The feud started when The Nexus (a group of NXT rookies) made their WWE debut by attacking John Cena, CM Punk, and other WWE superstars with the demand for permanent WWE contracts. The appeal was denied by Bret Hart who was then serving as the General Manager of RAW. The Nexus attacks Bret Hart and pressurizes Vince McMahon to find another General manager.
