Not really. If the result of WWIII is that we revert to fighting with sticks and stones, then the next WW will be fought centuries later after we are able to create something like the weapons of the first WW. Any battles in the mean time will be very local. People across the globe will not even know about it.

I think part of the intent of the quote is to point out that after WWIII, "the world" might consist of a couple of guys with sticks and stones.

And that would be really sad if the last two people on Earth could not help but fight over something!
