SmackDown + Superstars Spoilers for this week
 

<font color=goldenrod>Dark match- Showtime Percy Watson defeated Tyler Reks

Superstars–Chris Masters and JTG defeated Chavo Guerrero and Curt Hawkins. Fun back and forth match, Masters won with a Masterlock on Chavo.

Smackdown opened with Kofi celebrating his title win from last week. Jack Swagger interrupted, which led to-
Kofi Kingston defeating Jack Swagger. Not sure if this was a title match. Fun back and forth match, Kofi won with the SOS, but it appeared the ending was botched when Swagger didn’t kick out at the right time.

Next, they filmed the opening and pyro. Del Rio came out and put himself over and talked about winning the Rumble. He was interrupted by R-Truth, who was interrupted by Dashing Cody Rhodes, who was interrupted by Rey Mysterio. A brawl was broken up by Teddy Long, which led to–
Rey Mysterio and Rtruth defeated Cody Rhodes and Alberto Del Rio. Another fun back and forth match, Rey won after a 619 and top rope splash onto Rhodes. Mysterio slipped off the rope performing the splash, and laughed it off afterward.

Trent Barretta beat Drew McIntyre. Drew dominated the match, was looking to Gorilla press Barretta over the top, when he slipped off for a quick roll-up win.

McIntyre attacked Barretta in the back, but stopped when Kelly Kelly walked in. He apologized and told her he had aggression issues, and she told him she didn’t like being around people who cause others pain, and told him to grow up.

Wade Barrett vs Big Show went to a no contest. When Big Show had the upper hand, Heath Slater and Justin Gabriel stormed the ring to help Wade. Ezekiel Jackson also showed up and joined in on the beat down. They all joined hands and celebrated together.

Beth Phoenix defeated Michelle McCool. McCool controlled most of the match and worked over Beths injured knee. Finish came when Beth went for the Glam Slam and Michelle rolled through for a pin, but Beth rolled back through for the win. Layla and Michelle are both great looking women, and Beth is pretty hot too.

Cutting Edge with special guests Dolph Ziggler and Vickie Guerrero. Lots of back and forth and jabs at Vickie. She gets amazing heat, I could barely hear when she talked, and I was front row. She said Dolph was a real man, and showed footage of Edge making out with Alicia Fox the day before he married Vickie. Edge said he also had some footage to share, and showed AJ and Primo walking in on Dolph and Kaitlyn making out 2 months ago. Edge knocked Dolph out of the ring. Vickie slapped him several times, and he looked to spear her, but was pulled from the ring and beat down by Dolph. He and Vickie stood over Edge and made out to close the show. Very good segment.

Well, looks like there are gonna be 2 Nexuses after all. Punk got the shaft in terms of members.</font>

Huzzah for heel Zeke

Whoa, Ezekiel Jackson is going to be in Nexus. Chills

Zeke in Nexus?!?!?! Some actual attention?!?! Yesssss I will be watching this.

cool!

Cool indeed.

I'm excited!!!

Even numbers are neat:

Smackdown:
Wade
2 White Guys
1 Black Guy

RAW:
CM PUNK
2 White Guys
1 Black Guy

They now need an Chinese guy.

Also, looks like a good show. :y:

The fuck is she doing dating a wrestler then, huh?

What do you know? There's one in FCW to call up.

Ezekiel Jackson in Wade Barrett's Nexus is something that is certainly interesting. I've got to be honest -- I prefer the SmackDown! group on paper.

Trent Baretta
Wade Barrett

hmm..

Anyone else interested in how the two Nexuses will react to eachother come Rumble time?... Will they fight? Will they embrace eachother in a hug and screw the other competitors over? Interesting....

Bloody hell, I am not at all regretting reading these spoilers. Can't wait to see it!

Hmm...Punk/Cena to end Nexus at WrestleMania, or Team Punk vs Team Barrett? I'd almost prefer the 8-man tag.

