• Former WWE Wrestler Hopeful For A Return To The Company After Being Fired 2 Years Ago
One of the top comedy wrestlers in WWE in 2016, James Ellsworth, is hoping to return to WWE. He started working with the company after the Draft in 2016, and was fired by then SmackDown General Manager Paige in July 2018 to end his run.
Lewis Nicholls of WWE Latest News recently interviewed Ellsworth, where he revealed that he was open to working with WWE again.
“You just never know, man. I would definitely go back and do more. I loved it there, I had a lot of fun and I would love to go back and do some more, absolutely. I think the majority of the former talent there that you speak with would say the same thing.”
