RAW Results - 1st November
Location - Uniondale, New York
Announcers - Michael Cole & Jerry "The King" Lawler

We are live from Uniondale, New York and your announcers are Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler.

Randy Orton comes to the ring and he holds the belt over his head. He says that there isn’t a man alive that can take the title from him, but if someone did, he would not be happy with it. He would not want it to be because of a crooked referee. Especially if that crooked referee was John Cena. Randy says that he would like John Cena . . . Crooked Referee to come to the ring because if he is going to screw him over at Survivor Series, he should be man enough to do it to his face.

John Cena comes to the ring and he is in his alternate Nexus gear which looks a lot like John Cena’s shirt. Cena says that he wants Orton to cut him some slack. He knows that Randy is the WWE Champion. They have both been there before. He says that they know that titles are won or lost. John says that if Barrett wins, he is out of Nexus, but if Orton wins, Cena is fired. Cena says that he will call it down the middle, but if something happens in the ring, he doesn’t . . . Cena says that this chaos and unrest in the WWE Universe means that he doesn’t know what he is going to do.

Orton says that this is Cena’s bleeding heart way of saying that he will screw him over at Survivor Series. Orton says that if Cena screws him over, he keeps his job, but John Cena will be the biggest phony in the WWE. He tells Cena that he shouldn’t talk about Hustle, Loyalty, or Respect if he is going to do Wade Barrett’s bidding. Orton tells Cena to get out of his ring.

Orton says that Cena can’t get out of the ring without asking his master for permission.

Cena says that he hates having to be an errand boy. He says that Barrett has everyone under his control. Cena says that Barrett might have enough skill to compete for the WWE Title, but we know that he is classless so he will not do it the right way. He says that Wade Barrett doesn’t know about respect.

Nexus comes out and they are now a team of six men with two title belts as they stand on the stage in their warrior formation. Barrett thanks Cena for those kind words. Wade says that he will allow Cena to say whatever he wants about Wade because he knows that actions speak louder than words. When push comes to shove, he will do what he is told and at Survivor Series, Cena will raise Barrett’s hand as WWE Champion.

Cena says that in three weeks it is over. He is either out of Nexus or he is fired (as Wade Barrett reminds him). Cena wants a moment with his ‘boss’. In three weeks, it comes to a head and regardless of what happens, he will not go quietly. He will leave a parting gift and he will beat the hell out of Wade Barrett.

Orton says that he doesn’t have to wait until Survivor Series. He says that Wade is nothing more than a pathetic child who has to hide behind seven other guys. He will beat on Wade until he is unconscious. Orton says that all his boy will have to do is count to ten and raise his hand. Orton challenges Wade to come to the ring but before that can happen . . .

The official Buzzkill of the WWE makes its presence known. Michael Cole climbs Mount Buzzkill and he quotes. As the WWE Champion, he feels for his position. Everyone wants to know what John Cena is going to do and we will find out tonight. Wade Barrett and a partner of his choice will face Randy Orton and a partner of his choosing. The guest referee will be John Cena.
