As for what John Cener did to Nexus...
Basically for those unfamiliar Wade Barrett won his contract on NXT and immediately just started destroying the WWE superstars at the time. Punk, Cena, everyone was getting trashed backstage by the Barrett led Nexus (Otunga, Gabriel, Skip Sheffield (lol Ryback), Heath Slater, Darren Young and ... shit... that other guy that wore the mask). It was pretty awesome. The story was that NXT was invading, and it was great. Barrett had the IC title for a bit in there, and they just kept on rolling through people. Barrett himself was headlining ppv's left and right.
Then at SummerSlam in 2010 (I think) team Nexus lost to Team WWE and it was pretty much done. Barrett eventually rekindled the ol feud with Cena a short while later and in one episode of Smackdown, in a match that lasted under 5 minutes Cena destroyed him. That was basically it. Punk took over Nexus, but it didn't go anywhere because he then started on his aim to grab that Championship belt. Barrett then got slapped with the cowardly heel angle, and was pretty much just horribly used for the next year or so.
