A former WWE champion has revealed his future in wrestling.

Kevin Nash has stated that he is done with fights and will never return for any wrestling segment involving physicality.

Nash was last featured in the Stamford-based company during the 2014 Royal Rumble, where he entered as the #14 participant.

Later that year, he inducted his nWo stablemate, Scott Hall, into the WWE Hall of Fame.

The 65-year-old has been retired for seven years now, with his last wrestling match coming at the now-defunct Big Time Wrestling in August 2018.

While appearing in his latest Kliq This podcast, along with co-host Sean Oliver, Nash discussed whether there were talks about him making a comeback.

I’m not going to do anything [in the ring]. Of course, [On if WWE approached him about coming back to the ring]. [32:48 onward]

Since he began wrestling as a professional, Kevin Nash has been associated with Hollywood, starring in movies such as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II, John Wick, and the Magic Mike trilogy.

Kevin Nash Names His Missed WWE Opportunity

Kevin Nash made his second return to WWE at the 2011 SummerSlam and attacked CM Punk.

Punk was at the peak of his wrestling career, having delivered a scathing pipebomb only a couple of months prior and also being the newly-crowned champion.

The pair faced off a few times, with a match seemingly taking shape. However, that never happened due to him not being medically cleared.

Nash recalled this missed opportunity during a 2023 episode of his podcast Kliq This.

I never got that match with Punk, I wish I had that.

You know what, though, I’ve been blessed, man, I went out for 8 or 9 years of my life and was across a Hall of Famer almost every night, so I don’t have too many regrets.

The former WWE champion confirmed that he will be at SummerSlam 2025 for a meet and greet with fans.
