Kevin Nash Tells TKO To ‘Get Your F*cking Noses Out’ Of WWE Creative

Kevin Nash isn’t a fan of TKO’s involvement in WWE creative.

Since WWE merged with UFC to form TKO Group Holdings on September 12, 2023 following Endeavor’s acquisition of WWE, TKO are reported to have become increasingly involved in a number of the company’s creative decisions, with the latest example being Pat McAfee’s poorly-received involvement in the feud between Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton over the Undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania 42.

During the latest episode of his Kliq This Podcast, Kevin Nash took aim at TKO over both their increasing creative involvement in WWE and their most recent round of talent releases.

“Like every other f*cking business on earth, the f*cking guys above that don’t have a f*cking clue, besides get paid more and higher up on the f*cking food chain, decide to start sticking their dicks where they don’t need to. ‘We’re gonna f*cking throw this guy in, let’s put this guy in, how about him in the main event? What do we throw this guy in? Why would we throw that guy in? Because we got a f*cking $500 billion deal that this guy’s f*cking walked into. While we’re at it, let’s make the f*cking arena look like a NASCAR.’ But it doesn’t take anything away from Paul Levesque because Paul Levesque still knows what the f*ck he’s doing. So if anybody out maybe thinks that this might be applying to them, how about leaving the f*cking company alone? Get your f*cking noses out of creative, go f*ck yourselves, let Paul run the f*cking company. You guys want to cut the talent. Don’t f*cking throw it in Paul’s lap. Don’t make him be the bad guy. Don’t tell me, ‘Give me six years of creative process and give it to me by Wednesday. If I don’t see a certain guy’s name on there, I’m gonna cut it by 50%.’ How about just go f*ck yourself? How about you grow a set of f*cking balls and you walk in and you tell them that because the UFC’s f*cking bleeding through every tourniquet that they have, we’re gonna cut people off of the f*cking WWE to stop the bleeding from the other company you bought. Because the UFC’s hemorrhaging f*cking money and f*cking WWE isn’t. How about we just tell the truth?”

TKO Group Holdings are under increasing scrutiny for their management of WWE following a number of talent releases on April 24, followed by reports of the company asking talent to restructure their deals with pay cuts, with the aim reportedly of maximising revenue due to Endeavor’s existing debt. You can read more about that here.

Regarding TKO’ reported increased involvement in WWE storytelling in the build-up to WrestleMania 42, the company are said to be pleased with the recent celebrity involvement and reportedly have no plans to slow down. You can read more about that here.

As always, we’ll aim to provide any further updates on TKO’s involvement with WWE creative as soon as we hear more.
