10 Wrestlers Who Don’t Need WWE Or AEW

10. EC3

WWE life was f*cking miserable for EC3.

Well, to clarify, main roster life was miserable. The dude went from having fun on NXT to wondering what Vince McMahon was smoking by instructing Alexa Bliss not to let him talk during a talk show segment on Raw. It's cool though, 'cause Carter has bounced back post-WWE.

He was released as part of mass cuts in April 2020, and really hasn't looked back. EC3 used ROH's platform (which wasn't under AEW's umbrella at that point) to realign himself, then launched the new Control Your Narrative venture and tried his hand at being a promoter.

In interviews, Carter rarely bites when asked if he'd fancy another crack in WWE. He's seemingly happy outside company walls, and hasn't shown much interest in calling up Tony Khan looking for work on Dynamite or Rampage either; EC3 is content as a free agent, and gets to do his own thing without unnecessary ribs from Vince or anyone else.
