WWE released Kevin Nash

It has been stated on WWE.com that Kevin Nash has been "released" from WWE and of course that they wish him the best in his future endeavors. Idk but this kind of seems fishy to me. Why would release Kevin Nash when he's in a such a good storyline with CM Punk and Triple H? And before the Night of Champions PPV? I think this is just a work because on Raw this monday Triple H fired Nash and I think they really want this storyline to seem legit. Either way i guess fans will just have to tune in to Raw to see what happens...
