Edge was also there and he said that Miz needed to seize the opportunity. Chris Jericho was there to say that they needed Miz tonight. The Miz was shown in the locker room with the Money in the Bank briefcase and the US Title. I think if you had most of Team WWE try to make the save, the fans would have loved it, but instead it made Kingston look like a loser with no friends. What puzzled me with no explanation is that nobody tried to save Kingston.
Barrett ended the promo with the catchphrase saying that you’re either “Nexus or against us.”Īnalysis: It was a way to get cheap heat for The Nexus ahead of the main event. Barrett said that the WWE roster was divided and fragmented with their own egos. Barrett said that Team WWE is looking for a seventh member, but he didn’t think it would make a difference. That finish was done to put The Nexus over and show how much of a force they were.īarrett did a promo saying that was a taste of what they had in store for WWE. These guys wrestled eachother many times in this era usually with one of the midcard titles on the line. The seven guys from Nexus ran in through the crowd and attacked, so the match was thrown out at 7:05.Īnalysis: ** It was a decent match that was incomplete due to how it ended. Kingston wanted the Trouble in Paradise kick, Ziggler avoided it and Ziggler slapped on a sleeper. Kingston up top and he jumped off with a punch to the head. There was a cross body block by Kingston, Ziggler countered to a rollup for two and Ziggler with a Fameasser for two. Kingston opened up with chops, a dropkick and a Thesz Press leading to punches for Kingston. Ziggler whipped Kingston into the turnbuckle, Kingston moved and Ziggler hit the turnbuckle head first. Ziggler with an elbow drop to the back followed by another chinlock. Ziggler with a flipping neckbreaker for two. Kingston approached Ziggler near the ropes, so Ziggler sent Kingston into the turnbuckle. The fans chanted for Kingston as Ziggler slapped on a headlock. Back in the ring, Ziggler hit a two count. Kingston went for a suicide dive, but Vickie pulled Ziggler out of the way and Kingston went crashing to the floor. Kingston was in control early as he knocked Ziggler out of the ring. Pre-match notes: Ziggler was the heel champion while Kingston was the face challenger. Intercontinental Championship: Dolph Ziggler (w/Vickie Guerrero) vs. Kofi Kingston made his entrance as Ziggler’s opponent.

The announce team for the show is Michael Cole, Jerry Lawler and Matt Striker because the brand split was not much of a thing by this point although it did still exist.ĭolph Ziggler was the Intercontinental Champion that made his entrance with Vickie Guerrero as his manager.
The crowd was packed with Michael Cole announcing the attendance was 17,463 for this show. The pyro went off and the crowd was loud. The video ended with a clip of The Nexus with the voiceover guy wondering what happens if The Nexus succeeds against WWE. The opening video package was about change in WWE while focusing on the key matches. It began with a TV-PG logo with “V” for Violence.
Staples Center in Los Angeles, California I know people complain about today’s WWE all the time because that’s their nature, but it was staler in years like 20. The Nexus angle in the summer was a refreshing change, but some of the guys in the group were so boring that it was tough to get excited about it. There just wasn’t that much excitement on Raw or Smackdown at this point. Bryan ended up being fired for about two months and then made his surprise return here. Going into the show, nobody was really sure if he would be brought back in for it, but most of us expected it because there were stories of Bryan canceling appearances in the indies. When The Nexus made their big Raw debut attacking John Cena and everybody around ringside, Bryan was fired for choking announcer Justin Roberts with a tie. One of the big stories going into the show was the status of Daniel Bryan.
