AEW star Ryan Nemeth was recently involved in a backstage controversy which resulted in the company sending him home. Dolph Ziggler, who is the brother of Ryan Nemeth, showed support for him by sending out a tweet.

Ryan Nemeth was a part of WWE's developmental, Ohio Valley Wrestling, and went on to make appearances for NXT for a year before his departure from the company. Ryan has been having a decent run with AEW however, a recent altercation with CM Punk could be a major drawback for his career.

During his first promo after his return, CM Punk took a shot at The Young Bucks, calling them " The Counterfeit Bucks," which did not sit well with Ryan Nemeth as he has a great relationship with The Young Bucks.

Ryan tweeted that CM Punk is the 'softest man alive' which caught the attention of Punk and led to backstage conversations between the two stars. Nemeth has also been sent home from Collision tapings due to this altercation.

Dolph Ziggler came in support of his brother and sent out a Tweet telling fans to appreciate The Hollywood Hunk.

"I can’t stand that scumbag, hunk but it is #HunkAppreciationDay so I will abide & “be a hunk” how are you celebrating ?#hunkappreciationday," tweeted Ziggler.
