Everyone battled at the bell.  It powdered down to Jericho working over Orton but Cena, who Jericho had tossed out of the ring, returned.  Cena and Jericho faced off.  Jericho shoved Cena into a corner but was caught with the RKO and pinned.

Chris Jericho has been eliminated.

Cena even asked if that was really three.  According to his claims, he's done with WWE. Jericho received a huge "Y2J" chant as he exited.  Edge looked like he was screwed with the idea being that they had plans to work together.  They focused for a long time on Jericho's exit with the rest of the match stopping. 

When they started again, Barrett found himself circled by the other four as they got to give him the beatdown the Nexus has given all of them.  They dispatched Barrett out of the ring.  Cena and Orton then tossed Sheamus and Edge out.  Orton and Cena faced off but Barrett attacked them.  The heels all began beating down the babyfaces.  Barrett tried to get the heels to work together but they wanted nothing to do with him.  They doubled on him.

Cena and Sheamus went back and forth.  Sheamus nailed an elbow and Cena crumpled in the corner.  Sheamus controlled Cena and placed him on the top rope for the Celtic Cross.  Cena used back elbows to avoid the move.  He fought off Sheamus but got his foot caught as he came down.  Edge and Sheamus worked over Cena and placed him back atop the ropes.  They went for a double suplerplex and nailed it.  Edge covered him but Cena kicked out.

With Cena down and out,  they went to the floor and attacked Barrett, sending him into the guard rails.  They then turned their attention to Orton, dragging him to the ring and tossing him in.  Sheamus began pummeling Orton's chest with punches.  Edge and Sheamus continued to work over everyone, maintaining the control.  Edge tried to turn on Sheamus but missed the spear and Sheamus hit the Irish Curse Backbreaker.
