I can see this being a nice swerve where Nexus are all fine and just use this to beat the hell out of Cena. Cena will then be truly "gone" only for Juan Cena to appear to get revenge on his fallen cousin. Thus will start the part of the angle where Nexus try to unmask Juan Cena. They've got time left in this still.

Occasional Pre-Show
OK this storyline better not end there are too many questions unanswered about nexus like why they attacked undertaker and there bigger plan like they said months ago and correct me if i'm wrong didn't they say they had a leader unknown to anyone else. Anyways Cena will get rehired but will get beat down so bad by nexus till the other wwe wrestlers come to help cena will then be taken out supposably for a while and like Your Eternal Reward said juan cena will appear in the mix other than that this storyline will at least go on to wrestlemania and in my opinion longer than that cause this is one of the best stories wwe has created in a long time.

I think the real question is, Do these 6 fairly unprepared rookies continue without an accomplished leader like Barrett? Personally, I believe so, but Barrett brings leadership and confidence to the table, not to mention direction. I feel these guys are ready to move on, but they won't yet. They need to team up as one to keep Cena out instead of destroyong their core.

Better Off This Way
That'd an interesting point... it is still yet to be revealed as to why the nexus attacked undertaker, and as kane clearly didn't invite them there it was the work of some higher power or simply barrett himself, either way we don't know what that was yet. So unless they want to leave a huge dead end, they'll settle somehow.

I saw some posters above mention Juan Cena and my guess is that this gimmick is reserved for house shows. That way those shows that have advertised John Cena can still satisfy the fans while still keeping the Cena fired story intact. John himself being on Raw has been the big story and there's been no reason to bring Juan to television.
That aside, I think there are three main ways this could go:
1. Cena is rehired, nexus is intact, and cena continues to feud with barrett. While this may make the most logical sense, I think it is actually the least likely outcome because it feels too much like nothing has changed from where we were when this whole nexus/cena feud began.
2. Barrett refuses and is kicked out; when the dust settles Barrett stays heel and nexus become face/tweener. This would probably be the strangest option. Raw doesn't need a face faction because to be honest, a face faction is pretty uninteresting. And if Barrett stays heel there's no one else besides Cena for him to really feud with.
3. Barrett refuses and is kicked out; when the dust settles Nexus remains heel and Barrett slowly moves towards tweener, maybe even slightly face. This is the one I think will actually happen...hopefully gradually, but because it has the most potential. Especially if at some point Barrett gets in a bind of some sort...maybe against former nexus members, and actually needs to enlist Cena's aid to help him out. Go the whole former enemies/reluctant partners with a common goal route. That could be interesting and could leave Barrett in more of a face position which, with the current raw roster, would give him more possibilities once this storyline is all over.

Nexus VS Cena has been WWE's best storyline over the past couple of months, and things keep heating up. Barrett is going to have to re-hire Cena next week. Barrett is going to need Nexus to protect him, because Cena made his intentions clear. He will continue to hunt Nexus, and Barrett will be his primary target. Cena's re-hrirng should set up some kind of match between these two at TLC.
As far as the state of Nexus goes, I think a breakup is getting closer and closer. There has been some signs of tension within this stable, and things came to a head last night. Although, there's one thing that scares me about all of this....David Otunga. He's been on Barrett's bad side for quite some time, and Otunga should still be pissed about having to lay down for the three count back when he was a tag team champion. Otunga seemed to take on the role of spokesman for Nexus last night, and I hope he won't be the one who takes over this stable. Barrett might be kicked out some where down the line. This would allow Otunga to take over as leader. I don't know what WWE sees in Otunga, but they obviously have big plans for him in the future.
I agree. Otunga, while charismatic, definitely not leadership material. Even if somehow the unthinkable happens and Barrett is kicked out of his own group, I cannot foresee Nexus lasting much longer with Otunga as leader. Sadly, his ego is his own worst enemy. That is one of the main reasons he did not win NXT, as well as his crappy wrestling skills. Given the fact the only reason he and Cena won the titles was due in large part to Cena taking the brunt of the work and then Otunga slides in for the cover. Maybe if things don't work out, he and Miz would make a good team. The Ego-Trippers. Aside from that, If Barrett gets kicked out of Nexus, he shouldn't be worried.

While each of them have some good points about them individually, as a whole they do make a pretty good impact. However, they are better suited as a dominant stable than as singles wrestlers. Barrett would have probably the best chance at a career with the most longevity. Husky Harris, and McGillicutty probably wouldn't do bad with the family name behind them and their talent isn't all that bad either, so they probably would get a bye on that alone. Gabriel is pretty decent in the ring as well, so he probably would last a while as well. However, the rest of them would be left in limbo as mid-card status or just being 'future endeavored' if not left on Superstars hell.

