Nic Nemeth Reveals The Only Reason He’d Want To Do A Royal Rumble Appearance

Nic Nemeth says he’d only want to do a Royal Rumble appearance to promote TNA.

The TNA World Champion recently had an interview with Daily Star. Among other questions, he was asked about a potential Royal Rumble cameo and whether he’d like to show up as Dolph Ziggler or Nic Nemeth.

The wrestling veteran first discussed how he didn’t want to make an appearance on NXT while TNA partnered up with them because he had already worked the show and left WWE on his own accord. He believed that young talents from the TNA roster could benefit much more from such an opportunity.

On the topic of a potential Royal Rumble appearance, Nemeth mentioned that he wouldn’t mind busting out his old ring gear for one night, but only so he can use that buzz to promote TNA:

“To do something fun. Wear my old trunks, get the old music to play, come out there, and kick somebody in the face? That would be awesome. But the most important, it would just be something to have a viral moment, so I could talk about TNA. That’s the only reason I’d want to do it.”

Mickie James was the first TNA champion to represent the company with a Royal Rumble appearance in 2022. Jordynne Grace then followed in her footsteps with a cameo in the 2024 edition of the battle royal.

If Nic Nemeth does show up at the Royal Rumble, he’d become the first male champion from TNA roster to make a main roster appearance for the Endeavor-owned promotion.

Before he can do so, however, Nemeth will have to overcome the challenge of Joe Hendry who’d be challenging him in a championship rematch at the Genesis event on January 19, 2025.
