Bret Hart made his way to the ring to his intro song. “Hello Sacramento!” said Bret. He said for the past two weeks he’s been back home in Calgary training like an absolute lunatic training for Summerslam only to see everything fall apart. He said it was a huge disappointment. He said one week ago Edge and Chris Jericho decided to quit Team WWE. He said he put his reputation on the line and vouched for both of them. He assured Cena they had enough experience to see the big picture and know that Nexus’s momentum needs to be stopped right now. He said he was wrong, but it’s not too late so he’s going to take this opportunity to call Jericho and Edge to the ring so maybe “we can put this machine back together again.”

Jericho walked to the ring. He told Bret to go ahead and dazzle him and stroke his ego talk him into rejoining the team. Bret said he doesn’t have time “for that crap.” He said Jericho is like a man without a country if he turned his back on everybody with nowhere to go. He said this is his chance to step up and join Team WWE and make things right and do the honorable thing. Jericho thought it through. Bret asked if he was going to step up or disappoint his fans everywhere by being a quitter. Jericho hung his head and softly said Jericho made him think, but his answer is still no. He said, “I had you figured out years ago. You’re a phony, you’re a hypocrite just like them.” He said he’s just scared of getting beaten up tonight and being put in the Walls of Jericho. He said he’s scared and desperate and he can see it in his eyes. He said nobody can replace he and Edge. “Once again, in WWE, Bret Hart is screwed,” he said.

Edge walked out next. He asked Jericho what’s wrong with him. “This is Bret ‘The Hitman’ Hart,” he said. “We grew up idolizing him. He’s the reason we got into this business, Chris.” He said he had his poster on his wall and he shoveled driveways every winter to save money so he could go to Maple Leaf Gardens and hope that Bret put those sunglasses on his head. Edge said, “Bret, I don’t know about Jericho, but you can count me in.” Jericho walked out of the ring in disgust.Edge shook Bret’s hand, but then Edge tried to kick Bret. Bret caught his leg and set up a sharpshooter, but Jericho ran back in and popped Bret in the face. Natalya ran to the ring to check on Bret. She was hysterical. She told Bret something.

The cameras cut backstage to Nexus attacking Tyson Kidd and David Hart Smith. Wade Barrett looked at the camera and said, “It’s not your day, Bret.” He said the Hart Dynasty won’t be his replacements.

Backstage Edge asked Jericho where Bret gets off telling them what to do. Jericho told Edge that Bret might be right now that he thinks about it. He said if Nexus takes over Raw, they’ll be ostracized. Edge asked what they should do. Edge reminded Jericho that they survived and outlasted Steve Austin, The Rock, The Undertaker, DX, Mr. McMahon, and The Alliance. He said they’ll survive against Nexus. Jericho agreed that they are generals. He suggested they take out Cena and Bret later which would lead to the match at Summerslam being canceled, which he concluded meant they would be in the clear.

They went to ringside and Jericho slammed Cena’s head off the announcers’ table and yelled, “Cena, you are a stupid man.” Jericho rolled him back inside the ring and then nailed him with an elbow off the ropes for a near fall.

Afterward, Jericho threw the ring steps. Cena grabbed the mic and asked for a minute. Jericho turned and watched as Cena said the fans just saw one hell of a match between two of the best in WWE. Cena said he doesn’t want Jericho to leave Team Raw because he is the best in the world at what he does. Cena said he wouldn’t beg Jericho. “The choice is yours,” Cena said. He added that Jericho could come back and they could agree to coexist and handle their business or Jericho could turn around, walk out, and let everyone down. Jericho looked conflicted. He walked toward the ring, but then shook his head no and headed backstage while a shocked Cena looked on. Jericho stopped at the top of the stage for a moment, but then headed backstage…

Inside the arena, Cole stood up and announced that the general manager had ruled that Edge and Jericho will face John Cena and Bret Hart on next week’s Raw with all seven members of Nexus serving as lumberjacks. Edge and Jericho didn’t look pleased by the announcement…

Jericho came out wearing a suit and received “Y2J” chants from the live crowd. Jericho said he was standing backstage waiting for Cena to claim that the Raw team was his team. Jericho said he didn’t get involved in the feud to pander. He said he got involved with it because his protege Wade Barrett is leading Nexus.

Jericho warned Cena that once Nexus has been abolished at SummerSlam, he intends to turn his attention toward getting rid of the other threat known as Cena.
