According to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, former TNA/Impact Wrestling World Heavyweight Champion Ethan Carter III is indeed going to be signing with WWE.

No word yet on if he'll be going to NXT first or if he'll be going straight to the main roster. Also no word on whether he'll be using the EC3 name and gimmick, but he does own the rights to it.

There have been rumors of him possibly being a surprise entrant in this year's Royal Rumble Match but nothing has been confirmed as of yet.
