EC3 Returning To TNA

Trouble is on its way back to TNA. Ahead of the upcoming TNA Rebellion event later tonight on April 11 as the promotion takes over the Wolstein Center in Cleveland, Ohio for the PPV, they released a vignette which confirms the impending return of a former TNA World Heavyweight Champion… Ethan Carter III, EC3. 

The video shows various pieces of EC3’s gear, his old TNA theme song is playing over the top in a slower, remixed version, before the contents of a crate are revealed to confirm that it is indeed EC3 who is coming back, seemingly as soon as the Rebellion 2026 PPV. EC3 himself has responded to these teases on X. 

“Threezus 2:37 - 

And the Ark was opened before the congregation. 

And The Top 1% was inside.

And it had not changed. 

Had not diminished. 

Had not apologized for its existence. 

And the people saw. 

And Rebellion was no longer just a name. It was a warning.”

EC3 has not wrestled in TNA since all the way back in 2020, though this was just a one-night-only return at Bound For Glory. Prior to that, he last wrestled full-time for the promotion in 2018. During his spell with the company, EC3 became a two-time World Heavyweight Champion.
