RAW Report 6/14/10 Charlotte, North Carolina

This week’s RAW starts with a video recap of the NXT’s rookies attacking Cena and everyone else in their path, then Wade Barrett talking about it on the newest episode of NXT last Tuesday.

Wade Barrett is in the ring, glowering. The fans are hot. He says for those who don’t know him, he’s Wade Barrett, the Season 1 winner of NXT. He’s there because he’s been forced to apologize for what he did last week. He wants to call out the rest of the guys and do it right. All of the NXT boys come through the crowd. Obviously missing is Bryan. Cole, King and everyone else ringside left. King followed them out to be sure. Wade told Slater to apologize. He said absolutely not. He’d do it again in a heartbeat. Gabriel? No, he still has Goosebumps from last week. Skip? No apologies. No regrets. Tarver? The look of fear of everyone’s eyes were in his dreams all week. Why apologize when there’s no one in the WWE who can make him? Darren? Not a change. Had the time of his life last week. Otunga? For what? They need to apologize to them. Wade says it’s unanimous. The problem with NXT is they were treated like dirt. They were treated like animals and when that happens people turn into animals. They were made to change in a room no bigger than a broom cupboard. They were made to compete in ridiculous challenges. They were at the whim of WWE Pros. And then, worst of they had WWE management who changed the rules on a moment’s notice. Eliminated them on a whim. Made an international joke of them. Jokes are mean to be funny, but none of them were laughing after last Monday. They left the Champion laying and impressed everyone who saw them. So let him tell… Bret cut him off. He said eight guys on one doesn’t make anyone tough. Make them look more like cowards than anything else. Last week they attacked Cena, Punk. Beat up Straight Edge Society, security, announcers, the time keeper and a HOFer. Wade says there was another member, Daniel Bryan. Strangely enough he had some remorse. You’ll never see Daniel Bryan here again. What’s your point. Bret says despite everything Cena will be at Fatal 4 Way. Wade say this has nothing to do with Cena or the fans. It’s between them and management. They have no trouble with anyone in the locker room. They could stay out here arguing or get to business. Business is this. He has a contract and a title shot at a PPV of his choosing. These guys behind have demands of their own. Bret asks what they are? Otunga says, like Barrett, they all want guaranteed WWE contracts. They want their own dressing rooms, no more changing in closets and hallways. They also want first class travel to it all. If they don’t get it, last week will be just the beginning. Wade says a couple weeks ago Vince told him he’d have difficult decision. This isn’t one of them. They’re highly polished, all they need is a contract. Bret says he’s right that it’s his job to find fresh talent, but his answer is no. he’s not signing any of them, as far as he’s concerned. Wade says he’s making a mistake. Bret says they made a big mistake attacking Cena. On account of his actions, he’s not the new, big star, he’s not getting the PPV title match. Why? Because he’s fired. Now, they can get out of the ring or he’ll call the police and have them all arrested. They’re through whether they like it or not. Bret leaves. They all look pissed in the ring. The fans start singing them out, even though they don’t leave.
