News Summary
EJ Nduka becomes a free agent after a stint with AEW, sparking speculation about his future in wrestling.
The Next Chapter for Wrestling Sensation EJ Nduka
In an exciting twist for wrestling fans, former AEW star _EJ Nduka_ has become a free agent after his contract with the promotion expired on May 2, 2025. This development comes after a bustling tenure with All Elite Wrestling, where Nduka displayed his potential but wrestled primarily in the shadows.
A Journey Worth Noting
Before joining AEW in early 2023, Nduka had a diverse athletic background. A former collegiate football player, he went undrafted in the NFL and explored professional football in the Indoor Football League, even taking a brief stint with the Toronto Argonauts in the Canadian Football League. It was not until after he had transitioned from bodybuilding that he entered the realm of professional wrestling.
Initially signed by _WWE_ in 2019, Nduka’s time in the promotion was underwhelming as he never made it onto television. Following his release in May 2021, he joined _MLW_, where he found some success, forming a team with _Calvin Tankman_. His eventual signing with AEW looked to be a fresh start and an opportunity to demonstrate his abilities.
A Mixed Bag of Matches
During his tenure with AEW, Nduka participated in a total of 14 matches, with eight of these being under the _Ring of Honor_ banner. Fans got a glimpse of his capabilities in various dark matches and even made a notable appearance on the _Jericho Cruise_ back in February 2025. However, the culmination of these efforts led to his last match in January 2025, just prior to his contract expiration.
Criticism and Social Engagement
After parting ways with AEW, Nduka took to social media to express his dissatisfaction with those who doubted his abilities. He conveyed that he was destined for greater things than merely “sitting on the sidelines.” In an interesting turn of phrase, he drew a metaphorical comparison regarding mesothelioma, driving home his point about not being confined to the bench.
The Flavor of Freedom and Future Prospects
Beyond the serious implications of his departure, Nduka also showcased an amusing personality, humorously referencing the new _Dragonfruit lemonade_ at Chick-fil-A and proclaiming his interest in matches utilizing multiple ropes. This lighthearted nature, coupled with his athletic prowess, positions him well for a fruitful wrestling career ahead.
Possibilities Ahead
With his AEW contract now expired, the wrestling community is abuzz with speculation regarding where Nduka will land next. Multiple promotions are actively showing interest, and he has teased the possibility of reinventing his character. Additionally, his involvement with _Booker T’s Reality of Wrestling_ could provide a platform for him to showcase his talents and engage with fans in new and exhilarating ways.
A Promising Future
The landscape of professional wrestling is often unpredictable, and with Nduka’s background and tenacity, he is undoubtedly a wrestler to keep an eye on. Whether he returns to WWE, explores opportunities in _MLW_ or ventures to unexplored promotions, the wrestling world waits with bated breath to see how the story unfolds for this dynamic athlete.
