EJ Nduka Says Wrestlers Were Sidelined Due to Vince McMahon’s Hush Money Scandal – EJ Nduka got people talking after sending out several tweets about his gratitude for AEW, ROH, and his time in WWE.
Nduka was let go by WWE during the April 2020 cuts at the start of the pandemic before going to MLW and is now working in AEW as a tag team with Lee Johnson. The AEW star retweeted a video sent out by former AEW World Heavyweight Champion Swerve Strickland, who was comparing the struggles experienced by Black football players to be compensated the fairly, as shown in the new documentary “Black Quarterback.”
Strickland said, “We’re still having the same conversations” and that he’s grateful to be in AEW because they’re “shaking the foundation.” Nduka shared the following thread:
“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”

Told to sign an NDA and never say “I wasn’t given an opportunity” because I would black ball myself. Fast forward 3 years later I don’t give a damn. Yall left my family and I stranded during the pandemic and we almost lost our house.. I get my mouth shut and head down
