#1 Team Nexus vs Team WWE- SummerSlam 2010

John Cens stares down Nexus

The Nexus reigned supreme once they came in and attacked The Straight Edge Society and John Cena on their first night. It was made up of the rookies from the first season of NXT, then a gameshow of sorts where the winner would go to the main roster. Or something weird that no one remembers now due to the awesomeness that is NXT today.

The Nexus was perfect for all involved. It gave everyone something to do, so that not all were lost in the shuffle or thrown back into developmental. Finally everyone had too much and the top WWE Superstars of the day and one WWE Hall of Famer went up against the Nexus to take control back for WWE.

When Nexus first attacked Cena, Daniel Bryan got a bit too rough and decided to choke Justin Roberts with his tie. No biggy, except WWE was PG and that wasnt cool. So WWE released Bryan for it. WWE played it off on television by saying that Bryan felt bad for what he did and didnt fit the group. This led to his surprise return at SummerSlam where he was a huge part of the team.

The match was very good, but was one of the more personal storylines leading up to the event due to what Nexus was doing leading up to it.
