Nic Nemeth praises Solo Sikoa's evolution after his return to WWE RAW

Nic Nemeth returned to WWE RAW this week, reclaiming his identity as Dolph Ziggler to compete in the tournament that will determine John Cena's final opponent. Two years after his last match in the company, Nemeth stepped back into the ring to face Solo Sikoa, although he ended up being defeated in his comeback.

However, far from lamenting, Nemeth praised Sikoa during his appearance on Busted Open Radio. According to the former champion, the evolution of the Anoa'i family member is more than evident.

Solo was easy, that guy was already good when I left and now he's ten times better. He was already good, but he's on his way to being really good.

Nemeth was released from WWE in September 2023, closing nearly two decades of his tenure in the company. His move to TNA Wrestling came in 2024, where he quickly established himself as one of the mainstays in the locker room and captured both the TNA World Championship and the TNA World Tag Team Championship alongside his brother Ryan Nemeth.

His return to RAW as Ziggler may be temporary, but his comments make it clear that Nemeth is still attentive to the evolution of talent in the new generation... and Solo Sikoa is one of the names that has impressed him the most in this new stage.
