This isn’t the primary time JBL and Nemeth have interacted with one another. JBL, who made his first non-WWE look since 1995, accompanied Nemeth to his AAA Mega Championship match at Triplemanía XXXII: Mexico Metropolis towards Alberto El Patron earlier this month. Nemeth was unsuccessful in that match, dropping the title to Patron that night. Will probably be attention-grabbing to see the place JBL lands subsequent, and what comes from his look for TNA, particularly along with his earlier alliance with the world champion.
