NXT once again delivered on the same scale that we, the fans, are used to seeing. Philadelphia was the host city for one of the most exciting Takeover events to date.
During Takeover: Philly, we caught a quick glimpse of a few new, incoming NXT signees, including EC3. For those who are not aware, this won't be EC3's first go 'round with WWE's developmental system.
Back in 2009, EC3 was a member of the FCW roster but was known as Derrick Bateman. He would remain with the company through the revamping of FCW, as it changed over to NXT. EC3 stuck around until mid-2013, at which time he was released by the company.

About the author

Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
