#4. EC3

The most recent addition to this list, this comes as a major surprise. EC3 is everything you would think that Vince McMahon loves in a superstar. He's not a top level in-ring worker on the level of AJ Styles or Seth Rollins, but he has everything that it takes to be a top star in WWE.

Not only does he have a great look, but he has a strong character and he's an absolutely incredible talker too. His time in Impact Wrestling showed that he has what it takes to be a top star and many believed that would happen when he arrived at WWE. He didn't spend too much time at NXT, simply because he didn't need to.

He was essentially ready, but instead of getting the rumoured push, he ended up getting outright buried instead. It was bizarre because WWE went out of their way to bury him like nobody else before.
