* AntiClimax[=/=]InvincibleHero: The end of the Team WWE vs. Team Nexus match at ''[=SummerSlam=]'' 2010. Thanks to PPV time constraints, we get an extremely awkward finish to this particular match. Wade Barrett hits a DDT on John Cena on the exposed concrete on the floor and throws him back into the ring. He tags in Gabriel so he can finish Cena with the 450 Splash...only for Cena to move out of the way and pin Gabriel. Then Barrett comes in and immediately gets caught in the STF and taps out. All of that happened in about a two minute span, so it came off as though Cena just shrugged off a DDT on concrete to make the two most talented members of Nexus look like total tools.

Since then, The Nexus blazed a trail of destruction, terrorizing both ''Raw'' and ''[[Wrestling/{{WWESmackDown}} SmackDown]]'' to make a name for themselves (part of a larger plan, including making Wade Barrett the WWE Champion). Nobody, from John Cena to Sheamus to Barrett's "Pro" Wrestling/ChrisJericho to even Wrestling/BretHart and [[Wrestling/VinceMcMahon Vince [=McMahon=]]], was safe from their wrath.

Daniel Bryan was booted out of the group following its initial attack on ''Raw'' (for reasons to be explained below), Darren Young and Michael Tarver were excommunicated from the group following failures in the ring, Skip Sheffield was stated by a WWE.com article to no longer be a member for failing the group by getting injured, John Cena left the group upon his "firing" from WWE, and Wade Barrett was ostensibly excommunicated from the group by CM Punk himself in the very first Raw of 2011. Heath Slater and Justin Gabriel followed the next week after refusing to go through with CM Punk's initiation into the New Nexus. On the Raw following the Royal Rumble, Husky Harris was written out via a punt to the head from RandyOrton. Then in late February and early March respectively, Michael [=McGillicutty=], David Otunga, and Mason Ryan were written out the same way. However, Otunga, [=McGillicutty=] and Ryan returned on the 4/13/2011 edition of ''RAW'' to cost Orton a victory over Dolph Ziggler in a #1 contender's gauntlet match, and then beat the hell out of him post-match. With Punk's contract expiring, followed by his subsequent return & feud with John Cena, Ryan's injury in June, and Otunga and [=McGillicutty=] receiving new music & a new Titantron; The Nexus effectively ceased to exist on 7/29/11.

* CurbstompBattle: The Nexus vs the team of Yoshi Tatsu, Jerry Lawler, the Hart Dynasty, Goldust, Mark Henry, and Evan Bourne in a 7-on-7 Elimination Tag match on ''Raw'' in August 2010. The Nexus didn't suffer ''a single elimination''.
* DeusExMachina: So a bunch of rookies who could barely hold their own against the likes of William Regal are suddenly able to blow through John Morrison and go toe to toe with five star main eventers like Jericho and Edge despite showing barely any growth?

*** This held true until the 12/6/2010 ''Raw'', where Barrett ordered The Nexus to attack JohnCena, and they left instead. When Barrett confronted his men, they gave him an ultimatum, get Cena rehired or Barrett would be kicked out of the group. Ironically, Cena was fired because he refused to follow a Wade Barrett order, and he got his job back because the rest of Nexus did not follow a Wade Barrett order.

* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Remember Michael Tarver, perennial loser who tapped out to drinking soda? Remember Skip Sheffield, wacky Good Ol' Boy more interested in getting his catchphrases over than listening to his WWE Pro? Remember Justin Gabriel, white-meat babyface with a cool finish and a winning smile? Yeah, those guys are gone now.

** TheEvilGenius: Michael [=McGillicutty=] - he did get all the NXT season 2 rookies to beat on Kaval and fight Kofi, M.V.P, Mark Henry, Zack Ryder and John Morrison, as well as being trained by his father and grandfather Larry Hennig and Mr. Perfect.

* UnderwearOfPower

*** The Corre adamantly denied attacking Teddy Long, and [[NotMeThisTime it turned out to be true]], as Dolph Ziggler was eventually revealed to be the one that put Teddy Long out. However, the timing was such that people did make that connection, and it made The Corre seem more powerful.

** Speaking of Otunga, his show name was "Punk" in ''ILoveNewYork''.

* HeyItsThatGuy: You know "Punk," the guy who tried to win New York's heart on the second season of ''ILoveNewYork''? He became a wrestler and joined the Nexus.

* DefectorFromDecadence: Justin Gabriel & Heath Slater.

