James Ellsworth was brought into WWE as an enhancement talent to face off against Braun Strowman. Interestingly, he was somehow able to become part of a number of storylines on SmackDown in the years that followed.

Charlotte Flair to return and wrestle a CURRENT CHAMPION?

Ellsworth's final storyline came when he was managing Carmella and helped The Princess of Staten Island to win the first-ever Women's Money in the Bank ladder match before walking into a feud with former Women's Champion Becky Lynch and being written off WWE TV.

Ellsworth later returned after nearly a year to help Carmella retain her Championship against Asuka at Money in the Bank in 2018, before he was then fired by General Manager Paige when he insulted her on a live episode of the show.

WWE's creative team obviously had nothing left for Ellsworth at the time since his storyline with Carmella had reached its conclusion and the firing went on to be his last official WWE appearance. He has since moved on to wrestle on the Independent Circuit and has even made a one-off appearance at Impact Wrestling.
