WWE Superstars and wrestling community pay tribute to Kevin Nash's son

Kevin Nash, unfortunately, lost his only son, Tristen Nash, who passed away at the age of 26 on October 20, 2022.

The wrestling world was saddened to learn about Tristen Nash's untimely passing. Sean Ross Sapp made the announcement on behalf of Kevin Nash's family via Twitter.

Unlike his father, Tristen wasn't a professional wrestler. Instead, he was a musician and a poet. The reason behind his passing is currently unknown.

Tristen's death also coincided with Scott Hall's birthday, seemingly making the day even more difficult for Nash. The former Intercontinental Champion passed away earlier this year due to multiple health issues.

Since the news broke, fans, fellow wrestlers, and other wrestling personalities have sent their condolences to the Nash family via social media.

Sean Waltman is one of Nash's closest friends and extended his support to the Hall of Famer.

Tristen Nash's birth influenced Kevin Nash's decision to move to WCW

Kevin's wife, Tamara, was pregnant with Tristen when the wrestling legend left WWE for WCW in 1996. His son's birth seemingly influenced Nash's exit as he was seeking a lighter schedule and better pay, both of which WCW offered him.

According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
