Former WWE Star Says Royal Rumble Return Would Be ‘So Cool’

WWE

A former WWE World Champion has commented on a potential Royal Rumble return after their departure last year.

Dolph Ziggler’s 19-year run with WWE came to an end last September, when he was released from the company.

Ziggler is currently the TNA World Champion under his real name Nic Nemeth, and with the ongoing relationship between WWE and TNA, many have speculated about whether we could see him appear in the company again soon.

Speaking to the Daily Star, Nemeth was asked about the possibility of a return to WWE television in the 2025 Royal Rumble match, to which he said it would be ‘so cool’, but he’d only want to do it to create a viral moment to allow him to promote TNA.

He said:

“I’m trying to think now what music would be better to make everyone go, ‘Oh!’? I don’t know. As much as I’d want to hear my new music, I think we’d play the old stuff, and then maybe the new one on the way out or something. A Rumble spot, though? Dude, that’s so cool.

“WWE’s killing it right now. To do something fun wear my old trunks, get the old music to play, come out there, and kick somebody in the face? That would be awesome. But the most important thing would be creating a viral moment, so I could talk about TNA. That’s the only reason I’d want to do it.

“It’d be cool to see some old friends, but most importantly, I just… you know, I left on purpose. Not because I hated that place. They’re killing it right now.”

In the same interview, Nemeth detailed the motivation behind his WWE departure last year, which you can see here.
