10 Biggest Holy Sh*t Moments In WWE Raw History
5. Against Us
There was some sweet unintended irony in Wade Barrett's NXT army destroying everybody and everything about Monday Raw on the same night it had almost satirically labelled itself as 'Viewers Choice'. The matches were largely retreads of hashed out feuds with a fan-vote gimmick failing to syphon further suspense.
Few viewers would have ever chosen any of it. At least the ending they were forced to endure appeared to promise to have an exciting future.
Only a John Cena Vs CM Punk main event carried any intrigue on the wretched Raw, but an unusual and unexpected stoppage rendered the match memorable for entirely different, terrifying reasons. The yet-to-be-named Nexus charged the pair, zeroing in on company faceplate Cena and the ring itself a symbol of their rightful iand righteous indignation.
Barrett had gotten his crew p*ssed off for greatness. NXT had for the most part been a giant joke, with the poor prospects trapped as both setups and punchlines. Dismantling bodies and anything inanimate, this magnificent seven for one night ensured the laughter finally stopped, replaced by lashings of shock and awe.
