In 2010, one of the biggest stories in the WWE was the rise of the Nexus faction. The former NXT rookies turned the tables on the WWE veterans by banding together and forming a stable under the leadership of Wade Barrett.

One member of the Nexus was future Yes Movement leader Daniel Bryan. Bryan had been fired for choking the ring announcer with his own tie. This violated WWE rules about not reminding people of the Chris Benoit tragedy.

However, a groundswell of support by the WWE Universe and backstage politicking by John Cena led to Bryan's reinstatement to the WWE.
