Nic Nemeth recalls receiving several requests to come back to WWE for several ideas, eventually accepting due to his respect for John Cena.
During the Last Time Is Now tournament, Nemeth would feature as part of it, returning at Madison Square Garden to take on Solo Sikoa in the tournament to decide Cena’s final opponent.
While speaking to the Sweet Pop podcast, Nic Nemeth explained that he turned down several requests for him to return to WWE until a request came in to return for the Last Time Is Now tournament.
“They had asked me to come back a couple different times for some other things, and I was like, ‘Uh, I don’t know. It’s been two years. I don’t really want to,’ and then they said, ‘This is for Cena.’ They said, ‘We’ve had a million matches together. Incredible guy. We’ve done so much. We have a story. We have a history, and I know all the good that he’s done. You could roll down a Santa Claus list of everything he’s done, what he’s done for us in the back, what he’s done to help the guys and girls, what he’s done granting wishes… everything. Come on, he’s the greatest of all time. So now, come back for this tournament? Yeah—hell yeah, I’ll come back. I really wanted to go, ‘I want you to see how good I am still.”
