A WWE Hall of Famer has clarified WWE signing rumours.
WWE is hotter than ever from every business and fan interest metric there is. This has led to many names being brought up as signing with the promotion.
While stars from AEW like Cody Rhodes, Brian Pillman Jr. and Jade Cargill have made the jump, there is also some intrigue in some returning stars making a comeback.
On a recent episode of Kliq This, Kevin Nash said, “The one thing that could have got me to AEW, WWE just signed…..Jade,” in reference to Jade Cargill, but this led to various outlets running a story that the former Diesel had re-signed with WWE.
On the latest edition of Kliq This, Nash clarified the rumours and made it clear that he had not signed with WWE. He said:
“We were talking about the WWE’s acquisition of Jade Cargill.”
“I, gushingly, said how attractive she was, Sean [Sean Oliver] said, ‘did you see her show up at the Performance Center?’ ‘She showed up in skin-tight back tights, a crop top with sunglasses and a headband.’ 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.'”
Nash continued on to explain that he is not getting back into the ring in any capacity, saying:
“I didn’t say that I was signed. I didn’t say I got a new deal. I didn’t say any of that shit, you stupid f**king 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 s**t.”
“You couldn’t get me in a f**king 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**k. I blew a quad taking a step. You think I’m getting in the ring at 64?”