** Since that time, Daniel Bryan and Darren Young were excommunicated from the group. In addition, the other members let Michael Tarver get decimated by Cena, and since that same episode, Otugna and Barrett were showing signs of dissension. It would seem that they may not be as fire forged as we first thought.

* HijackedByGanon: Averted - In their third week, [[Wrestling/VinceMcMahon Vince [=McMahon=]]] ''tried'' to take credit for the Nexus, after they attacked Raw GM Wrestling/BretHart & forced him to leave his posistion as GM. The Nexus promptly attacked him, too.

* FinishingMove: Punk's Go 2 Sleep, Otunga's standing spinebuster, [=McGillicutty's=] [=McGillicutter=], Husky Harris's Running Senton Splash, and Mason Ryan's Big Boot/Spear/Side Effect. In many of the group assaults since the New Nexus began, [=McGillicutty=] and Harris' finishers have followed each other ([=McGillicutty=] hits someone with the [=McGillicutter=], then Husky hits the Senton immediately after).

* FinishingMove: Wade Barrett's Wasteland, Heath Slater's jumping STO, Justin Gabriel's 450 Splash, and Ezekiel Jackson's Lariat and the Book of Ezekiel (a standing one-arm side slam).

* BreakupBreakout: You'd think Wade Barrett would have the most successful post-Nexus career, right? '''Wrong.''' Fast forward three years later, and Barrett is less prominently featured on TV than [[Wrestling/BryanDanielson the first person kicked out of Nexus]], [[Wrestling/{{Ryback}} the first member of Nexus's most iconic line=up to be taken off TV]], and the [[Wrestling/CurtisAxel two]] [[Wrestling/TheWyattFamily people]] who joined Nexus months into its existence.

** Of course, Slater and Gabriel eventually split from Wade and were heading towards being TrueCompanions, but one bad loss to the Usos split them up as well.

The first "season" saw NXT Rookies Wrestling/WadeBarrett, Michael Tarver, David Otunga, [[Wrestling/{{Ryback}} Skip Sheffield]], [[Wrestling/PrimeTimePlayers Darren Young]], Heath Slater, Wrestling/JustinGabriel, and - last but not least - [[Wrestling/BryanDanielson Daniel Bryan]] fighting against each other and the Pros in matches, competing in different challenges (including a promo contest), and generally attempting to get themselves over with the crowd. About halfway through the first "season", Rookies started getting eliminated...but some rookies returned to NXT to speak out against the eliminations and the Pros, saying the Pros had offered little help in the competition. Eventually, Wade Barrett won the competition. And then six days later...'''''all hell broke loose.'''''

During a main event match between Wrestling/CMPunk and Wrestling/JohnCena on the June 7 2010 edition of ''[[Wrestling/{{WWERaw}} Raw]]'', WadeBarrett started making his way down to the ring; this was not altogether curious, since it's a longstanding pro wrestling tradition for heels with a title shot on their hands to "scout" the competition. The observant fan may have noticed the yellow armband he was wearing with a black "N" printed on it.

* FollowTheLeader: In-{{Kayfabe}} example - the NXT Season 2 "Rookies" (minus the season's winner, Kaval) decided to stage their own riot on the final episode of their season, which would presumably have led to a similar stable. Unfortunately, their riot was a terrible version of the original NXT Riot, and the idea was quietly shelved. Two of the more promising Season 2 rookies, [=Michael McGillicutty=] and Husky Harris (the sons of "Mr. Perfect" Curt Hennig and Mike "IRS" Rotuna, respectively), have since joined Nexus proper.

*** While ironically, two sets of Unified Tag Team Champions did come out of Nexus' roster - Justin Gabriel and Heath Slater (once in Nexus and once in the Corre), and the team of David Otunga and Michael McGillicutty (under CMPunk's leadership as the New Nexus). Actually, you can also add [[Wrestling/JohnCena Cena]] [[WTHCastingAgency and Otunga]], as they were the ones that laid down for Gabriel and Slater to win the titles the first time.

* HeyItsThatGuy: Punk's first new recruit for the "New" Nexus is none other than Goliath from ''{{Gladiators}}''

** Smarks were already drawing comparisons between the Nexus and the Wre3stling/NewWorldOrder since the group formed and the IWC has already given the new stable ("The Corre") the FanNickname of "Nexus Wolfpac", in a nod to the different branches of the nWo. It doesn't help that The Corre on the first night already carried out the Nexus MO of [[strike: putting the GM out of commission]], surrounding a main eventer for a beatdown, and said star being on the receiving end of everyone's finisher.

** Most people complain that [[XtremeKoolLetterz Corre is spelt with two R's]]... But it's short for ''Correlation'', "A reciprocal, parallel or complementary relationship between two or more comparable objects"... Which actually describes the group fairly accurately.

