For the past several months James Ellsworth has been paired up with “Mrs. Money In The Bank” Carmella on SmackDown Live. Ellsworth played a big role in helping Carmella win the MITB briefcase. He was recently a guest on WWE Hall Of Famer Jerry “The King” Lawler’s podcast, Dinner With The King, to discuss his alliance with Carmella and how it came about. You can check out the highlights here below:
Who’s idea it was to pair him with Carmella:
“I think it was last year at the European tour in November, she came to me and said, ‘Hey, I have this idea about putting you with me whenever you’re done with the Dean Ambrose and AJ stuff comes to an end, I have this idea to pitch to them. They put you with me, you fall in love with me, and I use that to my advantage to win matches and get me to the women’s title. I said yeah, that would be a great idea. I didn’t know her much back then. She went to Vince, and she pitched right to Vince, and Vince loved it. It’s ten, going on eleven months that we’ve been on TV together”
Their relationship behind the scenes:
“We are good friends. We text all the time. She’s a very, very smart girl, and she’s easy to talk to. We get along great.”
