Kevin Nash Delivers Damning Verdict On Disgraced Former WWE Executive
Kevin Nash has given his thoughts on John Laurinaitis.
On May 28, it was announced that John Laurinaitis has agreed to oppose Vince McMahon in a high-profile sexual abuse lawsuit. WWE’s former Head of Talent Relations will now work with Janel Grant’s legal team against McMahon after he was removed as a defendant.
This means that Laurinaitis has essentially turned his back on McMahon after agreeing to a “confidential settlement.”
The move marks yet another U-turn for the former executive after he initially said he was also a victim of McMahon’s. However, he quickly jumped back onside with McMahon after claiming the allegations made in the lawsuit were false.
In January 2024, former WWE employee Janel Grant filed a lawsuit against McMahon, Laurinaitis, and WWE in which she alleged she was a victim of sexual abuse and sex trafficking.
Kevin Nash Shares Opinion On John Laurinaitis
On the latest episode of his Kliq This podcast, Kevin Nash gave his thoughts on the controversy surrounding Laurinaitis and his decision to now oppose McMahon. Nash began by revealing that Laurinaitis would go out of his way to cause trouble while trying to appear important.
“He was one of those guys that would come in and to show his worth to the office. He would say, ‘Hey, I know how we can f**k these guys. We’ll put a time clock, and they got to sign it, and if they’re not in by a certain time, then we’ll fine them, and then that’s why we can get us all this, some of this f**king guaranteed money that we got all these guys, because they won’t show up at 11 o’clock.’
[This is] not understanding that the number one thing that differentiates you from being an employee to being a f*cking 1099, is f**king not having to show up to work on a certain time,”
Nash surmised that Laurinaitis’ life is “f*cked.”
“His life is f**ked, like he sees he’s f**ked,” Nash said. “I’m sure he’s at the point where he’s… I don’t see him at signings. I don’t know what he’s doing for money. I mean, I’m sure his life is destroyed by this.”
Meanwhile, it’s reported that Vince McMahon is in the early stages of launching his first post-WWE business venture. The company, named 14TH & I, is a “private investment firm focused on the sports, media, & entertainment sectors.”
