Westside Gunn Says Nick Khan “Made Everything Right” — The WWE Beef Is Over
Westside Gunn just buried one of the loudest feuds in wrestling-rap. The Buffalo rapper announced Tuesday that he sat down with WWE president Nick Khan — and walked out with the beef squashed.
Gunn posted on X: “JUST LEFT ONE OF THE BIGGEST MEETINGS OF MY LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! S/O to NICK KHAN 4 MAKING EVERYTHING RIGHT, WHATEVER HAPPENED IN THIS PAST DOESN’T MATTER…..WERE HERE TO PUSH THE CULTURE FOWARD.” He tagged his 4th Rope promotion and WWE, and shared four photos from the meeting.
He didn’t announce contract terms or spell out what the two sides will do together — no named wrestler joining WWE, no new television arrangement. The post centers on the meeting itself and the relationship going forward.
That’s a full reversal from November 2025, when Gunn said he’d been removed from a WWE Raw show in Buffalo after buying a $5,000 seat, and vowed to stop promoting the company. His public break with WWE also involved complaints about wrestling references in his music and artwork — he said the company had threatened action over those uses after years of him buying tickets and celebrating its performers.
Through it all, Gunn kept building 4th Rope, his promotion mixing live wrestling, hip-hop performances and clothing, with talent including The Hardys and Zilla Fatu at its events. He announced the venture in 2022 and introduced Parker Boudreaux as its first official wrestler.
The timing is not an accident. Gunn brings 4th Rope and Mass Appeal’s Heels Have Eyes: Heelmatic event to New York’s Melrose Ballroom on Thursday, November 12 — already sold out — where he’ll also play music from HEELMATIC, his 16-track album arriving Friday through Griselda Records and Mass Appeal. Thursday’s event streams live on the REVOLT and 4th Rope YouTube channels.

Question: Gunn went from kicked out of Raw to a sit-down with the president — is this the smartest business move of his career?
