Talk:The Nexus (professional wrestling)

Nexus
I remember on the June 14 Raw, that Wade Barrett announced themselves as Nexus, but the article says that they were named Nexus after their attack on Mr. McMahon. Is their any classification to this? WWEFan225 (talk) 16:29, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually, they weren't called the The Nexus during Wade Barrett's speech or after the attack of McMahon(by then they were still being called the NXTers). They were "officially" called The Nexus during the June 28th episode of Raw when they attacked the WWE Legends.--Mikeymike2001 (talk) 17:22, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok, I remember Barrett saying it, but it must have been in my head. Thanks for the help. WWEFan225 (talk) 17:27, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

i noticed an error onthe Nexus list, being that Husky harris is stilllisted as a nexus member, he is not, Hes now in FCW training under a different name and is no longer a nexus member —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.24.237.195 (talk) 14:01, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Nexus (professional wrestling)
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Nexus (professional wrestling)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "OWW": From Stu Bennett:  From Chris Masters:  From Brian Jossie:  From Zack Ryder:  From Serena Deeb:  From Kevin Kiley, Jr.: n From Beth Phoenix:  From Joe Hennig: </li> <li>From David Otunga: </li> <li>From Jillian Hall: </li> </ul>

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 19:29, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

Lock This Page
Can we please lock this page, as someone is continuously vandalizing it and posting garbage about wrestlezone forums? Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.99.216.2 (talk) 02:15, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

Also, people are adding Michael McGuillicutty and Husky Harris to this page. WWE has not officially acknowledged them as being the ones who interfered in the match last night. Please stop adding them until WWE confirms them!

Skip Sheffield
I see that Sheffield's been moved to the 'Former members' list, but I don't think that just because he's injured, he should be removed from the list of current members. --☆ Antoshi ☆ T 17:54, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

Unless it has been officially announced that he has left the group (like being thrown out of it on TV or leaving on his own), then he is still part of the group. --michaelgcuk 19:14, 4 October 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.99.216.2 (talk)
 * If you look on the lead, it saids "Skip Sheffield is out of the group due to injury". So Skip is out of the group.--Mikeymike2001 (talk) 18:25, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
 * The statement is opinion. As said before, until WWE confirms that Sheffield is no longer part of the group, he should not be removed from the list of current members. --☆ Antoshi ☆ T 14:50, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
 * http://www.wwe.com/inside/listthis/heatedpursuits/pursuit7 "the stalwart Bryan expressed remorse for his actions and parted ways with The Nexus, while Tarver, Sheffield and Young were later deemed unworthy of the rebels’ signature armband either due to exile or injury." DX927 (talk) 20:13, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Either they changed the article or you had made up that quote. It Just seems to note that Skip Sheffield was sidelined due to injury while just Tarver and Young were deemed unworthy to be in Nexus. Therefore, Skip is still part of Nexus.--Aguyok (talk) 14:38, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

Though it is said that of Semtember 16, 2010 edition of Raw David Otung implied that they lost Skip so does that count that he is out. --Toonypatrol (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 19:50, 22 October 2010 (UTC).
 * What he implied does not mean it's fact. If you check the WWE website, it still lists Sheffield's 'associations' as The Nexus. So like I said, until WWE confirms that Sheffield is no longer part of the group, he should not be removed from the list of current members. --☆ Antoshi ☆ T 01:12, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

It's official
Via: http://www.prowrestling.com/article/news/16961. -> Sheffield is out. -- TRTX T / C 15:40, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
 * The actual page, found here: http://www.wwe.com/inside/listthis/heatedpursuits/pursuit7 does NOT say what ProWrestling.com says. It says "An ankle injury later sidelined Sheffield, while Tarver and Young were eventually exiled by Barrett..." 'Sidelined' does not mean he's gone. --☆ Antoshi ☆ T 22:22, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

