Kevin Nash denies Bret Hart’s claims of a Vince McMahon-Shawn Michaels romance

Posted: Dec 2nd 2025 By: Vincent Verhei

Despite Bret Hart’s claims, there is no truth to the idea that Vince McMahon and Shawn Michaels were secret lovers.

That’s according to Kevin Nash, who worked closely with McMahon and Michaels during a year-long reign as World Wrestling Federation champion in the 1990s.

“I spent the better part of three years of my life with Shawn Michaels,” Nash said on his Kliq This podcast. “And I never remember having a double knockout with Vince during any of our travel.”

“There’s just no way that it would be that he never told anybody,” Nash continued. “He couldn’t tell anybody. See, that’s one of those things where you tell a story like that and you say ‘I’m sure.’ But no, you’re not. No, this is all speculation. He saw nothing. He didn’t walk in on, you know, Pat Patterson or anything like that.”

Nash says there’s “no way” that McMahon and Michaels could have kept a romantic relationship secret for nearly 30 years.

Hart made his claims on the Johnny Pro Show while discussing the anniversary of the Montreal Screwjob. “I think Shawn and Vince were sleeping with each other,” he said.

“When I look back, I got caught between two lovers. I got shafted and screwed over and Shawn was so envious and jealous of my position that he finally had to sleep with Vince to get it.”

Nash suggested the timing of Hart’s comments was not coincidental. “I think it’s in poor taste,” he said. “I know they’re talking about the screwjob … somebody, please, get the [censored] over that.”
