After chants of “We want Nexus! We want Nexus!” during Wade Barrett’s match against Justin Gabriel, WWE.com posted an article about the possibility of the Nexus returning to WWE. Would WWE bring Nexus back?
According to Wrestlezone.com,
“WZ has learned from sources that WWE officials have spoken this week about the possibility of reforming the Nexus stable.
WWE was shocked to hear the Nexus chants last Monday during the match between Wade Barrett and Justin Gabriel. On Friday, one of the top stories on WWE.com was a story talking about if Wade Barrett would ever bring back Nexus.
A source said, “the only reason for putting up a top story on the website about a glorified squash match, is to hear more from the fans.” WWE wants to gauge the general opinion and memory of Nexus from the WWE Universe.
There are two main reasons WWE officials have given thought to bringing back the stable. The first being they feel it would provide another opportunity to have Barrett in a lead role and they will be very aggressive in showcasing him to look as strong as possible. The second reason is the Nexus name and brand sold a lot of merchandise the first time around.
As of now, the current plan is to hear if the chants continue as well as develop possible creative ideas IF they were to move forward with it.
There is no confirmation of the group coming back but as of this week the idea has been put on the table.”
Seth’s Opinion
This could be very interesting. I don’t think WWE should bring back the Nexus necessarily. I think a Nexus Part 2 could do very well. Wade Barrett, Otunga, Ryback, Gabriel and Slater could go somewhere. It doesn’t seem like that group would happen though. Gabriel is in a tag team with Kidd, Slater is starting a “band,” Ryback is heading towards being a top face and Otunga seems to be associated with Del Rio recently. Therefore, realistically, I don’t see the Nexus coming back.
What do you think? Should WWE bring the Nexus back? What would the group look like?

The Nexus group with 2-3 years of time in the ring could be scary.

Definitely something they should do. I loved the Nexus. I got their shirt and an armband. It could be a new Evolution or Legacy sort of deal. I would love that.

You make a good point, Seth. However, fans chanting the former group on Raw shows that fans want it back. There is a demand for Nexus to come back, that’ll make WWE money. And although Barrett, Ryback and co. are headed in good directions solo, being together in a dexterous stable wouldn’t hurt any of them. Personally I’d LOVE to see them back because the first time they started off epic and were booked wrongly. Regarding a name, how about ‘Nexus’? Plain and simple and it explains what they’re all about.

They were booked perfectly. A bunch of rookies who shocked people, but didn’t gel due to lack of knowledge and they’re own insecurities, leading to their downfall.

“their” not “they’re”.

They were booked very well, but then lost their steam. If they were more experienced they probably would have lasted longer.

Yeah, I just couldn’t buy a bunch of rookies taking over like that for the long term.

I think if it does happen, its not going to be the original group. Its going to be different. The question is – what combination of superstars would be best to reform the Nexus? Perhaps I shall write about this.

I’d say a larger group with a combo of newbies from NXT, 2-3 people from the original Nexus, and a couple random jobbers.

How about the name Barrett Barrage?

That’s Wade’s own thing. In fact, I wouldn’t mind him being the one who stands up to the new group.

Or if they (the Nexus) wouldn’t let him in as he was a dick the last time around to all of them. Would be interesting IMO.
