Will Nic Nemeth be a part of AEW in the near future?
Ever since it was announced that the former Dolph Ziggler was released from his WWE contract back in September 2023, many predicted that All Elite Wrestling would be his new home. Along with having the star power to garner interest from the second-largest promotion in the United States, the former World Heavyweight Champion’s brother Ryan Nemeth is also a part of the roster.
Since becoming a free agent, Nic Nemeth has made a surprise appearance for NJPW at Wrestle Kingdom 18 and debuted for TNA at Hard to Kill. However, in a move that few expected, there has been so sign on Nemeth on Dynamite.
Speaking with Sportskeeda, Nemeth stated that currently, his main priority is the two promotions he has previously appeared for and not with AEW:
“I am very focused on New Japan and TNA right now. I have seen a few different people on both of those rosters that I am blown away with. Not doing moves, being awesome at wrestling. Some of them have bigger names, and some of them don’t have a name that’s really well-known all over the world yet. There’s a handful, there’s one or two in New Japan, and there’s five or six at TNA, that I have been watching very closely.
I famously don’t watch wrestling, but I have been following and going, ‘This person is one big break away from being the next up-and-coming thing. How can I help them, but also make the show awesome?’ I sit here, almost like an accountant, going over numbers and stuff. How can I make this a bigger deal? How can I make TNA one percent even better than it already is? Here’s how. Here’s what I should do. Here’s the way to go, and I’m gonna prove it to everybody.
Nemeth concluded by expressing how excited he is to be able to regularly wrestle again:
I’m excited because I’ve been sitting around for six months, going, ‘When the hell do I get to start wrestling again?’ I feel fantastic. I’m in the best shape of my life. I’ve done 20 straight years with three TVs that I’ve missed. That is unparalleled. I’m gonna continue this. I might wrestle for 20 more,”
Nic Nemeth Was In High Demand When No-Compete Expired
Following on from the release, the former WWE Superstar had to wait 90 days before he could appear in another promotion. When the no-compete expired, Nic Nemeth admitted that he was inundated with offers to appear at various promotions, something he is extremely grateful for.
