TNA Wrestling: Kevin Nash, part 4

Kevin Nash then engaged in a small program with TNA Heavyweight Wrestling Champion Kurt Angle, which eventually resulted in Nash aiding Angle. Kevin warned the Angles about how dangerous Sting can be based on Nash's experience feuding with Sting in WCW and claimed that "the man's a demon".

At Bound for Glory, Nash interfered on Kurt Angle's behalf during his World Title defense against Sting. However, it was pointless, as Sting captured the title from Angle via Scorpion Death Drop after fending off Nash and Angle's wife, Karen. The following Thursday on Impact!, Nash and Angle had an altercation because Angle blamed Nash for him losing the World Wrestling Title. Angle would eventually attack Nash but Nash would have the last laugh, jackknife powerbombing Angle in the middle of the ring.

The following week, Sting would defend the TNA World Wrestling Title against Angle in a rematch from Bound For Glory, and Nash would have a ringside seat. Near the conclusion, Angle pushed Sting into Nash, and Sting punched Nash after landing in his lap. Nash would eventually recover, and jump onto the apron, only to be met by Sting. The referee attempted to break up the fight, but Angle caused the ref to be knocked out, and at the same time, was able to hit the Olympic Slam to gain the victory, and the World Title. Following the match, Nash offered a hand shake to Angle only to be "flipped off" by the new champ. An enraged Nash demanded a match with Angle, but TNA Management's public face, Jim Cornette, instead booked Nash into a tag team match as Angle's partner against Sting and a partner of his choosing, with the stipulation being that the person that gains the pinfall or submission would be crowned the new TNA World Heavyweight Champion. After a red herring that Scott Hall was the mystery partner, it was revealed to be Booker T.

At Final Resolution Nash and his partner Samoa Joe lost in a title match to TNA World Tag Team Champions Tomko and A.J. Styles after Nash abandoned and seemingly betrayed Joe. But the following Impact, when Joe stormed into Nash's locker room looking for a fight, Nash was actually able to persuade Joe into accepting his mentorship.
Kevin Nash lost to Kurt Angle in a one on one match on TNA Impact! on the 28th February. Nash currently sides with Joe and accompanies him to the ring as a manager and occasionally as a tag team partner, offering his experience and opinions to the Heavyweight Champion.
