WWE: What Will Happen to The Nexus?

The Doctor Chris MuellerApr 6, 2011

Sunday night saw the culmination of a feud that started over two years ago. I am, of course, talking about Randy Orton and CM Punk.  Punk was still holding a grudge over a punt kick he received at the hands of Orton in 2008.

This storyline has been one of the driving feuds on Raw leading into Wrestlemania.  Orton systematically took out David Otunga, Mason Ryan, Husky Harris and Michael McGillicutty over the course of four weeks in order to ensure that he had a fair match with Punk.

But with all these members of Nexus being taken out, one has to wonder what will happen to the group that once ran rampant over Raw?

Nexus was originally created when all the members of the first season of NXT stormed the ring and attacked John Cena and other WWE employees.  This attack led to the formation of WWE's most powerful stable in years.

Wade Barrett was the front runner and he was looking more like a future champion every week as he and his crew of NXT misfits would gang up on everyone and anyone they deemed a threat to their dominance.

Now that Barrett has Corre over on Smackdown, and all the members of Nexus have been sidelined, what will happen to CM Punks' flock? 

Punk has been great as the leader of the Nexus, and he even garnered the compliment of being called the best villain on television by Jim Ross.

Punk as a group leader is great because his personality is so open that he can alter his act to go along with whatever the WWE needs him to do.

Husky Harris and Michael McGillicutty seemed primed to win the WWE Tag Titles at some point but now it looks like that may not happen. 

Otunga obviously has some star power being engaged to Jennifer Hudson, and Mason Ryan was essentially a Batista clone. 

What is to come of these young, hungry athletes?  Will they come back to Raw eventually and continue serving Punk, or will they reappear as singles wrestlers later down the line?

Punk still wore his Nexus armband on Sunday, so its possible that WWE has plans to have the group come back at some time.

What do you guys hope happens to Nexus? Should they break up and go their own ways or reform and keep running over everyone in their path?
