John Cena locks Wade Barrett in the STF

The Nexus was a group of young talent that were being groomed to become WWE Superstars. The leader, Wade Barrett, was seen as a future WWE champion. There devasting beat down on John Cena on an episode of Raw shocked the WWE Universe and made them look like a legit threat.

Many believed The Nexus would get the win and it would strengthen them as a stable. Team WWE picked up the win in a way that many felt made The Nexus look weak. "Super Cena" was able to bring team WWE back from sudden defeat by defeating the last two remanding Nexus members in the elimination match.

A pinfall over Gabriel and a submission victory over Barrett allowed team WWE to win the match. A win for The Nexus would have been huge for their group. A win for team WWE meant that John Cena would triumph once again, a story we've seen a million times.
