MJF vs Nic Nemeth Announced For Create-A-Pro Wrestling Event In New York

MJF vs Nic Nemeth Announced For Create-A-Pro Wrestling Event In New York

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.

MJF Blasts Nic Nemeth, Issues Threat

MJF Blasts Nic Nemeth, Issues Threat Ahead Of AEW Dynasty Title Defense

MJF has fired back at Nic Nemeth in a heated social media rant, accusing the TNA star of being “delusional and jealous” after months of criticism.

The AEW World Champion addressed comments Nemeth has made on Busted Open Radio, where Nemeth has offered critiques of MJF’s work. According to MJF, those remarks crossed the line from analysis into personal shots.

“I’ve been listening to Nic Nemeth trashing me through veiled ‘advice’ and ‘notes’ on Busted Open for months when in reality he’s just shtting on me out of jealousy,”* MJF wrote. “This dude actually said I remind him of a younger Dolph Ziggler. lol. I don’t remember ever being an overhyped mid carder. This dude is delusional. This dude is jealous. And most importantly this dude should keep my name out of his f**king mouth.”

MJF escalated the situation further by issuing a direct warning to Nemeth, making it clear he would not tolerate further mentions.

“I’m the most complete professional wrestler in the world,” he continued. “You couldn’t lace my boots or carry my mic. Say my name again on your little show and I’ll beat the f**king sht out of you. You know where to find me.”*

Despite the personal back-and-forth, MJF made it clear that his primary focus remains on his upcoming title defense. He is set to face Kenny Omega at AEW Dynasty in a high-profile AEW World Championship match.

“In the meantime I’m gonna focus on my world title defense against ‘The God’ Kenny Omega at [AEW] Dynasty. Cuz I only face the best of the best. Lmk when the Spirit Squad guy belongs in that conversation,” MJF added.

The exchange adds another layer of controversy around MJF, who continues to generate headlines both inside and outside AEW as he heads into one of his biggest matches of the year.

Report: Drew McIntyre & Jacob Fatu Set For Big Stipulation Match At WWE WrestleMania

With WrestleMania 42 mere weeks away, the match lineup is set to rapidly grow. Over on the “WWE SmackDown” brand, one anticipated bout will reportedly come attached with a major stipulation.

According to Ibou of Self Made, the building hostility between Jacob Fatu and Drew McIntyre will lead to a match on the grand stage, with the expectation that it will be contested inside Hell in a Cell.

Fatu and McIntyre’s rivalry extends back to last year, but in recent weeks, it’s glaringly intensified. On March 6, Fatu snatched a chair out of McIntyre’s hands in order to prevent him from delivering further damage to his opponent at the time, Cody Rhodes. This move proved pivotal as “The American Nightmare” subsequently regained control of the bout and hit McIntyre with a Cody Cutter-Cross Rhodes combo to secure the pinfall and the Undisputed WWE Championship.

Last week, Fatu and McIntyre brawled with each other throughout “SmackDown” until they both ended up atop a steel platform. With officials unable to intervene due to a barricading fence, Fatu and McIntyre then fell from great heights and made a thunderous crash. Following this, “SmackDown” General Manager Nick Aldis will provide an update on the condition of “The Scottish Psychopath” and “The Samoan Werewolf.”

Reports of a McIntyre-Fatu match surfaced earlier this month after Randy Orton won the Men’s Elimination Chamber to earn an Undisputed WWE Championship match at WrestleMania. WWE ultimately booked Rhodes to unseat McIntyre as WWE Champion on the following “SmackDown,” meaning Rhodes would be the one to defend the title against Orton at the April 18 and 19 premium live event, while McIntyre pivoted to Fatu. The idea of Hell In A Cell had previously been pitched for other bouts that were later taken off the table for WrestleMania.

TNA Victory Road 2011: Retro 3 Things We Hated And 3 Things We Loved

Part of me is almost of the mind that there’s nothing more that can be said about this match; we’ve all probably seen it by now, we all know it was a disgrace. Does it really bear repeating that point again? After further review, YES!

This match is a failure on almost every level, from Jeff Hardy being obviously impaired during his entrance to Eric Bischoff vamping to Sting literally pinning Hardy down for the three-count to end an 88-second world title match, even though Hardy clearly tried to kick out. Sting and referee Brian Hebner are the only ones here that I would say showed any professionalism. All credit to Jeff Hardy for owning his behavior over the years, but it doesn’t change the fact that he certainly didn’t act professional by coming out for this match in no condition to perform. The TNA executives who allowed him to go out there, who allowed him to get into this state by not keeping a closer eye on him during the day, and who were so clueless to this that they couldn’t put together a proper replacement match in time, were somehow even less professional. And by the way, they continued to be that way in the years since, all trying to pass the buck of blame from themselves. That, dear readers, is how you wind up with this match, one of the most embarrassing things to ever occur in a wrestling ring. You would think I don’t need to tell you it’s a total disgrace, but then again, we should probably all be reminded how terrible this was, just to make sure it never happens again.

Fifteen years later, we all agree with Sting, who agreed with the fans. “That was bulls***,” indeed.
