5 Former TNA/NWA World Champions who are now chasing the 24/7 Title

Throughout the course of its history, TNA has been known to sign ex-WWE Superstars and make them the face of the company. With well-established names such as Kurt Angle and Jeff Hardy, it was an easy task.

However, the fact that they took Derrick Bateman from WWE (an enhancement talent) and made him one of the company's most charismatic and successful Superstars is beyond imaginable. He was renamed EC3 and right from the get-go, he was put in prominent story-lines. He remained unpinned for multiple months and easily became one of the most credible heels of that time. He is also a former 2-time TNA World Champion.

He resigned with WWE last year and so far, things haven't been going well for the Top One Percenter. His NXT run was quite forgettable, and after a lackluster feud with Dean Ambrose earlier this year, WWE seemingly gave up on him. He is now a prominent part of the 24/7 Title hunt squad and also managed to get one short-lived reign under his belt.
