The Chinless Wonder James Ellsworth made his WWE debut on the first episode of the New Era, and no one knew that he would go on to become a WWE superstar in the coming months. His pre-match promo where he said that "any man with 2 hands has a fighting chance" made him famous, and he soon debuted on Smackdown as well.

James has been fired twice from the WWE and he has been working in the indies currently.

The Monster Amongst Men Braun Strowman appeared on RAW with a new look as he had a new haircut and looked more dangerous than ever. Strowman toyed with Ellsworth on that episode and later on went to become the biggest babyface superstar of the roster.

Despite his strength and physique, the Monster has failed to win the WWE Universal Championship. However, he hopes to win the title at the Royal Rumble PPV later this January.
