Andrew Yang: WWE Stars Should Be SAG‑AFTRA Members, Echoing Kevin Nash

Andrew Yang weighed in after Kevin Nash suggested on his Kliq This podcast that WWE performers should consider joining SAG‑AFTRA amid reports WWE/TKO has asked some talent to accept pay cuts. Responding to a Cultaholic post, Yang wrote, “Nash is right — WWE wrestlers participate in highly-rated scripted programming every week. They should be SAG-AFTRA members already.”

Yang has repeatedly criticized WWE’s treatment of talent and the company’s classification of wrestlers as independent contractors, pointing to past disputes like the 2020 Twitch policy that briefly saw Zelina Vega leave the company. He also took aim at recent creative decisions, arguing earlier this year that increased celebrity involvement at WrestleMania and corporate priorities have sidelined the core wrestling performers.
