Kevin Nash says WWE royalty payments “got weird” after the company’s merger with UFC to create TKO Group Holdings.
On an episode of his Kliq This podcast, Nash revealed that he recently received a royalty payment from WWE that was for much lower than he expected. He said he called Sean Waltman to discuss.
Nash said:
“(Sean Waltman and I) both got our royalty checks and I called him and heâ€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.“
He continued to say that after TKO took over the process, the royalty payments were not as detailed as they had been previously.
“When I was making huge money in my royalties, it was broken down. It would say NWO t-shirts, NWO womenâ€s t-shirts. Now it says NWO intellectual property and thereâ€s just a number.”
“It got weird when they sold. It started when they sold,” he continued.
“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, thatâ€s several million dollars.”
However, Nash concluded that so long as his longtime friend Triple H is in charge of WWE, he will just roll with whatever happens.
“My thing with it is, I would never do anything to put any bad light on Paul,” he continued. “As long as Paulâ€s in charge, I just roll with everything.”
