Wade Barrett comes out to accept the award. He says that he accepts the award on behalf of the Nexus. Wade says that the Nexus wouldn’t be here if not from him. Had he not won NXT Season 1, and brought the members with him, then the Nexus never would have become one of the most dominant groups in the history of the WWE. Wade also mentions that he is the one man with the power to rehire John Cena. The members of the Nexus have laid out the ultimatum that if he doesn’t rehire Cena, they will excommunicate him. Wade says that he hasn’t made up his mind yet, but he will make his decision before the end of the night. In the meantime, you can be sure that Wade Barrett will be making more shocking moments in the history of the WWE.
