Former WWE Superstar EC3 spoke with Insight With Chris Van Vliet and discussed his departure from the company in 2020. EC3 had been feuding with Dean Ambrose (Jon Moxley), including a series of live event matches. EC3 was playing the babyface while Ambrose was the heel, but the fans were reacting oppositely.

I get the thinking from EC3 and Ambrose but they kind of had to know how this was going to go.
