Top 5 invasions in pro-wrestling

3). The Nexus

Before there was Shield, there was Nexus

The faction that started the invasion angle of the new decade, Nexus’ WWE debut has been copied by multiple tag teams, including the Shield. The Wade Barrett-led group of NXT graduates cost John Cena the WWE Championship and became prominent in a talented roster already featuring the likes of Cena, Randy Orton, Edge, Chris Jericho, Rey Mysterio and Bret Hart.

Nexus’ classic hyena attack where they would slowly surround the ring and pounce gave the feeling that their target would be a sitting duck when it was all said and done and it was the case most of the time.
