AEW’s Internal Reaction to EJ Nduka’s Twitter Outburst Revealed

EJ Nduka parted ways with AEW after his contract expired last week but he decided to go on a rant against his former employer on social media. With that in mind, AEW’s internal reaction to Nduka’s outburst has been revealed.

While speaking on Fightful Select’s Q&A podcast, Sean Ross Sapp was asked about AEW’s internal reaction to EJ Nduka going scorched earth on AEW. Sapp noted that he didn’t hear a single thing about it in AEW, saying, “I didn’t hear a word about it.” This made it clear AEW really didn’t care what Nduka had to say at all.

This comes after EJ Nduka went on a scathing rant on Twitter following his exit from AEW. He said he was never meant to sit on the sidelines, adding that benches are for people who aren’t sure of themselves.

Nduka stated that he’s ready to move forward. Nduka ended his post with a massive statement, saying that anyone who thinks he was meant to “ride the bench” should call the 1-800 number because they must have mesothelioma, calling them a “pencil neck reject.”

“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.”

Nduka didn’t just stop there as he threw more shade at AEW as he stated that AEW simply didn’t know what to do with him, as he compared himself to gold, saying, “Some people don’t know what to do with Gold even if you hand it to them.”

EJ Nduka signed with AEW in early 2023 but didn’t get much time on screen. He did team up with Lee Johnson in ROH as the tag team “LeeJ.” Before AEW, he wrestled in WWE’s NXT as Ezra Judge and later made a name for himself in MLW. Nonetheless, we’ll have to wait and see what’s next in store for Nduka, as fans felt he should’ve had a better run in Tony Khan’s company.
