Summary

Nic Nemeth says he is ready for his scheduled singles match with MJF at Create A Pro Wrestling's Monumental Moment event in May, but he believes MJF is hoping AEW President Tony Khan steps in and cancels it.

Nemeth said the two have traded shots online for months and framed his side as pushing MJF to reach a higher level, not backing off the fight. The bout remains set for CAP's May card.

Quote from Nic Nemeth

"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. I ain’t afraid of shit, 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 shit out of him, maybe breaking his leg and tapping him out if I have to."

What Nemeth's comments could mean for MJF before CAP Monumental Moment

Nemeth putting Tony Khan in the middle of this feud raises the stakes around whether MJF follows through on the match as announced, and that consequence directly affects the credibility of the months-long build between both men.

If the match does happen as planned, the public pressure from this latest round of comments gives CAP a stronger hook in the final stretch to May. Khan has also been in the headlines recently over AEW business direction, including his view that ROH's streaming revenue remains strong.
