Nic Nemeth won’t be Dolph Ziggler in TNA world title bout at Rebellion

Fire up the countdown clock. Time is ticking down until Nic Nemeth challenges Moose for the TNA World Championship at Rebellion on Saturday night (Apr. 20, 2024). In a final trash-talk session, Nemeth made it clear that it won’t be Dolph Ziggler in that ring.

During Impact (Apr. 18, 2024), Nemeth arrived to the ring for the final hype job. The Wanted Man had fun with the Philly crowd for a Sandman entrance with beer and a kendo stick.

The good times stopped once Moose interrupted his adversary. The champ tried his hand at head games. Nemeth was confident in his ability to win the world title, but what happens after? Moose pointed out Nemeth’s past with the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. A football analogy was used. Nemeth carries the ball for a few yards then fumbles it away.

Moose’s critique struck a nerve with Nemeth. The challenge composed himself to fire back. Nemeth has heard the criticism throughout his career, and it even caused self-doubt. But that was then, and this is now.

Nemeth assured Moose that it would be a big mistake to assume he is the same as before. Nemeth is in the best shape of his life mentally and physically. It won’t be Dolph Ziggler in that ring at Rebellion. It will be Nic Nemeth beating Moose’s ass.

That promo session was a strong hype job to sell the main event of Rebellion. Nemeth gave his fans points to rally behind, and I’d like to think he piqued the interest of doubters as well to check out if he can really be a top guy. Of course, that’s if Nemeth is victorious. It is no small task to beat Moose, let alone for the TNA World Championship.

TNA posted the full video for your viewing pleasure.

Rebellion will be available for streaming through TNA+, TrillerTV powered by Fite, and various other outlets.

Do you think Nic Nemeth can be a better version of Dolph Ziggler as TNA world champion?
