An unexpected entrance by former WWE superstar Dolph Ziggler at the Hard To Kill event marked his arrival at TNA Wrestling. Ziggler, whose real name is Nic Nemeth, debuted in NJPW after being fired from WWE in September. He then made a big splash in TNA.
Nemeth’s main event appearance at TNA’s Hard To Kill pay-per-view added to the buzz. By viciously assaulting the newly crowned TNA World Champion while proudly wearing his TNA t-shirt, the professional wrestling legend known as the “Wanted Man” broke the fourth wall and made history.
Nic Nemeth debuts at TNA Hard to Kill
Officially returning to its old name, TNA (Total Nonstop Action), the wrestling organization made a triumphant return to its beginnings at the TNA Hard to Kill event in Las Vegas. Speculation about possibly adding a former WWE star to the TNA roster began before the event when TNA President Scott D’Amore dropped hints about a big acquisition.
Alex Shelley defended the TNA World Championship against the victorious Moose in the main event’s heated bout. It was Nic Nemeth’s spectacular entrance—formerly known as Dolph Ziggler in WWE—that caught everyone off guard. As part of his assault on Moose, Nemeth tore off his shirt, revealing a TNA emblem, and formally proclaimed his affiliation with TNA Wrestling.
Fans are excited to see what Nemeth brings to the table, and the wrestling community is predicting great cross-promotional potential for him thanks to his recent participation in New Japan Pro-Wrestling and TNA’s affiliations with other firms.
Nic Nemeth’s first TNA match details revealed
With his departure from WWE, Nemeth begins a new chapter in his career as an independent wrestler, taking advantage of chances presented by other firms. He’s ready for his first TNA match right away, after a great intro at the Hard To Kill pay-per-view.
A bout between Nic Nemeth and Zachary Wentz, better known as Nash Carter in WWE NXT, will be taped on January 14 during the Snake Eyes tapings and broadcasted on a subsequent edition of TNA iMPACT. This schedule was announced by TNA’s official Twitter account.
Unlike his experiences in WWE, Nemeth can adjust fast, as seen by the rapid scheduling of his new signing. A recent interview with Busted Open Radio highlighted Nemeth’s adaptability, and his first encounter in TNA supports this premise.
Does that sound like other WWE wrestlers who were let go might follow the same path as Nic Nemeth? Do you have any thoughts on that? Share your opinion in the comments.
