5 Surprising WWE Accomplishments Of James Ellsworth

5. Competed In The First Intergender Match Since The Attitude Era

Yes, this match was a joke. No, there was never any thought that Ellsworth might pull out any serious offense. It was still the first real intergender match since the WWE went PG.

What better way to for James Ellsworth to end his WWE tenure than to be beaten soundly by Becky Lynch and then having his head kicked off by his girlfriend / dog / slave / did anyone understand what he was supposed to be, Carmella?

While intergender matches have fallen out of favor in the WWE over the last decade or so, they used to be more commonplace. Chyna's run with the Intercontinental title springs immediately to mind, as does the Trish Stratus and Lita vs. Chris jericho and Christian at Armageddon 2003. The practice fell out of favor over fears that these matches promoted domestic violence.
