Nic Nemeth Rules Out AEW Deal, Says Any WWE Return Would Serve TNA

He cites AEW's match structure as a poor fit for his style.

Overview

  • Nemeth said he was not close to signing with AEW, noting only past conversations with Tony Khan and respect for the roster.
  • He would have considered a few AEW dates but chose TNA after deciding it best fit his approach and offered a chance to boost the brand.
  • Since arriving in TNA in early 2024, he has captured the TNA World Championship and tag team titles alongside his brother, Ryan.
  • He is open to select WWE appearances only if they advance TNA’s interests, rejecting a standalone NXT match and favoring marquee matchups that create value for TNA.
  • He points to the 2025 WWETNA partnership, including TNA’s weekly presence on NXT, and says he aims to leverage it to spotlight TNA talent.
