WWE Wants John Cena in Nexus For Months, UFC Idea to Promote ‘Mania?

Often times, WWE angles originally intended to last for the long haul are cut short due to audibles on the creative team’s part. WWE does not always script a weekly vision into its long-term plans, and if angles start to lose a clear direction, they can lose heat to such an extent that moving to a quick conclusion is the most desirable outcome.

As of press time, that is not yet the case with the John Cena-Nexus angle. According to F4WOnline.com, WWE officials remain confident that the angle has enough legs to run through Royal Rumble, as was originally planned.

At that point, the angle would be concluded in a way that sets up a match for WrestleMania.

–Aware of how well UFC pay-per-views have been performing relative to television ratings, WWE is undoubtedly looking into how the mixed martial arts giant so successfully converts its television viewers into PPV buyers. The Wrestling Observer Newsletter says that WWE might develop shows similar in concept to UFC Primetime as hype machines for the main events of next year’s WrestleMania.

  1. I have not been interested in wrestling for a long long time, Mostly because of TWO MUCH HYPE!! First it was the Four Hourse men, Then NWO! Then The Main Event Mafia, and now NEXUS! And they are all basicly the SAME BS! The NWO was about running and control WCW! And when WCW was showing, it seemed that Every Wrestler in WCW was NWO! I mean people lets get a Grip on Reality!! I watch all those Idiots on WWE how they get so excited! If John Cena was any kind of a Man! He would Quit WWE! And go to another wrestling company I’m Sure TNA would love to have him. I mean how much Money do you need to be Embaraced every day!

  2. I have a lot of Respect for John Cena! But John how much money does it take? To be Embaraced Day by Day? If they, The WWE need you to work for them that way! In my opinion YOU must not have Respect for your self! I guess they just new you to Preform like a little Monkey with a little music machine!

  3. I have already lost interest in this bs. If this goes after survivior series, I will finally quit watching raw. Last ppv was the first one I didn’t buy in eight years because I am tired of always the same seneriose. The writers do the same thing every few years just with different characters. (hbk- jbl) the ray masterio thing, ted d and Vergil. And so many more. Get some new material for god sake. All the money these writers make and can’t come up with a new story line!

  4. am a big fan of tha nexus,n cena finally on nexus,l love it.the nexus already have accomplished their mission ‘sendin a message to wwe management’ this is ths prime of this dudes.love them.

  5. The only personal who should be embarrassed
    are the ones who spell it “embaraced.” John Cena has a storyline. Everyone should know wrestling is for entertainment purposes only and is scripted, which means the outcomes are determined ahead of time.
    em·bar·rass/em?bar?s/Verb1. Cause (someone) to feel awkward, self-conscious, or ashamed.
    2. Be caused financial difficulties.
