Is Kevin Nash Really Fired From WWE?

Kevin Nash

The announcement that WWE has released Kevin Nash has been confirmed as part of the storyline. Nash was signed to a Legends deal after the Royal Rumble earlier this year and has not been signed to a new performer's contract since returning to TV.

Nash has been reaching out to some people and saying that he's released, but most don't believe him. He's basically trying to 'work' people in the wrestling business.

Kevin Nash tweeted the following:

"To set the record straight, I passed physical w/ flying colors. Cardiologist was amazed at my lipid profile. Couldn't reach financial terms.

"I will not be addressing this matter again. I am moving forward with my life. Cena, it was great having the chance to get to know you."

As noted earlier, this has been confirmed as part of the storyline. Look for him to return at the WWE Night of Champions pay-per-view. Nash is telling people he's been released to sell the angle.

Kevin Nash's "release" that was announced earlier today is all part of what's happening on TV. The release was announced to play off the major deal that John Laurinaitis signed Nash to on RAW.

Nash's New Look

The reason for Nash's exit from the WWE storylines is because Nash has booked a movie role, likely the same one that he is dieting for. Word is that the people behind the movie didn't want to insure Nash for filming while he was working as a pro wrestler. Nash will likely stay gone until he is done filming the movie. No word yet if this will affect any of his independent dates.

Kevin Nash stated on his Twitter account that he is on a no carbohydrate diet for a movie he is set to appear in this month. 

Jimmy Hart, Kevin Nash and former WWE star Kurrgan are all on the cast of the horror film Monster Brawl!. The story is as described as follows: "Set in the tradition of a Pay-Per-View main event, comes a grotesque and hilarious fight to the death featuring a cast of eight classic combatants in all. Along with their colorful managers, these Monsters compete in visceral bloody combat in the ring to determine the most powerful monster of all time."
