WWE Rumor Roundup: Vince McMahon unhappy with 2 Superstars, NXT star's move to main roster canceled and more - 9th June 2020

Backstage reaction to Nexus debut

It has been 10 years since the Nexus debuted on WWE RAW and everyone remembers it like it happened last week. The members of the first-ever NXT season attacked John Cena and CM Punk during the main event and left a mark on WWE's main roster.

Wade Barrett was on Inside The Ropes recently and spoke about the backstage reaction to their incredible WWE debut. He said:

We walk back and the entire locker room stood there clapping like we just performed a miracle. I’m like, OK, this is strange, these people normally don’t even want to shake our hands, what’s going on here. Then I realized how big an impact this had. Vince is thrilled. Triple H is thrilled. The writers are thrilled. Then we saw a replay of what we done and they showed a close up of the crowds’ faces and they genuinely looked terrified like something they never seen before.

The Nexus were reportedly set to make an appearance at WrestleMania this year but the pandemic situation put those plans at rest.
