Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I te marama o Akuhata 2003, i whawhai a Nash ki a Chris Jericho, a, i akina ia ki te tapahi i ona makawe i muri i te hinganga o te makawe ki te makawe ki a Jericho i te wahanga 18 o Akuhata o "Raw". I hangaia tenei hei hipoki mo te tapahi o nga makawe a Nash mo tana mahi hei "The Russian" mo te kiriata "Punisher" 2004. Ko tana tukinga whakamutunga i te WWE i
SummerSlam i roto i te whakataetae Elimination Chamber mo te Toa Taumaha Taumaha o te Ao ki a Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Goldberg, Chris Jericho, me Randy Orton. Ko ia te tuatahi i whakakorea i muri i te kitenga o Jericho i a ia e whai ana i te Waiata Sweet Chin a Michaels. I mua i tana wehenga atu, heoi, i whakaekehia e ia he Jackknife Powerbomb i runga i a Jericho me Orton. Na ka neke atu a Nash mai i te mahi i roto i te mowhiti, a, ka whakahaerehia te kaki.
