Is There A Future For ECW?
Looking at everything around, it is most likely that ECW will not be returning. The description supports this decision too. Even among so many disappointments, there is a little hope that we might be getting ECW again. Not in real life, but in video games. Everyone knows that WWE releases new video games each year. Their next installment WWE 2K22 will be out at the beginning of 2022, and we might get ECW over there. With so many wrestlers released from the WWE roster, it is more likely that they will bring back ECW to all of their games to fill up the missing places. Moreover, ECW had several wrestlers that we wish to play with.
