Update on James Ellsworth’s WWE Status

Your mileage may vary on this one. According to his official Facebook page, James Ellsworth is no longer taking independent bookings. While this isn’t for sure, this is a very strong sign that he has signed a WWE deal. Ellsworth has one more date remaining on the independent scene and then will be taking no more.

After appearing as a jobber to be destroyed by Braun Strowman on “Monday Night Raw” back on July 25, 2016, Ellsworth was brought back in to “Smackdown Live” as what appeared to be a joke. This led to a very surprising push for Ellsworth, who has managed to defeat Smackdown World Champion AJ Styles twice in a row.

I know Ellsworth doesn’t offer much on paper but there’s a charm to him as a guy who gets to live his dream. On top of that, any merchandise he moves for WWE is pure bonus money as you can’t imagine Ellsworth is making a fortune. He’s a guy living his dream and it’s a fun watching him out there, even if he’s just a goof.
