When he was asked if James Ellsworth’s WWE firing that took place on this past week’s edition of WWE SmackDown! Live, Dave Meltzer noted that he’ll likely return at some point. He said,
He wasn’t under contract so was only meant for limited appearances. The TV version was a work. He’s so good at his role I’d be surprised at some point he’s not back. https://t.co/tvB2YxThfU
