As seen on last night’s RAW, Nexus attacked The Great Khali. It appears Khali is now off the SummerSlam card. WWE did an angle last night on RAW that may lead to The Miz taking Khali’s place.
WWE wrote the following on Twitter a few hours ago:
“WWE Doctors have determined that Great Khali suffered patella and ligament damage. He is unlikely to compete at SummerSlam.”

– We see Nexus, the Lumberjacks for tonight’s main event, standing in the ring as we go to commercial.
Cena comes back with a bulldog and a right hand. Bret decks Edge with a right also. Edge throws Cena to the floor and Nexus starts beating him down. They throw Cena back in and Edge tags in Jericho for a bit of double teaming. Jericho throws Cena right back out to Nexus and the beatdown starts again. They put Cena back in but Jericho throws him right back out.
Nexus forms a huddle as Cena and Bret look on from the ring. Nexus gets on the apron. John Morrison and R-Truth run down, making it 4 on 7. We see Edge and Jericho going up the ramp as Nexus enters the ring. Edge and Jericho go to walk off but hesitate. Edge and Jericho run back down to the ring and join the other RAW stars. The crowd goes nuts as Team RAW and Nexus start brawling in the ring. Barrett is tossed out and he retreats through the crowd, telling everyone else to let’s go. All of Nexus run through the crowd as the RAW stars stand tall in the ring. RAW goes off the air with Cena’s music playing and Nexus looking down at the ring from the crowd. The two teams have a staredown to end the show.
