into a wrestler. A good storyline can work there.

Seems weird deciphering whoo whoo whoo you know it but it seemed more like a challenge then a hey lets join up. Personally I think it's a bad idea thought it was a bad idea for Punk. Someone with an established character doesn't need to go to that faction it kills the individual.

Mason Ryan as a bodyguard who didn't see that one coming seriously though if you want him to be successful why bother very rarely does it work and he'll only be compared to Batista even further.

I wonder if Memo is any good in the ring. The fact he's 23 is great if he has potential to improve to the point his brother is at. Luckily for Memo, he has like a 9-10 year "headstart" in the WWE than Alberto, although Alberto showed up and slotted in nicely.

- An idea was brought up by WWE creative recently to put Zack Ryder in a new group with WWE Tag Team Champions David Otunga and Michael McGillicutty, who may be without a stable if or when Nexus dies after CM Punk's departure.​

I don't really like this as I can't see any possible reason for this. Ryder has a big online following but is very rarely featured on WWE television. As for Otunga and McGillicutty, they may be Tag Team Champions but they've only wrestled once or twice since winning them, not even needing to defend them yet. The three of them together isn't a very credible stable, regardless of the fact Otunga and McGillicutty were in the Nexus.

I was hoping Ryder would continue to appear after Otunga and McGillicutty had a match or maybe annoy them backstage, leading to Ryder and his tag partner (preferably Hawkins) to challenge for the titles.

- Speaking of Nexus' future, Mason Ryan will likely be repackaged. There has been talk of using him as a bodyguard for either The Miz or Alberto Del Rio.​

I like this, purely due to the fact Mason Ryan is still pretty green in the ring and would really benefit from being sided with Del Rio or The Miz. He needs more time to develop considering he was rushed to the main roster too soon.

Mason Ryan could be like the next Alex Riley... be a sidekick and then pushed... It's something I don't mind.

Mason Ryan as ADR's bodyguard would make no sense. Why the hell wouldn't they have kept Brodus Clay in that role to begin with?

ADR's brother is very smart to have moved close to FCW. Great place to start training to remain on the radar of WWE, gives him a better chance of getting a developmental deal in the future.

Ryder with Otunga & McGillicutty makes no sense at all. I don't know why WWE are making it so complicated with Ryder. He is over as a face and has a huge online following. Just book him as a face on RAW and have him on the show every week wrestling. Put him in a feud with a heel, push him close to the US title and then produce a bigger line of merchandise for him and start counting the money.

Good move to make Ryan a bodyguard again, he needs more training before wrestling weekly on live tv. Don't like either option for who he could work with.
