"One of my closest f****ng friends is Paul Levesque" - WWE Legend clarifies why he won't attend Sting's retirement match at AEW Revolution

WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash is clearing up any misunderstandings after his recent comments on Sting's retirement in AEW.

The wrestler formerly known as Diesel recently made comments about being a "WWE guy." He was then labeled as being on their payroll after announcing that he would not be attending Sting's upcoming retirement at the AEW Revolution pay-per-view.

Nash discussed the social media controversy on his Kliq This podcast and clarified his stance on WWE and AEW:

"I never said that [that I was on the WWE payroll]. What I said is I’m a WWE guy. I can’t have a picture of me in the crowd and underneath it says, ‘Is All Elite.’ I just can’t have that. It just doesn’t work. One of my closest f****ng friends is Paul Levesque. As much as I love Steve and I know he will only have one last match, I will watch it. We will talk about it. I haven’t been to a WrestleMania, a RAW, a SmackDown, or any of the other pay-per-views. I haven’t been to any events. I don’t want to go to any place and be around a bunch of people, let alone wrestling people. I just don’t want to do it. I’m a hermit and that’s it," he said. [H/T to WrestlingNews]

Sting and Darby Allin are set to defend the World Tag Team Championship against The Young Bucks at Revolution. The match will be held under Texas Tornado rules. Ric Flair will be in Sting's corner for what will be his final match.
