A special treat tonight.. 2 blogs, yes I said 2 blogs in one day!!! So I wanted to talk about what I saw last night on Monday Night Raw. Specifically the angle of the new Nexus with it's current leader CM Punk. So a quick history of Nexus, Wade Barrett was the original leader of this faction. With Barrett as leader he would try to make the rest of the Nexus members prove themselves in order to be in the group. Eventually the remaining members were Barrett, David Otunga, Heath Slater, Justin Gabriel, Husky Harries and Michael McGillicutty. So after the TLC PPV when Super CENA dropped 15 chairs on top of Barrett, CM Punk stepped in to become the leader. Last week, CM Punk made a deal with Barrett that if he lost his match, he would be out of Nexus... Surprise, surprise, he lost. Cut to this week....
So CM Punk was in the ring and told the remaining members that they would have to prove themselves to be part of the new Nexus (which has awesome shirts by the way). First up was McGillicutty, and basically he was jumped into the group. He took an old school beat down, just like the good 'ol days. After that Harris took a whoopin' from 4 guys, the beat him like a government mule. Otunga had to slap Big Show and take the beating, which he did. Then cut to Gabriel and Slater who were supposed to beat each other with Ken do Sticks, but they hesitated and walked away. Towards the end of the show, CM Punk was on the Titan Tron and was acting like if he was going to jump off... of course he didn't..He then cut a promo on how he thought the crowd was 'stupid' for thinking he would do it, it was a great promo to gain more heat..now next week, CM Punk will face SuperCena...
Finally after a long time the WWE has a promising angle. CM Punk has stepped up to be the best performer they have (only because Chris Jericho is not currently there) He has great mic skills ans great wrestling skills. He was great as part of the Straight Edge Society and has that heel factor that the WWE needs now. The best thing they could do is have CM Punk and the Nexus beat SuperCena to kingdom come and them continue doing it... but knowing how the WWE is, SuperCena will probably beat them all and send them to the hospital.
I am actually looking forward to see where the WWE goes with this angle. If worked properly they could get as much heat as the NwO. I don't think it will reach that status but I think they have something here that could go on to be huge. So, let's see what happens next Monday night on RAW.
