Kevin Nash will not be able to attend Sting’s retirement match at AEW Revolution. Sting, a legendary figure in the world of professional wrestling, is set to end his illustrious 40-year career on March 3, 2024. However, Nash recently revealed that he will not be present for this special event.
Sting had hoped that his close friend and on-screen rival, Nash, would be there to witness his final match. The two share a strong bond both inside and outside of the wrestling ring. In an interview with Sean Oliver on the Kliq This podcast, Nash expressed his desire to attend the event. Unfortunately, due to his current affiliation with WWE and the nature of their relationship with AEW, Nash will not be able to be present at Revolution.
During the match, Sting will defend the AEW Tag Team Championships alongside his partner against The Young Bucks. The animosity between the two teams intensified after the EVPs attacked Sting’s sons. While Nash won’t be able to attend, it is likely that Ric Flair, Sting’s longtime rival, will accompany him for his final bout.
Sting had personally asked Kevin Nash to be a part of his retirement match, but Nash explained that his involvement with WWE prevented him from doing so. He even sought permission from WWE, but his request was denied. This decision has disappointed fans who were hoping to see the reunion of these two wrestling icons.
Nash and Sting’s rivalry in the late 1990s and early 2000s, primarily within WCW, was highly regarded by fans. They later crossed paths again in TNA. Despite WWE’s decision, Nash and Triple H, also known as The Game, maintain a strong relationship both professionally and personally. Both men were founding members of The Kliq, a backstage group of friends in WWE during the 1990s, which also included other wrestlers. They have publicly acknowledged their enduring friendship in various interviews.
The Kliq’s infamous “Curtain Call” incident during a live event at Madison Square Garden is a significant moment in professional wrestling history. Despite the ups and downs in their respective careers, Nash and Triple H have remained friends to this day.
