Nic Nemeth Rules Out Full-Time AEW Move, Puts TNA First

He says TNA offers the right fit, with any WWE appearance contingent on advancing that promotion.

Zack Ryder and Dolph Ziggler battle during their WWE match at the WWE Monday Night Raw Supershow Halloween event at the Philips Arena on October 31, 2011 in Atlanta, Georgia.

Overview

  • In a new interview with Chris Van Vliet, Nemeth said he was never close to signing with AEW and would only have considered a handful of dates.
  • He cited AEW’s multi-sequence match structure and many moving parts as a poor stylistic fit for a long-term run.
  • Nemeth chose TNA to help lift the brand and has since won the TNA World Championship and the TNA World Tag Team titles with his brother Ryan.
  • He is open to WWE work only if it tangibly benefits TNA within the 2025 WWE–TNA partnership, and he dismissed a one-off NXT match as unhelpful.
  • He also revealed he nearly exited WWE before SummerSlam 2019 over creative for his Goldberg match, foreshadowing frustrations ahead of his 2023 release.
