You have Bad News Barrett come out one night and say the Nexus made a way bigger impact than the Shield ever has. Shield then say they have bad news for Barrett and triple power bomb him. Next week Barrett and Rybaxle attack the Shield and get the upper hand.
Or instead of Rybaxle you could make a claim for Gabriel, Otunga, Mason Ryan
Not Darren Young or Slater though they're fine where they're at.
Obviously not Bray Wyatt.

Nexus needs to stay dead and buried. It was fun while it lasted, but there's no need to reanimate the corpse.

Shield vs Barrett and Rybaxel would be good as a one off match, but not as a feud.

No, because The Shield are amazing and The Nexus are lame.

Yeah Darren Young is fine where he's at with his ACL injury and all.

As a squash match type feud? Sure.

Perhaps as a one night deal, with Steph going to Barrett and telling him to get his boys back together to make sure that The Shield are beat up/injured heading into their match against Evolution. Let them come out to Nexus music and have a competitive match, but ultimately get beat by The Shield. I don't think any sort of Nexus reunion has legs outside of that, unless you were to build several guys up again first.

A Nexus reunion is just waiting to happen in my own opinion, if it ever does though you have to keep it to the original group - we just need Gabriel and Young to get colourful gimmicks and then they can be added to the mega stable of:
Bad News Barrett
Ryback
Rock-Star Slater
Lawyer Otunga
If nothing else it would be a colourful team.

Oh no, it's a team who have beaten the biggest faces in the business and are currently feuding with the three top heels in the business. How will they possibly cope against some mid-carders and a bunch of guys who haven't won a match in a year?

The Shield - Steamrolling everyone in their path for over a year.
The Nexus - Jobbing to everyone in their path 2010-2011.

If they somehow take that Public Enemy vs. Acolytes match from 1999 and rework the spots so that they work in a six man context, or a 3 vs. 8 context, and The Shield DESTROYS Nexus, then, yeah I'd like to see that.

The Shield is pretty much what the nexus should have been.
Problem with nexus was Sheffield, Tarver and Barrett were really the only ones to me that seemed like legitimate threats in the group.

It could be ok for a one week thing, especially now where it could sort of fit into the Shield vs. Evolution feud, then it could work. Barrett and Rybaxel can go to Triple H and say they want a shot at the Shield to prove Nexus was a more destructive force than the Shield.

The only way I would be happy with it if it was just Nexus represented by Bryan, BNB and Wyatt. Even within that there is problems with Bray Wyatt not being the same person/character as Husky Harris in Kayfabe, and BNB being the overly happy at sad news alter ego of Wade Barrett (face/heel alignment as well obviously with super face Bryan,heel Wyatt and Barret, i would want them to sell it as a strange bedfellows vs shield match as they like to use that term in the past) but hypothetically if it was to happen I wouldn't even have the announcers or a promo selling it as such, just have it as these three guys are teaming up together for a one off to face Shield in thee main event of an episode of Raw. Although I do like Shark idea as well looking at it  |

No, Nexus died when the rise of Miz as top heel wound up being a terminal form of cancer and Dr. Cena had to take it off life support. Let it rest.

A lot of you guys seem down on this, but I think this would be a great short feud for The Shield, and it'd be cool to get Wade Barret some villain cred back.
It would actually be a pretty easy story to tell. Have Wade ask the struggling Authority for a chance at stopping the shield, and then have him unite every heel midcarder currently not doing anything. I think they played up the resentment the rest of the roster has about being shown up by The Shield, they should continue with that.
It doesn't even have to be all the original members (though Rybaxel are an obvious choice). Just have Wade Barret speak menacingly and give him a bunch of goons to play the numbers game with and you'll have a great one-month villain for The Shield.
