10 Wrestling Stables That Never Fulfilled Their Potential

Perhaps the greatest tragedy in wrestling over the last decade or so. Despite Cena since seemingly winning back the love of the IWC with his charity work, willingness to put over young talent and edgier stories with the likes of Reigns and Bray Wyatt, his burial of WWE's hottest group still springs harsh whispers of bitterness and disdain.

When the Nexus debuted in the PG era's greatest debut, they put the entire WWE universe on notice. In June 2010, the octet, who had been practically humiliated on the gameshow that NXT was back then, rushed the main event of Cena vs. Punk, savagely attacking them, Punk's manager Luke Gallows, the commentary team, the timekeeper and ring announcer, and even the set, tearing the ring asunder.

Whilst Daniel Bryan's firing for choking Justin Roberts with his tie set the group back, the group still combined brutes like Skip 'Ryback' Sheffield and Michael Tarver, and highflyers such as Justin Gabriel and Heath Slater, all spearheaded by the dastardly British leader Wade Barrett. Yet, when their chance came at Summerslam, backstage shenanigans saw super Cena prevail practically single-handed. Despite intriguing storylines revolving around the recruitment of Cena and the expulsion of Barrett by CM Punk of all people, the Nexus quietly died during the Summer of Punk, with all bar the Voice of the Voiceless fading into midcard obscurity at best.
