week when prompted by Barrett, as he had been asked to do by higher-ups earlier in the day. When confronted by Hall of Famer Bret Hart, who was named Raw General Manager three weeks earlier, they threatened to continue the attacks if their list of demands - especially getting guaranteed WWE contracts - were not met. Nexus was established as the main heel stable on Raw, attacking several wrestlers and legends over the next several weeks, including Hart and McMahon themselves and fellow Hall of Famers Ricky Steamboat and Dusty Rhodes.

Nexus members Heath Slater and Darren Young later stated that they agreed that The Nexus'
