So is the Cena/Nexus thing done with?

[Perpetual Nirvana]

Given how little interaction, ie. none, Cena had with Nexus on Raw, is Cena eliminating 4/5ths of the Nexus from the Rumble supposed to be the payoff? Or do you think, like I do, that it'll be picked up again once Cena wins the title from The Miz at Wrestlemania, because you know that's happening.

It seems weird it wasn't even mentioned.

I could see Orton feud with Nexus now.

And by feud you mean dominate and make them look like losers.

I don't pay close enough attention I know, but was it ever explained why Punk/Nexus attacked Orton during his match with the Miz?

Or why Miz randomly attacks Cena during the Rumble?

[Big L]

It appears so

is there other any way to book a stable leaded by Punk?

[Ryback on a Pole!]

I'm kinda disapointed we didn't get another Punk vs Cena match.

This time a good 15-20 minute match with a clean finish to end the feud for good.

At this point the Nexus really needs to be put out of it's misery.

[Marky Mark]

It's stupid how getting thrown out of the Rumble made Punk and everyone in Nexus shrug and say"Well I guess he wins." Makes no sense with all of Punk's hatred towards Cena.

It's not all bad though. Orton's Psycho Face gimmick is perfect for a feud with Punk, and unlike a match with Cena, Punk might actually win. Orton doesn't need the rub, but Punk and Nexus do. Punk has still lost every feud since Hardy. Going over Orton would help Punk and Nexus' credibility. They can have Cena win the title at Mania and have all the fans go home happy, and save Punk vs. Cena for another big PPV as a title feud. They've still yet to have a match with a clean finish.

He doesn't want to face Cena and Cena was vulnerable , pretty self explanatory.

I may have missed it too, but I'm hoping Punk/Nexus cost Orton the WWE title as payback for Orton punting Punk backstage and thus maing him unable to defend the World title in the Elimination Chamber a few years ago.

Um, Cena doesn't need the rub either and it never stopped him. And if anything, Orton has been booked even stronger than Cena has. Running off when the rest of the Nexus came out is the most vulnerable he's looked since he got the Viper gimmick.

At least Orton's presence isn't as annoying or cringe worthy as Cenas domination though. I always feel when Cena "overcomes the odds" it appears to be a heat killer.

Orton, in my opinion, at least seems human and vunerable where it allows the audience to get behind him and it doesn't make you feel as though he's going to no sell attacks, hulk up, and then dominate them in the process. I've always found Orton's psycho face/heel gimmick to be more interesting than Cena.

[Rolent Tex]

To tell the truth, I think Orton would be a better feud for Nexus than Cena. WWE doesn't book Orton like he's freaking invincible. Instead of a one on one Orton vs Punk match at Mania, I'd love to see Orton have to get help to face Nexus at Mania. I wouldn't mind a small Legacy reunion to take on Nexus, but Cody Rhodes has a date with Rey Mysterio at Mania it seems. (Kudos to Rey Rey for handpicking Cody as his opponent.) How about maybe Orton and some WCW guys vs Nexus?

Cole explained the second one pretty clearly. It was done to assure that Cena would get to Wresltemania. OF course, anyone with a brain can realize he doesn't need the Rumble title shot to get Miz at Wrestlemania.

[randomranter]

Yeah, Cena's done dominating a 6 on 1 feud. It's now orton's turn to turn them into his personal bitches and make them even less relevant.

[FUNK_US/BRODUS]

Who cares? Cena vs Nexus stopped being interesting the week after Survivor Series when Cena no sold being fired.

okay seriously....Nexus were owning that Rumble and then Cena enters and eliminates ALL OF THEM.

how the hell is that not doing the first and making them look like the second???

at least Orton is looking to be systematic about it.

but to answer the OP i agree i thought it was weird that suddenly Punk isn't retaliating on Cena, esp with the weeks, er, months of endless buildup that leads to...................................................
