2 Former WWE Stars Debut At TNA Hard To Kill 2024
A former WWE Champion arrived at TNA Hard to Kill.
With IMPACT Wrestling having now formally rebranded as TNA Wrestling with last night's Hard to Kill, that PPV also ushered in the TNA debut of two notable ex-WWE names. Those two names? That'd be the former Dolph Ziggler and Dana Brooke.
Dana was the first of this duo to appear, now going by the name Ash by Elegance and sitting in the front row as Trinity lost the Knockouts Championship to Jordynne Grace. Hard to Kill had previously teased a mystery female talent arriving in a limousine, and that would indeed prove to be the 15-time WWE 24/7 Champion.

As for Nic Nemeth, fka Dolph Ziggler, he would make his presence known after the conclusion of the main event. Said main event saw Moose dethrone Alex Shelley to become the new TNA World Champion, and Nemeth would hit the ring to nail Moose with a superkick and a Zig-Zag. The two-time WWE World Heavyweight Champion would then rip off his shirt to reveal a TNA Wrestling tee.

Heading in to Hard to Kill, TNA had promoted their biggest signing ever. While it hasn't been outright confirmed that he's penned a deal with TNA, it looks like Nic Nemeth could well be that signee.
TNA has since revealed their first Nic Nemeth t-shirt and also announced that Nemeth will be making his company in-ring debut against Zachary Wentz at today's Snake Eyes taping.