How about a solution?
I've seen this page on Pending Changes more than most. I've got to say, I've little or no interest in wrestling, so I'm not going to be good at determining if he should be in former members or current. So, I propose changing the template to have an extra field, "injured members". That way it's unambiguous, and we can stop this slow edit war. Any thoughts anyone? Worm  09:25, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
 * You know, I WAS going to say that the edit warring was over but I just looked at the edits since last night and, what do you know, another person decides to put Sheffield on the Former members list. But as for the matter at hand, I would be on board to put him into a new template if that helps. --☆ Antoshi ☆ T 14:10, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

It's obvious...
It's obvious Sheffield is out of Nexus. The paragraph that mentioned his injuries otherwise ONLY consisted of members no longer in Nexus. Not to mention the fact that they removed him from the titantron. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.101.143.138 (talk) 03:45, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
 * It's also obvious that this is clear speculation. ⒺⓋⒾⓁⒼⓄⒽⒶⓃ  ②  04:28, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I'd say what IS obvious is that whenever he comes back into action, it's up for grabs as to whether or not he'd stay as Otunga has (the only member he would remember, he never chose to team with Punk/Ryan/McGillibuddy) or leave to join the overwhelming presence of original teammates in the Corre. What is the truth is that Skip wasn't visibly part of the decision to oust Barrett from the group or elect Punk as the leader, so it's something he might dispute. Dictabeard (talk) 04:58, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

Michael McGuillicutty & Husky Harris
WWE has not acknowledged them as being the attackers of John Cena. Stop adding them! There is no solid proof that it was them! Jeez, can we please lock this page? --michaelgcuk 19:22, 4 October 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.99.216.2 (talk)
 * If you look at the attackers closely, you can clearly tell it was McGillicutty and Harris.--Mikeymike2001 (talk) 18:27, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

And if you watch the broadcast, the announcers do not seem to know who they are. WWE.com currently says that the attackers are unknown. So until they are actually announced as the attackers, they don't get added to the page. --michaelgcuk 19:29, 4 October 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.99.216.2 (talk)

It may in fact be them and the replay on the DVR looks like them, however there are no reliable sources at this time to confirm it was them. Even if the announcers, as part of the storyline, pretended not to know who they were, whether or not the announcers acted in this manner is irrelevant. There are are absolutely no sources at this time confirming it was in fact them. I personally think it was them and others feel this way too, but without reliable sources we have to exclude it at this time.--132.3.41.68 (talk) 20:24, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

Well, Having it be Tuesday October 5th, The wwe has confirmed it last night on raw that it was indeed Husky Harris and Michael Mcgillicutty who attacked John Cena at Hell in a Cell forcing him to join The Nexus. The Problem I have is that Wade Barrett said last night on Raw that Harris and Mcgillicutty were not members of The Nexus. So, "as of the present date", Why are they listed as members? Supporting does not mean they are a member! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Terrisman69 (talk • contribs) 11:26, October 5, 2010

Page locked - Let's get down to business
Well it seems the page is now fully protected so that nobody can edit it until 12/7/10. The reason is obvious: Skip Sheffield. I know I have people that agree with me and people that disagree, but the fact remains that WWE has not officially posted anything that explicitly states that Skip Sheffield is out of the group. The WWE.com page (at http://www.wwe.com/inside/listthis/heatedpursuits/pursuit7) that everyone seems to reference, states that Sheffield was "sidelined", which does not mean that he's out of the group. Speculative websites do not count as reliable enough sources in this matter. It still states on WWE's website that not only is he still employed by the company, but his 'Associations' are The Nexus. So until this page gets unprotected, everyone needs to be on the same page. --☆ Antoshi ☆ T 22:52, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
 * That makes sense. What we really need is either, a direct change to site, a segment where Sheffield appears and says that he quits Nexus, or Wade Barret stating that he has fired Sheffield for being dead weight or something along that line. I also agree that sidelined is an unusual statement to use for someone that is no longer in the group. Quit, Kicked out, or dumped would have make much more sense in that context.--76.66.180.54 (talk) 04:24, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
 * If it helps, according to an interview with Barrett, Sheffield is indeed officially out of the group for now. However unlike Young and Tarver, Sheffield is open to rejoin them after his recovery. --<span style="border:1px solid;border-left:3px solid;border-right:3px solid;background:#FFA142;font-family:Calibri">  Θaks ter  10:44, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Hmm, I don't really know how to feel about this one. On the one hand, Barrett, who's signed to the WWE and should know the inner workings, especially in his own angle says that Sheffield is out of the group for now, but could return later. The problem I have is that there's not been an official word from WWE itself about Sheffield's status in the group. --☆ Antoshi ☆ T 04:52, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

