The former Dolph Ziggler requested his release despite having 18 months left on his WWE contract, citing limited in-ring opportunities as a key factor in his decision.
Nic Nemeth, the current TNA World Champion, has opened up about his departure from WWE in September 2023 after a 19-year run with the company. Nemeth joined TNA Wrestling following his exit and captured the World Championship at Slammiversary 2024 in a Six-way elimination match against Frankie Kazarian, Joe Hendry, Josh Alexander, Moose, and Steve Maclin.
During a conversation with Daily Star, Nemeth explained his decision to request an early release from his contract:
I had a year and a half of my contract still, and I said, ‘Please!’ I go, ‘I’m not doing anything here; I’m hanging out; I’m doing cold five-minute matches.’ I go, ‘I don’t know how much longer I am a believable world champion for any other company.’ I might have five more years; I might have two; I might have 10; I don’t know.
The 44-year-old wrestler further elaborated on his perspective regarding the situation:
But I go, ‘Sitting here, collecting a paycheck, and working for five minutes a week is not helping WWE, and it’s sure as hell is not helping me.’ So luckily, they gave me the chance to get out of there.
The situation intensified when Owens displayed the retired championship belt on social media and declared himself the true WWE Champion during the RAW on Netflix Kickoff Show.
Triple H prioritized ensuring Rhodes received medical attention following the Package Piledriver assault. The physical confrontation between Triple H and Owens suggests impending consequences, which may include fines or suspension.
