EC3 Shares More New Photos After Viral Video Sparks Speculation

EC3 has surfaced on social media following recent online concern surrounding his health and physical condition.

The former WWE NXT and TNA star took to X on Saturday, sharing three shirtless photos of himself while writing that he was “just checking in on everybody’s health and wellness journey!!!”

The post comes after footage from Canadian independent promotion All Star Wrestling circulated online earlier this week. The video sparked heavy speculation among fans about EC3 after he noticeably limped during his entrance.

Rockstar Spud later addressed the situation after speaking with his former TNA colleague, explaining that EC3 was selling the effects of an injury as part of a story spanning multiple matches that evening.

“The video circulating is taken from match two of a one night story, where he is selling the effects of a leg from earlier (which is already really hurt but working as mentioned he through injury).”

Despite that explanation, additional speculation regarding EC3’s health and appearance continued to circulate online.

EC3 appeared to respond to some of that discussion with his latest post, although he did not directly or officially address any specific claims about his health.

“8/8: Just checking in on everybody’s health and wellness journey!!! Reminder: comparison is the thief of joy…(unless posting shirtless photographs on the internet specifically so other people can compare themselves to you. Together, through accountability, positive affirmations, hydration, believing in ourselves, and proper digestion undeterred by international travel, disrupted circadian rhythms, and the gastrointestinal betrayal of prolonged air pressure…We can defeat today’s Lion’s Gate Portal #lionsgateportal and the general concept of “selling injury” in professional wrestling. Blessed #Journey #Selling #Accountability.”
