One of the most underused members of the Raw roster is waiting for a push in a recent photo, but not the kind of push most might people might associate with the photo.

EC3 used his Instagram account to send a subtle message to the WWE: that he's waiting for a push. The push he wants is an opportunity to do more than show up on the odd television, not say a word and get the tar kicked out of him by Braun Strowman.

EC3 signed back on with WWE after leaving Impact Wrestling, went to NXT as was one of the brightest stars on the brand. As part of a handful of NXT roster members who got a call up to the main roster in WWE, EC3 was shoved to the background, appeared seldom in random segments and didn't say more than two words before being sent to Raw in the Superstars Shake-up. Once he arrived, he was on the receiving end of a memorable beating by The Monster Among Men.

Needless to say, his return to WWE hasn't exactly gone the way most would have hoped, especially EC3 himself.

Instead of coming right out and saying he wants a release (like Luke Harper did) or taking his ball and going home (like it's rumored Sasha Banks did), EC3 has been a soldier just doing what has been asked of him. Finally, in this photo, he's out there trying to get noticed.

Sitting on a swing, he's not-so-obviously asking for a push from the WWE writers and Vince McMahon. All he can hope to get is an opportunity.

What This Means

EC3 may have learned the squeaky wheel gets the oil but he has to be careful what line he chooses to walk. It looks like WWE didn't appreciate what Harper did and who knows when Banks will be back. But, talent have used social media to prove a point in the past and sometimes WWE responds.

We'll see if that happens in EC3's case.
