Kevin Nash explains why his planned WWE match against CM Punk in 2011 never happened
While speaking on his podcast, Kevin Nash explained why his planned WWE match against CM Punk in 2011 never happened…
“When I was supposed to wrestle CM Punk after I cost him the belt [at SummerSlam], he said something that pissed off Paul [Triple H] about something with him and Stephanie. It wasn’t on the script, and it pissed Paul off.
Paul came back and basically said, ‘You’re not wrestling Punk. I am. I’m beating that motherf*cker.’ Like, he was that hot.
So I know how hot [he] can get, and it wasn’t like Paul is a b*tch. It was like, ‘Oh, okay, motherf*cker.’ Basically like, ‘Oh, okay. Kliq rules. Like, you want to pull them out and measure them? Here we go. Suck on that.’
But I know how f*cking much Paul cares for him now, and what it took to bring him back, and everything that happened. And Paul trusting Phil [Punk] with everything that he’s done, and vice versa for each other, that relationship.
That’s what people don’t understand that aren’t in the business—you can have that kind of f*cking heat with somebody ten years ago. but man, when you got to make money and make music together, how quickly that dissolves.”
