RAW RESULT 10/05

Tonight’s WWE RAW kicks off with the usual RAW opening video. We’re live from the Intrust Bank Arena in Wichita, Kansas as Michael Cole welcomes us. The Nexus music begins to play as we go to the ring.


Out comes Wade Barrett, Michael Tarver, Justin Gabriel, Heath Slater and David Otunga. Barrett has a smirk on his face as the crowd boo’s. Barrett says as you can see, Nexus is still standing here and he was victorious last night. A big “you suck” chant breaks out. Barrett wants to address some issues before he brings out the newest Nexus member. Barrett has identified the two men who hit the ring during his match last night – Husky Harris and Michael McGillicutty from NXT 2. Barrett says he didn’t ask either man to get involved and barely knows them. Barrett says they are not a part of Nexus.


Barrett says he needed no help in beating Cena and asks the other 4 members of Nexus what they were thinking coming to the ring and risking a DQ. Otunga goes to defend the idea and Barrett doesn’t want to hear it. He says tonight is about celebrating the newest member of Nexus. Barrett asks the crowd to give the newest Nexus member a warm welcome. Out comes John Cena to no music. Cena looks weary and is still wearing his purple and yellow colors. Cena slowly walks to the ring and steps in.


Barrett says he knows Cena is a man of his word and will honor the stipulation. Barrett says Cena will realize that this is the best thing to happen to him. Tarver takes the mic and addresses Cena, talking about how he’s picked on him and beat him up in the past. Tarver says the joke is on Cena now because he failed. Tarver says they have a gift for Cena. Tarver presents him with a Nexus armband. Cena takes it and stares Tarver down. The crowd starts chanting for Cena. Cena takes off his purple and yellow armband and reluctantly puts on the Nexus one. Slater tells Cena everything will be ok because they are here for him. Slater says the fans want to know Cena’s feelings on the matter. Slater has a prepared statement that Cena must read to the fans. Barrett says this isn’t negotiable and Cena will read it now.


Cena snatches the mic and hesitates before reading the prepared statement. Cena acknowledges that he is officially a member of Nexus. That gets a mixed reaction from the fans, mostly boo’s. Cena says any enemy of Nexus is now an enemy of his. Cena doesn’t like reading the statement and hesitates before going on. Cena says he hopes his fans stick by him because you’re either Nexus or against us. Barrett says it will get easier as time goes on. Barrett announces Cena will have his first match as a member of Nexus tonight. It will be Mark Henry and Evan Bourne vs. Cena and a partner. Barrett lets Cena pick his partner.
