Kevin Nash says things could have gone in a different direction.
In July 2022, Vince McMahon retired amid allegations of sexual misconduct, and Triple H took over as the head of creative. McMahon returned to WWE in January 2023, and he resigned in January 2024 following the filing of Janel Grant's lawsuit, which accused McMahon of sex trafficking, emotional abuse, and sexual assault. McMahon denied the allegations, but he remains under federal investigation.
Speaking on his Kliq This podcast, Kevin Nash commented on Triple H and brought up how he has changed the WWE product since he took over in 2022.
"My whole thing is, it’s just like, ‘Who’s the greatest of all time?’ Absolutely, there’s the 1A, 1B, whether you’re a Flair guy or you’re a Hogan guy, and then there’s the business aspect guy, and I say that the best run of anybody would be Triple H, from all standpoints of the business. There’s no comparison. I think one of the reasons that…because he’s so good at what he does on a daily [basis], as soon as he got his hands on the controls, shit changed, and the product, it just was night and day. Vince [McMahon] almost tried to kibosh it, and they went through all that shit again. I think at that point, if it wouldn’t have went the way it did, I think have walked. Steph [McMahon] already had. [Sean Oliver asked if he meant whether Vince McMahon stayed and took creative back.] Yeah. We never had the conversation, but I know Paul. I just did think that it was like, ‘Fuck, man.’ But I heard some other, I have talked to Paul about some other things, so I know some information and things that made me feel really good when I heard how they felt, Endeavor, how they felt about Paul," Nash said.
Nash and Triple H have been close friends for years, and Nash has previously spoken highly of the job that Triple H has done as the head of creative.
