Interesting that WWE would even mention this idea. Makes me think more and more than Nash is turning against HHH.

A 2011 version of the nWo with Trips, Nash, Big Show, Del Rio, and Cody Rhodes could be very good! Include Johnny Ace and Michael Cole as the hated mouthpieces as well.

Why would Big Show be in it, especially with Del Rio?

I think Mark Henry would make more sense.

Just because he's been nWo twice before, and he is friends with those guys. From a storyline perspective, yeah, Mark Henry would be better. And speaking of him....about damn time they pushed him like this. From Sexual Chocolate to the big lovable teddy bear, they have screwed the pooch on him for years. He is finally over as a big mother who beats people up...imagine that!?!

Yeah hes been around forever. I know they put a lot of stock in him for his bodybuilding that didn't turn out too well but hes done everything asked of him, he went down to OVW a bunch of times, hes done every storyline well, no matter how dumb.

End of his career, let him be a monster and take the Belt.

WWE officials made the decision some time in the past week or so that Kevin Nash won't be wrestling for them. It's likely Nash will stick around for the time being and participate in the occasional angle but unless something changes, he won't be having a match. This is why CM Punk vs. Kevin Nash at Night of Champions was changed to Punk vs. Triple H. WWE knew going into RAW Monday night that Nash wouldn't be wrestling.

Nash recently went to Pittsburgh to do physicals for the company and something happened there that made them decide that they don't want Nash in the ring taking bumps and doing something as physical as a whole match. There is still some chance that Nash could end up wrestling but something happened after the physicals that have put a roadblack in front of Nash's return match.

The decision to put Triple H in the match with Punk wasn't made until Monday. The original plans had Punk going over Nash at Night of Champions.

But then there is this...

The decision to put CM Punk vs. Triple H on Night of Champions was actually made over the weekend. The match had been penciled in for the Survivor Series pay-per-view.

There's still no official word yet on what is keeping Kevin Nash from working a full-fledged match but most feel that it will be resolved soon.

The Nash vs. Punk feud was going to lead into the Punk vs. Triple H match but now the plan is to do Triple H vs. Punk first and then Nash vs. Punk. Original plans had Nash putting Punk over.

Bizarre. If they keep it as it is now, and Triple H puts over Punk, I don't get the Nash part. HHH losing to Punk is much bigger than Punk beating Nash, HHH is HUGE.

I continue to be intrigued by this jumble.

All just a big ground-work to establish Punk as the next big Superstar. I mean he's a star now, but to make that next step to Cena/Orton status he probably needs a big run of him knocking off HUGE names. I guess he's being chosen as one of the next to carry the company with a lot of the older guys finally retiring.

If HHH loses to Punk, I doubt it will be a "clean loss".

[Dipper9]

If HHH loses to Punk, I doubt it will be a "clean loss".

Whoever wins, I doubt its clean. I still think Nash costs Punk the win...Nash vs Punk at whatever October's event is called, then a Trips vs Punk rematch at Survivor Series. Remember, SS is also when Rock says he will be at the event to confront Cena!

This is all possible...my only issue is this is the obvious thing here.

So, do they do the obvious?

I'm still waiting on the whole revamping/renewal of the TT Division.

Yeah, I agree. They've been doing a decent job with getting 'Air Boom' established, but come on. They need to have tag matches that don't involve the champions.

As for the HHH/Punk/Nash debacle, it's pretty obvious Nash is going to have some sort of involvement in that match. I'm incredibly excited about the fact that Punk looks poised to be the face of the company for the foreseeable future. IMO he's the top in ring and out of ring performer in the WWE.

On another note, as good as I think that part of WWE has been, I think they've really been dropping the ball with their mid card guys. I'm hoping they step that up leading up to the PPV. I'd really like to see Truth and Miz start tagging, setting up a match with Air Boom and perhaps a lengthy feud.

Its going to take a while. They can't really do it overnight.

[Crazysilver03]

Completely agree with the handling of the tag division though. I was happy to see Bourne and Kingston win the title, because on their own neither was doing much for me and in this role they can likely thrive, but I really question how quickly they did it. It would have been nice to see them win a few other matches, maybe lose once or twice for the title (perhaps getting cheated or winning by dq or something), thus setting up a match at the PPV and a bit of a rivalry, with them ultimately getting the belts. It just seems WWE is in such a hurry with things anymore. I will say though, they've done a pretty good job with the HHH/CM Punk/Nash thing though, a couple weeks without clear answers on what the hell is going on has made for intriguing TV.

David Otunga and Michael McGillicutty were garnering no heat. They needed to lose the straps fast.
