In 2010, WWE had the hottest angle in wrestling. Seven rookies united under one banner, invaded Monday Night Raw, destroyed the ring, and made the entire company feel unsafe.

This is the story of how John Cena defeated The Nexus, why so many fans believe that decision changed the careers of Wade Barrett, Justin Gabriel, Heath Slater, David Otunga, Darren Young, Michael Tarver and Skip Sheffield forever, and how one night became one of the most controversial booking decisions in WWE history.
