** Meh, not really. For the past couple of weeks he's been shown to be sympathetic towards the Nexus, so it's not too much of a stretch to think he'd join them.



* {{Foreshadowing}}: If one were to pay attention to the weeks Punk spent on commentary, Punk wore a UsefulNotes/CharlesManson shirt while still at the announce table. It may or may not have been intentional, but it was a hint nonetheless.
** [[FunWithAcronyms Charles Manson]] Punk?

* HijackedByGanon

to:

* HijackedByGanonHijackedByGanon: Punk was already a well-established heel before he took over the Nexus, being a three-time world champion and the man who kicked Wrestling/JeffHardy out of WWE. In fact, with all the top talent that departed (or in the case of Edge and Orton, made a HeelFaceTurn) in 2010, a good argument can be made that he was the ''real'' top heel of the company and him usurping Barrett was simply him reclaiming his rightful place on the totem pole.

%%* IdenticalStranger: To Wrestling/{{Batista}}

to:

%%* IdenticalStranger: To Wrestling/{{Batista}}* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Was accused of being this to Wrestling/{{Batista}} by no less than Wrestling/ChrisJericho, owing to his very strong resemblance to the Animal. The fans noticed as well, leading to him getting "BATISTA!" chants all the time. The fact that he debuted only less than a year after Batista legitimately left the company certainly didn't help.

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: Husky stands out, from his old school ring style to his different build.

* FanNickname: [[TheStarscream Starscream]]



* TheStarscream: He and Barrett don't exactly agree on how Nexus should be used.
** For added bonus, [[{{Expy}} he actually acts like Starscream]] from the 80s cartoon. He very vocally threatens to rebel against Wade, '''frequently.'''
*** So much so that Starscream has become his FanNickname.

* UnfortunateNames: [=McGillicutty=]? Seriously? That has to be the least intimidating name ever. Despite heavily promoting that he was the son of Curt Hennig, WWE promoted the name as him using his mother's maiden name to avoid being in Hennig's shadow.

** He then went on to become one of the most over wrestlers in the entire company, his reactions ''dwarfing'' those that Wrestling/JohnCena ever got. He's the most over since Wrestling/StoneColdSteveAustin and Wrestling/TheRock and became the Undisputed WWE Championship at ''WrestleMania XXX'' over Wrestling/RandyOrton and the returning ''Wrestling/{{Batista}}''. Looking back at it now, getting kicked out of the Nexus was probably the best thing to happen to Bryan's career.
