- Eric earned his first world title on April 10 during an event on Impact Wrestling against fellow wrestler Magnus to become the new TNA World Heavyweight Champion.
- 12 years after he joined TNA, the company announced that Eric was leaving them on March 19, 2016, and on October 12th that year he made his official debut in WWE’s NXT where he was introduced as the leader of stable Sanity, which was formed with the likes of Alexander Wolfe, Sawyer Fulton, and Nikki Cross.
