Raw Results from Lexington, KY:

Raw opened with highlights of the various attacks Cena has suffered from The Nexus as well as last week's ordered truce between John Cena and Wade Barrett in the ring. Cena refused to shake and went for Attitude Adjustment. He ended up attacked by Nexus. The Raw locker room rushed out to chase them off, but Darren Young was left in the ring. Cena slapped the STF on him to send a message. The anonymous Raw GM sent an email to let Cena know he'd be in a 7-on-1 handicap match against Nexus on Raw tonight. Cena continued beating up on Darren Young after he learned his fate.

Jerry Lawler announced that due to the beatdown Cena gave Darren Young last week, he won't be present for tonight's handicap match. Instead it will be a 6-on-1. John Cena came out to start the show off. Cena talked about how Sheamus wasn't one of the guys to come help him out last week, but that's ok because he'll wake up without the WWE Title next Monday. Cena talked up the upcoming Steel Cage match for the PPV. Cena told Sheamus he won't have anywhere to run in a steel cage, and nobody can interfere. Next, Cena talked about how he'll take out Nexus one-by-one. That brought them out to the stage wearing T-shirts with yellow squares and black N's.

Wade Barrett spoke telling Cena he brought this all on himself by being hotheaded. Wade said Nexus stands for a much bigger picture and told Cena he disrespected the GM. As Cena was responding the email sound signaled and Michael Cole interrupted. The Raw GM's email said if any WWE Superstars intervene in Cena's match tonight they get a 90-day suspension. It also said that Nexus members must legally tag in and out of the match. If not then they get suspended 90 days. Barrett told Cena they'll play by the rules but he'll be all alone tonight. Cena said to Wade he might take him down tonight but Cena's taking some of them down too.

Maryse pulled away from him angrily. Dibiase said when he wins the briefcase he'll shower her with gifts, and he'll win the WWE Championship. John Morrison's music came on to interrupt.

Morrison said not to worry about showering Maryse with gifts, because the French don't shower. Maryse started going off in French so Morrison translated by making stuff up about what she said.

Raw returned with a Brady Bunch spoof theme video except it had Santino and the song was about him assembling his team of three partners: Vladimir Kozlov, Great Khali and Goldust.

There was no laugh track. Flo Henderson told Regal he gets no laughs because he's not funny. Regal made a remark saying if he wanted family advice he'll ask the Partridge Family.

Edge gained control late in the match. Orton had him ready for the DDT from the middle rope. Edge escaped though and planted Orton face first into the mat for a near fall.
