Kevin Nash Doesn’t Think The Rock Cares About Any Backlash Over Praising AEW’s PAC Tribute

On the latest episode of Kliq This, a listener asked Nash about reports that some within WWE were bothered by The Rock praising Tony Khan and AEW for their tribute to PAC. Nash said he isn’t in the loop, but pointed to The Rock’s earnings and said his success comes from the brand he has built. You can check out his comments below:

On Whether Anyone In WWE Is Upset About Rock Praising AEW:

“I’m not in the loop. But when I think of Dwayne — they had a thing the other day on Instagram. It was one of those deals with the highest-paid athletes, and they went across, and this guy had 500 million, this guy had 250 million, and then all of a sudden it just went way up to $800 million, and it was Dwayne. Then the next person up was LeBron at like 1.25, then Vince at 3.4, and then finally the last one was Jordan at 4.2 billion. But at $800 million, I don’t think Rock gives a f**k who’s anything. I don’t know.”

On The Rock’s Success:

“I’ve always, in my mind, just thought, ‘Wow, what an incredible run he had.’ But when you look at it like that, when you’re the guy before LeBron as far as athletes that made coin, it’s just like, man, Kobe’s behind him. Curry. Those names.

“It was because of who he was. It was marketability. It was also his persona, and it was an image. It was a brand. It’s no different than Air Jordan. Jordan’s still making [money off] that Jumpman sign.”
