Raw Results 10/11/10

Raw Results from Seattle, WA:

Raw opened without the intro theme video. Michael Cole welcomed fans to the arena in Seattle, right before Cena's music hit and he arrived out to the ring. Cole and Lawler noted the mixed reaction to Cena following him joining Nexus. Cena paused with the mic in the ring to observe the mix of cheers and jeers.

Cena discussed how last week he heard chants of "Never Give up," and he promised he never will. He then talked about the risk he took for Hell in a Cell to try to end Nexus, but he made a deal and has to honor it. He brought up how he needs to take orders from Wade Barrett or get fired from WWE. Cena started to explain that he has to do some things the WWE Universe might not want to see. Just then, The Miz's music hit and he came out to the ring along with Alex Riley.

Miz told Cena he took it upon himself to captain Team Raw for the Bragging Rights PPV. He said unlike Cena he doesn't assemble teams by what they do personally. Miz offered Cena a spot on Team Raw to defeat Smackdown at Bragging Rights. Cena said it sounds like a great idea, except for the Miz as captain. Cena said he's got nothing else to do for the PPV so he'll captain Team Raw. Just as they started arguing, Wade Barrett arrived out from backstage.

Barrett said he doesn't care about Raw or Smackdown, just Nexus and the WWE Title. He told Cena he needs his attention on one thing only for Bragging Rights, being in his corner when he takes on Randy Orton for the WWE Title. He told Cena to forget about the rest of the stuff. Alex Riley got into the convo, saying Cena should listen to Barrett, since Miz might end up cashing in his MITB briefcase to become WWE Champ at the PPV.
Just as Miz was agreeing, an email came in from the GM. Cole read the email saying everyone on the Raw roster answers to the GM. The GM said they want Raw to have the best possible team to face Smackdown. Tonight there will be a series of matches with the winners going on to be on Team Raw. The GM said there's only one true captain, determined by a main event match later, with John Cena vs. The Miz.

Miz got into Barrett's face, prompting Wade to snap back. Miz and Riley started a beatdown on Wade with Cena just watching. Finally, Barrett was able to signal Cena to step in and save him. It ended with an Attitude Adjustment given to Riley before Miz and Riley escaped the ring. Barrett got back in the ring and screamed at Cena for not taking action sooner.
