4. The Nexus
WWE NXT was pretty dire, let's face it. It was a spin on reality TV type shows that was so good it ended up on the Internet. But at least the first season lead to something - the original Nexus group. Lead by Wade Barrett (a star in the making) the group were a bunch of apparent nobodies (including Daniel Bryan for a week or two) who came from nowhere and destroyed everyone in their path. They were dominant, they were dangerous and more than anything they were over. Then WWE dropped the ball. And then they dropped it again. And again. And it wasn't long before the group lost all credibility leaving the majority of its members as a bunch of high profile jobbers. CM Punk breathed new life into the group for about 5 minutes before his launch to the next level, but what started out as something fresh and exciting ended up one of the biggest flops of the year.
Most Notable Members: Wade Barrett, Daniel Bryan, Skip 'Ryback' Sheffield
