5 Surprising WWE Accomplishments Of James Ellsworth
1. He Competed For The WWE Championship On An Episode Of SmackDown Live
Most superstars go their entire wrestling careers and never get a WWE Championship opportunity. James Ellsworth did it in his first few months with the company. Sure, it happened entirely because he was a prop in Dean Ambrose’s mind games against then champion, AJ Styles. That’s not important, and he’ll probably leave it out of the story when he tells it to his grandkids.
After gaining a previous victories over The Phenominal One due to Ambrose shenanigans, on October 18th, 2016, James Ellsworth defeated AJ Styles in a match for the WWE Championship. It was a DQ victory and of course the title didn’t change hands.
His grandkids will be very proud.
