On the 2010 edition of the Bragging Rights pay-per-view, The Nexus won the WWE Tag-Team Titles by defeating Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre. There was only one problem, John Cena was officially part of the heel group under orders from Wade Barrett. At the previous month's Hell In A Cell show, Barrett had defeated Cena, forcing him to join up with the villainous crew he had been feuding with. The unfortunate part was that the tag titles were made to look inconsequential to the ongoing power struggle between both men. Cena teamed with David Otunga to bag the belts at Bragging Rights, but then the pair were stripped of the championships the next night on Raw. Barrett demanded that Otunga lay down and allow himself to be beaten, and all of a sudden Heath Slater and Justin Gabriel were the new champs. This did little to make the WWE Tag-Team Titles look important, and there should be an asterisk next to Cena and Otunga in the WWE history books. Naturally, they were awkward with one another, because they weren't regular partners. The whole idea was that Wade Barrett would look like a dominant leader, but did the tag titles really need to be used as collateral to hammer home that point?
