Playing up Kevin Nash’s surprise return at WWE Summerslam, WWE.com has a feature that questions which on-air character was responsible for inviting the former nWo member to the party.
WWE teases Alberto Del Rio, Triple H and Stephanie McMahon as the strongest possibilities. In the case of Del Rio, it notes that Nash could have viewed money as a motivation to help the Money in the Bank holder cash in his briefcase. Of course, it also paints the scenario as somewhat unlikely–“After a 20-year legendary career of his own, Nash probably doesn’t need the cash.”
For Triple H, it explains that WWE’s COO might have held some anger towards Punk for his disparaging remarks towards the McMahon-Helmsley clan.
“Even though the look of shock and disbelief on his face would indicate Triple H had no knowledge of either Kevin Nash’s or Alberto Del Rio’s actions, The Game’s Hall of Fame career proves he can be dangerously duplicitous,” reads the story.
And, in the case of Stephanie, it also highlights CM Punk’s insults as a motivation, before noting, “Was [a plan to cost Punk the title] what Stephanie and her husband were speaking about moments before the main event? Is this the rebirth of the McMahon-Helmsley Era in the very same city where their marriage was shockingly revealed?”
WWE is expected to follow the storyline up on Monday’s RAW.
