10 Things WWE Can Do With TNA

2. Right Their Wrongs

WWE don’t always make the most of the talent at their disposal. It’s a sad fact that not everyone can make it to the main event, and not every superstar will have the opportunity to reach their full potential. Some are just destined to an eternity of mediocrity in WWE, and both the company and worker are better off cutting their losses and heading elsewhere.

Drew Galloway and Ethan Carter III are perfect examples of this. Both men were grossly underused in WWE, but have absolutely blossomed in TNA (and on the independent circuit, in Galloway’s case). They were listless presences in WWE by the time of their release, but have since gone on to show the world exactly what they’re capable of, and they’ve become two of the most engrossing performers in the sport regardless of who they work for.

Should they acquire TNA, WWE have the opportunity to right the wrongs of the past and feature these workers at a level merited by their talents. Both Drew and EC3 could be immediately thrusted into a prominent upper-midcard position on Raw or SmackDown and not look out of place, and it’d be no less than what they deserve. Neither man was given much of an opportunity to succeed in their first run with the company, but a strong second spell would quickly lay that to rest.