To me, options 2 and 3 would seem the more logical of the 3. But then again, in the WWE, anything goes. No matter what happens, we would hope that they would have greener pastures in store for the winner of Season 1 of NXT and the leader of the newest dominant group since NWO/or DX. I mean, I would hate to think that they would tease a break up of Nexus only to have him be overshadowed by the people that kicked him out. I mean, I guess time will only tell, but to me, at least, I think he's the most physically dominant in the group, and he was the winner of the NXT, and it would be absolutely ridiculous to have him ousted from a group and have the losers from the 'next big thing' show over shine him. I would think that they would be thinking Wade is going to be on to bigger and better feuds and have better opportunites ahead of him if this thought is what is in mind.
It surprised me, but i think this was a great call. Ive always felt that if Nexus were to disband in its current incarnation, it should be desolution from within, rather then an outside force. A stipulation match with a John Cena should not ultimately determine the fate of Nexus.
I realize that Cena is the motivation for this, but until now, Nexus has followed Barrett blindly. But it seems they've grown sick of him seemingly being "above" them, and not involved in the attacks against him. He's managed to virtually avoid it, so I think it makes good sense that the other Nexus members would eventually mutiny against him. It was a good call by creative to recognize this, and address it.
It should be interesting to see where this goes. Nexus will seemingly be safe is Barrett rehires Cena, but Barrett will be open for attack. It really will put the "We Are One" theme to the test, to see if the Nexus leader will put himself in harms way for the greater good of the group. Either way, it makes for good TV, and was an awesome cliffhanger.

I can eventually see a Nexus Vs Barrett and Cena option
Hear me out. Barrett accepts Nexus' ultimatum and re-hires Cena, The group kick him out anyway. Cena then beats down on Barrett without Nexus interference.
Nexus continue without a leader as they are all equal but they remain heel. The continue to attack John Cena and also start attacking Barrett.
Barrett then makes a desperate plea to Cena to help him . Cena reluctantly agrees and then the two have a match against Nexus..
Just an idea that I don't think many people have thought of..

I Am Nexus And Not Against them!
Let me just state this much, John Cena will have his job back by the end of RAW. Im guranteeing it, and if im wrong, you can call me out on it.
Now, Being a true lover boy of Nexus, And John Cena, I hope that nexus stays together. I love Otungas' mic skills, and think he has real talent to break away. That being said, I am predicting, Wade Barrett Rehires Cena. He then, apologizes to Nexus for the things he did, causing a "We are one" type storyline. It would add great depth to the tag division, which is mostly lack-luster. Anyone agree?

I pretty much don't care what happens. For months now, I've not liked where this Nexus angle has been going. Even with Nexus being in possession of John Cena and before hand, they always get their asses handed to them. I don't buy Nexus as a legitimate group at this point, and David Otunga being the leader will only prove my point further in why I think this Nexus angle sucks. At least Wade Barrett does a decent job as a leader, but there is NO redeeming factor about David Otunga.

Because I whine like an infant
When Wad was out of town (or whatever) & Otunga led them on "Smackdown", I thought they might be planting seeds of something. But when they added those other 2 guys & kept Otunga (& he even had a "ex-communication" stip match), I said, "There went that idea."
Truly sad thing is even after Nexus ends, Otunga shall remain 2nd-most-famous person in his family.

Then who is going to lead Nexus? David Otunga? He is mid carder at best. His wrestling and mic skills suck ass. The Nexus would better off disband without Wade as the leader. Also, it might force a Barrett or Nexus face turn, which would not turn out well.
The problem to me with this is, theres no icentive for wade to bring back cena, if he doesnt cena will make his life miserable, and if he brings him back he still get his ass kicked. Now onto the power struggle withing nexus between barret and otunga, is what i want to see next, this could really help otunga to developt a character. I know he can talk, well sort of, but he is crap in the ring. But its a good thing because is one more reason to see raw thins monday.

OK, I am tired of everyone ripping David Otunga..... now yes his wrestling skills are pretty shitty, at best, but his mic skills are better than some today. He is very moldable because he's still young, and not only that he is pretty talented overall. NO1 said all this shit about Batista, Hulk Hogan, or Goldberg when there shit-tastic matches stunk up the rings. Now I am not saying that David Otunga will be the next CM Punk or Daniel Bryan, but nobody gives him any credit, he is a good overall guy.

Didn't read past the first few posts, so excuse me if I repeat somethings... But I have something to throw into the pot.....
What if WWE is using this to turn Wade Barrett face? Think about it. Imagine if Barrett doesn't rehire Cena? Then, you'll most likely see Otunga lead the pack to tear down Barrett. Over the next month or so, Nexus would start attacking Barrett the way they attacked Cena and Barrett will be backed into a corner, and the only way to stand a chance is for him to rehire John Cena.
And here's the beauty of it, if they go this route, they open up the doors for a possible Miz and Barrett rivalry for the title. With the Miz and Barrett rivaling for the title, that give Miz some credentials to fall back on. If you ask me, I want Barrett out of Nexus. I can see him as a face if WWE plays their cards right.

Heres a logical thing to happen. Wade Barret calls out Cena and says he won't rehire him. The other five Nexus come out and surround the ring seemingly to attack Wade. Cena turns his back to leave when Wade attacks him. The other five Nexus get in and pull wade back and then like the heels they are, start attacking Cena. The whole Nexus join together and beat down Cena. Make the beat down so bad Cena say gets a "broken leg" or something. Then they can bring in Juan Cena is they still plan to do that.