* MyFriendsAndZoidberg: Essentially, the group can be described as the three of the four most talented members of the original Nexus (the fourth one being Wrestling/DanielBryan), and [[ScaryBlackMan Ezekiel]] [[TheJuggernaut Jackson]].

* ChekhovsGunp[=/=]HilariousInHindsight: Wade Barrett promised the winds of change would be blowing through the WWE when he started the original Nexus with a WhamEpisode. Take a look [[TheFarmerAndTheViper what CM Punk has done in the months since Capitol Punishment]] while the New Nexus quietly disbanded.

During a main event match between CMPunk and JohnCena on the June 7 2010 edition of ''[[WWERaw Raw]]'', WadeBarrett started making his way down to the ring; this was not altogether curious, since it's a longstanding pro wrestling tradition for heels with a title shot on their hands to "scout" the competition. The observant fan may have noticed the yellow armband he was wearing with a black "N" printed on it.

Since then, The Nexus blazed a trail of destruction, terrorizing both ''Raw'' and ''[[WWESmackDown SmackDown]]'' to make a name for themselves (part of a larger plan, including making Wade Barrett the WWE Champion). Nobody, from John Cena to Sheamus to Barrett's "Pro" ChrisJericho to even BretHart and VinceMcMahon, was safe from their wrath.

After ''TLC 2010'', The Nexus disappeared for a week...only to come back to ''Raw'' on the last show of 2010, announce they were under "new management", and beat down John Cena once more - leading to TheReveal that CMPunk was now the new leader of The Nexus.

Then at Wrestlemania, they lost in 30 seconds to TheBigShow's team. Shortly after, Ezekiel Jackson was kicked out of the group for being his own man. Jackson responded by eventually taking Barrett's IC Title. Barrett began leaving Gabriel and Slater to fight his battles for him during this time, which led to them ditching him to form a separate tag team, leaving Barrett on his own and ending the Corre. Tropes used in The Corre follow this section.

* AntiClimax / InvincibleHero: The end of the Team WWE vs. Team Nexus match at ''[=SummerSlam=]'' 2010. Thanks to PPV time constraints, we get an extremely awkward finish to this particular match. Wade Barrett hits a DDT on John Cena on the exposed concrete on the floor and throws him back into the ring. He tags in Gabriel so he can finish Cena with the 450 Splash...only for Cena to move out of the way and pin Gabriel. Then Barrett comes in and immediately gets caught in the STF and taps out. All of that happened in about a two minute span, so it came off as though Cena just shrugged off a DDT on concrete to make the two most talented members of Nexus look like total tools.

* ArchEnemy: JohnCena was the most prominent, but the Nexus managed to have the ''entire WWE roster'' fall under this at one point.

* BrokenRecord: MichaelCole for some reason mentions the fact that Justin Gabriel is South African in almost every single match he's in.

* HijackedByGanon: Averted - In their third week, VinceMcMahon ''tried'' to take credit for the Nexus, after they attacked Raw GM BretHart & forced him to leave his posistion as GM. The Nexus promptly attacked him, too.
** CMPunk would take over leadership of the Nexus after ''TLC 2010''.
* KarmaHoudini: Averted by Wade Barrett; After his match at Survivor Series and firing JohnCena, he gets a WWE title shot the very next night on RAW. He even had TheNexus attack current WWE Champion RandyOrton [[InTheBack from behind]], for a little reassurance that he would win. But unfortunately for him, LaserGuidedKarma kicked in and JohnCena jumped the barricade mid-match [[TheDogBitesBack to hit him with an Attitude Adjustment]], allowing Orton to pick up the victory. [[YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle And then]]...[[TheMiz AAAAAAAAAAAAAWESOOOOOOME.]]
** Later played straight, when TheUndertaker returned on the 02-21-11 episode of ''{{RAW}}'', and didn't even so much as ''look'' at the men who helped Wrestler/{{Kane}} bury him alive several months earlier.
*** It should be noted that Undertaker's return occured after the New Nexus[=/=]Corre split, and with the exception of Otunga, The New Nexus weren't involved. However, The Corre were also at the show to defend the newly won Tag Team titles.
* KickTheDog / ForTheEvulz: The brutal beatdown of Ricky Steamboat and other WWE Legends in the middle of a plug for Ricky's new DVD set was probably the Nexus's most heinous act to date. The next week, Skip Sheffield commented on it and said they did it just for fun.
* KickTheSonOfABitch: CMPunk literally kicks Wade Barrett out of Nexus

