Love this move. This can be what the SES never got to be.
I do wonder about Barrett. Logic says he returns as a face who's learned his lesson, but he works SO well as a heel. Hope they don't jettison those badass shirts already, since Barrett's face is plastered on them. |

OR they could sweep all that "CM Punk getting a beating from NeXus" thingy under a rug...I mean, so what if he got beat up by NeXus? WWE doesn't expect fans to remember THAT.

I think Punk can breathe new life into Nexus.
That said, I still don't take the Nexus seriously. It was the same fucking attack that has happened for a year. I just can't after all the shit that's happened take them seriously. For them to regain face here, they need to absolutely destroy Cena at Mania and send him packing for months. If Punk/Nexus doesn't come out on top, then my fears will be founded and Nexus will still be a failure. |

This is the way this feud makes it to WrestleMania. Punk can fully heal while Nexus does his bidding. Currently, RAW is putting a lot of effort into a group while the undercard is dying. SmackDown has plenty of guys on the rise like Dolph Ziggler, Drew McIntyre, and Kofi Kingston to prop up their midcard, while on RAW, Daniel Bryan has nobody who can be seen as a threat.

I smell a Cena and Barrett alliance here to take on this new rebel Nexus.

Punk can make anything gold. And he clearly has a lot of leeway in his promos.
At least the promos will be good. |

Punk is close to THAT level where he can make the other NeXus members look good. He's got a good mind, so perhaps backstage, when they're talking about what they're going to do, he can talk to them and give them tips and groove them.

I'm taking nothing away from Punk. Just saying I don't know how different Nexus will actually be with him as the leader, or what people here are actually expecting. Yeah, the promos will be good. But they were good with Barrett on the mic, too.

All this time, NeXus has lacked a veteran presence to legitimize the group. They now have it.

maybe this is all a super swerve...punk did not hit cena with the chair...anyone remmebers when punk joined the new breed on ecw a few years back? he basically bugs bunnied the fuck outta them for a week or 2 (can't remember how long) by screwing up alll their plans.
perhaps cena and punk are in collusion in order to get rid of the nexus , with him being the leader he can make them do crazy illogical crap...it would be a nice twist from the norm.

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. |

i wish i could afford to go to both raw and smackdown next week. i settled for smackdown since i live in tucson, and i cant afford to get raw tickets, and drive to phoenix. i think it is going to be a really good raw in phoenix, i just hope they put on a good show here in tucson, like when they did the empty arena match with mick and the rock, that shit was tight

Perhaps Barrett returns as a loner heel. Kind of the "badass heel" that Orton was. Says stuff like "Cena was right, I had to stop taking shortcuts... so now I'll beat you down by myself".
Looking forward to CM PuNk next week. Wonder if there's gonna be a group head-shaving?

Blah, so they kick out the only guy really worth a damn in Nexus. I mean seriously, why would Punk allign himself with a Barrettless Nexus, they never win matches ever.
Then again I'm really bias towards Wade Barrett. He's literally the best fresh face the WWE has introduced in years |

I could see Punk ending up becoming the higher power or someone Nexus said was part of their plans during the initial weeks of Nexus.
Would be easy to explain why Punk was beaten as a way to throw everyone off in his involvement with the group and maybe S.E.S. being the test or prototype of Punk's bigger plans to change the WWE. Raw itself was pretty good tonight and a bit disappointed at Miz-Morrison title match being done next week instead of the Rumble but WWE can always continue the Miz-Morrison at a later time due to their personal rivalry. |

It doesn't even need to be that deep. 6 are better than 1, Punk's ego wouldn't allow him to believe he'll fail where Barrett did, they all have reasons to want to see Cena fall, it's a wrestling show and David Simon-esque plots aren't really required etc.
It's not at all surprising but it numbs my mind that people are already complaining about this. |

No, he didn't. He wrestled with one leg so there was no chance for pain where his leg used to be.
It's not a broken leg though, it's a broken ankle. If he wrestled on it he could damage it further and then pull a Kerry Von Erich and lose the foot. |

Yes, I'm sure Lara Emily was being serious and thought that Zach Gowen was hiding his 'broken leg' in his shorts.
