10 Current TNA Wrestlers Who Could Make It Big In WWE

6. Ethan Carter III

The storyline nephew of TNA President Dixie Carter, Ethan Carter III (or, EC3) was primed to be the company's top heel since his debut, and he's achieved that goal. 

Carter has proven to be that almost perfect mix of slimy and cowardly, but also charismatic and vicious, bad guy - and he's now being lined up to face Kurt Angle for the TNA Heavyweight Title,  which many predict he'll walk away with. 

The thing is, Carter had a pretty long stint in WWE under the name Derrick Bateman, and though he was fairly popular wrestling on NXT and FCW at certain points, he never really built up any real steam. If he was to return now under a different name/gimmick, it's unlikely fans would accept him. 

But, this guy is undoubtedly a future TNA World Champion and is getting better every day - it could only be a matter of time before that call comes through.
