Nigel McGuinness: I’ve Been Thinking Of The Moment Of Walking Out At Wembley For Over A Year

On Sunday, Nigel McGuinness was one of the surprises in the AEW Casino Gauntlet at AEW All In 2024.

This marked his first match since retiring in 2011. He spoke about it after the bout.

“I did then. Not now. What you saw tonight was a long time coming. It had been 13 years since I was in the ring and 32 years since I was in this stadium and I first had that dream and epiphany that I was going to somehow become a professional wrestler. There was a good portion of life, after I retired 13 years ago, where I had to put that to bed. You get some things and you have to look at the positives. When I first found out that we were coming to Wembley and that was a possibility….what you saw tonight was only a short part of it. It’s been a year and a half that I’ve been thinking about that moment of walking out in front of my home crowd. It was surreal. I can’t believe it really happened. Show is over now. I shot my shot, it didn’t pay off, but I will take that memory for the rest of my life. You never know how life is going to work out. If anything it proves that there is always hope,” he said.
