By The States Alert | New York City
Kevin Nash, the 65-year-old WWE Hall of Famer known as “Diesel” and one of the original members of the nWo, has been in the news a lot this week. From confirming his retirement to sharing his thoughts on WWE’s creative choices and offering public support, there’s a lot to highlight!
In a clear and direct message on his latest Click This podcast, Nash put an end to any speculation about a possible return to wrestling. As reported by WrestlingWorld, Nash said:
“Don’t f—‑ing worry… There’s no reason for me to do anything I don’t feel like doing.”
This clarification came after fans started discussing a workout photo he posted on Instagram. Nash clarified that he loves staying fit, but he has no intention of going back into the ring for active competition.
Endorsed LA Knight for WWE World title
Furthering his role as a wrestling expert, Nash recently praised rising star L.A. Knight, saying the former U.S. Champion deserves a chance for the WWE World Title. In an interview with Bodyslam.net, he shared:
“I think he’s a f—‑ing solid hand… He would definitely be on my list of guys to give a World Title run to.”
It’s a remarkable transformation for Nash who previously had some harsh words for Knight – who is now recognised as a top performer who not only has the physical prowess but also knows how to get a crowd excited.
Reflects on R‑Truth’s Recent “Work” Storyline
Nash also shared his thoughts on WWE’s R-Truth (Ron Killings) storyline, which involved him heading into retirement but being brought back in a big storyline with John Cena. He praised the way the storyline was crafted, calling it a “great job“, and pointed out that WWE releasing farewell merchandise ahead of the big reveal indicates a well thought out plan rather than a last minute decision. His insight really adds a layer of credibility to the success of the storyline.
Hollywood crossovers and fan engagement
In addition to wrestling commentary, Nash is also busy with some exciting projects in the entertainment world:
He is set to make a cameo in the upcoming dramatic comedy “Caroline,” which was filmed in Syracuse.
Additionally, he is scheduled to meet at SummerSlam 2025, giving fans a great opportunity to connect with the wrestling legend right before the biggest wrestling event of the summer.
