Kevin Nash weighed in on the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship situation coming out of WrestleMania 39 and why he would have Cody Rhodes turn heel when he does win the title. Roman Reigns defeated Rhodes in the main event of night two for the championship, and Nash talked about the situation on his Kliq This podcast. You can check out some highlights below, per Fightful:

On Reigns’ title reign: “My point on this show, maybe two or three weeks earlier, was I didn’t think Roman was going to go. When you have 950 days behind somebody, you’ve gotta get to 1,000. You have to. If you were in charge, if baseball was a work, you would definitely make sure somebody surpasses Bonds’ 73 home runs. You’d book that”.

On what questions creative has to ask in terms of who beats Reigns: “It was like when Orndorff was with Hogan. You could see that there was friction, and you knew that Orndorff was gonna turn on Hogan. It was just a matter of when. I think that’s what they’re gonna do with Cody. The money is always gonna be with the babyface chasing the belt.”

On if he would turn Rhodes heel after he wins the title: “Yes. I don’t mean this as any slight to anybody, but I look at people’s pops, and people’s pops during the start of my career to this past Sunday. You could take everybody, you could take Hogan, Rock, Shawn, Taker, Bret, Roman, Cody, put them all in a basket, and put them in the ring, and then have Austin’s f**king glass break, and when shit was in his wheelhouse, and there was nothing as electric and as that f**king [pop] because he was the real deal. He was every man’s champion. That was my boy, man. That was my friend. I would watch that, I’d be so f**king proud, like f**k yeah.”
