Details about team nexus- The Nexus (later renamed the New Nexus) was a heel stable in the professional wrestling promotion, WWE, that competed on its Raw brand. The group originally consisted of all eight rookies of NXT season one and shifted their roster several times throughout their existence. Their initial goal was to obtain WWE contracts for all members—save for original Nexus leader Wade Barrett, who was already guaranteed a contract for winning NXT. The group went on to antagonize the Raw roster, with John Cena as their main focus, who forcibly became a member of Nexus via a match stipulation at Hell in a Cell. Cena eventually exited the group by being fired at Survivor Series, but was later rehired by Barrett. By the start of 2011, Wade Barrett was exiled from the group by CM Punk, who became the groups new leader. Under Punks leadership, the group was renamed to the New Nexus and became a tight-knit group dedicated to one another by faith. Under the leadership of both Barrett and Punk, the Nexus most noticeable trait was that all members wore a black armband bearing the groups trademark black and yellow N logo; David Otunga was the only constant member. Throughout its existence, the group won the WWE Tag Team Championships three times and Punk won the WWE Championship in his final match with the stable.
