Two-time WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash was confident that he was being ‘ribbed’ when he learned of plans for a match with Triple H in 2011.
At that year’s SummerSlam pay-per-view event, Nash attacked then-WWE Champion CM Punk, and would later claim that Triple H had asked him to attack the ‘Best in the World.’
Triple H denied this, setting up a match at that year’s WWE: TLC pay-per-view event in which Nash and the Game climbed a ladder to try and obtain a sledgehammer.
On a recent edition of his “Kliq This” podcast, Nash recalled being approached about the match, which he thought was someone’s idea of a joke. He said,
“I thought it was a rib on me. I don’t know if it was a rib on [Triple H] but it was definitely a rib on me.
“I had long hair in that match. I went home, I woke up, and after I shook off my concussion in a couple of days, I had my wife cut my hair off. That was it.”
Triple H defeated Nash after using his signature sledgehammer. This would be Nash’s last singles match in WWE, with his final match being the 2014 Royal Rumble match.
