Ryan Nemeth: I’ve Been Telling Dolph Ziggler (Nic Nemeth) To Leave WWE For Over A Decade

Ryan Nemeth comments on working with his brother outside of WWE. 

Dolph Ziggler (Nic Nemeth) was released by WWE in September 2023 and became a free agent in December after his 90-day non-compete clause was up. His first post-WWE appearance came at NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 18 when he entered the Tokyo Dome alongside his brother Ryan Nemeth. 

Appearing on Busted Open Radio, Ryan was asked about getting to work with his brother. 

“I’m very excited about it. I just had the flashback of, when that kind of question is asked to someone, and they say, ‘Well, you’ll have to wait and see.’ I can’t do that. I can’t wait. Is there something or isn’t there? I’ve been telling him to leave WWE for like over a decade now. I think it’s always great to leave and reinvent yourself or leave and just do something else. I’m psyched to tag with him, I’m psyched to do more comedy shows with him. We just shot Wanted Man, which is incredible and getting a huge positive response to launch his new character. We have 3 million views on social platforms. I’m so psyched about the positive response. Some horror websites are doing write ups on it. That kind of stuff is what I’m psyched about and you can’t do that kind of stuff when one of you is trapped in a very intense WWE schedule. I’m very excited to start wrestling with him, doing events with him, and shooting more stuff. Nemeth Bros forever, baby,” he said. 

Nic Nemeth is set to make his NJPW debut at NJPW New Beginning In Sapporo when he faces David Finlay.
