Ex-WWE Superstar wanted to face John Cena and Randy Orton before being released
Former WWE Superstar EC3 has revealed the reason for his comeback the company after his first release.
EC3 started his career with WWE in 2010 before getting released in 2013. However, the American athlete returned in 2018 and performed for two more years. He was once again let go by the promotion in 2020.
The former 24/7 Champion spoke as a guest on The Ringer Wrestling Podcast and explained that he only came back to wrestle Randy Orton and John Cena. He also admitted to being impressed by a promo between Roman Reigns and Cena.
“I would have loved to be in the ring with John Cena and Randy Orton,'' said EC3. ''That’s the only reason I came back. Because I remember seeing that promo between Roman and Cena before Cena left for a good while. I remember, I knew how John worked, he’s very much in the moment. They’re not writing for him. Speaking from here, I’m like, ‘God, if this was me, it would be, this would be electric,’ because I kind of work the same way.'' (H/T - Wrestling Inc.)
