EJ Nduka is no longer a free agent, and hasn’t been for quite some time.
The former WWE and MLW talent became a free agent at the start of 2023, when he amicably left Major League Wrestling upon his contract expiring.
Fightful has learned that Nduka has signed with All Elite Wrestling after making his company debut back in January, facing Konosuke Takeshita. Nduka hasn't been in the ring since then, but was seen around WrestleMania weekend festivities. We're told he's been under some sort of AEW deal for quite a while.
Fightful had reported that Nduka had interest from WWE, as well as companies in Mexico and Japan. However, we're told that when James Kimball was fired from WWE, that a lot of the possible hires he was looking at weren't followed up on. AEW was immediately interested in Nduka upon his debut.
We haven’t confirmed the level of his deal with All Elite Wrestling.
