6 WWE Superstars who desperately need a new gimmick

A new gimmick is the best option left for some of the Superstars

#4 EC3

EC3 had an impressive debut on the main roster. He was attacked by Dean Ambrose during his segment with Alexa Bliss which led to a match between the two. EC3 went on to beat Ambrose and won his first-ever match on the main roster.

Despite that start, EC3 found himself going nowhere near the right feuds. He was a part of Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania and then was one of the undercard stars who chased the 24/7 Championship.

EC3 has now spent enough time on the main roster to deserve a chance to prove himself. But he may not be able to do that with his current gimmick. Having seen him reduced to being an extra during backstage segments makes it hard for the audience to take him as a serious threat.

Hence, WWE need to twist his character if at all they want a future for him on the main roster. He may not get the push but at least if he is used time and again, he will someday find a way to convince the creative team that he can offer more than his current character.
