The heart of the matter...
Apparently, James Ellsworth received a ton of requests as soon as he was released. He will have no shortage of bookings but first, he needs to wait out his 90-day no-compete clause.
The magic date for Ellsworth is February 12th, 2018. Once that date passes, then who knows where James Ellsworth will pop up next. From the sounds of things, he'll be plenty busy.
What's next?
James Ellsworth will be able to spend the Holiday season with his family and have a happy New Year. If anything he won't have to work on Christmas and New Year's Day like the rest of the WWE roster. But all the while he's liable to be stacking his indy schedule because once he's free to take bookings once again who knows where he'll show up next?
Author's take
It's not a huge surprise James Ellsworth is already in high demand. After all, he can draw heat as a heel and people can still gravitate toward him as a sympathetic babyface. His facial expressions and ring psychology tell a great story in the ring and he would be an asset to any locker room.
Even if you're not a fan you have to admit he took every role he was given by WWE and ran with it full-force. He's also a great guy who's game for anything. Therefore, who knows how far Ellsworth's star will continue to rise in the world of pro wrestling?
