Update On CM Punk Match At Night of Champions 2011: Why Was Kevin Nash Pulled?

News

It seemed abrupt at the end of Raw on Monday when HHH announced he was replacing Kevin Nash in the match against CM Punk at Night of Champions 2011

The conventional wisdom is that Punk would go through Nash to get to an eventual match against HHH, rumored to be penciled in for Survivor Series in NYC.

However, last night backstage, it was revealed that Nash had some kind of health issue. It’s said that in years past, it would have been a non issue, but with attention on health of wrestlers and medical clearance, WWE decided to err on the side of caution and change the PPV match. Nash is still scheduled to return to the ring later this year in the fall.

We should learn more on Super Smackdown tonight.
