...Brilliant in Hindsight?

[Citizen Zero]

Looking back over CM Punk's Nexus coup...I have to admit, whether he planned it or not, Barrett came out of it smelling like a rose.

I mean...he's pretty much getting a fresh start on SD with most what's left of the original Nexus backing him up plus an impressive new addition.

Meanwhile Punk's been left behind on RAW with an obvious Starscream and two jobbers and all of the anti-Nexus crosshairs firmly pointed at him.

Granted, we don't know what the future will bring, but right now Wade's looking like he's got the better deal.

I was saying before all this turned out: They probably want to build up Wade on Smackdown. They probably want to build up Punk on RAW. It's essentially what's happened in the last week(s).

But no. Everyone's..getting...buried...that's the go-to-answer here.

I definitely like Wade's Nexus better than Punk's right now but I'm not gonna draw any conclusions until WWE work out the kinks with Punk's. Hard to say whether there are plans for the remaining members or if we're yet to see some shifts. I'd really like to see Otunga replaced by Skip Sheffield when he comes back, but I know that'll never happen. I see a real power trio in Husky, Punk and Sheffield though.

Yeah, going to Smackdown made sense for Wade. My only issue is putting him with Show rather than a bigger name like Edge or Rey.

I would still prefer Wade being on Raw, that's just me.

Pretty much. Every time someone's favorite wrestler loses a match, buried. Doesn't matter if it was a highly competitive match. Or against someone in midst of a big push. Or building up a feud.
