The Nexus: Where are they now?

The original wrecking crew.

Justin Gabriel

The risk-taker for the faction.

Gabriel is someone who this writer believes to be the most underrated superstar to ever be associated with The Nexus. Justin had impeccable in-ring presence and a flawless, high-risk, high-flying style.

Gabriel was the secret weapon for the original Nexus. He was often called upon to finish the job with his 450 splash, once someone had been laid out in the ring. Gabriel finished his Nexus duties on January 10, 2011. However, he would continue his singles career with the company until leaving the company on January 25, 2015.

After leaving WWE, Justin did a podcast interview with Chris Jericho. During the interview, Gabriel revealed that he was, in fact, the bunny for Adam Rose. He also stated that he pitched an idea he had, for a wolf-themed daredevil character. However, he says Triple H shot the idea down.

These days, Gabriel is keeping an extensive schedule on the indie scene, where he's competing as PJ Black.
