I remember being kinda intrigued by the idea of Wade Barrett vs. The Undertaker at WrestleMania 27. The Nexus thing happened, got cooled off a bit, then Barrett helped Kane defeat Taker in Buried Alive. Thought it was setting up him getting the spot and they just snubbed him for Triple H chasing Shawn Michaels. Turns out the plan was always Triple H vs. Taker, but Nexus were supposed to be his lackeys in a heel turn. But Trips didn’t want to turn heel. Plus he probably figured not being able to beat Taker with 8 guys flanking makes him look super-weak.
