#4 EC3

Could we see a top one percent surprise?

Another impending NXT call-up is EC3. He was one of five acts, including Lars Sullivan, who has been announced to be making their main roster debuts soon. The former Impact Superstar seems to be tailor-made for the main roster.

His in-ring skills are decent, while his physique and character work make him stand out. Some might even say that he is in the Top One Percent. EC3 may not have worked well enough down at Full Sail, but the main roster is where he will likely showcase his skills.

Like Sullivan, a debut in the Royal Rumble match for EC3 could be huge for him. A strong showing would go a long way in introducing or reintroducing EC3 to the WWE audience.

The former Derrick Bateman had a disappointing run in the original NXT and will have a point to prove. Whichever show he ends up on - hopefully SmackDown - EC3 will likely flourish. Again, this would be a great NXT surprise and the perfect way to bring him up.
