5 Best Catchphrases in WWE's PG Era

#4 You’re either Nexus or you’re against us

The Nexus benefited from a unified front.

The Nexus faction debuted in 2010 as a dominant force. Their first appearance saw them decimate not only top star John Cena, but the entire ringside area.

In the weeks to follow, they’d jump legends and they’d lay a beating on Vince McMahon, assembling a white hot summer program. Sure, they lost steam in losing their first big time match, the main event of that year’s SummerSlam.

Nonetheless that initial run offered them a memorable program, and a place in wrestling history.

The Nexus’s signature catchphrase, uttered time and again by leader Wade Barrett in particular, was “You’re either Nexus or you’re against us.” Yes, it was a cleverly word, rhyming play on the group’s name.

Much more than that, though, the catchphrase captured the group’s identity in a nutshell. At seven members, it wasn’t exactly a small stable, but it was a contained group of guys with the shared identity of going through the original NXT season and feeling disrespected, before rising up as a unified force.

The catchphrase fit their mentality of banding together and destroying anyone who didn’t side with them.
