Backstage News On Kevin Nash’s WWE Future, The Rock Apologizes

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson apologized to fans for the conclusions produced by his return promo last February. During the promo, The Rock famously suggested that he was never leaving, a promise that turned out to be false given the fact that he is only working with WWE on a sporadic basis.

“I never meant to mislead or confuse the fans and I apologize if I did,” Tweeted The Rock. “The overall goal was to make huge impact and elevate Wrestlemania. Shoot my movie commitments, then return again as soon as I wrap the film and help elevate the WWE and the overall business of professional wrestling. Survivor Series, Mania etc.”

— PWInsider.com reports that Kevin Nash’s current TV run with WWE is viewed as a short-term deal. While he is indeed signed to a special WWE Legends deal and will be in a working relationship with WWE going forward, he is not internally viewed as a permanent addition to the RAW roster. He nonetheless is expected to make regular appearances for the duration of his angle with Triple H and CM Punk.

In other Nash-related news, F4WOnline.com reports that the wrestler received Triple H’s approval to not have to deal with a script for his promos on RAW. The most he will receive ahead of time is a bullet-point outline.
