Kevin Nash didnt hold back when weighing in on Becky Lynchs controversial promo that took aim at the late Ozzy Osbourneand the WWE Hall of Famer believes she may have crossed a line that could cost her more than just fan support.

Lynch made headlines during the August 25 episode of WWE RAW with a promo that aired live from Birmingham, England. Attempting to draw heel heat, Lynch invoked Osbournes death to insult the UK city, stating:

That line immediately sparked backlashnot just from fans, but from Ozzys daughter Kelly Osbourne, who tore into Lynch on Instagram:

In a recent YouTube episode, Kevin Nash gave his take on the promo and did not mince words. He called it a desperate move from Lynch:

Nash acknowledged that while the promo may not have been directly disrespectful toward Ozzy Osbourne, referencing his death in that way was still out of lineespecially so soon after it happened.

From a business standpoint, Nash was also concerned about how this reflects on WWEs corporate parent, TKO Group Holdings:

Nash also raised the possibility that Lynch may have gone rogue during the segment:

The conversation ended with Nash questioning why a top star like Lynch would even need to stoop to that level when WWE is already enjoying strong mainstream momentum:

Its like youre 245 laps ahead in a race and youre taking a shortcut. Why do you even need to go there? I just think its stupid.

At this time, WWE has not issued a public apology, though insiders say the company was blindsided by the promo and is embarrassed over the backlash. Discussions have taken place internally about how to address the issue, including a possible private or public apology to the Osbourne family.

Becky Lynch remains silent on the controversybut with legends like Kevin Nash speaking out and public pressure mounting, the fallout may not be over.
