Nic Nemeth, the former Dolph Ziggler, has arrived in TNA, doing so at the conclusion of their Hard To Kill pay-per-view.

Nemeth confronted Moose, who had just captured the TNA World Championship from Alex Shelley, and laid him out with a Superkick and a Zig Zag before revealing a TNA shirt. Though still to be confirmed, this would seemingly revealed ‘The Most Wanted Man’ as having been the rumoured major signing touted by TNA President, Scott D’Amore.

Nemeth had previously shown up at NJPW’s Wrestle Kingdom 18 event on January 4 alongside his brother and AEW star, Ryan Nemeth. There, he got into an altercation with Bullet Club War Dogs’ David Finlay, declaring his intentions of coming for Finlay’s newly-won and newly-created IWGP Global Heavyweight Championship.

Having last wrestled on May 29 2023 in a double count out with JD McDonagh, Nic Nemeth’s first post-WWE match will see him collide with Zachary Wentz of The Rascalz at TNA’s Snake Eyes tapings, airing on a future TNA iMPACT! broadcast.

Nic Nemeth: “I Have To Move On”

Released by WWE in September 2023, Nic Nemeth’s 19-year career ended, though according to the former World Heavyweight Champion, he had been ready to move on from WWE for years, as he detailed on Busted Open Radio (H/T Fightful):

“It wasn’t out of the blue [his release]. I had sent emails to the boss over the last few months saying, ‘I have to move on to somewhere else, can you let me do this?’ Eventually, without exact back and forth, that’s how it worked out. It wasn’t weird because it was so six, eight, ten months in place going, ‘Here it comes.’ Now, I have 90 days sitting around, which broke my heart, but I just got extra workouts.”

A decorated competitor, Nemeth enjoyed fifteen championship reigns throughout his WWE career and, at his peak, was voted the ninth-best wrestler in the world during the 2013 PWI 500.
