5 NXT debuts that rocked the WWE Universe

1. The Nexus

Before all these debuts, there was one debut that rocked the WWE universe like nothing else had. On June 7, 2010, WWE decided to graduate an entire crop of superstars from NXT. This infamous group of superstars called them as The Nexus, meaning Next Us.

During main event of the night, John Cena and CM Punk squared off against each other. Almost near to the end, The Nexus made their appearance. Wade Barrett, who was revealed to be the leader later, walked down the ramp distracting John Cena from his match. The other members of the group came in through the crowd and jumped barricades(Shield Style) and proceeded to attack the wrestlers, commentators and all WWE personals present in the ringside.

The group then proceeded to dismantle the entire ring area as Wade Barrett and Michael Tarver unscrewed the turnbuckles, while others ripped the safety mats, flipped announce tables and wrecked the barricades. This was never seen before in WWE and naturally it caused a huge tumult.

The group then proceeded to dominate WWE for a long time by attacking WWE superstars in and out of the ring without any remorse. After some time, the group changed leaders with CM Punk replacing Wade Barrett after he was exiled from the group. The group was famous for its villainy and was reckoned as a powerful force until the group was finally disbanded August 22, 2011.

Note: Daniel Bryan also debuted with The Nexus, but he was exiled from it.