Skip Sheffield II
I started this, so I have a proposal/ compromise. Why do we not create a status unknown section and add him to that for the time being. Sooner or later the truth will come out, until then, COMPROMISEK.O.K Kev (talk) 07:22, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

P.S Tarver has an Injury not an official Exit Slip why not add him too.
 * I don't understand why these things go so far over your head that you can't grasp them. I can't tell if you're trolling or if you're being honest. Tarver (according to this link: http://www.wwe.com/inside/listthis/heatedpursuits/pursuit7) was removed from the group. As for the compromise thing, I think a 'Status Unknown' could work and I would be on board for that. But as far as compromise goes, you're one of the ones that needs to do so since I saw your edit war sometime before the page was locked. --☆ Antoshi ☆ T 04:51, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

WWE recently confirmed that Sheffield is indeed no longer a part of Nexus. ( http://www.wrestlezone.com/news/article/skip-sheffield-out-of-nexus-ricky-mortontna-deal-nixed-117075)--Triforce244 (talk) 00:37, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
 * This page has already been seen before and it's not a reliable enough source. We're looking for official confirmation from WWE itself, not wrestling news and rumor sites. --☆ Antoshi ☆ T 21:06, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

I've thought of a possible solution, and have mentioned above  Worm   09:38, 23 December 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm also for a 'status unknown'. It's importance to list that the WWE hasn't confirmed his status officially, but maybe list these non-reliable source as evidence of popular wrestling web sites rumouring that he is out. Considering only one teammate remains (Otunga, who was always trying to mess with the group) I'd think it more plausible that Skip would join the Corre to be with his 3 original teammates. That, or maybe he'll join up with Regal. Or both, if Regal and Jackson make up somehow (Jackson is fighting Kozlov as Corre but their ECW vendetta seems forgotten). Dictabeard (talk) 05:03, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

Members list & photo
The members/former members list has eight people who were members from June 7, and the photo to the right of them states 'the original seven members'. Granted Bryan was only in for a few days, but I'm not sure the best way to word the photo... 'seven of the original members' maybe? BulbaThor (talk) 18:15, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
 * You're right. I changed the caption of the picture to say that. Next time though, you should Be bold and change the article yourself instead of asking if it's okay to change it. --☆ Antoshi ☆ T 13:26, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Should CM Punk be listed as a member? Is there anything stating he is part of the group or is this just speculation. I understand he put the nexus armband on, but nothing else has been said about it.199.245.32.210 (talk) 19:12, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

New Alleged Leader, CM Punk
I have seen a lot of people adding that CM Punk is now the new leader of Nexus (in clear violation of WP:CRYSTAL and adding week-by-week events but that's not the issue right now), but I question as to how they came to this conclusion factually considering that during RAW, it was never explicitly stated that it was CM Punk who was the new leader of The Nexus (nor was it stated who was for that matter). To support this, I'll even cite WWE's own RAW synopsis which states the following ("perhaps" emboldened for emphasis): "The Straightedge Superstar shrewdly nailed his opponent with a GTS, then slipped the Nexus armband on himself, signaling that perhaps Punk will be the new ringleader of the yellow-and-black brigade." With that said - without wanting to come off as a jerk, I ask anyone adding that he is the new leader of the faction to actually prove it before next weeks/years RAW (I return to the point of adding week-by-week material). ⒺⓋⒾⓁⒼⓄⒽⒶⓃ ②  14:07, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Frankly I agree. It is still unclear as to Barrett's role within the group. Otunga's comments of Nexus being "under new management" could've been refering to himself. Certainly Barrett is still apart of Nexus, but until it is definatively stated that Punk, Otunga or anyone else has replaced Barrett as the group's leader, the page should still list Barrett as leader I think.--Evil Maldini (talk) 16:41, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree as well. Otunga's comment is a bit vague. And the fact that WWE is either uncertain themselves if they want Punk as the new leader or simply want to make it a surprise until next week does not warrant enough evidence that Punk is the leader of Nexus. --☆ Antoshi ☆ T 19:31, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

