Kevin Nash believes The Rock can be inserted into WWE at anytime.
Rock made a ton of headlines in 2024 when he suddenly returned to WWE during WrestleMania season and seemingly set up a match with Roman Reigns. After some pushback from the fans, things ended up changing and Rock ended up teaming with Reigns at the event to face the duo of Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins.
Many fans were expecting Rock to compete again at WrestleMania 41, but nothing of note was set up during his appearance on the January 6 edition of Raw. On the other hand, Kevin Nash believes that WWE could still find a way to use Rock at the event.
“It’s a long way to WrestleMania." Nash said on a recent edition of his Kliq This podcast. "I’m just gonna throw some ideas out there. Maybe take somebody with the largest Q rating in our company, and maybe after you see Triple H, the boss, the next person you see is the guy that’s worth $800 million and has been on everything for the last 20 years that’s not wrestling. So you have that guy come out, and you make the correlation of, ‘Oh,’ and he’s got a belt, even though it’s the Ali belt. So if you don’t know shit, he’s as big as a house, he’s got a belt, and he’s talking wrestling in a wrestling ring. Why wouldn’t you use him?"
Then, Nash continued on and said that WWE can take Rock and put him in wherever they want to.
"For me watching it, I took it as, he came out. You can say he said, ‘I’m not involved, I’m involved.’ Whatever. I don’t know what his shoot schedule is, I don’t know what his next projects are. So there’s no reason to [set something up] if for the next 90 days, he’s gonna be working on set someplace. But I do know that the next guy, who I really can’t see but I can see, who’s doing a farewell tour, and is gonna be really active, and he needs to tel' me that the only way that he can possibly end up at WrestleMania is to, I don’t know, maybe win the Royal Rumble. Well, you sure as fuck don’t want Dwayne convoluting that with any thought pattern. So now you want your next guy, Cena, to open that up and say, ‘I’m gonna win the Royal Rumble.’ Everybody knows the road to WrestleMania starts at Royal Rumble. So why wouldn’t you have two stories right there when you want that story to go forward? You can take that big motherfucker Dwayne and put him in wherever the fuck you want to."
Elsewhere in the interview, Nash joked that Netflix didn't want Logan Paul on the Raw On Netflix premiere because of the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight. Learn more about his comments by clicking here.
