WWE released Nemeth, once known as former world champion Dolph Ziggler, in September 2023. He has returned to the wrestling world, as he made appeared at NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 18. Nemeth has already caught the attention of several stars on the independent scene, including Matt Cardona.
At GCW No Compadre on January 12, Matt Cardona appeared via satellite and challenged Nic Nemeth to face him.
On January 15, Nemeth took to social media and posted his response to Cardona.
“You know, this really makes me wonder if The Indy God has any idea what kind of records one must break in college, just to be accepted at a top wrestling school or the vaguest clue of what it’s like to lead a wrestling team as a captain. I have an MD from Louisville. I am more certified in cardiovascular medicine and traumatic injury, and I have been awarded salutations from several online message boards in New York, and I am never, ever sick at sea. So I ask you this. When someone buys a ticket to a wrestling show and they make their way to their seats, and they drop down on their knees and pray to god that their favorite doesn’t get hurt, or that the star doesn’t bleed out in front of them, or that the best match on the card doesn’t suffer trauma from post-operative shock or even worse, get less than five-stars, who do you think they’re praying to? Now you go ahead and you read your dirtsheets, Matthew, and you have your live podcast shows, and you call yourself anything you want. With any luck, you’ll be PWI Wrestler of the Year. But if you are looking for the best, he’s been operating with unparalleled precision since 2004 and does not like to be second-guessed. You. Call yourself The Indy God? Let me tell you something, brother. You are. But you will never be me. Later, mark,” Nemeth said.
Cardona replied by questioning whether Nemeth accepted his challenge or not.
As of this writing, there is no word on whether Nemeth and Cardona will have a match. Fightful will provide more information as it becomes available.
