8 Former Midcarders Who Could Returns As WWE Main Eventers In 2016

7. Ezekiel Jackson

Ah yes, Ezekiel Jackson's legendary Intercontinental Championship run that never was... To be fair to 'Zeke, he did very well to hold the prestigious title (as well as being officially recognised as the last ever ECW World Champion), considering his ability level and the fact that he was over about as much as fungus is during his time in the E. Jackson worked for the company between 2007 and April of last year, when he left following a prolonged spell on the sidelines due to injuries. A post-WWE run in TNA did not prove fruitful, but Ezekiel Jackson did find success as one of the cast members of the ground-breaking first season of Lucha Underground. As the cigar-smoking, eyepatch-wearing Big Ryck, Jackson was pushed hard in the company and presented as a big deal. Pleasantly, his character and in-ring work showed significant improvement, too. At 37-years-old and with the stench of a very disappointing run lingering around him, WWE probably won't be breaking their necks to give Jackson a call. But he has declined to participate in the second season of Lucha Underground and he still has a very impressive physique and a presence about him, so it wouldn't be that surprising to see him receive a second chance An older, less athletic Apollo Crews? Perhaps, but Jackson/Ryck
