On a recent edition of his “Kliq This” podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash recalled feuding with CM Punk in the summer of 2011.
While both men had an intense feud, Nash never got the opportunity to wrestle Punk.
Instead, Punk wrestled Paul “Triple H” and moved on while Nash and The Game continued to feud.
Nash said, “It’s funny now that Vince has taken a backseat to this whole thing, that I see Paul, he owns it now. Like, he has ownership of that company as far as, when they say he’s creative. His demeanor, he is in completely control of that situation. There has never been anybody of his talent in the ring…he was with us and we were all ruthless and we were all very driven for our success. It’s such a different Paul now. When I was supposed to wrestle Punk, he got under Triple H’s skin so bad. Paul just came up to me and said, ‘I’m going to beat him. You’re not going to wrestle him. I’m beating him.’ Cool. That’s why me and Punk never wrestled. He made the call, ‘I gotta beat this f**ker.’”
