#2 Daniel Bryan
The Nexus invasion of RAW is still one of the most incredible and shocking moments ever. Unfortunately most of the Nexus members failed to achieve major success. The most successful member of the Nexus is Daniel Bryan.
The only time Bryan appeared as part of The Nexus was during the original invasion. That night, they were told to destroy everything. They beat down CM Punk and John Cena, they took the ring apart and even began attacking the announcers and commentators at ringside. Daniel Bryan took this a little too far and proceeded to choke Justin Roberts with his own tie. The "powers that be" backstage were furious at this and Bryan was released from the company.

Fans were outraged, many felt that what he had only made the angle more impactful. Roberts himself came forward and defended Bryan. The WWE eventually re-hired Bryan for the Team Cena vs Nexus match at SummerSlam 2010, and the rest is history.
