WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash open to return to the company after four years

Former WWE Champion Kevin Nash recently spoke about a potential return to the Stamford-based promotion.

Nash last appeared on WWE TV in 2020 when he was inducted into the Hall of Fame class of 2020 as part of the New World Order (nWo). The veteran has won several titles in his career, including the WWE Championship once and the WCW World Heavyweight Championship five times.

Speaking on his Kliq This podcast, Kevin Nash revealed that he would not reach out to the company unless they needed him to do something specific:

"They wouldn't call me unless they needed me. If they called me, it would be because they needed me and needed me to do something specific. They're not going to call me and have me bump at 64 years old....they're not going to call me. They're not in a position where they have to put anybody in danger. They're Georgia playing in the SEC this year." [H/T:Fightful]
