Kevin Nash comments on CM Punk being fired from AEW.
CM Punk was officially terminated, with cause, by AEW on September 2, ending his tenrue with the company after two years, part of which Punk missed due to injuries and suspension.
During Punk's suspension from AEW All Out 2022 to his return in June 2023, he was reportedly open to the idea of returning to WWE with a rumored idea being Punk taking part in the 2023 Royal Rumble. With Punk departing AEW, many have speculated about a possible WWE return for Punk.
Speaking on his Kliq This podcast, Kevin Nash was asked about Punk potentially making an appearance in the Royal Rumble.
"Please do motherfucker because I'll ask Paul [Triple H] to put me in that bitch. I'll be on the horn tomorrow to see if we can make that happen. Sucker punch me, skinny fat boy. Short order fucking...I apologize to Waffle House at this point in my career for actually calling him a short order Waffle House cook. My bad. Fuck you, Phil. I always like my wrestlers to have birthing hips," said Nash.
He continued, "Selling that company for $9 billion, what you need on a ship that's sailing on crystal clear water is some fucking asshole to stir shit. Go back and watch the promo Triple H cuts on him sitting in the chair. It's fucking gold. Punk, what's that thing he would give everybody, a pipe job [pipe bomb]? He wanted to give Paul a pipe job, 'Hey, I'll give you a pipe job' or whatever his gimmick was, 'I have a Pepsi tattoo,' Paul said, 'Go fuck yourself' and beat him. After Taker [Undertaker] beat him. Everybody beats the fucking guy. Thank God he has the Duffy Wrestling League on Heels. I saw him on the last episode, he didn't have any dialogue. He looked interested in what was going down because there is a LA based entity doing streaming thinking of buying into the DWL. If you're not watching Heels, you're not getting a chance to get your CM Punk fill. See what I did there?"

Nash and co-host Sean Oliver joked that he had no heat with Punk, but after seeing the ratings for the last episode, he was going to milk things.
When asked if WWE should consider bringing him back, Nash replied, "He's already put himself on the mantle next to Ultimate Warrior. Go shake the ropes, buddy. You're sucker punching Luke Perry's son [Jack Perry]. You're lucky old man Spelling [Aaron Spelling] isn't around, he'd have you murdered. What's the upside? It ain't my company. He obviously doesn't need the money."
Nash joked that Punk could work with Becky Lynch if he returned.
Punk has yet to comment on his AEW departure, and his future in wrestling is unknown.
