    Default Nexus Might Have Been Led By ..

    WWE officials considered John Morrison, Randy Orton and Sheamus as potential leaders for the new Nexus before Vince McMahon decided on CM Punk as the leader.

    Vince is very high on the new Nexus right now and everyone who matters behind the scenes is praising the group since the changes were made.

    Officials had wanted to remove Wade Barrett as the leader going back into late Summer of 2010.

    tbh i dont think they woulda worked as leaders

    orton: already led a failed group, and just doesnt fit into his gimmick

    JoMo: not heel enough or believable to control a power group

    shemaus: might have worked but he is in hot water with management

    John Morrison? I don't see that working at all. Orton maybe, but it'd just end up as another Legacy. Sheamus could have worked, still being a newer guy himself, but Punk is definitely the best choice and I'm glad that's the route they went.

    Orton's inherent lack of charisma would have killed it. Sheamus would have made storyline sense and Morrison well would have been interesting to see that although he can't talk so yeah

    If Kenpachi used his Bankai, Armageddon, Ragnarok, and every other form of the apocalypse would march from the depths of hell with their demonic legions of death.... then take one look at him and turn tail and run.

    Punk's the perfect choice, obviously.

    CM Punk is the best choice out of those listed. Morrison would be an awful idea as the Leader as he hardly shows any personality and his charisma level is ridiculously low. Plus, I don't believe that anyone thinks of him as a credible heel. He was a great heel with Melina, but the lack of a sidekick there (Melina used her personality to get Nitro over), he's just got his wrestling ability.

    Sheamus would be an Okay idea, but Im still not sold. Sheamus seems to have a lack of things to do, except for wrestle the same guys such as Morrison and Orton. I think WWE should contemplate moving Sheamus to SmackDown, perhaps turning him face, and give him a push. Sheamus was a guy that, last year, I really thought was a guy who would be in the main event for years to come, but WWE have decided to place a ridiculous dress on him.

    Orton leading Nexus would be a pretty cool idea, but WWE need him as a stone-cold style face. Orton is a guy who doesn't show too much emotion, but can go from calm and collected to striking at any given moment. WWE are using the RKO are a Stunner-type move, which can hit you at any moment.

    Punk works, especially considering his style is similar to Jericho's heel character of 08 where he spoke calmly and slowly and he was a credible heel.
