We are one...under...Punk!
I am looking forward to CM Punk being the leader of the Nexus. I don't think anyone called this, but it makes perfect sense, in a way. It even goes back to NXT, where Punk was a Pro on the show. It makes sense that Nexus would want to get back out there, even when Wade Barrett can't, and Punk seems a natural fit as leader. He loves getting people to do his bidding.
When Barrett returns, he can either rejoin Nexus, teasing tension between CM Punk, or even joint leadership of the group; or he can even feud with them. Who knows? I don't think the WWE has soured on Barrett, rather they're just raising the stakes of the group.
I'm wondering if "new management" will allow guys like Michael Tarver and Darren Young to return to the group. Punk was Young's Pro on NXT, and seemed impressed with the kid's ability to stand up for himself at points. Is that a quality Punk wants in the Nexus? Or does he want mindless drones? I'm not sure how far away Joey Mercury is from being ready to return to the ring, but he'd make an interesting addition to Nexus, too. Mercury can work, he can talk, and it's a role he would do well in, I think.
