EJ Nduka is a hot free agent, having wrapped up with MLW this past January. Several companies are reportedly interested in Nduka and AEW had offered him a contract following a Dark taping last month.
Fightful Select reports that Nduka is currently “evaluating his options” and has had some contact with WWE, although the extent of that contact remains unclear. James Kimball’s sudden release from WWE has caused the billion-dollar company to modify its way of reaching out to talent, as he was said to be an expert in that field.
Nduka has heavy interest from Mexico and Japan, and one Mexican promotion has reportedly offered him a contract.
