EJ Nduka is no longer a free agent, according to a new report.
Nduka has not wrestled since the January 28 AEW Dark taping, which marked his AEW debut with the company. He wrapped up with Major League Wrestling at the MLW Blood & Thunder tapings on January 7, where he and Calvin Tankman lost the MLW World Tag Team Championship to Juicy Finau & Lance Anoa’i.
Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select reports that Nduka signed with AEW after he made his debut at the Dark tapings. Though he hasn’t been used, he has been under some sort of deal with AEW, though the specific type of unclear.
When he entered free agency, Fightful reported that Nduka had interest from WWE and other promotions around the world. However, after James Kimball was fired from WWE, a lot of the talent on his radar wasn’t signed.
Nduka previously came up in the WWE system; the former football player signed with the company in 2019 and started training at the WWE Performance Center. He was released in May 2021, and Nduka then signed with MLW.
WrestleZone will provide more information as it becomes available.
