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.Ā
āFor some reason, people think Paul [Paul Levesque aka Triple H] told me I couldnāt 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, āWhat can you do physicality-wise?ā If anybody wants to know why Kevin Nash was at home, thatās why. He asked me what I could do physicality-wise.ā
āThatās the way I took it. The easiest thing to doā¦once you get there, then you have to tell everybody else, Steamboat and everyone else involved in this thing, āIām not doing it. Iām not doing anything.ā On top of that, you have people going through glass. Whether itās 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 Iāve been in the ring before when people have gotten injured. I promise you, theyāre going to sue AEW. Theyāre going to sue AEW and all the independent contractors involved in the match. It was just easier for meā¦I was at Ric Flairās retirement match, but I didnāt go to the match because I was worried for Ricās 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. Iāll just stay at home.ā
āNumber one, Iām going to be in the ring with the Young Bucks. Theyāre both athletic as fuck, and Iām in pretty damn good shape. Thereās no fucking way if Iām getting involved that Iām not powerbombing those two fuckers. Period. Iām going to powerbomb them both. Now, whose night is it? (Itās Stingās). So, why am I doing anything? Why am I powerbombing two guys heās going to beat later? Why am I involved? You take all that out of the equation if Iām 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 whatās right for me, I know whatās right for the match, I know whatās right for the evening. I did exactly what I thought was right, which is stay the fuck at home.ā
