Kevin Nash says he has ‘no heat’ with LA Knight after WWE SummerSlam conversation
Kevin Nash says there’s “no heat” between him and LA Knight.
Last summer on his podcast, Nash was critical of Knight, at one point referring to him as “an absolute rip off of The Rock.” That September on an episode of SmackDown, Knight seemingly poked fun at a famous promo of Nash’s from WCW when he confused verbs and adjectives.
Nash was then critical of Knight again on his podcast the following week, saying:
“I’m in the Hall of Fame twice, both times as Kevin Nash, I mean he’s LA Knight, what the fuck is an LA Knight?”
Nash attended WWE SummerSlam earlier this month and saw Knight defeat Logan Paul to win the United States Championship. On the latest episode of Kliq This, Nash said the two talked backstage at the event and that Knight seemed like “a really nice guy.”
Nash said:
“LA Knight was sitting at the end of the table and I sat down at the table behind him and he turned around and I just said to him, ‘So, are you finally getting to go over tonight?’ He goes, ‘Something like that.’”
“He seemed like a really nice guy. There was no heat between us,” Nash continued.
“Nobody is trying to hurt anybody this business. I wasn’t trying to take food off his table.”
“Other people have mocked my words to him in promos on their television so I’d rather be the guy being talked about than the guy not being talked about, that’s just the way I look at it.”
Nash details other meetings he had backstage at WWE SummerSlam throughout the episode. It is available in full below.