I am adding back "On the December 27 episode of Raw, Nexus came out to offer a truce to John Cena stating they were under new management. Cena turned them down and was subsequently attacked by the Nexus. Following this CM Punk came out and put on a Nexus armband. All members of Nexus saluted CM Punk and Punk saluted the Nexus." This is not speculation. I am not claiming CM punk to be leader or even part of the group. I do not know how to cite my source on the article page. My source is wwe.com If anyone disagrees with this please state why. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.245.32.210 (talk) 15:20, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I'll start with the in-line comment that's posted on every single wrestling related article on Wikipedia: "DO NOT ADD WEEK BY WEEK EVENTS, RUMORS OR SPECULATION.

 * No one is questioning the importance of the event. The only thing in question is who the supposed leader is. As mentioned above, at no point was it explicitly stated that CM Punk was the new "leader" of Nexus. That argument has been laid out and presented already. There's no reason for me to repeat it here as well. Technically speaking, we shouldn't even be identifying leaders. I'd love to see someone start a debate on who exactly lead the NWO.

So Will the attack by Nexus and CM Punk ever be added, or it can't be added yet because it just happened? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.245.32.210 (talk) 20:47, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

Okay, until Punk or someone else blatantly says that Punk is a member of Nexus, we shouldn't list Punk as a member. I thought we weren't supposed to put weekly events on Wiki pages. Excuse me if I didn't get the memo that said we could. Theharshtruth (talk) 22:20, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
 * The WWE website has already said so. (http://www.wwe.com/shows/raw/results/16675382/) "After leaving their rival battered, Nexus exited and CM Punk, who had been trying to rally the Raw roster against Cena all evening, assumed their position. The Straightedge Superstar shrewdly nailed his opponent with a GTS, then slipped the Nexus armband on himself, signaling that perhaps Punk will be the new ringleader of the yellow-and-black brigade." So the question is not whether he is a member, but whether he is the new leader of Nexus. ☆ Antoshi ☆ T 23:35, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

You actually never know, Punk could come out Monday and say, "Okay, that was just a joke what happened last week", sure it's unlikely, but that's why I don't think weekly events should have that big of an effect on Wikipedia. It never says he's a member of the Nexsus. And until he blatantly states that he's now a member of the Nexus, the Wiki page shouldn't state such a thing. Theharshtruth (talk) 02:40, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
 * "Punk could come out Monday and say..." WP:CRYSTAL. You can't just presume what will happen in the future. WWE.com itself says that Nexus is part of the group, it does not need to come from Punk's mouth. ☆ Antoshi ☆ T 10:47, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

Just because he "Joined Nexus" doesn't necessarily mean he "Joined" Nexus. Probably confusing so let me explain. Saying he "joined" could mean he joined them in the attack on Cena. Not specifically joined as an official member. Like when Husky Harris and Mcgillicutty attacked Cena, until 3 or 4 weeks later, they weren't brought in as official members. The article cited isn't specifically saying he's an official member of the Nexus. I guess the best thing to do would see if this is cleared up tonight. Theharshtruth (talk) 23:22, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Well since it's after the fact now, I have no interest in "I told you so"'s. Rather, I'd like to say that you're inferring the Policies and guidlines of Wikipedia incorrectly. The situation with Harris and McGillicutty was different because not only was their addition to Nexus not announced on air (they were later instated by Barrett on a future Raw), but there was nothing on WWE.com or their bios saying they had indeed joined Nexus. That was not the case with Punk. Despite not having a verbal confirmation of his status in Nexus until the following week, WWE.com stated that he indeed was part of the group. I already quoted the site so there's no need to do it again. ☆ Antoshi ☆ T 21:24, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I doubt it was unclear to anyone whether or not he was a part of Nexus. I personally think that was pretty obvious. As stated earlier, I had no contention with status of CM Punk as a member of Nexus or not. My only issue (and the issue at hand) was with the speculation at the time. Speculation that turned out to be factual (as is pretty predictable with WWE), but speculation all the same. This is an encyclopedia, not a rumor mill. As for the comment by theharshtruth, you're honestly just splitting hairs. ⒺⓋⒾⓁⒼⓄⒽⒶⓃ  ②  23:20, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

