EJ Nduka does have a standing contract offer, but that doesn't seem to be his only option.
Fightful Select reported in early January that Nduka's deal with Major League Wrestling was up as the calendar rolled over into 2023. Wrestling Observer reported several weeks ago that following Nduka's appearance with All Elite Wrestling that a deal was offered by the promotion. We've been able to confirm that was the case, but not that the deal was accepted by Nduka. Instead, we've heard that he's been evaluating his options.
Part of that evaluation has involved some contact with WWE, but we haven't heard of what the extent of that contact is or was. James Kimball, who was helpful in reaching out to some prospects, was let go from the company and caused some adjustments to that aspect of things.
In addition, we're told there has been heavy interest out of Mexico and Japan, with one Mexican company offering a contract. There are no plans for him to return to MLW at this time, but we're told that they still maintain an amicable relationship
