Though 30-year old E.J Nduka left the CFL's Toronto Argonauts before playing a game (he was signed in February 2013 and got cut that May), the big man did eventually manage to carve out a career for himself in the Arena Football League. That experience was interspersed with his keen interest in bodybuilding.

This dude is one to watch. He's in amazing shape.

Triple H, a former bodybuilder himself, will be impressed by how disciplined Nduka has been. His work in the Classic Physique division has earned him first place finishes in the BetterBodies Championships, Ronnie Coleman Classic and both the Jr Nationals and Jr USA competitions. One can imagine Triple H's palms getting sweaty at this.

WWE have a good track record of taking athletes from other sports and moulding them into solid-great pro wrestlers. Kurt Angle and Brock Lesnar spring to mind there. If E.J even has 1% of the career those guys did, then he'll find a place on the roster.
