Kevin Nash has some complaints about how WWE treated its talent behind the scenes at the 2026 Hall of Fame ceremony.
Speaking on his Kliq This podcast, Nash recounted his experience at rehearsal and the all-day commitment required of the performers, taking particular aim at the lack of food available for talent throughout the lengthy event.
“I have to put over this, which is another thing. Be there at three o’clock, leave at midnight, absolutely not a stitch of food for the talent available. No protein. Some bags of chips, a couple of bananas and a tangerine. I asked the head of talent relations, I won’t say his name, I asked him, ‘Is there food?’ He didn’t come in and say hi to me until Stephanie was done. In other words, we probably will never have to use him again because he will never do anything again,” Nash said.
Nash inducted Dennis Rodman into the celebrity wing of the Hall of Fame alongside Sean Waltman. All three men were part of the nWo together during Rodman’s time in WCW, making Nash and Waltman natural choices to deliver the honor.
The ceremony also produced a notable backstage moment between Nash and CM Punk, as footage circulating after the show captured the two embracing following the event. The public reconciliation comes after a stretch of tension between the two that began when Nash criticized Punk’s ring attire and in-ring performance on his podcast earlier this year, prompting Punk to respond in later media appearances. The handshake and hug at the Hall of Fame appeared to put the matter to rest in person.
