Champions in both The Nexus and The Corre without ever even remotely looking like winners, Heath Slater and Justin Gabriel had the unfortunate dishonour of being mammoth losers for both stables thanks to humbling treatments of the talent and titles.
Backdooring into an original tenure with the titles as part of The Nexus (more on that later), their second reign commenced in dignified enough fashion. It was quickly binned though thanks to their diminished position as extras during the aforementioned pre-WrestleMania drama between John Cena and The Miz. The entire angle devalued the the division to grim new lows.
