I think he’s happy? Wednesday was a big day for WWE as they released or furloughed nearly forty employees. The company needed to make a business decision due to the impact of the Coronavirus slowing down their revenue streams and this was the decision they made. Some of the names included were more surprising than others, but one had an interesting reaction.

EC3 debuted in NXT back in 2018 and had a mediocre time. While he was a former Impact Wrestling World Champion, he never jumped to the top of the promotion or even made it close. However, he was brought up to the main roster in January 2019, only to be sat on the bench for the most part. While he had a few matches here and there, he was never given a significant match or angle. After being one of the large group of released wrestlers, he had a pretty unique reaction.

EC3 has posted a tweet saying that he is not interested in any interviews, podcast appearances or convention appearances at the moment. He says that for the first time in a long time, he controls the narrative now. There is no word on where EC3 will sign now that he has left WWE, but he will not be able to wrestle for a televised promotion until July 15 due to his no compete clause.

It was nice while it lasted. Check out some of EC3’s limited WWE highlights:

Opinion: This is one of the most confusing situations that I can remember in a long time. EC3 might not have been the greatest thing in the world but he’s in great shape, can talk, and has a resume. Even if he was horrible in the ring, and he certainly wasn’t, he should have gotten a few shots based on everything else. Whoever signs him is going to get a gem and will be lucky to have him.

What did you think of EC3? Where do you see him winding up? Let us know in the comments below.
