Kevin Nash attended the 2026 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony to induct Dennis Rodman into the celebrity wing, appearing on stage alongside Sean Waltman as the two honored their longtime friend and fellow nWo member. But on his Kliq This podcast, Nash also shared a blunt account of his experience during rehearsal earlier in the day.
According to Nash, talent were instructed to arrive at 3 p.m. and remained on-site until midnight — with virtually no food provided. He said the lack of accommodations was noticeable and frustrating.
“I have to put over this, which is another thing,” Nash said. “Be there at three o’clock, leave at midnight, absolutely not a stitch of fucking food for the talent available. No protein. Some bags of chips, a couple of fucking bananas and a tangerine.”
Nash added that he approached WWE’s head of talent relations to ask about food, but the interaction left him feeling dismissed. “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.’”
Despite the backstage frustrations, Nash’s appearance on stage with Waltman and Rodman marked a reunion of three core nWo members, celebrating Rodman’s induction into the celebrity wing.
The night also featured a moment that caught fans’ attention: Nash and CM Punk were seen embracing after the ceremony, suggesting the two may have put past issues behind them. Footage of the interaction circulated online shortly after the event, with fans noting the significance of the gesture given their previously strained relationship.
Nash’s comments add another layer to the behind‑the‑scenes picture of Hall of Fame weekend, while his on‑stage role highlighted the enduring legacy of the nWo and its crossover impact on wrestling and pop culture.
