Nightmare Fuel / The Nexus

Go To

  • Michael Tarver's out-of-nowhere appearance just before the NXT Riot; video of Tarver at a house show during another Nexus attack later that week - where he stared down the fan taping the show - was quite possibly even worse.
  • Previously-happy-go-lucky Justin Gabriel's thousand-yard-stare before nailing John Cena (and, later, Vince McMahon) with the 450 Splash.
  • The attack goes from shocking to truly nightmarish once the Nexus turn on the commentators, beating up Matt Striker and Jerry Lawler, sending Michael Cole fleeing for safety, and ripping apart the announcers' table. The entire rest of the episode plays out without any kind of commentary, just the sounds of the distraught crowd, the battle cries and taunts of the Nexus members, and the sounds of destruction and violence being inflicted, right up until the end where Cena is being wheeled out on a stretcher.
