This week’s previously taped WWE RAW [DOWNLOAD] starts with video of Cena’s recruited team. Then it went to the RAW team Nexus faced last Monday. Wade said Cena’s team is showing cracks. The problems between R-Truth and Morrison last week. The problems between Edge and Khali. Jericho hitting a code breaker on Cena. Jericho said he’s going after Cena after SummerSlam. Walls on Cena. Khali out and saved Cena. Spear to Khali from Edge. Morrison and R-Truth out and they all argued and fought.
Music and pyro.
Edge out to the ring. Edge grabs a mic, gets heat. He says he tried. But things became crystal clear and he has to go with his gut. He has to listen to himself. Case in point, after the RR he came back and listened to the fans and they let him down. Just like his SummerSlam team has let him down, fell apart in front of him. He doesn’t respect Cena, or trust Jericho. He has no faith in Khali. He barely knows R-Truth and Morrison. That’s why he has to do things his way. Nexus needs to be taken down. They’ve wreaked havoc since the first night they came into RAW. He has to do things his way, that’s why tonight, he challenges Wade Barrett, one on one. He doesn’t want anyone coming down and sticking their nose in it. He’s not going to let anyone say anything and that’s how it should have been from the get go.
R-Truth’s music cuts Edge off. He comes out, not singing, limping. Edge says he didn’t want anyone down there, what part didn’t he understand? He has a question for Edge. Does he really think challenging Wade will squash anything. This is much bigger than that. Edge says he knows, but he doesn’t want to listen to Cena… R-Truth says Edge doesn’t want to listen. Fine, don’t listen to Cena, but Edge will listen to R-Truth. Edge has been in tons of matches, all kids of matches. How many times has he had to fight for everything? Everything. They’re fighting for what they love to do! Their lifestyles, their friends, their families. For the WWE Universe! It’s us, it’s we. We need to fight together or Nexus wins. As simple as that. Edge needs to stop thinking about himself and pull his head out of his rear end. That’s the truth! The fans love him. Edge says it’s clever, but his version of the truth. How do you kill a snake? Cut its head off. He’s taking Wade out. So is R-Truth going to leave his ring, or will Edge have to spear him out?
Ding-Ding! Cole calls for attention and gets heat. Up to his podium. “If this is what Edge wants, then the GM will honor his request. Will R-Truth please exit the ring? Edge will face Wade Barrett of Nexus. That will be next.” R-Truth tells Edge good luck, he’s on his own. R-Truth leaves the ring.

Backstage Edge is trying to find Cena. No one knows. Finally Edge finds Cena and demands to know where he was. Edge was out there on his own, fighting for his life. Cena was no where to be found. Cena said he did what Edge said, so he was back there. The only way they have a chance with Nexus is seven on seven. Edge said to have good luck with that, because they’ll be doing it without him. Edge said he quits.
Edge stomps off, but Jericho comes up behind Cena with a smirk. Cena finally notices Jericho. He guesses that Jericho’s quitting too? Jericho says Cena doesn’t get it. If anyone needs to quit it’s Cena. If there’s anyone is as much of a problem as Nexus, it‘s Cena. If Jericho’s team has a chance of winning at SummerSlam it’s if Cena quit. If he lives and breathes for WWE the way he says he does week in and week out, he needs to quit. If he doesn’t, then Jericho will make him quit. Why don’t they go out there one on one, loser leaves the team. Cena says they’re doing the exact opposite of what they need to do. Nexus is laughing at them right now. You don’t see a Nexus versus Nexus match out there, loser leave Nexus! They just had a guy walk out. Jericho said yes, one. Cena says if that’s what Cena wants, fine! Cena walks off.
King and Cole talk about how Cena’ team is falling apart.
SummerSlam recall - MSG, 1991 - Mr. Perfect versus Bret Hart. Hennig’s ring gear was ripped up. Hart kicked out, then took out Hennig’s manager and locked on the sharpshooter for the three.
Backstage Khali and Morrison are hanging. Morrison talked of the Magnificent Seven and said if the seven don’t work together they don’t stand a chance. Singh translated, then said there’s also the Seven Dwarfs. Morrison said to Khali, suit himself. Good luck facing DiBiase. Morrison left. Singh fled when Tarver and Otunga came up. Tarver says they want to get it straight. They didn’t attack Khali last week because they don’t attack people they respect. Otunga says if Khali loses, Cena’s looking to replace him if he loses to DiBiase tonight. Tarver said that their door’s always open. They left and Singh told Khali to think about this.

Being singles match, tag match, battle Royal or fatal four, she’s beaten all of them. There isn’t a Diva on the roster comparable to her because she’s the most dominant…
Melina’s music and she comes stomping out in jeans and an off the shoulder off-white long sleeved top. Her hair’s down and my first thought when I saw her was of Victoria (Tara in TNA {Lisa Marie Varon}) for some odd reason. Melina stalks out and Fox flees the ring.

Video of the backbreaker on Goldust, then the big boot. Then the finished on Goldust for three. Sheamus with a mic said what a difference a year makes. This time last year he was in a war with Goldust in ECW trying to make a name for himself. Now there’s no trying, just sheer and utter dominance. Whether they like it or not, he’s a two time WWE Champion. He didn’t need to grab a briefcase or lucky enough to be born a third generation superstar like Randy Orton. He got there all by himself, his own hard work. You people in the WWE Universe, you come to see him. What about HHH? Their hero, a man Orton couldn’t beat. He ended his career and will the same to Orton at SummerSlam. They never give him the credit he deserves. Guess what? He doesn’t want their respect or need their credit. He has what he needs, this - he holds out the gold. This got him some heat, but not a lot.

Cena even realized then that Jericho tapped quickly. Jericho throws around the stairs as he leaves. Cena, on mic, stops Jericho. He says the fans just saw one heck of a match between two of the best in the WWE. The fans agree. Cena says he doesn’t want Jericho to leave.

Next week Edge and Jericho will face off against Cena and Bret Hart. Additionally all seven members of Nexus will be ringside as lumberjacks.”
Backstage Josh is with Orton. Josh says earlier Sheamus said he’s going to beat Orton at SummerSlam and do the same thing to Orton as he did to HHH. Orton says he thinks Sheamus has to do his homework if he thinks he’s the only one who’s every taken down HHH. If his memory serves him correctly, he gave HHH a six week vacation from a kick to the head. He then invites Sheamus to be ringside to watch what Orton does to Miz. The good thing for Sheamus is that after he’s done with Miz, he won’t be in any condition to cash in his MITB case. The bad news is that in two weeks, Sheamus’ next.
