Jul 05 2010 by Mike Ryan
WWE RAW Opener:
Tonight’s RAW opens with the members The Nexus, including Wade Barrett, standing in the ring. Barrett steps out in front of the group and starts talking. Barrett says he received an e-mail from the General Manager last week informing him to bring the members of Nexus to the ring to start tonight’s show. Barrett says they cannot reveal right now why they did what they did to Mr. McMahon, but rest assured it needed to happen. Barrett says this is all part of a bigger picture, a much bigger picture. The crowd boo’s.
Barrett says Vince thought he controlled them but he did not. Barrett says Vince has no idea of their agenda. Barrett says Skip Sheffield has something to say about Ricky Steamboat. The crowd boo’s. Sheffield says unlike what they did to Vince, what they did to the Legends was for fun. Sheffield says they found a loophole in the GM’s ruling and exploited it. Sheffield says the fans won’t admit it but they loved every second of it. Sheffield says more people are interested in Steamboat’s DVD now that they attacked him. Sheffield says he should be thanking them. The e-mail alert goes off. Now they flicker the lights when it goes off. Michael Cole steps up to the podium. The GM’s message says that for their assault on Vince McMahon, none of the Nexus members can compete for a WWE title until further notice. Furthermore, the ruling of RAW and Nexus stars not being able to touch each other has been lifted. John Cena’s music hits and out he comes.
Cena comes out to the stage as the Nexus members get ready to fight. Cena says they’ve done quite a lot since they arrived but there’s one thing they haven’t done.

Apparently Nexus ran away during the RAW brawl. Sheamus says maybe they don’t want to take out Nexus.

Sheamus says he and everyone else with him on the stage declines that off. Orton takes the mic and says he and Cena aren’t friends, and probably won’t be. Unless they have to, he says. Orton says Nexus is a serious threat to them all. Orton asks Edge if he’s forgotten how they jumped them at Fatal 4 Way. They propose a match right now. The e-mail goes off again.