As it's clear at this point what the circumstances are, we can all come to terms that CM Punk is apparently the new figurehead / leader - whatever you want to call him. But seriously, the week-to-week seem to just be getting flagrantly added as does the crystal balling and speculation. For example, and I quote (I'll italicize / embolden keypoints): Barrett returned on the January 3 episode wanting to know why Punk was added and didn't even trust him. Before Barrett's match, Punk ordered Barrett to win so he can stay in Nexus, but if he loses, he's out. Barrett almost won the Triple Threat Steel Cage match that involved Sheamus and Randy Orton when Punk ran out and appeared to help Barrett when he was really there to kick Barrett out. Seriously, there are ways to write these things without the play-by-play. "Week-to-Week" and "Crystal" are about to become the secret word of the day... ⒺⓋⒾⓁⒼⓄⒽⒶⓃ ②  06:08, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

Meh, I just thought it was idiotic when something like this happens, with no real clarification, people seem to think it's okay to put unclarified information down as a fact. But whatever. That reminds me, as far as speculation goes, why does it say Skip Sheffield is "Believed to return in early 2011"? Isn't that just speculation? Isn't "Believe" and "Speculate" the same thing? Or do you have a logical defense for that and I'm "Just splitting hairs"? Theharshtruth (talk) 23:48, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
 * "why does it say Skip Sheffield is 'Believed to return in early 2011'?" Perhaps I missed something but where does it state this? Yes, without a valid and reliable source, it would indeed be crystal balling and should be immediately removed. I just don't see it anywhere on the article. ⒺⓋⒾⓁⒼⓄⒽⒶⓃ  ②  01:09, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Red question icon with gradient background.svg Not done: please be more specific about what needs to be changed. Salvio  Let's talk about it! 14:43, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

McGillicutty
I saw on his page that he was sent back to FCW, along with Alex Riley. Does that mean he's out of the Nexus?  WWEFan225 MessageContributions  02:22, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
 * No, he's out of action like Sheffield. Wouldn't it be hilarious to see Sheffield come back and see how his whole entourage changed while he was gone. Feed  back  ☎ 02:40, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, that would be really funny, althoguh I bet when he returns, he's joining the Corre. Just a guess. But anyway, I saw this link on Michael McGillicutty's page, saying he's being sent back to FCW to be repackaged. This led me to believe that he is out of Nexus.  WWEFan225 MessageContributions  19:32, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, he might be repackaged, but it doesn't change the fact he hasn't been kicked out on TV. We'll have to wait until his fate is acknowledged on TV. Feed  back  ☎ 19:50, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Ohh, I got it now.  WWEFan225 MessageContributions  20:11, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

Incarnations
Is the incarnations table really necessarily? I think the dates they were in the group table is a lot more informative and clearer to read. Tony2Times (talk) 19:53, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I concur with this, it looks messy, especially now it's apparently down to just two people. BulbaThor (talk) 17:22, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I think we should remove the Incarnations Table, it's kinda redundant. Starship.paint (talk) 12:40, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Since there are no objections I will be removing the Incarnations table shortly.Starship.paint (talk) 13:45, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

CM Punk
I removed anything saying Punk isn't in the group and the paragraph about his contract expiring since it didn't happen yet. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GETYOPROPERTYTOOK (talk • contribs) 21:34, 15 July 2011 (UTC) I think CM Punk is now out of the group since he is at least by kayfabe no longer even part of WWE. --Tscherpownik (talk) 00:29, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

For what it's worth, WWE's new Nexus entrance video shows David Otunga, Michael McGillicutty & Mason Ryan as members. http://wwe.me/1dTGl3 EvWill (talk) 13:12, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

