Nic Nemeth Calls His Shot For TNA Slammiversary World Title Bout: I Will Not Be Taking Advantage Of A Hurt Little Lamb

Nic Nemeth has called his shot, vowing to face off with the TNA World Champion at TNA Slammiversary 2026.

Last year, Nemeth would be one of two winners of the Call Your Shot gauntlet, and has previously attempted to execute the contract but was prevented from doing so at Bound For Glory last year. Now, he has made it clear when he plans to execute his World Championship bout.

While speaking in a digital exclusive on Sunday afternoon, Nic Nemeth vowed that he would not take advantage of a weakened world champion, noting that he will use his Call Your Shot opportunity to face the champion one on one at the PPV.

“As the man with the Call Your Shot trophy, I’ve had many options to call it, and I know what I do, and I know what I’m capable of in this business, and I can do it better than anyone else at any given time, and I’ve waited, and I think I’ve waited a little bit too long. But as a man of my word, a man of honor in the business of professional wrestling where you don’t find too many, I know that big business, big box office, the big move, the big play is Slammiversary. So get ready for this breaking news here. From one man to an entire world, I will not be taking advantage of a hurt little lamb and trying to sneak my way in as champion. I am going to Slammiversary, and I don’t care who my opponent is. X wrestler versus Y wrestler will be fighting yours truly. Truly, the wanted man, Nick Nemeth, as I call my shot, I don’t care if it’s Eric Young. I don’t care if it’s your champ, Santana. I know what they’re capable of. I know how hard they hit. But here’s the best move ever. As a gentleman, a man of my word, I am saying it right now. I am calling my shot. At Slammiversary. That’s where the money is. That’s where your boy is. That’s where everyone’s going to be talking the next night. About a brand new champion. You wanted the best. You’re looking at him. The wanted man. Letting everyone in the world know. So there’s no mistake. No crying after. No going, ‘oh what happened. You got you in a little loophole. You cheated.’ No. I’m letting everyone know right now. I am calling my shot. To your face is anybody, Eric Young, Santana versus The Wanted Man for the TNA Championship.”
