Former Try Guys member Ned Fulmer made an unexpected return to the public spotlight on October 8, 2025, by stepping into the ring for his professional wrestling debut at an AEW Collision taping in Jacksonville, Florida. Wrestling under the moniker "Nasty Ned", Fulmer teamed up with Angelico and Serpentico of the Spanish Announce Project to face off against The Frat House—Griff Garrison, Cole Karter, and Jacked Jameson. The trio emerged victorious in what was described as a "bonus match," suggesting it may not be included in the official broadcast lineup.
This appearance marks Fulmer's first major public engagement since his departure from The Try Guys in 2022, following a widely publicized infidelity scandal. Since then, Fulmer has maintained a low profile, focusing on personal growth and healing. His recent reemergence includes the launch of a podcast titled Rock Bottom, where he delves into personal challenges and the journey toward redemption. In the debut episode, Fulmer and his estranged wife, Ariel, discuss the impact of the affair on their relationship and their ongoing efforts to co-parent their children.
The Jacksonville crowd's reaction to Fulmer's wrestling debut was mixed, with some fans expressing surprise and others voicing disapproval on social media platforms. Despite the varied responses, Fulmer's foray into professional wrestling signifies a bold step in his attempt to rebuild his public image and explore new avenues for personal expression.
As Fulmer continues to navigate his post-controversy career, his involvement in AEW may serve as a platform for both personal redemption and professional reinvention. Whether this marks the beginning of a new chapter in his career remains to be seen, but it undeniably adds an unexpected twist to his public narrative.
