Raw Results: Seven on Cena
John Cena showed up in the ring, as ordered by Raw’s mystery GM, to commence a truce ceremony with The Nexus’s de facto leader, Wade Barrett. While the Brit tried to assure his rival that his group’s attacks weren’t personal, Cena remained understandably skeptical.
But Barrett offered his hand to seal the truce, and Cena finally accepted. When The Nexus boss attempted to pull away, however, he quickly found himself angling for an Attitude Adjustment. Before Cena could lower the guillotine, though, he was attacked by The Nexus’ remaining six members. Just then, Cena’s pals rolled in for the rescue.
The Nexus escaped, though, except for Darren Young, who suffered an STF at the hands of Cena. As a means of punishment, the mystery GM is forcing Cena to face The Nexus next week in a 7-on-1 Handicap Match. Full results.

Mark Madden Comments on Dixie Carter's "Big Surprise"
"Remember the BIG SURPRISE TNA money mark Dixie Carter promised? You know, the one that would change the industry?
It was Paul Heyman. Supposed to be, anyway.
But Heyman, a guy who’s smart WAY beyond pro wrestling, wouldn’t bite. Not that it took Einstein to see that what Carter offered was insanity dipped in stupidity coated with a slick veneer of guaranteed failure. Any hope Carter had of landing Heyman was rendered moot when she presented him with a working environment that resembled a Three Stooges script: Bad situation gets worse thanks to idiocy perpetrated by buffoons that just WON’T GO AWAY..."
