Kevin Nash Comments On CM Punk Showing Up Backstage At Last Week's WWE Raw

CM Punk may have shown up backstage at "WWE Raw" a week ago, and then at Impact Wrestling tapings this past Saturday, but that doesn't mean those in wrestling are done talking about it. And that includes a man Punk once feuded with on "Raw," Kevin Nash.

In the latest episode of "Kliq This," Nash commented on Punk showing up backstage, revealing that he himself would only show up backstage for a wrestling show if he asked a higher-up first. Nash then focused on why Punk showing up was different compared to someone else being backstage.

"I think that somebody that's had that much controversy, I think it's completely different with Phil showing up than it is just somebody that doesn't [cause controversy]," Nash said. "One of the things they say is you can't talk to, you're not supposed to talk to the other company's talents. I had heard that he was going back to AEW, they were going to do a brand split, and he would be like the lead dog on the Saturday show."

Nash is close with WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H, which may give him insight into any interest WWE would have in Punk returning to the promotion. However, when asked about that, Nash was unsure how that would be received.

"I don't know," Nash said. "I don't know."

While Nash was complimentary of Punk's AEW tenure, he also seemed to express skepticism about Punk's health.

"He's always complaining about how beat up he is," Nash said. "I don't know...Do you take time from him to give it to him? What's his pitch count, 11? I'm just saying, if he's going to give you a month before he [gets hurt], then it's not even worth someone putting the graphics together."
