Even John Cena himself apparently admitted that he shouldn't have gone over in this one - and that's straigt from the mouths of Chris Jericho and Edge, who bemoaned the wasted opportunity years later on a podcast.

It's a shame that they weren't able to convince the powers-that-be to change their minds on the night, though - because, if they had, we might be looking back on the 2010 Nexus angle as more than just a flash-in-the-pan.

Wade Barrett and co had all the momentum in the wrestling world heading into SummerSlam, after making one of the most memorable Monday Night Raw debuts in a generation.

But it was killed dead when Cena - having taken a DDT onto the exposed concrete outside the ring - clutched victory from the jaws of defeat despite his side's numerical disadvantage.
