When Nexus first debuted on the WWE main roster they were a force to be reckoned with and they quickly took over. The group proved that there’s strength in numbers and it seemed that nothing could stop their momentum.
At SummerSlam in 2010, Nexus faced off against Team WWE which consisted of John Cena, John Morrison, R-Truth, Bret Hart, Edge, Chris Jericho and Daniel Bryan. Many people expected Nexus to win the match, but Cena ended up getting the win for his team.
Heath, formerly known as Heath Slater in WWE, recently spoke to Adrian Hernandez of 1140 AM Las Vegas about the match and he claimed that up until an hour before the pay-per-view started plans called for Nexus to win the SummerSlam main event.
“SummerSlam was amazing, main eventing and everything. Getting in the ring with Bret Hart was fantastic. But SummerSlam should’ve went differently. Because we had WWE by the throat, but they never let us clench it, you know what I mean? They never let it be like ‘Holy crap! These guys are legit taking over!’ We were there. We had it. But then Superman had to go in there and change everything.”
“We were winning though. We were definitely winning. We got there and they said we were up. Me, Gabriel, and Wade were the last three in the ring. And then the next thing I know, an hour before the PPV starts, it all goes to crap, and we’re all like ‘Whoa what? What’s happening now?’ They had to switch it all.”
