WWE RAW: 3 big backstage rumors that could have a major impact on tonight's show (2nd December)

#1 EC3 will not be returning anytime soon

Former 24/7 Champion EC3 has not been seen in action for a long time now, and unfortunately, it is unlikely that we will see him in the foreseeable future.

Dave Meltzer of WON has revealed that the reason behind EC3's absence is a concussion he suffered in September. EC3 was last seen on RAW in September in a match against Rusev, which saw the former Impact Wrestling World Champion get defeated by the Bulgarian Brute.

It is clear that the company does not have any major plans for EC3 as he has barely been utilised ever since being called up to the main roster from NXT. Many fans had hoped that Carter would be sent to NXT during this year's WWE Draft but instead, the company chose to keep EC3 on the RAW roster.

Carter has been very active on social media, expressing his displeasure at the way WWE has chosen to use him. We certainly hope that big things are in store for him when he returns; unfortunately, that return won't be this week.
