Nic Nemeth has been one of TNA Wrestlings biggest signings since his WWE release in September 2023, but according to him, an AEW deal was never close to happening.
During his interview with Chris Van Vliet, the former WWE star admitted that while hes friends with many AEW wrestlers and has had conversations with Tony Khan, he never seriously considered signing with the company. Instead, he chose TNA because it felt right on every level.
Nemeth said he watches AEW every week and respects everyone on the roster, but admitted that the companys fast-paced, complex match style doesnt fully fit how he performs.
When it came time to make a decision, Nemeth said he thought about TNA legend Kurt Angle someone hes admired throughout his career and how much Angle helped build the companys legacy. Nemeth wanted to contribute to that same spirit.
He made it clear that once he met the team at TNA, there was no doubt where he belonged.
Nemeths TNA run has already proven to be the right choice, as hes become a top star and even captured championship gold since signing in 2024. While an AEW run could have been exciting, its clear hes exactly where he wants to be helping TNA grow into something bigger.
