He was recently interviewed by Fightful's Sean Ross Sapp in an edition of Grapsody Reviews. During the interview, Nduka mentioned that Triple H compared him to The Rock during an advertising shoot at the Performance Center.&quot;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 just to be able to talk to Hunter is big. Midway through the conversation, it clicked with me, 'He said DJ; he's talking about Dwayne,'&quot; E.J. Nduka said. (H/T Fightful)Nduka had a good run in MLW, but in WWE only had two matches and lost both.Would you like to see the MLW star back in AEW? Let us know in the comments section below.