6 man ELIMINEXUS Chamber Match (Punk/Harris/McG/Barrett/Slater/Gabriel) at Elimination Chamber.

Wait...

So Heath Slater isn't on RAW anymore?

Is today Christmas?

Is this the Genesis of Barrett?

Other than Big Zeke being involved. I nailed this one!

Interesting.

i called them both being in at the end of the rumble(prolly with Cena or Show)and Punk or barrett winning the match in the rumble predictions thread. So what colors will this new group have on their t-shirts? Yellow and purple aren't options apparently.

I love this as well! I had a belief that some variation of this would happen as well with having a Team Punk vs Team Barret vs a Team Cena (I still believe you could have R-Truth get involved here due to prior fringe involvement. Morrison could join in as well.)

Truth is calling it the "New Nexus". I dunno why they just don't make it the S.E.S again and get it over with.

In terms of themes, they'll most likely just have Punk's theme be for the whole stable.

The next question is whenever the Skip Sheffield recovers what will they do with him. He was never really kicked out and after Barrett and Gabriel, felt he had the most potential.

As an aside, because of all this developing, I doubt now you'll see Barret vs. Taker. With Kane having no program now, it appears you'll just have another Taker/Kane mania match.

<font color=goldenrod>I don't think the two Nexus groups will interact at all except for maybe a spot during the Rumble match. Looking over the rosters, they're either going to have to put everybody from both stables into the match or use loads of Superstars jobbers to fill out the numbers. My guess is the former.</font>

Well I can definitely see some sort of interaction. First off, I'd put good odds on a few things. If HHH doesn't compete in the Rumble, I'd see Sheamus making a very deep run and having H come out and cost him.

With that being said, I can see Barrett, Punk, Cena and Show all getting deep into this event. Being that you have a 500 pounder and SuperCena, I could absolutely see both Nexus guys trying to eliminate one of them, only to see them both go over a rope. They then begin brawling on the outside.

This would allow Sheamus/HHH program, and a continuation of a Show/Cena/Punk/Barett storyline.


While this is not a Rumble prediction thread, with all that said, I think it clears the way for someone like Del Rio or Morrison to win the Rumble.

"I Ken Leeeeeeee, if living is without you!" :shifty:

Looks good. Wheres Kane tho? Hope hes in the Rumble match.

OMFG yes! SO wow didn't see Barrett having a Smackdown Nexus coming, that's awesome will watch that!

Feel better about his booking now then? :cool:

Especially cause it gets Barrett away from Otunga and keeps him with Justin Gabiel!

Wonder what they'll call the group. Can't be 2 Nexus (Nexuses? Nexii?)

Also what the hell@McIntyre jobbing to Baretta.

I like the Snexus for Barrett's group

Should just call it Nexus, he started it so he can continue it.

Don't see why there can't be two Nexuses.

Barrett can claim to be the true leader of Nexus as he causes anarchy on Smackdown with Slater and Gabriel, while Punk continues to give Cena headaches with Otunga, Harris and McGillicutty. I just wonder if who will keep 'We Are One'.

Barrett it suits him.

Really glad about the new NEW old Nexus

<font color=goldenrod>I think they realize that Punk's Nexus is pretty much gonna be fed to Cena anyway, so they sent the members with actual potential to Barrett's side. Gabriel and Slater could be a formiddable tag team as both heels or faces in the future.

Punk meanwhile gets to keep Otunga, who can't do anything right. McGillicutty, who is boredom personified. And Harris, who looked fucking gassed after doing a simple run in on Monday.</font>

Curious to see where Skip goes when he comes back, should be rather soon that happens too.

Probably Superstars

I have a feeling Skip Sheffield will end up in Punk's group, with no real reason being supplied.

Also, the WWE seems to be slowly turning McIntyre face, or will be going somewhere to re-solidify his heel status. Losing to Trent Barreta forces change in McIntyre, and gives the kid a big win. McIntyre doesn't look weak here.
