Former WWE Champion and Hall-Of-Famer Kevin Nash has moved to quash rumours that he is set to make a surprising return to the organisation, particularly in an in-ring capacity.

'Big Daddy Cool' made the remarks on a recent edition of his "Kliq This" podcast, noting that prior reports of him signing with the group had been taken out of context and that he'd been discussing the hypothetical choice Jade Cargill had to make rather than himself.

As he eloquently put it;

"We were talking about the WWE’s acquisition of Jade Cargill...It was pretty damn clear we were doing a little bit. Then, Sean threw a couple things back and forth and said, ‘So you wouldn’t go to AEW?’ I said, ‘Yeah, maybe for five or six million dollars and a private airplane, but the reason I was going to go just came and was signed by the WWE.’ I didn’t say that I was signed. I didn’t say I got a new deal. I didn’t say any of that sh*t, you stupid f*cking wresting news people. Why don’t you follow something up? You obviously didn’t listen to it because you would have known I was talking about Jade, not about me, I didn’t sign sh*t. You couldn’t get me in a f*cking ring…you’d shoot me in the back of the head before I’d get into a ring. Paul Levesque [Triple H] was probably 46 when he did a Harley Race over the top and tore his pec. F*ck. I blew a quad taking a step. You think I’m getting in the ring at 64?!

Nash last wrestled in 2018, working for Big Time Wrestling in Rhode Island having done a number of dates for the group and other select indies. His final WWE match to date was the 2014 Royal Rumble, where he eliminated Jack Swagger before being one of the many to get tossed out by Roman Reigns.
