10 More WWE Wrestlers Who Will Soon Be All Elite

5. EC3

AEW Shinsuke Nakamura
WWE

Remember him? EC3’s WWE run has been utterly bizarre. He was quite hot in NXT, being involved in feuds with the likes of Velveteen Dream and being allowed to shine on the mic. Then he was called up to the main roster as part of a hastily put together batch. And after that, someone decided his whole thing should be he doesn’t get to talk. It was like clipping a bird’s wings.

At first it still appeared like there were plans put in place for him. He even got to trade wins with Dean Ambrose. However it all went downhill very soon. He was hardly on TV aside from a few 24/7 Title skits and then disappeared altogether.

Subsequently, rumors have been circulating that people backstage are pissed off at him, hence his dismal state. But we still shouldn’t forget that this is a man with considerable charisma and talent. And if given the opportunity, he can shine. He is almost certain to leave WWE when his contract expires, and AEW may well be the place for him.
