WWE Hall Of Famer Reveals Royalty Payments Have Gotten “Weird” Since UFC Merger

WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash spoke on the subject of WWE royal payments on his podcast this week, revealing that they got “weird” after Endeavor bought out WWE and merged it with UFC to form a new parent company, TKO.

Speaking on Kliq This, Nash indicated that his last royalty payment was much lower than expected and ended up calling his friend and fellow Hall of Famer Sean “X-Pac” Waltman to discuss it, nothing that not only was the amount less than expected, but that there wasn’t as much transparency on the breakdown of what made up the payment.

“We both got our royalty checks and I called him and he’s laughing on the other side of the phone and says, ‘Obviously, you got your royalty check.’ I said, ‘Holy f–k. The last one was good, this one was rotten.’ I mean, it was half.”

“When I was making huge money in my royalties, it was broken down. It would say NWO t-shirts, NWO women’s t-shirts. Now it says NWO intellectual property and there’s just a number. It got weird when they sold. It started when they sold.”

“I can only go by what I was making, I can only imagine what like Hulk, Austin, Rock. If you take all those guys – I think Steve was at 50 percent of his merch. Some of mine was at 25 – When you take that and you cut that in half and put that back on the books, that’s several million dollars.”

Despite the issue, Nash suggested that he wouldn’t be making a fuss about it since his other good friend, Paul “HHH” Levesque is an executive with WWE.

“My thing with it is, I would never do anything to put any bad light on Paul. As long as Paul’s in charge, I just roll with everything.”
