I'm sure Wade Barrett has got a better understanding of the way things work better than any of us here do, and is quite happy that he seems to be featured on every single fucking PPV and gets time to get himself over both in the ring and on the mic.
The Nexus angle should have been executed better post-Survivor Series (I think this is where it went off the rails), and I do believe that some attention has been taken off Barrett lately, but a lot of that was due to WrestleMania. The Corre only got a few minutes there, because the show was all about the main event stuff, and since then it, also, got stuck in a rut, and we've worked our way down to the group disintegrating.
A big flashing light went off on last week's SmackDown!, though. They had Barrett drop the IC Title to Big Zeke, and then immediately get his rematch to establish the reign of a new champion. But then they had Barrett backstage saying he's done with the IC Title and he has bigger things on his mind.
Truthfully, I can't think of a better choice to win Money in the Bank than Barrett. Sheamus is the only other guy I could really see doing it, but he really doesn't need it. He can just attack Orton, or whoever the champion is, and there you go. Barrett would get a bit of a boost back up by winning, and could cut the promos that the WWE were going for with Mr. Kennedy when he won. The false-build, the strike at any time vibe, etc.
