10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (Nov 12)
7. James Ellsworth Hasn't Been Told How Long His WWE Run Will Last
As aforementioned during a previous entry, James Ellsworth's rise to WWE prominence is a surprising story. Looking like anything but a WWE superstar, Ellsworth has nonetheless been able to capture the collective imaginations of pro wrestling fans with his unlikely performances and comedic touches.
The man himself realises that time is ticking in regards to the length of his current run. Ellsworth is a freak performer, although it's fair to say that he deserves the opportunity afforded to him. During an interview with the Two-Man Power Trip Of Wrestling podcast, James revealed that he doesn't even know if he's going to be booked from week to week.
A glaring insight into how SmackDown Live's creative team actually work, Ellsworth remarked that there was no concrete time frame in place for his WWE tenure. Instead, he simply shows up when asked and is told at the arena what he will be doing that night.
At some point, WWE will stop calling him and flying Ellsworth in for events. Eerily, the wrestler said he doesn't have a clue when that will happen.
