2. A Limp Debut

We’re getting close to safely calling EC3’s main roster introduction a total dud.

Since he first showed up on the main roster, EC3 has literally not said a word. He’s posed and flexed, and he’s started to say something, but he always seems to get cut off. We saw this on display Monday night as a joke, with Nia Jax and Dean Ambrose cutting him off as he tried to answer Alexa Bliss. It was “funny,” right? Right???

Worse, EC3’s debut match against Ambrose was brief, heatless and ended with a quick jackknife cover, which only made the Top 1%er look lucky rather than good, considering the match had nothing to it.

Seriously, could WWE have handled this debut much worse? Just awful stuff.
