David Otunga Reveals Five WWE Evolve Stars He’d Pick For A New Version Of Nexus

On his search for a Nexus tag team, Otunga came across two more large men who’ve worked as singles stars in “Evolve.” If put together, however, Otunga believes they could be unstoppable

“They’re not a tag team, but I went with Drake Morreaux and Sam Holloway,” Otunga said. “In fact, I saw them have a match against each other, believe it or not. These are two big dudes. Both of them appealed to me. I like Morreaux, but also, that’s a big guy. I think he’s six-seven, something like that. And then you get Sam Holloway who’s six-nine. He’s different. I like the stuff he was doing. Even how he gets in the ring, it’s like he starts to step over and does like this little springboard hop that was unexpected. But I like both of their styles and just the confidence they carried themselves with.”

For his future world champion, Otunga landed on former “WWE LFG” star Kam Hendrix (real name Anthony Luke), whom he describes as a talent with real “presence.” Otunga further praised Hendrix for his promo skills, charisma, and look, which stands at six-foot-four inches tall.

“If you have the rest of these people behind him, this is the team right here,” Otunga said. “This is a dominant faction.”

Should Armstrong, Carver, Morreaux, Holloway, and Hendrix join forces, Otunga believes they could unleash an “NXT” takeover so big that they’d hold all of the brand’s gold within six months. Armstrong could carry the NXT Women’s Championship, while Morreaux and Holloway seize the brand’s tag titles. Elsewhere, Carver would claim the NXT North American Championship, while Hendrix captures the top prize, the NXT Championship.

TNA’s Cedric Alexander Explains Why He Didn’t Join The Hurt Syndicate In AEW

When Cedric Alexander parted ways with WWE last year, many fans thought it was a no-brainer that he’d reunite with Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin, and MVP by joining The Hurt Syndicate in AEW. However, Alexander has instead gone off to TNA to make a name for himself in the X Division. During an appearance on “Busted Open Radio,” Alexander shared his thoughts on The Hurt Syndicate and implied he turned down an AEW offer.

“Bobby, Shelton, MVP – they’re all legit close friends of mine, so I was very happy for them, that they got to bring the group back and finish their stories, their careers the way they wanted to,” he said. Alexander admitted that part of him would’ve liked to join them, but he has other aspirations at the moment. “When I had the opportunity to go to AEW, I was looking at it in the sense of: well, for them, they’re finishing their careers with The Hurt Business. I still got another ten-fifteen years to go, so I kind of want to do my own thing and just be my own man for awhile.”

Alexander said he doesn’t want his career to be just linked to The Hurt Syndicate, so while he’s happy for his friends in AEW, he chose to carve out his own legacy in pro wrestling. At this stage, Alexander is aligned with The System stable in TNA, and had a recent main event clash against Moose on “TNA iMPACT!” this week, which he won.

Good Brothers Think They Should Be The Ones To Induct AJ Styles Into WWE Hall Of Fame

The trio of AJ Styles, Luke Gallows, and Karl Anderson have a history that dates back long before their time together in WWE as The O.C. All three were key members of the Bullet Club in New Japan Pro-Wrestling, and with Styles set to enter the WWE Hall of Fame, it should come as no surprise to learn that the Good Brothers have thoughts on who should induct him.

“Personally, I fully believe it should be us,” Gallows said during an episode of their “Talk’N Shop” podcast. From a professional standpoint, however, Gallows believes that The Undertaker is a logical choice. It was Styles who served as the final opponent of “The Deadman” in 2020, with Gallows pointing out that he and Anderson were involved in that cinematic match. Due to that close connection, Gallows understands why the company will almost certainly go in another direction than he and Anderson.

Anderson then spoke about their one-off return to WWE for Styles’ final television appearance, thanking the promotion for letting it happen so soon after their departure. “It was good to see Triple H, it was good to hug AJ Styles,” he said. Anderson also joked that they’ll play hardball if WWE did decide to call them for the induction. He shared his belief that Christopher Daniels, Frankie Kazarian, and Samoa Joe would also be strong choices to give Styles’ induction speech.

Alongside Styles, other confirmed Hall of Fame inductees for the 2026 class include Stephanie McMahon and Demolition’s Ax and Smash. The ceremony will take place on April 17, after the conclusion of “WWE SmackDown.”
