EJ Nduka’s contract with AEW and Ring of Honor reportedly recently expired and he is currently a free agent, according to Fightful Select.

It was reported that multiple companies are currently interested in signing Nduka to a potential deal.

Following Fightful’s report, Nduka confirmed his departure on Twitter stating that he was never meant to sit or ride the bench and how it was time for him to move on for his wrestling career.

I was never meant to sit. Benches were made for the unsure.

I’ve heard the call now it’s time to move.

If you think this guy was made to ride the bench you need to call the 1800 number cause you suffer from mesothelioma you pencil neck reject.
