10 Things We Learned From Bad News Barrett On Talk Is Jericho

3. The Nexus

The shocking segment that kicked off the Nexus angle has been discussed on Talk Is Jericho several times before but it's such a memorable moment that it's always fun to get different takes on it, this time from the man who was the at the forefront of the invasion. Barrett reiterates that the Nexus talent had no beforehand knowledge of the angle and weren't told until the day of. All the participants from season one of NXT sincerely thought that everyone except the winner would either get cut or sent back to developmental, so they treated it as a real competition. When all eight of them were brought to TV they didn't know what to expect until 15 minutes before the doors opened, when they were told the plans for the attack.