* MortonsFork: The Free or Fired match at ''Survivor Series 2010''. If John Cena declares Wade Barrett the winner, he is free from his duties to The Nexus. If John Cena declares RandyOrton the winner, he would be fired from the WWE. Even TakingAThirdOption was not a good plan, as that was merely calling the match down the middle and letting fate decide Cena's future instead of intentionally siding with one of the two competitors.
** And that is just looking at it from Cena's perspective. Looking at it through the perspective of an impartial onlooker, if JohnCena declared Wade the winner, he would win the WWE title and almost assuredly force The Nexus's two biggest rivals against each other [[ArchEnemy (and they never liked]] [[TheRival each other to being with).]] If Cena were to declare Orton the winner, the biggest thorn in the side of Wade Barrett and The Nexus would be forced into retirement, and the morale of the locker room and the WWE Universe would be devastated in the process.
* MotiveDecay: Early on, Nexus made it clear they were only using JohnCena as a stepping stone toward their "bigger picture" due to his position and harbored no real ill will toward him. Then the bigger picture subject dropped and Nexus became solely about terrorizing Cena.

** Made especially clear when Barrett came out to this song for amatch during Tribute to the Troops and was booed by the soldiers there.
* PowerStable: The first major one in WWE since the dissolution of Evolution.

** EnemyMine: This all-star team included the likes of {{Edge}} and ChrisJericho working together with John Cena. This team was so volatile that leading up to [=SummerSlam=], Edge and Jericho left the team and rejoined in a two week span. The only thing that kept the team together was the mutual hate for The Nexus.
*** A few weeks later, the five remaining members (Young had been kicked out, Sheffield was injured) of The Nexus faced Cena, Edge, Jericho, Sheamus & RandyOrton in a 10-man tag team match, with all of the opponents of The Nexus being booked to face each other (and Barrett) in a Six Pack Challenge for the WWE title. However, this time the results were radically different, as Edge and Jericho got themselves eliminated intentionally within the first minute of the match.

*** While ironically, two sets of Unified Tag Team Champions did come out of Nexus' roster - Justin Gabriel and Heath Slater (once in Nexus and once in the Corre), and the team of David Otunga and Michael McGillicutty (under CMPunk's leadership as the New Nexus). Actually, you can also add [[JohnCena Cena]] [[WTHCastingAgency and Otunga]], as they were the ones that laid down for Gabriel and Slater to win the titles the first time.

** {{Lampshaded}} by John Cena and he is the only exception.

** The 12/27 episode of RAW - David Otunga apparently leads Nexus to the ring to [[BlatantLies apologize to Cena and offer a truce]]. [[GenreSavvy Cena turns him down.]] Otunga leads Nexus halfway back up the ramp. Then, suddenly, orders the rest of his teammates to storm the ring and beat down Cena once again, each of them hitting Cena with their FinishingMove in quick succession. Then CMPunk, who was essentially the reason that Cena had come down to the ring in the first place, shows up...and hits Cena with the [[FinishingMove GTS (Go To Sleep)]]. He gets a chair, starts to whack Cena with it, stops... and then sits down in the chair, contemplating a Nexus armband for a moment. With a smile on his face, he slips the armband onto his bicep, establishing himself as the newest member - and as the audience found out next week, the new leader - of The Nexus.

*** He did. With new Nexus leader CMPunk not only costing Barrett a shot at the WWE title, but ripping Barrett's own Nexus armband off in the process as one hell of an exclamation point.

* ArchEnemy: JohnCena to start with, but they quickly moved onto RandyOrton.
* ChekhovsGun / HilariousInHindsight: Wade Barrett promised the winds of change would be blowing through the WWE when he started the original Nexus with a WhamEpisode. Take a look [[TheFarmerAndTheViper what CM Punk has done in the months since Capitol Punishment]] while the New Nexus quietly disbanded.

* {{Cult}}: ''Hoo boy.'' The [[HijackedByGanon New Nexus]] was already showing signs of this from the jump...but once Punk launched into one of his [[FauxlosophicNarration monologues]] on the 1-17-11 ''[[WWERaw RAW]]''…

* DemotedToExtra: What happened with the group once Punk declared he would leave WWE with the WWE Championsip. Otunga and [=McGillicutty=] was the only one left of the group, Mason Ryan was out with an injury, and Husky Harris had been sent back to their developmental system. They lost their tag team titles to Evan Bourne and Kofi Kingston. Otunga was later repackaged with a lawyer gimmick, while [=McGillicutty=] was sent to NXT.

