@plantshot: The Night Wade Barrett Won NXT (June 1, 2010) June 1, 2010 looked like the end of a competition. It was actually the beginning of something much bigger. Wade Barrett became the first winner in NXT history, earning a future championship opportunity and a WWE contract. But one week later, Barrett and his fellow rookies shocked the wrestling world when they arrived on Monday Night Raw as The Nexus. One victory. One leader. One moment that changed WWE forever.
