The anticipated match between Nic Nemeth (formerly known as Dolph Ziggler), a two-time WWE World Champion, and MJF from All Elite Wrestling (AEW) is now in jeopardy. Reports from Fightful Select indicate that there is growing concern within the independent wrestling community regarding the potential withdrawal of both Nemeth and Leon Slater from their scheduled matches against MJF and Ricochet, respectively. This unease stems from a perceived tightening of the relationship between TNA Wrestling and AEW, with expectations that TNA talent may soon face restrictions on competing against AEW stars in any promotion. Despite these challenges, Nemeth is reportedly advocating for his match with MJF to proceed as planned. Tensions escalated further when TNA president Carlos Silva expressed dissatisfaction over AEW's scheduling of a show that coincided with TNA IMPACT, a decision attributed to Warner Bros. Discovery rather than AEW itself. MJF has also taken to social media to criticize Nemeth, labeling him as an overhyped mid-card talent and accusing him of jealousy. The outcome of the match remains uncertain as the situation develops.
