5 WWE Superstars that exceeded expectations in 2016

#2 James Ellsworth

With all the hype that James Ellsworth got in the introduction slide, you probably saw this inclusion coming, didn’t you?

The journey of Ellsworth from a local jobber to the man that defeated AJ Styles three times in one year was a remarkable one. Some fans would cringe thinking about how WWE booked Ellsworth but the circle was completed when Styles destroyed Ellsworth recently on SmackDown Live.

Despite not having the regular WWE frame or looks, Ellsworth went on to become a lovable jobber. Later, he showcased his skills by making people hate him and turning into an annoying heel. This is only the start for Ellsworth and 2017 might be a bigger year for him at this rate.
