WWE’s connection with former U.S. President Donald Trump has always sparked mixed reactions among fans, but it never caused a split between WWE and its wrestlers. This changed when WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley decided to distance himself from WWE following Trump’s remarks about Rob Reiner’s death, leading some to wonder if others would follow suit.
However, another WWE Hall of Famer, Kevin Nash, has no plans to sever ties with the company. Nash, who often criticizes Trump, expressed understanding of Foley’s stance but highlighted his close personal bonds with WWE figures like Paul Levesque and Linda McMahon as reasons to stay connected. He described them as family, acknowledging even political differences don’t change that bond.
Nash also noted that WWE’s association with Trump hasn’t heavily influenced the content to affect how he watches wrestling, and he questioned the logic of leaving WWE over politics, particularly since it would mean losing income.
Fan Take: For WWE fans, Nash’s stance emphasizes the importance of personal relationships over political differences within the wrestling world. This news highlights how wrestling transcends politics, maintaining its core focus on entertainment and the lifelong bonds formed behind the scenes.
