Heath: A Potential Nexus Reunion Could Be An ‘Earthquake’ In Wrestling

Heath, formerly known as Heath Slater in WWE, thinks a Nexus reunion could happen.

The Nexus is an infamous stable in WWE history. They were featured on RAW throughout the second half of 2010. The faction never bounced back after losing to John Cena’s team at SummerSlam 2010. They ultimately broke up in August 2011.

During a Captain’s Corner virtual signing, Heath discussed the Nexus and commented on a potential reunion of the group. He shared his belief that they could get back together and cause an “earthquake” in wrestling. (H/t Andrew Thompson of POST Wrestling for the transcription)

“We have never had a second coming (of Nexus), ever,” Heath said. “Think about that. You have (CM) Punk up there, you have Wade (Barrett) on commentary. Ryback is a little insane and doing his thing. You have D. Young that still looks like a stud. Me, I’m 250 now, I’m the dad bod but I’ll kick your ass if I need to. You got Michael Tarver that still looks like an evil, crazy son of a gun and David Otunga that still has a bodybuilder build that can damn do anything.

“Then you have Justin Gabriel that is still out there high-flying, doing his 450 splash and kicking ass and looking good. Imagine if it would happen, and that wasn’t even a pitch (he laughed). I just pitched it baby. But being real, it could be — I feel like it could be an earthquake in wrestling again. But then again, who knows? That’s just me talking. Other people might be like, you delusional, old f*ck. There’s no way. But I feel like it could happen.

Heath recently commented on potentially returning to WWE for the Royal Rumble. Click here to see what he had to say.

Fred Rosser previously said the Nexus deserved to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. Check out his comments here.
