Fightful.com reported today that former MLW Tag Team Champion EJ Nduka has departed AEW and Ring of Honor as his contract has expired. Nduka had been put together in a tag team with Lee Johnson late last year in Ring of Honor but had quietly disappeared in recent weeks. As we noted in a Q&A several weeks ago, he was not injured and it was a creative direction.
Nduka took to Twitter today to confirm his exit, writing, "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."
There is no word as to Nduka's next move. Prior to his MLW and AEW runs, he was under a WWE developmental contract.
