Tokyo, Japan (August 21st, 2010) Randy Orton beat Wade Barrett.
Barrett came out first and cut a great promo, saying he’d been studying some Japanese. The crowd disagreed with his assessments of ‘Nexus-ichiban’ (number one) and ‘Japan-not ichiban.’ His lessons amounted to one word then. Barrett said he was sending out an open challenge and Orton obliged. They had about twelve minutes of a normal Orton match, solid if unspectacular. Toward the end, Otunga came out to interfere, but a miscue led to the Nexus members butting heads and Orton landing the RKO. He followed up with an emphatic second RKO before scoring the pin, which might not say good things about Nexus going forward. Barrett definitely looked comfortable with the big star though.

Afterward, Sheamus got a chair and tried to hit Orton with it, but Orton ducked and hit the RKO for a huge buzz from the crowd.

When the faces pinned the heels at the same time. Cena pinning Rhodes was the legal pinfall. DX and Cena got monster reactions. Glow sticks a plenty!

After the match Cena, DX and Hornswoggle posed for the fans and did the crotch chop in unison.

November 6th Show (Newcastle, England)
John Cena, Triple H & Shawn Michaels b. Randy Orton, Ted DiBiase & Cody Rhodes.
This was funny from the get go. DX came out everyone was on their feet. They did their are you ready bit. Then HHH ripped into the ring announcer for being ill all night on the way down to Newcastle and tells everyone to give him a smack in the head. His mic is still cutting out all the time. Before HBK could do his if your not down with that bit Cena’s music played and he came out. Cena was the big fan favourite of the little kids. The Ortons music starts to play. HHH gets the mic and tells Randy to stay in the back. He then starts ripping into the sound guy called Ralf, getting him to stand up, for making a mess of the intros and the mics and invites everyone to go a smack him in the head too. He then begs HBK to do the if your not down with that promo. Legacy comes out and they get in the ring and start talking and laughing with Cena and DX. The match gets under way. Not to bad a match and then you found out why they were laughing.HBK tries to roll up Ted Dibiase and pulls down his trunks shown his ass. Then Orton and Rhodes get in to help him and Cena and HHH do the same to them. Basically there were 3 guys running round the ring with their asses out and HHH, HBK and Cena laughing their heads off. Later the finish came with Legacy clearing the ring and Hornswoggle comes out of nowhere. He gives Orton Sweet Shin Music and Orton sells it like crazy. DX and Cena get in the ring and give Orton, DiBiase and Rhodes they’re own finishers saving Hornswoggle.

Randy Orton beat Kofi Kingston.
A great match that showed a lot of promise for their current feud. Kofi got a lot of offence in and looked to have Orton beaten on multiple occasions. Orton ended up winning after Kofi missed with the Trouble In Paradise, and walked into an RKO out of nowhere. Kofi got a big reaction from the crowd after this match.
