Kevin Nash is putting the blame on WWE’s hotel setup in Las Vegas after fallout from the CM Punk WrestleMania 42 incident continued to spread online.
After the 9-1-1 call connected to the MGM Grand confrontation surfaced, Nash took to Twitter and made it clear he believes WWE needs to rethink how it houses talent during major events. Instead of focusing only on Punk, Nash pointed directly at the risks that come with placing wrestlers in large casino hotels filled with fans. Nash didn’t soften his stance and said WWE should either stop using Las Vegas properties or move talent into locations that can actually be secured.
“WWE needs to stay out of Vegas or move talent to a smaller hotel that can be secured. This happened to alot of the talent in Vegas. These guys just want a minute to chill. Getting across a casino floor is nearly impossible.”
His reaction came as more details continued to circulate about why CM Punk wasn’t arrested following the confrontation during WrestleMania week.
As previously reported through Ringside News via Billi Bhatti, police reviewed CCTV footage from both encounters inside the MGM Grand lobby before making their decision. According to those findings, the first interaction played a major role in how authorities handled the situation.
“The manager clearly said that based on what the police watched on CCTV in both incidents, they made it clear to the hotel manager that we cannot arrest CM Punk for incident number one, but we can take action for incident number two, which would be the phone, which would be the slap across the hand.”
Police determined that the first contact happened when a fan approached Punk after he had already walked past and tapped him on the shoulder. That detail became a key factor in how officers evaluated the sequence of events before the later moment that involved Punk knocking a phone out of a fan’s hand.
Nash’s comments shift attention toward the bigger picture — the environment WWE talent face during WrestleMania week, especially in Las Vegas where crowded casino floors make privacy nearly impossible.
Do you think Kevin Nash is right that WWE should move talent to smaller secured hotels, or is staying in major casino hotels just part of running events in cities like Las Vegas? Leave your thoughts and feedback below.
