In 2001, World Wrestling Entertainment's two biggest competitors, WCW: World Championship Wrestling and ECW: Extreme Championship Wrestling, both went out of business and were purchased by Vince McMahon and WWE. This resulted in an invasion storyline involving a war for supremecy between WWE and the WCW/ECW Alliance. Of course, WWE emerged victorious and WCW and ECW were both silenced once and for all.

In February of 2010, WWE's revival of ECW, which was resurrected in 2006, was closed down and replaced by a new third brand called WWE NXT. This eight-man rookie competition was won by Wade Barrett, who then led the NXT rookies on a reign of terror on both WWE Monday Night Raw and Friday Night SmackDown (but specifically Raw). This group of soldiers was known as The Nexus.

Many people remember the 2001 Invasion as the last of "the good old days" of wrestling, but many people thought that WWE did not utilize that storyline properly and to its full potential. Many people thought that the 2010 Nexus invasion ushered in a new level of intensity and unpredictability in WWE programming that hadn't been seen in years, though not everybody loved The Nexus.
