While coming back for John Cena was an easy decision for Nic Nemeth, he admitted that he did it as much for himself as he did for Cena.

“It’s like, you’re going to a party, and you know there’s going to be [one] of your ex-girlfriends there,” he explained. “And you’re like, ‘Oh, I’m getting hair done, I’m getting a nice new shirt, make sure I get a tan, a workout, and go, ‘Oh, hey? What’s going on?’ and just walk, just for that one moment of walking by to let them know you’re doing great.”

Nemeth further admitted that he does have a bit of a chip on his shoulder, but that he genuinely wanted WWE to see how good he is without having him back already. 

“If you want me to come back down the line, and we can work something out once in a while for special moments to help my friends? In a heartbeat,” he claimed, before stating where his current focus actually is. “My goal is to help TNA get a TV deal and we got it on AMC…that’s the important part for me in the last six months.”
