Yesterday (Tues. September 4, 2018) it was reported that James Ellsworth was backstage for SmackDown Live.
As we now know, he did not appear on the show in any capacity. So what was Ellsworth doing backstage? PWInsider is reporting that Ellsworth was backstage being interviewed for something pertaining to WWE female talent.
It’s unknown if it’s something for the upcoming Evolution pay-per-view (PPV) or a WWE Network special.
Ellsworth’s WWE Runs
Ellsworth last appeared on WWE TV back on July 24th. He was “fired” by SmackDown Live General Manager Paige. It’s believed Ellsworth was let go because he was done being used on WWE TV. He’s also not under full-time contract with the company as of this writing.
He returned to TV at the Money In The Bank (MITB) PPV, assisting Carmella in defeating Asuka. Ellsworth remained at Carmella’s side until being “fired” by Paige on the July 24th episode of SmackDown Live.
