Nic Nemeth Returns as Mystery Opponent in “Last Time is Now” Tournament Nic Nemeth, known to WWE fans as Dolph Ziggler, made a return to Monday Night Raw as the final surprise entrant in the “Last Time is Now” tournament. Nemeth was revealed as the mystery opponent for Solo Sikoa, answering the question that had been teased since the tournament was announced on November 1st. The appearance marked a major moment for the former World Heavyweight Champion, who faced off against The Bloodline’s enforcer in a high-stakes first-round matchup at Madison Square Garden. Keeping the Secret Speaking on Busted Open Radio following his return, Nemeth revealed the lengths he went to in order to keep the appearance a surprise. When asked when he knew he would be part of the tournament, he admitted the deal had been in place for weeks. “Two, three weeks, perhaps,” Nemeth said. “There is a handful of surprises and big moments that everybody remembers. I didn’t tell my parents. I told my brother. ‘If anybody finds out, I’ll know you told them because I told nobody else.’” Nemeth even kept his close friends and former colleagues in the dark. “I’m in a group chat with Bobby Roode, Zack Ryder, and Brian Myers. I didn’t say anything. Me and Zack didn’t say anything. He said nothing,” Nemeth shared. He also noted that he had to play coy during recent public appearances. “A couple interviews at The Big Event, they were like, ‘Are you wrestling on Monday at the Garden?’ ‘Pshhh, I wish. That would be cool. Cena’s last Raw.’”.
