Nic Nemeth Says He Knew About WWE Return Weeks Ago

Nic Nemeth (Dolph Ziggler) was the final surprise in the Last Time is Now tournament, joining the tournament as the mystery opponent for Solo Sikoa.

The tournament was announced on November 1st, and Nemeth’s surprise was teased a week prior to Monday when his name was drawn, but not revealed.

Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Nemeth was asked when he knew he would be part of the tournament.

“Two, three weeks, perhaps,” he said. “There is a handful of surprises and big moments that everybody remembers. I didn’t tell my parents. I told my brother. ‘If anybody finds out, I’ll know you told them because I told nobody else.’ I’m in a group chat with Bobby Roode, Zack Ryder, and Brian Myers. I didn’t say anything. Me and Zack didn’t say anything. He said nothing. A couple interviews at The Big Event, they were like, ‘Are you wrestling on Monday at the Garden?’ ‘Pshhh, I wish. That would be cool. Cena’s last Raw.'”

Elsewhere during the interview, Nemeth discussed the layout of the match and how he felt about things. You can find his full comments here.
