A major inter-promotional clash is now official, as MJF will face Nic Nemeth at an upcoming Create-A-Pro Wrestling event on May 1.

The show will take place at All Sportz Melville and will feature several notable names across multiple promotions. Promotional material for the event also highlights talent such as Frankie Kazarian, Kris Statlander, and members of The System faction.

The announcement comes just hours after MJF went on a heated social media rant directed at Nemeth, stemming from months of criticism on Busted Open Radio. Taking to social media, MJF confirmed the match with a direct message aimed at his opponent.

“@Myers_Wrestling just hit me up and said this clowns down to throw hands. See ya there Nicky,” MJF wrote.

The rivalry between the two has been building since January, with MJF repeatedly responding to Nemeth’s critiques. During his earlier comments, MJF took shots at Nemeth’s past in WWE, including his time as part of the Spirit Squad, while also downplaying his standing in the industry. He also referenced his focus on his upcoming AEW World Championship defense against Kenny Omega at AEW Dynasty, stating he only competes against top-tier talent.

MJF has a personal connection to Create-A-Pro Wrestling, having trained at the school under Brian Myers and Pat Buck before signing with AEW in 2019 and rising to become one of the company’s top stars.

Meanwhile, Nemeth is currently signed to TNA Wrestling but has indicated that his contract allows him the flexibility to compete in other promotions. Prior to that, he spent nearly two decades in WWE, where he captured multiple championships, including the World Heavyweight Title and Money in the Bank.

With real-life tension now translating into an in-ring showdown, the May 1 event is set to deliver one of the most talked-about matches outside the major promotions.
