The Nexus: Difference between revisions

** [[CM Punk]] would take over leadership of the Nexus after ''TLC 2010''.

* [[Karma Houdini]]: Averted by Wade Barrett; After his match at Survivor Series and firing [[John Cena]], he gets a WWE title shot the very next night on RAW. He even had The Nexus attack current WWE Champion [[Randy Orton]] [[In the Back|from behind]], for a little reassurance that he would win. But unfortunately for him, [[Laser-Guided Karma]] kicked in and [[John Cena]] jumped the barricade mid-match [[The Dog Bites Back|to hit him with an Attitude Adjustment]], allowing Orton to pick up the victory. [[Your Princess Is in Another Castle|And then]]...[[The Miz|AAAAAAAAAAAAAWESOOOOOOME.]]

*** It should be noted that Undertaker's return occured after the New Nexus/Corre split, and with the exception of Otunga, The New Nexus weren't involved. However, The Corre were also at the show to defend the newly won Tag Team titles.

* [[Kick the Dog]] / [[For the Evulz]]: The brutal beatdown of Ricky Steamboat and other WWE Legends in the middle of a plug for Ricky's new DVD set was probably the Nexus's most heinous act to date. The next week, Skip Sheffield commented on it and said they did it just for fun.

* [[Bald of Evil]]: Ezekiel Jackson.

* [[Black and Grey Morality]]: Corre is the grey compared to The Nexus (being the black) in the idea of being the lesser of two evils. Slater and Gabriel joined Barrett because they didn't agree with Punk's method of initiation. Plus Barrett claims that he made a mistake in making the Nexus all about him, and that in the Corre there is no leader, they are all equal. However, once again, this became a fatal flaw as the extreme individuality and lack of leadership lead to the Corre splitting up.

* [[Defector From Decadence]]: Justin Gabriel & Heath Slater.

* [[Demoted to Extra]]: For Wrestlemania XXVII. Their match against Team Big Show was a thirty second squash with Big Show winning. They really never got back any of the steam they've had since then.

*** And in ''another'' bizarre coincidence, all three representatives of said colonies broke away from the Brit Barrett.

* [[My Friends and Zoidberg]]: Essentially, the group can be described as the three most talented members of the original Nexus, and [[Scary Black Man|Ezekiel]] [[The Juggernaut|Jackson]].

* [[Not Me This Time|Not Us This Time]]: The Corre were adamant that they weren't the ones to attack ''[[Smack Down]]'' GM Theodore Long, despite doing ''that exact thing'' to then ''[[Raw]]'' GM [[Bret Hart]] several months earlier - Hell, Long's assault even occured roughly the same amount of time after the Corre's formation, that the assualt on Hart did following the formation of the Nexus. [[Cassandra Truth|Turns out they weren't lying]].

* [[Not So Different]]: The Corre & New Nexus aren't as different as they claim - The Corre retained the [[True Companions]]/[[Fire-Forged Friends]] aspects of the Nexus that were abandoned by the New Nexus; and both the Corre & New Nexus shared similar modus operendi with their repeated gang attacks. [[Fridge Brilliance|This even applies to their names both referring to the relationships of each group's members]].

** Of course, Slater and Gabriel eventually split from Wade and were heading towards being [[True Companions]], but one bad loss to the Usos split them up as well.

* [[Underwear of Power]]: There's finally a bit of a subversion, not that Heath Slater has switched to long tights.
