Kevin Nash Turned Down Invite To Sting’s Last Match Because Of A Conflict Of Interest With WWE

Kevin Nash will be unable to attend Sting‘s last match.

After a nearly four-decade career, “The Icon” Sting will officially hang up his wrestling boots at AEW Revolution on March 3. For this occasion, Sting, along with Darby Allin, will defend the AEW Tag Team titles against The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) in a tornado tag match.

Given that this will be his retirement match, Sting has extended invitations for some of his former colleagues to attend, one of whom is his former WCW and TNA ally, Kevin Nash.

On a recent episode of Kliq This, Kevin Nash revealed that Sting had asked him to attend his final match. Unfortunately, due to Nash’s current commitments with WWE, he would be unable to partake in the festivities at AEW Revolution.

“He asked me to be a part of it. And I just said that because of my positioning with WWE, I couldn’t. If I went in the crowd, it would be [a potential conflict of interest]. I just think he wanted me to be there because I was just one of the guys that’s been with him the whole run,” Nash said.

“I think he was disappointed — I mean, I was disappointed but I knew [that WWE would say no],” he added. “When you ask and there’s that three, four-second pause, it’s just like, ‘Okay’. It’s like when you’d be on the road. ‘Hey babe, we’re in Fort Wayne. I’m going to go to Stewie’s strip joint, you got a problem with that?’ Nothing. I’d say, ‘Remember babe, I put you through college working strip joints. I don’t give a f*** what you do.’”

“I’ve never been in Stewie’s in Fort Wayne,” Nash later clarified.
