James Ellsworth has become an internet sensation over the past several weeks. He recently has been in the main event of Smackdown LIVE for the past two weeks, facing WWE World Champion: AJ Styles. Lots of questions remain for Ellsworth. Is he signed by WWE? Will WWE fans see him again? Has he been contacted by other promotions?
Ellsworth was a guest on the Hit the Ropes Radio Podcast, where he spoke on a wide variety of topics. Below are some highlights.
On his desired opponent if he sticks around WWE:
“[Strowman is] one of the things fans have tweeted about, but I personally would like to work with the Miz. He did drop me on the ramp about a month ago, and I haven’t really seen that since. If I’m going to be on Smackdown Live, I’d like to seek revenge, I guess…Like I always say: It doesn’t matter whether it’s Miz, or if it’s Strowman, or it’s the WWE world champ AJ Styles — when I get in there, I have a chance. Because any man with two hands has a fighting chance” (Source: Hit The Ropes Radio Podcast).

If TNA was ever on the table for him:
“No, because I thought if I did that, the WWE stuff would end. The WWE is the place to be, it’s always been my dream, to be a part of the WWE. So, I’ve never reached out to TNA, no. There have been, I won’t say TNA or Ring of Honor, but there have been bigger companies reaching out to me. But I haven’t responded. I don’t want to upset the WWE. They’ve put me in a world title match, given me a t-shirt now, they’ve invited me back again. I don’t know how far this going, but I’m going to stick around to see. I don’t wanna mess this up” (Source: Hit The Ropes Radio Podcast).
Looks like Ellsworth might be sticking around for a little longer!
