Wrestling’s world traveler, Nic Nemeth, has just added another illustrious notch to his championship belt, capturing the AAA Mega Championship at Triplemania XXXII in Monterrey. In a thrilling showdown, Nemeth squared off against Alberto El Patron for the coveted title that was left vacant following El Hijo Del Vikingo’s unfortunate knee surgery.
Nemeth, who is no stranger to championship gold, currently reigns as the IWGP Global Heavyweight Champion over in New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW). His victory in AAA is particularly spicy, given NJPW’s cozy partnership with CMLL, AAA’s arch-rival. This wrestling soap opera gets even more tangled with AEW thrown into the mix, struggling to juggle partnerships and talent contracts across these battling promotions.
Despite the behind-the-scenes drama, Nemeth’s win at Triplemania marks a significant milestone in his post-WWE career, which took a new turn after his release in September 2023. Post-WWE, and after a brief stint in TNA, Nemeth made waves in NJPW by dethroning David Finlay to become the IWGP Global Heavyweight Champion, a title birthed from the ashes of the retired IWGP United States, and briefly, United Kingdom Heavyweight Championships.
With his latest triumph, Nemeth continues to defy borders and promotional feuds, weaving a narrative that is as compelling as any wrestling storyline. How this cross-promotion saga will affect future events remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: Nic Nemeth is not just a player in the game; he’s setting the board.
