The NEXUS came to make a difference

It really is incredible how this band of WWE rookies came together and where each one of them is in the business to this day.

The Nexus invasion will never be forgotten by WWE fans as the first time they were introduced to this impactful stable of young Superstars looking to impress.

On June 7th, 2010, they invaded Raw and took out everyone and everything in their way. Nobody was safe including John Cena, CM Punk, Luke Gallows, Jerry Lawler, Matt Striker, Justin Roberts, and WWE timekeeper, Mark Yeaton, during this introduction of this destructive and disruptive force in WWE.

Daniel Bryan also saw himself getting fired in the process during his first night in by strangeling Justin Roberts with his own tie. The looks Roberts gave the face to sell the move with his tongue hanging out didn't help matters but it was deemed too hot for TV and Bryan suffered the ramifications of it. However, his hiatus from WWE would be short-lived.

Nexus would later add other members like Husky Harris, who would later become Bray Wyatt, and Michael McGillicutty, who became Curtis Axel.

But nobody will forget how real it felt when Nexus leader, Wade Barrett, led Daniel Bryan, Darren Young, Skip Sheffield (Ryback), Michael Tarver, Justin Gabriel, Heath Slater, and David Otunga into battle and not only invaded, but also deconstructed Raw in the process.
