New Horizons for EJ Nduka as AEW Contract Expires
In a surprising turn of events, professional wrestler EJ Nduka’s contract with All Elite Wrestling (AEW) has officially expired as of May 3, 2025. His exit from the promotion comes not as a result of a release but due to the natural conclusion of his contractual obligations. The recent development has brought forth a wave of speculation regarding Nduka’s next move in the wrestling world.
A Brief Stint in AEW
Nduka, who joined AEW in early 2023, made minimal appearances on the main programming, often competing in dark matches prior to televised events. Despite the limited exposure, his talents were on display, showcasing his wrestling skills in front of the AEW audience. As the year progressed, fans began to see him more frequently as part of the Ring of Honor (ROH) brand, where he formed a tag team known as “LeeJ” alongside fellow wrestler Lee Johnson. This partnership demonstrated Nduka’s potential as a standout tag team competitor, winning over fans with their collaborative efforts.
Active Engagement in Wrestling
The end of 2024 saw Nduka become a more regular feature in ROH, where he participated in a total of fourteen matches throughout his time with AEW/ROH. His dedication to the sport is evident, transitioning from sporadic appearances to becoming part of a cohesive tag team. His last official bout for AEW occurred in February 2025 during the renowned Jericho Cruise, leaving fans eager for more as his exit approached.
Career Background and Early Attempts
Before stepping into the wrestling ring, Nduka had a colorful career with his roots in college football and a stint in the Indoor Football League. His athletic prowess landed him with the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League (CFL) in February 2013, but he was released a mere three months later. His journey took another leap when he signed with WWE in 2019; however, he faced disappointment when he was cut in May 2021.
Nduka’s entrance into the world of professional wrestling has made him a notable figure, marked by his involvement in bodybuilding as well. His accolades in the International Federation of Bodybuilding (IFFB) further build on his impressive physical credentials, making him formidable in the ring.
What Lies Ahead for Nduka?
Now, at the age of 35, Nduka finds himself as a free agent with several wrestling companies showing interest in signing him following his departure from AEW. His feeling regarding unfulfilled potential within the AEW structure has stirred discussions among fans and insiders alike. Many believe he still possesses a considerable amount of talent waiting to be utilized effectively. With this new chapter in his professional life, the question remains: where will Nduka land next?
As he embarks on this new journey, supporters anticipate exciting matches and collaborations that may finally allow him to display his full potential in the wrestling industry. The wrestling world is watching closely as EJ Nduka stands on the brink of new opportunities, ready to embrace the next phase of his career with vigor.
