Former WWE Superstar James Ellsworth was backstage at Tuesday’s SmackDown 1000, but did not appear on the televised broadcast. He was interviewed by Mike Rome for WWE’s YouTube channel and explained why he didn’t appear on TV.
Ellsworth proclaimed, “I’m a SmackDown Legend, I should’ve been on this show.” He showed up to the arena with his gear and was ready to wrestle, just in case. Ellsworth says SmackDown General Manager Paige saw him behind the scenes and was confused why he was there. He recalls Paige questioning, “What are you doing here, James? I fired you on SmackDown episode 988.”
Ellsworth says he deserved to be part of SmackDown 1000 and it’s not fair that he was excluded. “As a matter of fact, I should be on SmackDown 1001, 1003, 1003, SmackDown 1004, SmackDown 1005, SmackDown 1006, SmackDown 1007, SmackDown 1008, 1009, 1010, 1011, 1012, 1013, 1014, 1015…”
As noted over the weekend,James Ellworth made a surprise appearance at Impact Wrestling’s Bound For Glory pay-per-view. Impact officials were hoping to lock him in to a contract, but Ellsworth politely declined the offer.
