Former WWE star and current TNA star Nic Nemeth is set to face Speedball Mike Bailey during WrestleMania 40 weekend.
On September 21, 2023, WWE released former two-time World Heavyweight Champion Dolph Ziggler in a litany of budget cuts.
Following the end of his 90-day non compete clause, Ziggler, now known as Nic Nemeth, debuted for New Japan Pro Wrestling at NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 18.
Nemeth then went on to debut for TNA Wrestling at their Hard To Kill 2024 event and faced Matt Cardona for Game Changer Wrestling.
On February 18, Josh Barnett announced that “The Wanted Man” Nic Nemeth will make his debut at Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport during WrestleMania 40 weekend. Barnett announced that Nemeth will face TNA’s Speedball Mike Bailey in a fight at Bloodsport X in Philadelphia on Thursday, April 4. The post reads:
A decorated collegiate wrestler, now free from his restraints has sought a ring to finally show his true strength, of which has been found.
But what is ring without an opponent? What can be truly achieved if there is not a challenge to overcome? This Bloodsport vet seeks to not only meet this demand but to infact make this wrestler’s dream a nightmare.
