Kevin Nash Says WWE Locker Room Wanted The nWo Killed Off After Hot 2002 Return

TLDR

Kevin Nash claims that the nWo's 2002 WWE return was successful with fans and merchandise sales, but faced opposition from the WWE locker room who wanted the group "killed off" due to jealousy over their immediate popularity. According to Nash, the original trio of himself, Scott Hall, and Hulk Hogan received a strong crowd reaction at No Way Out in Milwaukee and became the top-selling merchandise, which led to backstage resentment from WWE wrestlers who didn't want WCW's biggest act taking over again.