Seeing David Otunga stepping up to Wade Barrett demanding him to rehire Cena or he's kicked out of Nexus. Are we seeing the break-up of Nexus and/or someone from Nexus or Nexus themselves turning face? I see it going down possibly as Barrett gets kicked from Nexus seeing he won't rehire Cena and Barrett makes a face turn. Then out of desperation sometime down the road, he hires Cena to fight off Nexus lead by Otunga. After that, we see Barrett and Cena feud again till mabye wrestlemania. Sounds stupid...I know, but anything can happen.
Any other thoughts or ideas of what may unfold tonight?

I think it might end tonight. The reason I think so is because Nexus lost the tag titles so to me that was a little hint.

They ought to do something to pull in viewers relating to Nexus seeing there is 2 mnf games tonight. So I don't see them breaking up tonight, but something may happen to swerve the storyline.

Nexus just debuted two new shirts, so I don't think that the entire angle will end tonight.
I do not like the fact that Otunga is being pushed as the ''new'' leader of Nexus, but he has a good look to him and who else could lead the group? I do think that Nexus will be splitting like the nWo did back in the day. Barrett will have his set and Otunga his. This could lead to more of the NXT participants joining the main roster, and push this youth movement the fed has going on right now.
Tonight I see Cena getting rehired and a match being set up for TLC. This whole angle has been at let down, I think they could have done so much more with it.

as another has stated I don't see tonight as the end of Nexus
i can see a possible face turn tonight. but NOT Wade Barrett. see a face turn from Otunga, Slater, & Gabriel and Having Barrett, Harris and McGillicutty being the heels with maybe Tarver returning to join the heels

I see John Cena getting rehired, and beating the crap out of all the Nexus members, and once it seems like Cena is getting the best of Nexus, Skip Sheffield (who is supposed to return soon) takes out Cena and the Nexus becomes dominant once again but once it seems like things are all good, Barrett becomes really mouthy and arrogant (maybe after a Rumble win) and he gets beaten out of the Nexus and the group crumbles and fully disbands. That's my expectations.
I dont expect Barrett to rehire Cena tonight. Barrett has been the driving force and absolute leader behind Nexus. It hasn't been the "all for one" mentality that they've preached, its been about Barrett and his agenda. He's used the other Nexus members in attempts to gain control in every way possible. I dont see Barrett just laying down to an ultimatum given by people hes seen all along as "subordinates."
My expectation is, as he has done all along, is for the mystery GM to intervene. Just as Nexus is about to "kick" Barrett out, the GM will chime in and say that Barrett has absolute power over Nexus. We could see a scenario similar to what we've seen with Cena, with Nexus following Barrett unwillingly until Barrett is the one who finally snaps and ends the group. Nexus began with Barrett, and will end with Barrett. It may end with Cena reluctantly working with the Nexus members against Barrett, but I dont see Nexus being done yet. They've yet to do the reveal as to why they attacked Undertaker, which I see being an issue that will be addressed before Nexus disbands. So this group starts with Barrett, and will end with him. Cena won't be re-hired tonight, it won't be that easy.

The undertaker angel? Maybe Shawn Michaels getting revenge running the nexus?
I think Otunga making things clear to Wade tonight after saying he clearly won't cut it as a singles star means the higher power may be revealed? Or Wade comes out with his new nexus (not sure if its too early for Skip and Tarver to return?) Either way I don't see this whole thing ending with Cena being re-hired.

I think it sucks, S-U-C-K-S. At first when Cena had to choose between doing the right thing and his career when Barrett challenged Orton for the title, I thought this would be an interesting angle. Now it has ended up being completely unnecessary and redundant. I mean everyone on here knew that Cena wasn't actually fired, but now every young fan of every age with either lick of sense knows it too.
How long was Cena out? 3 weeks? A month? Big freakin' whoopdedoo, he wasn't fired and he sure wasn't antagonized he was simply given a short break from in ring competition while getting to show up of course. A thank you is in order instead of an ass beating. This storyline had potential to be great, but it was utterly wasted and turned up useless. This angle picked up momentum and then was stopped dead in it's tracks, hell what other reason would we want to see Nexus get their ass beat? Their no longer a threat! They have failed everything they tried to do, how in the world are we gonna take them seriously? I now no longer care what happens at TLC, Cena beats the crap outta Barrett IDC, Barrett beats the crap outta Cena IDC, the two ally and make love in the middle of the ring IDC. Why? Because with this move Barrett and Nexus utterly failed as the antagonists. They didn't take anything from Cena, if it were me I'd simply laugh at them, hand signal the letter L on my forehead and walk away. I have a feeling that WWE creative had other plans but ended up scrapping the angle, and the match turned into a dud. If this was intentional, shame on them.
So from here after this I guess we'll have the implosion of Nexus, heel vs heel that's always fun. Unless you think the crowd is gonna get behind a face Otunga, haha yeah.
