Kevin Nash Blocked From Being Involved With Sting's Retirement Match

Sting wanted Kevin Nash to be at AEW Revolution for his last ever bout.

Kevin Nash has revealed that Sting asked him to be at his last ever match. The Icon is set to retire at the upcoming AEW Revolution show on March 3 in Greensboro, North Carolina. Unfortunately, Nash won't be involved, and claims his involvement with WWE has made it impossible. (He is currently on a legends contract with the company.) Speaking on a recent episode of his own Kliq This podcast, Nash explained:

"He asked me to be a part of it, I just said that, you know, with my positioning with WWE I couldn't. If I went in the crowd, it would be...you know? [...] I think he wanted me to be there because I was just one of the guys who has been there with him the whole run. Yeah, I think he was disappointed. I mean, I was disappointed.

"I asked [WWE.] You know when you ask and there's that three-second pause? It's like when you be on the road and you're like, 'Hey babe? We're at Fort Wayne, I'm gonna go to Stewie's Strip Joint, you got a problem with that?' Nothing."

Sting's last match will also see him defend the recently-won AEW World Tag Team Championships. He and fellow champion Darby Allin will take on The Young Bucks, who were reportedly handpicked by Sting to be his last opponents.
