Who is on nexus wwe team

No Nexus member got a repackaging as good as Skip Sheffield when he became Ryback in Ryback was a monster babyface who put together an impressive undefeated streak throughout and even got WWE title matches with CM Punk and John Cena. Unfortunately, Ryback suffered a string Pay-Per-View losses that stalled his momentum. Over the next few years the WWE tried to get him over as both a monster heel and face, but it never materialized into another main event spot.

In Sheffield left the WWE due to a contract dispute and frustrations with creative. Since then he's wrestled in the independent circuit and hosts a podcast called Conversation with the Big Guy Ryback.

Darren Young will always be a part of WWE history by becoming the first openly gay active wrestler while with the company in Bizarrely, his last big storyline was becoming Bob Backlund's life coach in with their campaign slogan being "Make Darren Young Great Again.

Young was released in October and has since made occasional appearances on the independent circuit, including teaming up with Nexus members Michael Tarver and Justin Gabriel in the Chikara: King of Trios tournament.

David Otunga was the only member Nexus who stayed with the faction throughout its entire existence. While his wrestling resume isn't eye-popping, his real life resume is very impressive as both a lawyer and an actor. He's still employed by the WWE, making occasional appearances on commentary while acting on the side. One of the most athletically gifted members of the faction, Justin Gabriel found some success in the tag team division with Heath Slater and Tyson Kidd.

As a singles wrestler, he had virtually no success and was used primarily as a jobber. When Barrett first showed up on NXT, I was unsure of how well he would do, but after he cut a promo about wind, my mind was changed.

This guy has everything the WWE wants. He has the look, size, attitude, and skill to make a name for himself in the largest wrestling company in the world. I hope he gets a chance to shine on his own soon, because I feel he could be one of the future top heels in the company if he keeps going the way he has been.

Next is Heath Slater. He calls himself the one-man rock band, but he rocks about as much as the Goo Goo Dolls these days. He is bland, unoriginal, and worst of all, bad on the mic. But that does not make up for him being boring.

I could see him doing well in a tag team, but on his own, I think he would be relegated to mid-card status at best. David Otunga has some name recognition due to being engaged to Jennifer Hudson, and he has a great physique.

But that's where his bankable qualities end. The conclusion of the competition on June 1, saw Wade Barrett declared the winner who was awarded a WWE contract and a championship match at a pay-per-view of his choosing.

The seven losers of the competition were left without a job, and Barrett immediately began performing on the Raw brand. Barrett led the group in an attack on Cena, Punk, Luke Gallows , Jerry "The King" Lawler , Matt Striker and other WWE personnel around the ring, as well as destroying everything at ringside, including the announce table and the ring itself.

During the attack, Daniel Bryan strangled ring announcer Justin Roberts with Roberts' necktie and also spat on Cena's face. His absence was explained by Barrett saying that Bryan had felt remorse for his actions, and as a result, he was kicked out of the group. A week later, the group explained their actions as retribution for the poor treatment they received from WWE management during their time on NXT. When Hart then ordered the whole Raw roster to stand guard at the ringside and stage areas during the main event, the Nexus attacked Hart backstage by forcing him into a limousine and crashing it into other vehicles.

During the Fatal 4-Way pay-per-view, the Nexus interfered in the main event for the WWE Championship, attacking all the wrestlers involved. Sheamus used the interference to his advantage and took the title from John Cena. The group then spent the next few weeks attacking various WWE figures, such as Hall of Famer Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat and other legends when they were celebrating Steamboat's DVD release following an edict that Nexus and the rest of the Raw roster could not engage in physical confrontation that week.

WWE Chairman Vince McMahon subsequently removed Hart as general manager due to his injuries, and appointed a new general manager , who chose to remain anonymous communicating only through e-mails quoted by "official spokesman" Michael Cole.

The general manager immediately gave the Nexus WWE contracts and reinstated Barrett's championship match opportunity.

Barrett revealed that this group was going to form no matter who wound up winning NXT , stating that the seven of them had formed a "Nexus" and had a common goal they all fought to have accomplished. However, even after apologizing for their actions, the Nexus continued their hostile attacks, including one on McMahon who tried to take credit for the Nexus' actions. On the July 5 edition of Raw , the anonymous general manager demanded Cena and Barrett call a truce later in the night. Cena refused and attempted to attack Barrett, which began a brawl between the Nexus and most of the Raw locker room.

After Cena would not stop assaulting Darren Young, the GM announced that Cena would face the Nexus in a 7-on-1 handicap match the following week, which caused Cena to further attack Young. The storyline started when Percy Watson invited his partners the other rookies to attack MVP in retaliation for the pros attacking the rookies in the aftermath of the Nexus forming—to "keep them in line" , but in reply to this, MVP called the other pros and became ready for a fight.

Co-host Matt Striker then intervened and arranged a Battle Royal, also including The Nexus who were making a scheduled appearance on the show anyway. All seven Nexus members were declared co-winners after being the last men in the ring. However, the referees threw the key into the crowd and the tool that Tarver tried to use to break in.

They then tried to climb up and get involved. However, Sheamus and Cena were able to hold them off and escape, with Sheamus winning.

On the July 19 edition of Raw the Nexus continued their attacks on the Raw roster by first attacking Edge and then Chris Jericho , after the two longtime rivals attempted to manipulate the group against each other.