Nexus (professional wrestling) → Nexus (wrestling) – Overprecision. Marcus  Qwertyus   15:58, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I disagree. There is a difference between wrestling (such as collegiate, greco-roman, freestyle, etc.) and professional wrestling, just like there's a vast difference between Puroresu and Lucha Libre. I do believe that if the article had been titled as "Nexus (professional wrestling stable)" (or even as "Nexus (sports-entertainment stable)"), then yes it would be classifiable as Overprecision - but I would propose it being renamed to as it stands at the time of this posting: "Nexus (professional wrestling)". I also believe that in terms of WP:UCN, for those who don't type Nexus directly in and find the resultant disambiguation page (presently), professional wrestling is an apt moniker.

I disagree with the proposal. It goes against the long-established naming convention for professional wrestling articles. As stated above there are many types of "wrestling" and we do not want to assert that pro is more important/significant than any other type (that would inevitably offend readers and fellow editors alike). <strong style="color:#9400D2;font-family:comic sans ms;">ŞůṜīΣĻ ¹98¹ <strong style="color:#DC143C;">Speak 10:09, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
 * If you don't want to assert that one is more important than the other then why would you needlessly want to append professional to the title? Marcus   Qwertyus   10:20, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Because we don't want to assert one is more important than the other...? <strong style="color:#9400D2;font-family:comic sans ms;">ŞůṜīΣĻ ¹98¹ <strong style="color:#DC143C;">Speak 10:26, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Alright, I'll break it down because I don't understand the point you're trying to make. Wrestling refers to a wide variety of forms of which professional wrestling is only one. Therefore, articles have to differentiate. Renaming this as Nexus (wrestling) begs the instant question "what kind of wrestling?". Keeping this as Nexus (professional wrestling) makes it clear from the get-go. Professional wrestling is not inherently more important than amateur/Greco-Roman/Sambo etc. and therefore does not deserve exclusive rights to the word "wrestling". <strong style="color:#9400D2;font-family:comic sans ms;">ŞůṜīΣĻ ¹98¹ <strong style="color:#DC143C;">Speak 10:32, 13 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Oppose per numerous precedents, both in and out of professional wrestling. For example, NHL players are disambiguated as "(ice hockey)", not just "(hockey)". GaryColemanFan (talk) 19:11, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

Where did the previous versions go?
Some IP blanked this article and rewrote it with stuff about Kofi and Bourne. The last proper version is dated 15 May 2011! Where did the rest of the article go? Starship.paint (talk) 08:43, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

Oh phew. The IP blanked The Nexus (professional wrestling) instead of Nexus (professional wrestling). I will revert the edits shortly. Starship.paint (talk) 08:45, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

WTF
This article's a mess. Ugh. But I don't think we should remove the Corre's section either. It just needs to be tidied. >< Starship.paint (talk) 13:39, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

What's the team's new name?
What does McGillicutty and Otunga call themselves now that Nexus has broken up?92.235.168.144 (talk) 19:51, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

Vandalism
The page is a mess, there's mislinking, red links & the wrong info in the info box, the members table has most of them listed as presently members of nexus, and the incarnations table is a mess. I'm not sure how to fix the latter two things, or how to request protection, because looking in the history there's a lot of vandalism... BulbaThor (talk) 18:47, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Harris as Bray Wyatt
Since it was was mention in the "Members" section that Sheffield re-debuted in the WWE as Ryback, why was my edit about Harris returning as Bray Wyatt removed? Jedi Striker (talk) 19:55, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Never noticed that. But yeah, this article is for the actions that occurred when these wrestlers were a part of Nexus. Anything beyond that is for each individual wrestler's article. ☆ Antoshi ☆ T 01:34, 24 August 2013 (UTC)

Disbandment Date
Come to think of it, I disagree with the disbandment date. Otunga & McGillicutty remained united after losing the WWE Tag Team Championships until 9/19/2011. I think that should be the disbandment date. — Preceding unsigned comment added by WaffleMan45 (talk • contribs) 17:22, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
