10 Weirdest WWE SmackDown Main Events Ever
9. Kane vs The NXT Rookies - April 2nd 2010
Everybody remembers that The Nexus made their debut on the June 7th 2010 episode of Raw, destroying the ringside area, beating up John Cena, and angering WWE's sponsors when Daniel Bryan choked Justin Roberts with his own tie.
However, this wasn't the first time this combination of stars had been seen on the main roster.
On April 2nd, two whole months before their infamous Raw appearance, Wade Barrett, Justin Gabriel, Heath Slater, David Otunga, Skip Sheffield, Darren Young, Michael Tarver, and D-Bry made their SmackDown debut against Kane.
That's right, it was all eight of them versus Kane on his own. Sure, why not?
This bizarre encounter was over in less than nine minutes after "The NXT Rookies", as they were known at the time, all attacked Kane at once for the DQ. The Big Red Machine had managed to eliminate two of them before this, including Wade Barrett, the guy who would go on to win NXT later that year.
It's nice to see that WWE were making The Nexus look like chumps even before they'd officially debuted. These guys didn't stand a chance.
