#2 EC3

Surely EC3 is destined for more than posing in front of a mirror backstage?

Of all the rumored call-ups revealed by WWE a month ago, EC3's call-up has been the most disappointing due to the lack of exposure he's received.

He has the most potential of all of the call-ups but has been relegated to brief appearances backstage. In one, he simply stood outside of Mr. McMahon's office and in the other, he was simply posing in front of a mirror for like five seconds.

Since everyone else has at least had mic time or a match, what's the deal with the lack of time for EC3 on both Raw and SmackDown?

It was cool to see Aleister Black and Johnny Gargano in the match, but they had showcase matches the night before at NXT Takeover: Phoenix. And since Gargano is now a champion, surely his spot could have gone elsewhere?

EC3 needed a meaningful debut on the main roster and so far, WWE has wasted him. Lacey Evans and Nikki Cross were both in the women's Rumble match. Maybe there is some master plan with EC3 or maybe there is not. He is probably more well known by casual wrestling fans due to his time in Impact.

But whatever the case may be, it just seems weird to have so much screen time for the other call-ups and five seconds for EC3.
