Nic Nemeth Claims MJF Is Hoping Tony Khan Cancels Their Match

Nic Nemeth has commented on his upcoming match with MJF, scheduled for May 1st at the Monumental Moment show hosted by Create A Pro Wrestling. The bout follows a series of public exchanges between the two wrestlers.

The match takes place in an independent wrestling setting, separate from All Elite Wrestling programming, where MJF is currently featured. The event will bring together talent from multiple promotions.

Speaking in an interview with Pep Shop Collectibles, Nemeth addressed their ongoing back-and-forth and MJF’s approach heading into the match. He suggested that MJF may not be fully committed to the contest and referenced the possibility of outside involvement from Tony Khan, though no such plans have been announced (via Fightful).

“We saw some beef online, it was Max being insecure and being mad at me and saying a bunch of mean things — some of them true. He made some good points. Some digs, some gut punches that hurt. All I did was say that I think the world of him and I want him to be better and I want him to be like Dylan Cabrio. I want him to be someone that leads his company and leads everybody into 10 years from now where they’re talking about this might be one of the greatest of all time. So, I look forward to it. As long as his boss lets him fight me, I think he’s counting on his boss stepping in and being like ‘Oh, sorry’ because he’s afraid to back down now.”

At the same time, Nic Nemeth expressed confidence in his own position going into the match.

“I ain’t afraid of s**t, I don’t lose to anybody. I think I’m the best damn wrestler going today and then some. That’s me being humble. I look forward to this match, I look forward to kicking the s**t out of him, maybe breaking his leg and tapping him out if I have to.”

As of now, the match remains scheduled as announced, with no indication of changes to the lineup. The ongoing exchange between Nemeth and MJF has added attention to the event as it approaches.
