So what is up with CM Punk's NEW NEXUS

[Mr. Nerfect]

Are you high, Naitch? Not a criticism, just an observation.

Personally, I really liked the idea someone had (might have been Jeritron) of CM Punk coming out and saying that he played the Nexus and Randy Orton like...fiddles...and he used Orton to take them out, and he plans to do the same to Orton at WrestleMania.

Then you can have the Nexus show up randomly after one of CM Punk's matches (perhaps even at WrestleMania) and be all "Hey dude, payback time," and they kick his ass.

The Nexus was one of the hottest angles of the past year, but I think it is time for them to evolve and find acceptance. The Corre seems to have the outsiders making an impact thing locked down. Have David Otunga, Michael McGillicutty, Husky Harris & Mason Ryan wage a war against CM Punk -- who can perhaps bring with him Joey Mercury, Colt Cabana (I can dream) and Matt Cross (who is on Tough Enough), and we can see a good ol' stable war. Or not. Whichever. I just think it would benefit Nexus to be either babyfaces, or at least "cool heels." It might do more for their t-shirt sales, at the very least. You could have Otunga lead the group, and perhaps not play so much of an in-ring role as a mouthpiece, while he polishes off his ring work.

If you want the Nexus to have an established leader, though, in my dream world, Chris Jericho would return and want revenge on Randy Orton, and with the Nexus wanting the same thing, a Jericho/Nexus union could be pretty powerful.

Reading your post gave me an idea. The part where you suggested Nexus come back and go after Punk for using them.

I think it's fair to say that the WWE most likely has plans for Mason Ryan. There were reports (who knows if they're accurate) of Vince being very concerned about how he was being handled and getting over.

Aside from everyone pointing out that he looks a lot like Batista, given his size and style, he's probably the type of talent WWE would like to push similarly.

Well, if Nexus returns as a unit to seek revenge on CM Punk, they will be faces. It's only natural. CM Punk is a super heel, and he'd be in the heel role in the scenario of him revealing using them.
So how about Mason Ryan as the emerging leader? Or at the very least, the most powerful and competent member of the group that CM Punk fears.
It would mostly be derivative of the HHH/Batista feud. The animal type is unleashed on it's evil owner. A force to be reckoned with that Punk never thought would get off the leash and bite the hand that feeds it.
It's partly a rehash, but I think it'd be just crazy enough to work. CM Punk would be glorious in that type of story and Mason Ryan and the disgruntled Nexus soldiers might come out looking like a million bucks.
