EJ Nduka takes to social media to discuss his WWE release and why he is so grateful to be in AEW/ROH today.
EJ Nduka is currently mostly wrestling on Ring of Honor programming in a new tag team pairing with Lee Johnson. He was once part of the WWE NXT system under the ring name Ezra Judge. However, EJ was involved in the WWE releases that took place during the pandemic.
In a new series of tweets, Nduka responded to comments by Swerve Strickland about the difficulties of being a top star in wrestling as a black man. During the series of tweets, EJ Nduka references being released during the pandemic and being grateful for AEW's existence and the space it has provided for talents to continue honing their craft.
SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK. OTHER SIDE REFUSED TO GIVE US OPPORTUNITIES.. AND NOW LOOK THE CREAM ALWAYS RISES TO THE TOP. INDUSTRY SHAKERS.
Came into this industry from NFL AND IFBB. Where the hardest working person in the room at the very least gets an opportunity. I was first one to the ring every single day and last one to leave. Came to every extra ring. Tried to ask for HELP but NOTHING.
They pulled the rug from underneath my family and I and many other wrestlers cause he wanted to spend that money on hush money. As far as I am concerned yall can eat glass.
I wish one of yall would even debate what I’m saying cause I knew this day would come. I recorded ALL and have receipts. They even tried to pay me off and prevent me from coming to AEW for a WHOLE YEAR. They said “certain people don’t like admitting when they make a mistake”
A firm believer in WHAT EVER HAPPENS IN THE DARKNESS ALWAYS COMES TO THE LIGHT. Luke 8:17 I’m forever grateful to @aew @ringofhonor and the ENTIRE locker for building something from NOTHING. We are doing great things and if it never existed a lot of us would have disappeared
ID RATHER WORK FOR A BOSS WHO IS GENUINELY EXCITED FOR YOUR FUTURE & DEVELOPMENT. WHO waits at the end of the ramp for everyone to congratulate them instead of one who ignores you or buries you for trying to be different. YALL don’t even know half all you see is the end product
Nduka spoke with Sean Ross Sapp shortly after his WWE release. Fans can check out that full interview here.
