10 Best WWE Moments That Reignited Your Passion For Wrestling
10. 2010 - Nexus Debut
Chaos. Drama. Questions. These are all things that WWE had been sorely lacking throughout the Super-Cena phase after the switch to PG in 2008. Fans were beginning to lose hope. How long had it been since ANYTHING interesting had happened? Enter Nexus. Their debut was nothing like we'd seen for a long time.
Destroying the ring and ringside, beating up the announcers, attacking Cena. If we ignore the fact that these actions got Daniel Bryan fired, him choking out Justin Roberts with his own tie and spitting in the face that runs the place were also two standout moments that really gave this debut some punch and attitude.
Nexus' debut was the first cool thing to happen on WWE television in years and nobody could stop talking about it. We couldn't wait to see what happened next and were tuning in on a weekly basis, dying to get our fix of this angle. Daniel Bryan being fired added a whole new dimension to this too, with a great many people believing that it was all a work and John Cena himself even signing a petition to get Bryan re-hired.
WWE seemed to play to the internet to perfection here... At least until they reverted back to the status quo, having Cena take a beating only to beat the last few members of Nexus on his own at Summerslam. Another hot angle wasted, something WWE are known for, which is why this list is mostly comprised of brief moments.
