10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About Kevin Nash
6. His 2011 Storyline With Triple H And CM Punk Was Awful
"OMG Kevin Nash WTF thought he was dead LOL." - CM Punk That was the funny line that CM Punk read while Kevin Nash was in the ring. That text was something he said was from his little sister as a way to mock Nash for being old and irrelevant. Nash was the main reason that Punk lost the WWE Title at SummerSlam 2011. Following Punk's WWE Title victory in a tough match against John Cena, Nash entered the arena and dropped Punk with a devastating Jackknife Powerbomb. That led to Alberto Del Rio entering the ring, cashing in the Money in the Bank briefcase and winning the WWE Title due to Punk being knocked out due to what Nash did to him. The assumption was that Nash would put over Punk in some kind of match. That didn't happen. Nash only wrestled for WWE on TV two times after his return in the summer of 2011. He beat Santino in a meaningless match in December 2011 (his first televised WWE match in 8 years) and then he lost to HHH in one of the most boring ladder matches ever at December 2011 TLC PPV. Having somebody screw CM Punk out of the WWE Title would have been a fine storyline if that person had to pay for what they did by wrestling Punk, but it never happened with Nash. They picked the wrong guy for this angle. He really shouldn't have had any involvement in the storyline.
