Should IMPACT Wrestling prepare for trouble or is EC3 just stirring the pot?
The end of the June 2, 2020 episode of IMPACT Wrestling featured a teaser video centered around all of the released names who were formerly WWE Superstars up until Wednesday, April 15, 2020. Many of these names formerly wrestled in IMPACT such as Brian Myers, Mike Bennett, Luke Gallows, and EC3, formerly known as Ethan Carter III.

More than most of the names featured in the video, EC3 was a cornerstone player for IMPACT during his time with the promotion. Initially coming in as the nephew of the then president of TNA Wrestling, Dixie Carter, EC3 found a niche and soon became one of the most sought-after main event wrestlers outside of WWE. He would eventually find his way back to WWE, through the NXT brand where he competed in the Stellar ladder match to crown the first-ever NXT North American Champion.
Now, on Twitter, EC3 has responded to IMPACT’s teaser video, noting that the video he has put out is clickbait.
New world.
My rules.
Nostalgia is dead.
Click Bait.
