Fred Rosser Wants Nexus To Be Inducted Into WWE Hall Of Fame

When The Nexus formed and attacked John Cena, CM Punk, and everyone at ringside in June 2010, it created an immense buzz in the wrestling world, and has gone down as one of the greatest debuts in wrestling history.

Unfortunately WWE fumbled the rest of the angle, but despite this, former Nexus member Fred Rosser (fka Darren Young) told the Insiders Edge podcast that he’d one day like to see the group inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame:

“Again, it was an awesome spot to be in [The Nexus] but personally, I was dealing with demons. Personally, I wasn’t comfortable with myself so, when you’re amongst these seven guys, it’s very, ‘I want that, I want this, I want this, I want that’ and I’m very calm, cool, I’m collected, very passive-aggressive I guess so I didn’t wanna step on any toes. But now, fast forward to over ten years after doing The Nexus, I’m more me and not only am I more me, I’m more myself with New Japan. I was more myself when I came out publicly but I wasn’t myself when I was with The Nexus. Again, I was a part of history and it’s something I’m very grateful for. I always say on social media or even in interviews like this that The Nexus needs to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. Not as old men but as veterans, as polished guys that still look good, that still do what they do. Yeah, I’m still campaigning for a Hall of Fame induction. I wanna wear a ring just like Titus [O’Neil]. My partner Titus got a Hall of Fame ring, the Warrior Award. I said it’s time for me to get one,” said Rosser.

Rosser is the current NJPW STRONG Openweight Champion, whilst fellow Nexus alums Heath, Wade Barrett, and Bryan Danielson are regularly featured across IMPACT, WWE, and AEW respectively.
