Former WWE star Dolph Ziggler (Nic Nemeth) has discussed a potential debut for AEW after his recent NJPW and TNA debuts.
Nic Nemeth has been making the rounds since his WWE non-compete clause expired in December, showing up for both New Japan Pro Wrestling and TNA Wrestling.
However, many have speculated that Nemeth may land in AEW, due to his brother Ryan Nemeth already working for the company.
Ryan accompanied Nic for his NJPW debut appearance at Wrestle Kingdom 18, and speaking with SportsKeeda, Nic Nemeth was asked about a potential debut for AEW.
He said:
“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.
“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.”
Nemeth is set to face David Finlay for the IWGP Global Championship in his NJPW debut next month.
Nemeth cut his first promo in TNA on last night’s show, when he was confronted by Steve Maclin.
