Kevin Nash isn’t hiding how he really feels about WWE’s direction with the Kabuki Warriors—and he’s not on board with the push they’re getting.
During the latest episode of Kliq This, Nash and Sean Oliver took a hard look at the current state of WWE’s women’s division. The conversation started with Becky Lynch’s heel turn, which Sean labeled a misfire. But Nash quickly shifted the focus.
“I just not feeling the f**king Kabuki Warriors.”
Sean acknowledged that WWE has made the Kabuki Warriors a focal point of the women’s division this year.
“Yeah, there’s… that was a very big decision, very big push this year for those ladies in the women’s division.”
Nash wasn’t convinced the team’s rise is organic. Instead, he believes it’s driven by international market strategy—specifically Japan.
“They must do some f**king… I mean, I don’t know. I’m not privy to their numbers, but they must do some… some numbers in Japan where they’ve got to have some…”
Nash compared the move to WWE’s 2017 push of Jinder Mahal during their India expansion, prompting Nash to co-sign the logic.
“I mean when India became an emerging marketplace for the WWE… that’s when Jinder… he was a champion for quite a while. Then they brought him back for a minute. He kinda got over and they just f**king canned him.”
The Kabuki Warriors backed up their push on the November 10 episode of WWE Raw, capturing the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship by defeating Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss. The title win didn’t end peacefully, though—Nia Jax and Lash Legend crashed the party, leading to a chaotic brawl that brought Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY into the mix. Meanwhile, Becky Lynch is set to defend her Women’s Intercontinental Title against Maxxine Dupri on the November 17 episode.
Whether or not you agree with Nash, his comments shed light on how WWE might be weighing business interests alongside storytelling. The Kabuki Warriors may be champions, but Nash thinks their momentum is more about demographics than dominance.
