EJ Nduka wasblindsided by his WWE release back in 2021, but everything in WWE changed after Triple H took over as head of Creative. He would make his way to AEW last year but he clearly harbors ill feelings towards WWE as he has now gone on a scathing rant against his former employer.
EJ Nduka made his in-ring debut in AEW against Konosuke Takeshita on the January 28th, 2023 edition of AEW Dark. He was even offered acontract right after the matchdue to his performance and he is now directly working with Swerve Strickland in AEW.
Nduka was known as Ezra Judge in WWE and as noted above, he was released in 2021 during the pandemic. Nduka took to Twitter and openly criticized WWE following his release in 2021. He feels that WWE denied many wrestlers opportunities while he worked hard to establish himself in the wrestling industry, having come from the NFL and IFBB.
Nduka noted that he consistently showed up early and left late, yet felt overlooked when he sought help. He accused WWE of focusing on hush money instead of supporting their wrestlers and their families, suggesting that they abandoned him and others during a challenging time.
The AEW star also revealed that he was pressured to sign a non-disclosure agreement, preventing him from discussing his lack of opportunities, but he no longer feels bound by that. Nduka shared that he found success in MLW with just one match and is grateful for the chance to work with AEW and Tony Khan, which he believes has provided a valuable opportunity for his family and himself.
Despite facing challenges, he feels empowered to speak out and is committed to making a significant impact in the wrestling world, with the support of AEWs locker room. He reflected on the difficulties he faced during the pandemic when he was released just after his son was born, and he almost quit but was encouraged to continue by his wife and several top wrestlers.
EJ Nduka even diffused a real-life fight on a plane. Regardless, this is certainly a huge rant coming from the AEW star as he had been waiting to say all this for the past three years. Well have to see if WWE will issue any statement on his accusations, as it is clear his situation was a very serious one.
