How many of us remember that Derrick Bateman character in NXT? Of course, you do. For whatever reason, WWE creative just couldn't figure out exactly what to do with this guy and while it's impossible to foresee the future, I have no doubt that someone regrets letting this one get away.
Since being released from his WWE contract in 2013, Carter has been on a complete tear. Ethan has indeed found his groove and rode it to the very top. Ever since the birth of "Team Dixie," he has taken the initiative that he's the man and if anyone else wants to be at the top, they must go through EC3.
Carter has a new found sense of swagger and charisma, to accompany his great fundamental skill-set. He's ready, right away to take an upper-mid card role with the WWE and would be a very valuable addition to either Raw or Smackdown.

Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
