and the absorption of the soul?

That's iffy for me. While not listed as an ability for the Nazgul, I would think that their souls (which is pretty much all they are by now, undead shadows of their former selves, forced to serve Sauron) wouldn't be so easily absorbed. Right now, yeah that might be how Dementor wins, but given that LOTR profiles are pretty... not finished... I don't really know how the battle would go.

Dementors seem to only be capable of consistently pulling off a soul absorption against incapacitated targets, such as unconscious or restrained ones, since they didn't just French kiss Sirius as their opening move and only went in for it once he fell unconscious from being worn down by them. Needless to say a Nazgûl isn't just gonna let it happen, and I doubt they're gonna be incapped by a Dementor, either. Even if that did happen, they may not even be capable of absorbing the Nazgûl's soul, be it due to generally verse-wide soul manip resistance in the Legendarium, or due to Sauron already calling dibs on theirs. Neither is harming the other with brute force, either. Voting incon

In the original series of novels, we really weren't shown how Dementors just take and suck the soul out of wizards just by walking up to them. But I remember that in part 4, the Dementor consumed the soul of Barty Crouch Jr. when he was conscious. And in the Cursed Child, the Dementors sucked the souls out of the wizards who fought them off (I don't remember exactly who was there, but like Snape and someone else)

Iirc he was restrained, it was basically an impromptu semi-execution. Hence why I added "restrained" as an example of incap that Dementors take advantage of. As for Sirius, the scene in the movie where the Dementors try to take his soul is essentially 1:1 with the book

The Nazgul's soul is indestructible due to verse-wide resistances, but that doesn't stop it from being removed from their body. Despite being invisible, the Nazgul are mostly still physical and don't seem to have ways of combating the immortality of the Dementors.
Soul-suck won't happen for stated reasons + you'd need to overcome Sauron's control of their soul to mess with it and that's... not happening here.
Inconv vote from me. Two hooded dudes just kinda failing to hurt each other.
