The tension between LA Knight and the WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash is far from over. Last July, Nash criticized Knight’s gimmick and stated that Knight is “an absolute rip off of The Rock.” However, Nash later apologized to Knight.
Two weeks ago, The Megastar took a shot at Kevin Nash on SmackDown. LA Knight dragged Nash’s debut promo in WCW and said Nash is a moron.
“If I was a complete moron, I’d say ‘look at the adjective – play,’ but I’m not, so I’ll say look at the verb!”

On the “Kliq This” podcast, the WWE Hall of Famer responded to LA Knight. Nash reminded everyone that Knight was unable to get over in the past 29 years.
It’s worth noting that Knight began pro wrestling training in 2003.
“I had read different things where he took a shot at me and I said, ‘How’s that really taking a shot at me?’ I said, ‘So what you’re basically saying is this is a guy that basically is a bottom feeder. I mean, the guy, it took him 29 years to get over so he’s gonna make mistakes along the way because he wasn’t like he had any kind of clear-cut pattern or plans to make it besides he figured he just, The Rock and Steve have been gone long enough that he would just do their sh-t.”

Recently, Fightful Select reported that LA Knight and WWE are still unable to reach a new long-term deal. They stated that “two sides were far apart on money.” Knight’s current deal ends in early 2025.
Kevin Nash has asked Triple H about LA Knight’s contract negotiations. The WWE Chief Content Officer said the following to Nash.
“I hear, I see where he’s up for a new contract. So I called Triple H. I said, ‘What’s the deal with this? You know, because early it said that, you know, negotiations are going great and all of a sudden it seemed like there was a hitch. Paul told me, he goes, ‘I didn’t understand why this kid and I use that term lightly.’ I said, ‘What do you mean? He goes, ‘Kid. The guy is my age.’ I said, ‘I don’t think he’s quite your age.’ ‘ He’s pretty damn close.’ ‘I said, are you more worried about the fact his fan appeal will recede as fast as his hairline is? Is that something you’re worried about?’ It’s bad enough like I said, unless you’re just a knob gobbler, there’s no way you would pick those sunglasses as a pair of sunglasses that you would wear. Paul said, ‘We’re so far apart because the only way I’ll sign this guy is on a nostalgia act.’ I said, ‘You mean like me, like, be on the legends.’ He goes, ‘Yeah, well he’s doing their sh-t. I can’t give him the same pay as guys that are going out there and doing original sh-t.”
