MJF and Nic Nemeth are no longer just trading shots — they’re officially stepping into the ring very soon.

After weeks of trash talk and a cross-promotional challenge aimed at Nic Nemeth, the situation has now turned into a confirmed showdown. On March 26, 2026, Brian Myers took to Twitter to announce that both sides have agreed to settle things in the ring.

“I’ve talked to both parties involved and they’ve mutually agreed to settle this. Not many dream matches left out there in professional wrestling. But, this is certainly one of them… @CreateAPro Wrestling is proud to officially announce: May 1st, Melville, New York @The_MJF vs @NicTNemeth Tickets on sale NOW.”

The match will take place at Create-A-Pro Wrestling’s Monumental Moment event on May 1 in Melville, New York — turning what started as a radio call-out into one of the most unexpected matchups of the year.

This all traces back to MJF’s appearance on Busted Open Radio, where he fired shots at Nemeth and dared him to step up. Nemeth didn’t back down, and now that exchange has escalated into a real booking outside both AEW and TNA. The significance here goes beyond just one match.

Fans will get the reigning AEW World Champion stepping into an independent promotion to face a top TNA name — a rare crossover moment that blurs promotional lines without needing a full “forbidden door” event. And based on how this came together, it’s clear this wasn’t just hype — both sides wanted it, and now it’s locked in. With the date set and tickets already on sale, what started as talk has officially become one of the most intriguing non-WWE matches on the calendar.

Do you think MJF vs. Nic Nemeth lives up to the “dream match” label, or is this just hype that won’t deliver in the ring? Drop your thoughts and feedback below.
