EC3 has officially confirmed his departure from the National Wrestling Alliance. The announcement came through a detailed social media statement posted on January 1, 2026.
Rather than a routine farewell, EC3 used the message to reflect on his time with the promotion and what he believes it represented. He stated that his run was built around standards, responsibility, and respect rather than presentation alone.
During his statement, EC3 highlighted his reign as NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion. He noted that he had defended the title more than 80 times across four continents, referencing several notable matches that defined his tenure.
EC3 emphasized that his work extended beyond in-ring success. He explained his role in helping establish Exodus Pro as the NWA’s first official developmental territory, crediting the system for producing talent that later appeared on the main roster.
According to EC3, the goal was not exposure but culture. He described the project as an example of how structure and leadership can create long-term results within wrestling.
While he did not reveal his next destination, EC3 concluded the statement by emphasizing leadership as an action rather than a title. He made it clear that his commitment to building the future of wrestling remains unchanged.
