With a few notable exceptions, AEW typically allows contracts to expire rather than releasing talents. And now, in an example of this, it has been reported by Fightful Select that EJ Nduka, who most recently was wrestling for ROH, has quietly departed the company. Whether he was offered a new deal and turned it down or was deemed surplus to requirements is unclear, although he hadn’t wrestled for any of Tony Khan’s promotions since January if you don’t include the Chris Jericho cruise.
Following a spell as a bodybuilder, 35-year-old Nduka, who played football in college, would sign with WWE. Due to his size and athleticism, it was therefore thought he would have a successful career in WWE, where he wrestled as Ezra Judge in NXT. However, he actually only worked a handful of house show matches before being released. Still, he didn’t give up on his pro wrestling dream and subsequently joined MLW, where he and Calvin Tankman won the promotions tag team championships.
