Big Daddy Cool Kevin Nash is in hot waters after admitting he won’t be present for The Icon Sting’s match at AEW Revolution PPV. This comes as a surprise because Sting will be wrestling his last match on March 3, 2024.

Nash revealed on his Kliq This podcast that “He (Sting) asked me to be a part of it, I just said that, you know, with my positioning with WWE I couldn’t”. With Triple H in charge of creative decisions, fans were hoping he would allow Nash to appear at the AEW PPV.

Is Triple H & WWE prohibiting Nash from going to AEW?

Nash even said that he had asked people in WWE,” but the long pause after the question told him everything he needed to know about whether they’d be okay with him being a part of anything AEW” After the statement, many believed Nash was on WWE’s payroll and was forbidden to appear on AEW. In the latest episode of Kliq This podcast Nash clarified his previous statement. He never used the word payroll instead meant closeness to higher-ups in WWE. He said “No, I never said that. What I said was, I’m a WWE guy. I can’t have a picture of me of the crowd and underneath it say ‘is All Elite.’ I just can’t have that. It just doesn’t work….One of my closest f*****g friends is Paul Levesque.”
