When Nexus took over RAW in June 2010, it was undeniable that they brought something very different to the product.

The hostile takeover element of the Nexus story gave the Red Brand an air of complete unpredictability. That WWE has now commissioned a documentary on Nexus more than a decade after they were last featured on television proves the faction offered something the viewers wanted to see.

The idea of a group of new faces banding together to upset the WWE establishment was trialed once again in 2020 - this time with a group known as RETRIBUTION.

Despite a strong start to the angle, RETRIBUTION soon met the same fate as Nexus, with WWE quickly deciding to pull back on pushing the new faction.

As part of the new Nexus documentary, it would be refreshing to see WWE actually give the concept the credit it deserves. Fans enjoy intrigue and shocking moments, but there does need to be some consistency and planning behind it.

With appropriate creative backing, Nexus could have gone on to have a run similar to some of wrestling's best-ever factions. Instead, the group is remembered for what might have been.

No air date has been announced for the upcoming documentary. Time will tell how WWE paints the legacy of Nexus.
