5 opponents we'd like to see EC3 face in NXT

#2 Adam Cole

How would these to incredibly brash and confident competitors do against one another?

There was never a matchup featuring two characters that exuded so much confidence, bordering on arrogance, like a battle between EC3 and Adam Cole. A confrontation between these two would be unique because, as it stands, Cole has the support of both Kyle O'Reilly and Bobby Fish, whereas EC3 walks alone.

However, that doesn't mean he would have to go it alone with Cole; as many will recall EC3 would often have support when he was in Impact Wrestling, with either Tyrus or Rockstar Spud often taking a bullet for him.

They could easily play on Carter's past in NXT, and how unlike Cole, he was kicked out because he wasn't good enough. However, Carter could counter that by making reference to Cole's failed attempts to break into WWE in several tryouts.

The feud could get very personal, and ego may be the entire basis, showing fans just how dangerous they can be. It would also be a battle of size and strength, facing striking ability and technical prowess.
