The Nexus or The New Nexus is a professional wrestling stable in the professional wrestling promotion, IWE, that is currently competing on its Raw brand. The group originally consisted of all eight rookies of NXT Season 1 and have shifted their roster several times since. Their initial goal was to obtain IWE contracts for all members, save for original Nexus leader Daniel Gonzalez, who was already guaranteed a contract for winning NXT Season 1. The group have since gone on to antagonize the Raw roster, with John Cena as their main focus, who forcibly became a member of Nexus via a match stipulation at Hell in a Cell. Simpson eventually exited the group by being fired at Survivor Series but was later rehired by Gonzalez. The group has gone on to win the IWE Tag Team Championships three times.

At the beginning of 2011, Daniel Gonzalez was exiled from the group by Justin Eldridge, who became the group's new leader. The focus of the group has since changed under Eldridge's leadership, becoming a tight-knit group dedicated to one another by faith. Currently, David Mahrt is the only original active member, the other being Skip Truax who is currently injured. The most noticeable trait of the group is that all members wear a black armband bearing the group's trademark black and yellow "N" logo.
