Former WWE star makes TNA debut under new name

One of the unexpected guests at the TNA Hard to Kill 2024 Pay-Per-View was Nic Nemeth, formerly known as Dolph Ziggler. He attended with various WWE stars, some of whom were on TV, while others were noticed by devoted fans.

Nic Nemeth, a former grand slam champion of WWE, garnered significant attention. During the Hard to Kill pay-per-view, TNA made a dramatic return to its former identity, and Nic Nemeth’s debut had an immediate impact on the program as he began the evening by attacking TNA champion Moose.

Dolph Ziggler makes TNA debut as Nic Nemeth

Ziggler became known as one of WWE’s most dependable performers for the subsequent fifteen years. Despite his former prominence, Ziggler has fallen into oblivion in recent years, appearing in only a handful of bouts since May and having little to no impact since departing NXT in April 2022. His sudden exit in September heightened speculation about his possible induction into the WWE Hall of Fame, surprising many fans.

Although Nemeth’s contract with TNA is still under wraps, it’s clear that he intends to work a lot of dates outside of the business. A future edition of Impact will include his first match for TNA, which is set for Sunday and will feature Zachary Wentz. When TNA had the chance to work with one of WWE’s major stars, they wasted no time taking advantage of it.

Nic messed up Moose’s peaceful night, which was a surprise. Nemeth interrupted Moose’s championship celebration by stepping out to face him, landing a combination of a Superkick and a Zig Zag, before vanishing into the crowd.

Dolph Ziggler’s WWE accomplishments

The irresistible personality and unmatched skill of WWE superstar Dolph Ziggler won over admirers. Despite beginning his career as a caddie and cheerleader, Dolph Ziggler’s journeyman road revealed his incredible potential. Ziggler became a divisive figure during his time with WWE. 

His achievements and victories have garnered him admiration from legends and other superstars, even if he is criticized by the WWE Universe. After making his 2004 WWE debut, Ziggler made a permanent transition to the main roster in 2008, where he went on to win the World, US, Tag Team, and Intercontinental Championships, among others.

When Ziggler returned to the ring in 2018, he formed formidable tag teams with Drew McIntyre and, subsequently, Robert Roode, after a short hiatus in 2017. His extensive resume attests to his excellence, and his outstanding efforts cement his place in WWE history.

He won WWE Championship (2-times), WWE Intercontinental Championship (6-times), WWE United States Championship (2-times) and WWE Tag Team Championship (3-times).

Oh, hi, this is Md Robin Ahmed, a WWE fan and I everyday go through a slew of popular WWE stories on Sportszion. Watching Big Show's Showstopper was the beginning of my passion for WWE, though I have to say that his Chokeslam is not one of my favorite moves. Over time, my love for professional wrestling has intensified, mostly due to the Shield, and my all-time favorite wrestler in WWE is Big Dog. I would give everything to be able to be within a few feet of him to witness his iconic Superman Punch and Spear. My major is engineering, but I'm most happy when I'm doing something artistic that doesn't put me under any pressure. Watching them wrestle and discuss their matches is always fun for me. And I've finally discovered a career that gives me fun since it allows me to with my dream heroes lifestyle. So, Welcome! I'd love to hear from you on LinkedIn and Facebook.
