Eleven years. That’s how long Edge and Chris Jericho have been trading blows and foiling one another’s championship quests. After losing to Randy Orton in a Triple Threat Match to determine the No. 1 contender to the WWE Title earlier in the night, the pair had had enough. They bickered back and forth, each asserting that The Nexus would ally with them against the other. To settle the dispute, The Nexus emerged, but instead of discussing partnerships, they attacked The Ultimate Opportunist.

Later in the evening, a flustered Cena hinted that he may be open to joining the group that had cost him everything. And while Nexus initially hinted that they may be open to a truce, Barrett insisted on more. He told Cena that, in order to further his career at WWE, he must join The Nexus.

Cena refused and left the ring seemingly despondent. His disposition changed, however, when he announced the formation of his own group, including Edge, John Morrison, R-Truth, The Great Khali, Chris Jericho and WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart, who hadn’t been seen since The Nexus had attacked him!

After each Superstar assembled on the entrance ramp, Cena informed Nexus that they should enjoy the next three weeks because at SummerSlam, The Nexus isn’t going to make history, “The Nexus is history!”
