Former World Heavyweight Champion Kevin Nash recently spoke to Sports Illustrated about current events in WWE. The Hall of Famer talked about Roman Reigns being suspended for failing a drug test, which has reportedly gotten Reigns major heat with WWE Chairman Vince McMahon. Nash believes that despite this being a bad time for Reigns, he will go on to be a major star.
“Every time I talk to him, he seems like a really well-adjusted, very nice gentleman,” Nash said. “I think he’s got a great look, I think he’s very athletic, I think things will work out for him. It’s just a bad time for him right now, but he’ll be a big star for that company.”
With last Thursday marking the 20-year anniversary of the formation of the New World Order in WCW, Nash was asked about The Club using their “too sweet” hand gesture on TV. Nash also took the opportunity to address what he feels is mishandling of AJ Styles, Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows by the WWE creative team.
“If you’re over enough to use that, and the people don’t sh– on you, you’re over. I don’t mind it at all,” Nash said. “I just didn’t like them bringing in Doc and Anderson, then having that six-man elimination match [against Roman Reigns and The Uso’s]. There is no reason to beat those two guys coming in the door. You’re missing heel talent, and you’re going to beat these two guys? But they corrected it. It’s almost like, ‘No one can get over you except us,’ even though you were over someplace else. They make the reference to AJ like he was a Japan guy–he was a TNA guy. He was in Japan for like a year. And the thing is, he’s tearing the TV up.”
