There is history between EC3 and Carter stemming from his stint in TNA Wrestling, now known as Impact Wrestling. Once EC3 departed from the WWE around 2013, TNA hired him and brought him into the storylines as Dixie’s nephew, Ethan Carter III. Moving along to January of this year, WWE signed EC3 after he had a successful run in TNA and placed him in NXT. The only change to his character was shortening his name.
