Kevin Nash sounded jealous of Logan Paul's success, says ex-WWE star
Logan Paul's WWE run is one of the most successful celebrity runs in the company's history. Recently, the star was in a war of words with Kevin Nash and many veterans and legends, including Dutch Mantell have reacted to the controversy.
Earlier this month, Logan Paul responded to Kevin Nash's criticism of him on Instagram / X. The rising star fired back at the WWE Hall of Famer for not knowing wrestling jargon. Many veterans and legends have now reacted to the controversy and given their take on which star was wrong in the ongoing situation.
Speaking on Story Time with Dutch Mantell, the veteran gave his thoughts on the matter and stated Nash might be jealous of Logan Paul's fame and success. Moreover, he thinks the WWE Hall of Famer shouldn't have called out the former United States Champion over such a trivial thing.
"I think Kevin Nash picked the wrong battle to enter into here with Logan Paul. Because Logan Paul is so well-known across social media Kevin Nash or me could ever hope to be. And just because he doesn't know a term and even if he did know the term, Kevin, it sounded to me like he's jealous that he's making so much money and not making it to any live events other than PLE's and TVs," Mantell said.

He added:
"I wish Kevin [Nash] really hadn't said that 'cause it does make him look jealous and envious and I think it paints him in a bad light," Mantell said. (From 1:29:34 to 1:29:45)

Logan Paul hasn't competed for WWE since SummerSlam 2024
Earlier this year, Logan Paul entered the year as the United States Champion, the title he won in Saudi Arabia from Rey Mysterio. After two title defenses, The Maverick went after the Undisputed WWE Champion and lost.
He then got into a heated rivalry with LA Knight on Friday Night SmackDown and was pinned by The Megastar, who was looking to get an opportunity at the star's title. The Megastar finally got his hands on Paul at The Biggest Party of The Summer in Ohio and won the title.
The Maverick hasn't competed for the company since his title loss. It'll be interesting to see when the star appears on the weekly product.
