Sorry to make you listen to that Nickelback song.

But the real old school highlight of the night was, once again, an episode of Piper's Pit featuring John Cena - who was an unwilling member of said Nexus and the special guest referee of the WWE Championship match between Nexus leader Wade Barrett and the champion - and Randy Orton - said-WWE Champion at the time.
