Ex-WWE Superstar EJ Nduka Claims He Reminded Triple H Of The Rock
EJ Nduka
EJ Nduka didn’t make it far in the world of WWE, but he did leave the promotion with some huge praise from Triple H; Thomas Lowson writes for EWRESTLINGNEWS.
Nduka received a tryout with WWE in December 2018 and was signed in August 2019, but was released from the promotion in May 2021.
Speaking to Grapsody, Nduka said he was inspired by The Rock and received a major compliment from WWE’s King of Kings during a commercial shoot.
He said, “Hunter said to me one day, I was shooting a commercial, it was a pilot for FOX, we were in Tampa, and everyone was up there; Stephanie (McMahon), Hunter [Triple H], Vince (McMahon), I’m in the ring, we’re sharing stories and talking about what we’re going to do for the commercial. I’m chopping it up with H, and he said, ‘You remind me a lot of DJ [Dwayne Johnson].’
“I’m having the conversation, and I’m just enamored being able to talk to H because talking to Hunter is big. Midway through the conversation, it clicked with me, ‘He said DJ; he’s talking about Dwayne.’ He goes, ‘The moniker he has, the hardest worker in the room, I always hear that when your name gets brought up.”
Nduka is currently in his first reign as an MLW World Tag Team Champion, a title he has held since April of this year with Calvin Tankman.
