[4] Heath Slater and Justin Gabriel also left The Nexus and were moved to the SmackDown brand,[5] joining Barrett and Ezekiel Jackson to create The Corre.

[11] The following night on Raw, Gabriel and Slater lost and regained the championship to John Cena and WWE Champion The Miz.

[14] However, the stable lost a match at WrestleMania XXVII against Big Show, Kane, Kofi Kingston, and Santino Marella in under two minutes.

[18] On the May 6 episode of SmackDown, Jackson refused to celebrate with the rest of The Corre when he defeated Big Show, instead choosing to walk out on them after his match, thus leading to Barrett, Gabriel and Slater attacking him backstage and removing him from the group.

[20] On the June 10 episode of SmackDown, Barrett, fleeing from Jackson, walked out on Gabriel and Slater in a six-man tag team match against Jackson and The Usos (Jey and Jimmy Uso), leaving them handicapped and causing them to lose the match, after which Gabriel and Slater confronted Barrett and declared the dissolution of the faction.
