There's a ton of “what if” scenarios WWE fans like to entertain, but there have been few bigger screw-ups in recent years than that of The Nexus. They debuted in June 2010 and instantly shook WWE to its very core with their violent attacks on John Cena, Mr.McMahon, and others.

Cena put together an army of WWE Superstars to rival The Nexus at SummerSlam, even rounding out his team with a returning Daniel Bryan. The seven-on-seven elimination tag team main event had all the makings to be remarkable, but it ultimately fell flat in a major way.

To be fair, the match itself wasn't awful, but fans are still questioning the asinine ending to this very day. Wade Barrett had a two-on-one advantage over Cena in the final few minutes of the matchup, going so far as to lay Cena out on the concrete with a DDT.

Yet Cena battled back, pinned Justin Gabriel clean to eliminate him from the equation before quickly forcing Barrett to tap out. And just like that, The Nexus were dead in the water, never to be taken seriously again.
