Kevin Nash says he and fellow WWE legend Steve Austin have agreed to stop watching all AEW programming for the timebeing. Note the wording - that includes Dynamite, Rampage, Dark, Dark: Elevation and All Elite pay-per-views.

The former Diesel told listeners via his 'Kliq This' podcast that this decision isn't meant as a knock against any wrestlers on the AEW roster. In fact, according to big Kev, Kenny Omega is his "favourite wrestler" right now. So, why isn't he tuning in to see Omega work?

Nash described it as "like Lent", and called the idea a "pact" between former stars. Apparently, The Undertaker is about to get in on the action too, although it's fairly difficult to picture 'Taker sitting down to check out Rampage on a Friday evening anyway.

When pressed, Kevin didn't go in anymore details on exactly why he and Austin had decided to tune out from AEW. He didn't bash the product, any of the booking or Tony Khan. Instead, he simply said that they'd cut a deal to quit watching All Elite Wrestling for now.

The Twitterverse will have a field day with that one.
