5 Possible reasons why James Ellsworth was fired from WWE

#4 His shenanigans have tarnished Carmella’s reign

James Ellsworth helped Carmella defeat Asuka twice

Carmella cashed in her Money In The Bank contract on Charlotte Flair two nights after WrestleMania 34 to win the SmackDown Women’s Championship for the first time in her career.

That victory was marred with a hint of controversy, with The IIconics attacking Charlotte before the cash-in, but the rematch at Backlash was won in a relatively clean manner by Carmella, immediately legitimising her as championship material.

However, her two recent victories over Asuka were completely tainted by James Ellsworth’s involvement, especially at Extreme Rules, and it’s because of his shenanigans that her character no longer feels worthy of being in the title scene.
