Former WWE Superstar Invites AEW’s Mina Shirakawa for Waffle House Date

Nic Nemeth, formerly known as Dolph Ziggler, recently grabbed fans’ attention by inviting AEW star Mina Shirakawa for a Waffle House date. The playful exchange sparked excitement among fans, with some speculating about a potential connection between the two wrestling stars.

How It All Started

Mina Shirakawa, currently in the U.S. for AEW commitments, posted a photo from a Waffle House on her social media. Nic Nemeth, the reigning TNA World Champion, replied on X (formerly Twitter), suggesting a menu order. “Yessss! Now let’s get that all star special (smothered and covered) plus a pecan waffle, next time,” Nemeth wrote.

To fans’ delight, Shirakawa responded enthusiastically, saying, “Great!! Next time, let’s eat that menu together! Of course, it’s on you 😘,” adding a playful kiss emoji to seal the deal.

Timing Amid Big Title Matches

While this lighthearted banter has created buzz, both stars are set for crucial moments in their wrestling careers.

  • Nic Nemeth defends his TNA World Championship against AJ Francis at Final Resolution 2024.
  • Mina Shirakawa challenges her former ally, Mariah May, for the AEW Women’s World Championship at AEW Dynamite: Winter is Coming.

The exchange reflects the lighter side of these competitors’ lives as they prepare for high-stakes matches.

Fan Speculation and Reactions

The interaction has sparked speculation about whether the date will actually happen and if this is the start of a new friendship or even a budding romance. While neither star has confirmed anything beyond the exchange, fans are loving the cross-promotion fun between TNA and AEW.

Will This Happen?

Whether or not the Waffle House meetup occurs, the friendly interaction shows the camaraderie and humor that wrestling stars share behind the scenes. Fans will be eagerly watching to see if this banter develops into something more.
