Kevin Nash has openly shared his criticisms of CM Punk, stemming from their tumultuous history that includes a notable feud in 2011 which never culminated in a match. Nash provided clarity on the underlying reason for his discontent with Punk during a recent episode of his podcast, Kliq This.
Nash asserted that while many may believe Punk’s infamous promo that seemingly sidelined him was the crux of their issues, that isn’t the case. “The one thing CM Punk did that Kevin Nash could never forgive him… People will say, ‘Buried you that promo where you couldn’t cut one back?’ No, dude. I was fucking glad because he was fucking over. Where his heat with me is, he left ten fucking years of huge money on the floor. That’s my heat,” Nash stated. He emphasized his long-held belief that the only aspects that truly matter in wrestling are money and the miles traveled. Nash noted, “You ain’t doing no miles if there ain’t no money,” underscoring his frustration with Punk’s extended absence from wrestling, especially after Punk returned to the ring with AEW in 2021 and later made a surprising return to WWE at Survivor Series 2023.
