Without Punk, What's Next For The Nexus?

As we all know, Nexus Leader, CM Punk is close to finishing his tenure with the WWE and will most likely leave the company in two weeks.  While that is another story altogether, this post focuses on the rest of the Nexus members.  When their fearless leader leaves what will become of the up and coming superstars of the Nexus?  While each of the members have shown strengths in the squared circle on their own, none of them have made a huge impact on the WWE universe yet.  I sincerely hope that Punk's underlings aren't left out to dry when Punk leaves the WWE.

CM Punk: Possibly The Best Of This Generation...

Now, let me just state that I have always been a fan of CM Punk and his work inside and outside of the ring.  His matches are always exciting and his promo's are close to untouchable by other superstars.  In light of the recent rant he went on on the most recent Raw, I have developed a new sense of respect for Punk.  While we don't know a whole lot of what went on behind the scenes during this rant, we do know that no one other than Punk knew what was going to be said and even though his method of conveying his issues are controversial, Punk had a lot of points that I happen to agree with.  In my opinion, CM Punk is one of the top ring performers today on both the Smackdown and Raw rosters.  I love every match that he puts on and his promos are always extremely entertaining.  With his most recent promo, Punk brought us back to the days of the "attitude" era and gave us a sense of realism when there has been close to no realism as of late.  I have always felt that Punk was one of the most underrated superstars in the WWE and I agree that his talents have not been properly recognized.  CM Punk deserves to be in one of the main events at next year's wrestlemania, but instead The Rock will headline next year's 'Mania and probably will not wrestle a single match before that.  Regardless of the outcome of the next few weeks, I applaud Punk for taking a chance and voicing his opinion and I also believe that  this will do more good than bad in the future of Punk's career.

Snitsky Perhaps Returning To WWE

Former WWE superstar, Gene Snitsky, was backstage at a recent Smackdown taping and there are multiple rumors that Snitsky has been offered a chance to return to the WWE.  I was never a huge Snitsky fan but I can see why WWE would be needing some more big guys on the roster.  To his credit, he can definitely carry a storyline.

WWE Decides NOT To Re-Sign Trevor Murdoch

Despite him having multiple un-aired appearances, WWE has decided that they will not offer Murdoch a new contract.  It is considered that Murdoch has failed his tryout matches, plain and simple.  Murdoch, obviously, was infuriated by this and has decided to quit wrestling all together, asking his twitter followers "anyone know of any job offers?"
