SPOTTED AT THE WWE PERFORMANCE CENTER THIS WEEK WAS...
by Mike Johnson @ 9:49 AM on 1/18/2018

Former Impact Wrestling champion EC3 was at the WWE Performance Center this past Tuesday.

That should give provide great insight into his next plans, given everything works out.

EC3, real name Michael Hutter, 34 years old, deals with Impact was slated to expire towards the summer, but he received an early release and will be done by the completion of tonight's taping in Orlando, Florida. The storyline nephew of former Impact Wrestling majority owner Dixie Carter,EC3 debuted for the company in 2013 following a long tenure in WWE developmental where he was known as Derrick Bateman, most notable appearing on a season of WWE NXT during its "reality-competition" era.

Troubled with a number of injuries and setbacks during his WWE run, EC3 came into Impact with a chip on his shoulder and something to prove as a performer, hitting home run after home run during a strong initial push designed to make him a top name in the company,. It succeeded to the point that an argument can be made that he was one of the few homegrown stars developed by the company beyond those made in its earliest era.

With a great look and a great gift for gab, EC3 recently filed for a trademark on the EC3 name after Impact Wrestling made the decision to allow talents to retain the rights to their characters, so he can potentially bring that persona and its traits with him to WWE (or elsewhere). PWInsider.com has confirmed he is free and clear to go anywhere he wants after having completed his Impact farewell appearances at last week's TV tapings.

Does he own the rights to his theme song?

[The Heartbreak TWERK]

More like Derrick Idiot.

[Captain Stud Muffin (BLM)]

So he's about to premiere and go on like a 2 month long detox like Eric Young did

[cjb01: Limited Edition Item!]

THE RETURN!!

[TGM]

I hope WWE acknowledge him as Dixie's nephew. It'd be surreal.

I want more than anything for the answers to this to be yes.

I will honestly mark so hard for “Ladies and Gentlemen...”

If he goes to Smackdown, that's  THREE former TNA World Champions on that show!

Good news for the beaker industry as they'll need to replace their full stock when he melts them all during the testing.

[ben:friendship frog]

His theme song was genuinely my favourite part of TNA for a good year or two so it won't be the same when CFO$ make..whatever the f*** they do. Really excited to see him back though.

[OVO 40 hunched over like he 80]

If his looks stay the same I'll be surprised.

[Bub (BLM)]

Gonna have to rename it the WWE Performance Enhancement Center.

Like I said earlier I assume he makes his debut and then disappears for a while to get off his cycle like they did with Eric Young

[rrh]

For what it's worth

Smaller EC3 huh? I barely remember when he looked like a human being.

[Rican]

I'm not familiar with his TNA work but I was a big Derrick Bateman fan. I figure he'll go to NXT first in a variation of his TNA gimmick. Can't wait for him to be back.
