SPOILER: Former WWE Superstar Set To Appear At SmackDown 1000
The list of SmackDown alumni returning for SmackDown 1000 continues to grow.
Read below if you want to find out the latest superstar added to the guest list for Tuesday’s landmark episode.
According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider, James Ellsworth will return to the company for an appearance at SmackDown 1000. Ellsworth last appeared on WWE television on the July 24 episode of SmackDown, interrupting the contract signing between AJ Styles and Samoa Joe. Ellsworth was kicked out of the building and fired by SmackDown General Manager Paige for his involvement in the contract signing.
The Man with Two Hands and A Fighting Chance showed up at IMPACT Wrestling’s Bound For Glory on Sunday night, answering the open challenge thrown out by Eli Drake. Ellsworth was heavily boo’d by the disappointed New York crowd, both hoping for a bigger star and a native New Yorker.
Ellsworth made his WWE debut on an episode of Raw, but became a big part of the SmackDown brand during the winter of 2016, getting involved in the WWE Title feud between Dean Ambrose and AJ Styles.
