October 4 , 2010 Monday Night RAW results The October 4 , 2010 Edition of RAW is a Professional wrestling television show of the WWE ' s RAW brand , which took place on October 4 , 2010 at the Intrust Bank Arena in Wichita , Kansas . Summary . Impossible . That seemed to be the most appropriate word to describe it . Less than 24 hours after losing his match to Wade Barrett at Hell in a Cell , John Cena suffered the consequences . As a man of his word , Cena faced Barrett and his cohorts in The Nexus , donned one of their trademark armbands and read a statement describing himself as an official member of the group . The gutting transformation took place after it was revealed that Cena lost in great measure thanks to season two NXT Rookies Michael McGillicutty and Husky Harris , who interfered at Hell in a Cell . Naturally , Barrett denied any knowledge of their plans . Afterward , he permitted Cena to choose a partner in a tag team match against Mark Henry & Evan Bourne . The Nexus ’ newest and most reluctant member chose a man who , moments earlier , had relished presenting him with his distinctive armband : Michael Tarver . John Cena may have been forced to join The Nexus , but he won ’ t be forced to compete – not to his potential , anyway . The Nexus ’ newest member paired with Michael Tarver to face Mark Henry & Evan Bourne . It appeared clear to Tarver that his partner was holding back . In fact , when Tarver attempted to tag Cena in , the Legendary star begged off , permitting Henry to prevail for his team with The World ’ s Strongest Slam . After allowing his tag team opponents to win , Cena informed his partner and his new Nexus cohorts , that he plans on doing just one thing : Destroying the group from within . He began by dismantling Tarver in the middle of the ring . His actions , however , would not be tolerated . Raw ’ s anonymous General Manager informed the Legendary star that he must live up to his own stipulations . Having lost to Barrett at Hell in a Cell , Cena must act in good faith . Should he choose to rebel , the Raw GM informed him that his WWE contract “ will be terminated . ” Natalya aimed her Sharpshooter squarely at Alicia Fox and nailed her target . Bret Hart ’ s niece entered her singles match clearly still steamed after Hell in a Cell the night before . In her victorious Unified Divas Championship Match against Michelle McCool , Natalya had locked in the lethal submission , but failed to capture the title since McCool ’ s BFF , Layla , threw her shoes at her and caused a disqualification . After forcing Fox to submit , Natalya vowed to not only affix the Sharpshooter on both members of Team Lay - Cool but also to secure the Unified Divas Championship . Momentum can only take you so far . Despite prevailing over both The Miz and John Morrison at Hell in a Cell , United States Champion Daniel Bryan would soon discover his limitations in the form of The Celtic Warrior . Having lost in a grueling Hell in a Cell Match against WWE Champion Randy Orton , Sheamus was not in a trifling mood . The Irishman punished Daniel Bryan in a most brutal fashion , getting disqualified , but also reestablishing himself as one of WWE ’ s most feared Superstars . The anonymous Raw General Manager had had enough of Edge ’ s temper tantrums . After the GM ’ s spokesman , Michael Cole , announced a 20 - Man Battle Royal would commence later in the evening to determine the No . 1 contender to the WWE Championship at WWE Bragging Rights , he dropped an even bigger bombshell : Edge would not be included . The Rated - R Superstar demanded to know why , and the GM ( via Cole ) told him it was because he was being traded to SmackDown . Rather than fly off the handle , though , The Ultimate Opportunist seemed more relieved than anything . After enduring a few verbal jabs from Edge , Cole confronted his tormentor , telling him that his recent woes are self - inflicted . Taking umbrage , Edge appeared ready to punish Cole . That ’ s when The Miz and his assistant , Alex Riley , intervened and berated Edge for disparaging Cole . The argument escalated , and the three devolved into fisticuffs until The Rated - R Superstar hit Riley with a Spear . A recovered Mr . Money in the Bank , however , quickly took down Edge with a Skull - Crushing Finale . With their mouths firing on all cylinders , Team Lay - Cool sputtered inside the ring . Fresh off of narrowly retaining their self - proclaimed “ Co - Unified Divas Championships , ” Michelle McCool & Layla faced off against The Bella Twins . Rather than proving their worth , WWE ’ s Mean Girls instead provided running commentary during their match ! The verbose approach failed when McCool found herself pinned and handed a loss . Call it “ Goldlust . ” For weeks , Ted DiBiase and girlfriend Maryse had received suggestive messages seemingly directed at the golden couple . Although Maryse thought perhaps the messages were a prank , compliments of Raw guest star Johnny Knoxville , she soon realized that the Jackass 3D jester had no part in them . Rather , Goldust emerged to lay claim – not to her or even her loaded lover . Instead , The Bizarre One would wrap his gloved mitts around the Million Dollar Title , which he stole away like a freak in the night . Wade Barrett should play the lottery – and soon . Despite exceedingly long odds , the Englishman emerged victorious in a 20 - Man Battle Royal to emerge as the No . 1 contender to the WWE Championship . The Nexus leader added the feat to his lengthy list of accomplishments , including defeating John Cena the night before at Hell in a Cell . The victory did not come without assistance . Despite his reluctance , The Nexus ’ newest disciple , Cena , assisted the group ’ s leader on several occasions throughout the match . Finally , with Barrett , Cena and Sheamus remaining , the Legendary star tossed the Irishman over the rope . Barrett then called on Cena to fall on his sword and step over the top rope , which The Nexus ’ newest member reluctantly did in order to prevent being fired . In the wake of the surprise victory , WWE Champion Randy Orton came directly to the ring to taunt his WWE Bragging Rights opponent , flashing the title in the Englishman ’ s face for all the WWE Universe to see .
