WWE Black Wednesday Releases 5 Years Later - Where Are They Now?

EC3 was considered a real missed opportunity when Vince McMahon binned his admittedly-crummy main roster role in April 2020. NXT success didn't translate on Raw or SmackDown for Carter, which was a shame. He'd go on to run some shows himself under the Control Your Narrative banner, then settled into a groove for both OVW and the NWA.

World Title runs in both groups followed. EC3 was OVW Champ for 472 days between November 2023-January 2025, and he held the classic NWA belt for 370 days between August 2023-August 2024. The 41 year old deserves one more stab at a major promotion, but he seems happy enough doing his own thing.
