-- Reigning WWE United States champion LA Knight and WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash got into a bit of a war of words last year when Nash took shots at Knight on his podcast, calling him a ripoff of The Rock. Soon after that, Knight retaliated by poking fun at an infamous promo Nash did from his time in WCW when he seemingly got verbs and adjectives confused. Nash then went back on his podcast the week saying that he is a two-time Hall of Famer while suggesting that Knight is a relative unknown.
-- The two never met face to face after those incidents until SummerSlam this year when Nash detailed a brief encounter between the two before the event at catering. According to Nash, the two had a quick chat, were cordial to each other and Nash said that Knight "seemed like a nice guy" and that there was no heat between the two of them. Speaking to The Daily Mail, Knight's story aligned with Nash's:
"It’s funny because he came up while I was sitting in catering, talking to a couple of guys, and he came up, and I felt this hand on my back, and he said hello and we talked for a minute."
"He was asking about the match, and everything was cool and hunky dory. I am a mirror in a lot of ways – I give back whatever I receive. We could talk trash, and whatever he says on the podcast or what I say here and there, it could go either way. If he had come in talking, you know, craziness or whatever, I’d have probably responded in that regard. But he was a sweetheart, and I was a sweetheart right back."
