Figure out what his weakness is. Nimrod's whole thing was discerning weaknesses and exploiting them. He couldn't hurt Cain physically so he knocked his helmet off and used sonics to disrupt the signals from his brain to his body.
He'll find out what Hulk's weakness is and exploit that too. And Hulk couldn't really damage him beyond what he can repair anyway.

And more pertinently, when someone with an adaptation power (Darwin) couldn't adapt to Hulk and had to self-bfr.
I don't think reactive powers are any more open than regular powers... unless you think that his capacity to discern weakness is infinite...

To play devils advocate...
The whole premise of Nimrods powerset is its ability to scan his target for weaknesses and come up with a lethal solution for dealing with said foe...
And while there is surely a limit to its power, Nimrod did overcome the direct enchantment of an Elder God...so the ceiling of his power is quite high as a result.

And so, if the placing of Nimrod hinges just on a feat against Juggernaut alone, then it's not in and of itself good enough to swing things his way.
Further, to make the same argument for Hulk, his power-set is pretty much to be stronger than his opponent and overpower whatever obstacle is placed in his way, be it physical or mystical or even a cosmological constant (the Time Stream for example). And he has managed to use that power to physically contain nexus energies (from two universes) without injury, to provide a doorway between universes, to withstand the collapse and reformation of a dimension... these feats are pretty high and would place the bar for harming Hulk (especially in a lethal manner) very high up indeed.

Devils Advocate mode again...
Nimrod can reconstruct from powder; how does WBH keep Nimrod down?
Keep in mind that not only will Nimrod reconstruct, but it will reconstruct with an adaptation against the attack that put it down initially...

^ How would it have any such knowledge if it wasn't actually in the Dark Dimension when the Hulk went all post apocalyptic? If I'm not mistaken one fall equals a loss or a win depending on which side of the fence the opponents are standing on. WB Hulk turns Nimrod into scrap, game over.
Nimrod can reconstruct from powder; being beaten into "scrap" isnt going to stop it for long, and once again, Nimrod will reconstruct with an adaptation against brute force...
What can WBH do at that point that will permanently destroy Nimrod?
