In a recent podcast interview on "Kliq This," WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash expressed his confidence that WWE, despite the allegations surrounding sex trafficking involving WWE, Vince McMahon, and John Laurinaitis, will be able to weather the storm. Nash believes that the company's immense size and recent Netflix deal will help protect its reputation and ensure its continued success.

Addressing the allegations, Nash acknowledged that while certain individuals, including Vince McMahon and John Laurinaitis, have distanced themselves from the company, he remains optimistic about WWE's resilience. "I'm not gonna throw the baby away with the bathwater. Vince has said he's done... that's been alleviated," Nash stated. He also pointed out that Johnny is no longer associated with WWE, and several others implicated in the allegations have been disassociated with the company.

Nash then alluded to past controversies within the wrestling industry, such as the infamous Mel Phillips scandal involving WWE ring boys. According to Nash, such controversies have become somewhat commonplace over the years, and yet the wrestling business, including WWE, has consistently managed to navigate through troubled waters.

However, it is worth noting that while Vince McMahon's resignation has already been confirmed, Nash's assumption regarding John Laurinaitis's departure from WWE may not be as straightforward. Laurinaitis's attorney, in addition to supporting Janel Grant's initial accusations against WWE, also claimed that Laurinaitis himself is a victim of McMahon's manipulations. The lawsuit also mentions unnamed corporate officers who have yet to be revealed, indicating that there may still be further developments in the case.

Despite the ongoing allegations and legal proceedings, Nash believes that WWE's position as a "juggernaut" in the industry, coupled with its recent monumental Netflix deal, will help the company overcome these challenges. He expressed his confidence that Netflix, being a major partner, will not withdraw its support from WWE due to the allegations, highlighting the enduring strength of the brand.

As the allegations surrounding WWE, Vince McMahon, and John Laurinaitis continue to unfold, it remains to be seen how the company will address and navigate through these troubled times.
