Former WWE star E.J. Nduka reveals his dream opponents
Former WWE star E.J. Nduka, who recently signed with All Elite Wrestling has revealed his dream opponents in the wrestling industry.
Speaking on the Public Enemy Podcast's Behind Enemy Lines, Nduka expressed his admiration for current Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns, calling him his "number one" dream opponent.
“Number one, and this is recently, I would definitely like to go with Roman Reigns, no question. I think he’s one of the best storytellers in the game. I just like the energy he brings. He’s the dominant wrestler right now in our industry, and he’s just incredible. I’d like to share the ring with him. Number two is easily Ricochet. I think he’s the best in-ring performer of our time," Nduka said.
As Nduka embarks on this new chapter in AEW and strives to face his dream opponents, fans eagerly anticipate the potential matches and storylines that may unfold. It remains to be seen whether he will be a part of the new AEW Collision show, which will premiere on June 17.
