7. Royal Rumble 2010
The future King Barrett and his Nexus terrorized WWE for the majority of 2010, with Cena being one of the main Superstars willing to stand up and defy their tyranny. However, by the time Barrett challenged Randy Orton for the WWE Championship on the Nov. 22, 2010, edition of Raw, Cena had been fired due to a stipulation complications in his ongoing battle with the dastardly seven.
Even while faced with the prospect of an unemployment line, though, Cena found a way to make an impact during the championship match. He raced from out of the crowd to strike Barrett with an AA before the remaining Nexus members chased him off. Orton retained the title, Cena was reinstated several weeks later and The Nexus did not last. Who won that one?
