Kevin Nash Reveals Sting Inquired About His Physical Involvement at AEW Revolution

On his podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash shared thoughts about Sting's final match at the AEW Revolution 2024 PPV.

Nash explained that his absence from Sting's final match at AEW Revolution stemmed from his connections with WWE and a preference to avoid being televised. Nash mentioned that prior to the event, Sting inquired about what physical activities he could manage during the show. 

“For some reason, people think Paul [Paul Levesque aka Triple H] told me I couldn’t go. My thing was, I am the WWE guy, but when this thing first came out and came to fruition, I got contacted by Steve [Steve Borden aka Sting]. He was telling me what he wanted me to do and in that same breath he said, ‘What can you do physicality-wise?’ If anybody wants to know why Kevin Nash was at home, that’s why. He asked me what I could do physicality-wise.”

On if he was asked to be involved in Sting's final match:

“That’s the way I took it. The easiest thing to do…once you get there, then you have to tell everybody else, Steamboat and everyone else involved in this thing, ‘I’m not doing it. I’m not doing anything.’ On top of that, you have people going through glass. Whether it’s rigged glass or not, I talked to a friend of mine that said the shards of that glass, whether it was candy-coated safety or whatever, cut people that were in the crowd. I think it was the one where Sting hit with his ass. All you need is someone to get some kind of injury, and I’ve been in the ring before when people have gotten injured. I promise you, they’re going to sue AEW. They’re going to sue AEW and all the independent contractors involved in the match. It was just easier for me…I was at Ric Flair’s retirement match, but I didn’t go to the match because I was worried for Ric’s health. The last thing I wanted to do was see something happen to one of my friends. It was the same thing with this. The last thing I want to do is be in person and watch one of my friends get hurt. I’ll just stay at home.”

On potentially getting physically if he took part in the match:

“Number one, I’m going to be in the ring with the Young Bucks. They’re both athletic as fuck, and I’m in pretty damn good shape. There’s no fucking way if I’m getting involved that I’m not powerbombing those two fuckers. Period. I’m going to powerbomb them both. Now, whose night is it? (It’s Sting’s). So, why am I doing anything? Why am I powerbombing two guys he’s going to beat later? Why am I involved? You take all that out of the equation if I’m sitting on my couch in Florida. It had nothing to do with Triple H. It had nothing to do with me being a WWE guy. It had everything to do with I know what’s right for me, I know what’s right for the match, I know what’s right for the evening. I did exactly what I thought was right, which is stay the fuck at home.”