* MrFanservice: CM Punk has added his sex appeal (a blonde, charismatic, and heavily tattooed JerkAss, [[ShapedLikeItself making him very much like a...well, like a punk]]) to the group, at the cost of Wade Barrett.
* {{Expy}}: ChrisJericho called Mason Ryan [[{{Batista}} "Batis-Two"]].

* PutOnABus: Husky Harris, [=McGillicutty=], [[AndThereWasMuchRejoicing Otunga]] and Ryan all got got [[OneHitKO punted in the head by]] RandyOrton. All, but Husky Harris returned.

* ArchEnemy: Theirs seems to be TheBigShow... [[FridgeBrilliance which makes sense]], since Big Show was the biggest enemy of the Original Nexus on the ''Smackdown'' side of WWE.

* BullyingADragon: The Corre seems to like doing this quite a bit. First main target on Smackdown? TheBigShow. Second main target (because he didn't follow their instructions)? Wrestler/{{Kane}}.

* {{Expy}}: Large power stable runs rampant on the show and eventually splits into two slightly smaller power stables. [[NewWorldOrder Those who have followed wrestling for a while should see some similarities.]]
** Smarks were already drawing comparisons between the Nexus and the NewWorldOrder since the group formed and the IWC has already given the new stable ("The Corre") the FanNickname of "Nexus Wolfpac", in a nod to the different branches of the nWo. It doesn't help that The Corre on the first night already carried out the Nexus MO of [[strike: putting the GM out of commission]], surrounding a main eventer for a beatdown, and said star being on the receiving end of everyone's finisher.

* TheJuggernaut: EZEKIEL. JACKSON. So far, nothing has been shown to even be able to slow the man down, and mows over [[strike: similarly sized]] larger wrestlers like TheBigShow like a truck over a speed bump. The only real time he was shown to be at a disadvantage was at the Royal Rumble, where it took fellow monster Kane to eliminate him - and it took Kane using his BRAINS to get him out by low-bridging Zeke after ducking a clothesline attempt.
* MeaningfulName: Think about it. The group is built on the three most skilled wrestlers from the original Nexus (not counting, of course, [[BryanDanielson Daniel Bryan.]]) [[XtremeKoolLetterz Although no one can figure out why they spelled "Corre" with two R's...]]

* [[NiceJobFixingItVillain Nice Job Fixing It, Villains]]: Attack TheBigShow four-on-one? Okay, maybe that works. Antagonizing Wrestler/{{Kane}} to the point where he and Show team up? It didn't prove to be one of their better ideas, and from there things only went downhill, until their breakup happened.
* [[NotMeThisTime Not Us This Time]]: The Corre were adamant that they weren't the ones to attack ''SmackDown'' GM Theodore Long, despite doing ''that exact thing'' to then ''{{RAW}}'' GM BretHart several months earlier - Hell, Long's assault even occured roughly the same amount of time after the Corre's formation, that the assualt on Hart did following the formation of the Nexus. [[CassandraTruth Turns out they weren't lying]].

* TrueCompanions: The Corre retained this element from the original Nexus, with former-Nexus leader Barrett insisting that all four men are equal. On top of that, it's why Slater & Gabriel refused to attack each other at the urging of {{CM Punk}}, and can be seen as to why they immediately reunited with Barrett on ''SmackDown''.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Wrestler/{{Kane}} (before teaming with TheBigShow) was given an offer by WadeBarrett to join the Corre. Yikes.

** [[NightmareRetardant Though some see him as some punk with a diaper over his face.]]

** [[NightmareRetardant You call that scary]]? He looks less like a gangbanger and more like some punk with a diaper over his face!

Since then, The Nexus blazed a trail of destruction, terrorizing both ''Raw'' and ''[[WWESmackDown SmackDown]]'' to make a name for themselves (part of a larger plan, including making Wade Barrett the WWE Champion). Nobody, from John Cena to Sheamus to Barrett's "Pro" ChrisJericho to even BretHart and {{Vince [=McMahon=]}}, was safe from their wrath.

* NotSoHarmless: Remember Michael Tarver, perennial loser who tapped out to drinking soda? Remember Skip Sheffield, wacky Good Ol' Boy more interested in getting his catchphrases over than listening to his WWE Pro? Remember Justin Gabriel, white-meat babyface with a cool finish and a winning smile? Yeah, those guys are gone now.

* FridgeBrilliance: The Nexus signature color is yellow, which no one will debate probably was due to the fact that it was also the signature color of the show they broke away from nxt. the Corres signature color is red, which is the signature color of [[WweRaw the show that they broke away from]] as well.
