WWE News - Former Superstar hoping to return, two years after being fired on SmackDown

Almost two years after his last televised appearance for WWE, James Ellsworth is hopeful that he will return to the company in some capacity one day.

The 35-year-old’s last run with WWE ended with him being fired by SmackDown General Manager Paige in July 2018.

Since then, he has worked for various independent promotions, while he also lost a match against Eli Drake at Impact Wrestling’s Bound for Glory event in October 2018.

According to WWE latest news, while speaking in an interview with Lewis Nicholls, Ellsworth said he is open to working for WWE again and he believes many of his former colleagues would be happy to see him return.

“You just never know, man. I would definitely go back and do more. I loved it there, I had a lot of fun and I would love to go back and do some more, absolutely. I think the majority of the former talent there that you speak with would say the same thing.”
