• Kevin Nash Reacts to WrestleMania 42 Poster Controversy
On his Kliq This podcast, a listener asked Kevin Nash about the newly revealed WrestleMania 42 poster that features no women – and also leaves out Randy Orton, who currently is WWE’s longest full-time roster member.
The fan comment read: “No women on the Mania poster and where the f**k is Randy Orton? Who did he pi$$ off?”
Nash acknowledged the omission: “I guess there’s only four places at the table.”
He didn’t speculate further but clearly found the absence noticeable – especially given Orton’s current popularity and the strong push of WWE’s women’s division.
The discussion reflects widespread fan criticism that high-profile women and marquee stars should be visible in early WrestleMania marketing.
Nash then shifted to the subject of Brock Lesnar’s WWE status (as he is on the WrestleMania 42 poster), saying he’s seen online reports suggesting Brock’s return may not happen for a long time.
“I heard on the internet that they weren’t bringing Brock back for quite some time.”
He then questioned the way Lesnar was last used – specifically squashing John Cena during Cena’s farewell run, only for WWE to follow it with complete silence:
“To squash Cena on his farewell tour… and then just kinda have that be a squash and then done… I don’t know.”
Nash’s tone suggested uncertainty about whether WWE has long-term creative plans for Brock – or if the company may be holding off due to ongoing legal, PR, or contractual complications.
Big Daddy Cool implied that Lesnar’s absence may not be short-term.
• Solo Sikoa Will Turn Babyface Because His Personality Is Winning Fans Over, Says WWE Hall Of Famer
On his Off The Top podcast, Rikishi spoke passionately about the growing fan support for his son, Solo Sikoa, revealing why he believes a future babyface turn is inevitable. According to Rikishi, the real Solo – the one viewers see in viral backstage clips – is charming, funny, caring, and incredibly likable. And that version is slowly breaking through the character’s heel exterior.
Rikishi began by acknowledging that the viral videos of Solo goofing around backstage aren’t gimmick work at all. “The videos the world sees – that’s really Solo,” he said. “It’s so nice to see him just cut loose and be himself. He’s really that kid – down to earth, funny.” He recalled the video where Solo helped a woman load her luggage onto an airplane overhead bin. “Behind the scenes of that vicious, evil leader, that’s the real him,” Rikishi said proudly.
Rikishi was then asked whether Solo should remain the leader of My Family Tree or eventually break out on his own as a babyface. Rikishi said Solo’s natural charisma and likability make a turn unavoidable. “I do see that happening,” he said. “Because that real personality is starting to show through.”
He even laid out a storyline idea for how the babyface turn could unfold – one involving betrayal, reinforcements, and an eventual reunion with Roman Reigns and The OG Bloodline. “If somebody big were to come through,” Rikishi said, “and you’ve got personal vibes between Solo and The Tribal Chief, and these two guys come in with personal drama against Roman, I can see it.”
He continued painting the scenario: “During the time when it comes – boom – MFTs turn on Solo. Solo gets up… boom, boom. Out of nowhere here comes Roman. Here comes The Bloodline. Here comes The OG Bloodline.”
Rikishi thinks Solo’s emotional downfall and redemption could create a monumental babyface arc. He even teased the final missing piece, saying, “There’ll probably just be one more piece missing for The Bloodline, and I’ll leave that up to y’all.”
Rikishi said Solo’s real personality is winning people over. “Funny means money,” he said. “And Solo is funny. That’s really him.”
He made it clear the fans aren’t cheering for the character – they’re cheering for the person behind it.
