There’s a lot of speculations going on about James Ellsworth returning at Money in the Bank PPV event.
This is the same event that witnessed him in a pivotal role last year. He was the one to give the proxy for Carmella and climb the ladder to grab the briefcase. It brought in controversy as well as attention to the event.
So it will be a good storyline perspective to bring him back to the same event. This kind of unexpected return makes WWE programming interesting. Maria Kanellis returned last year in the same PPV event. So we can expect something similar to happen with James Ellsworth.
We reported it earlier that the ‘chinless wonder’ is heading towards China this weekend. But it looks like that it is not true. Currently, the MKW promotion has removed James Ellsworth from the scheduled event.
Previously, Ellsworth confirmed on Twitter he will be in the eastern country this Saturday and Sunday. But the updated information suggested that it was a trick to assure that he will not attend the MITB event. It can make the fans go mark-out with his appearance.
It is what the MKW promotion had to say while canceling the advertised booking,
“James Ellsworth was scheduled to appear this weekend (June 16/17, 2018) in Harbin, China, as part of Middle Kingdom Wrestling presents EYES ON THE PRIZE, and an MKW Meet ‘n Greet party. This booking has been in place since February.
James Ellsworth informed us last night that he will not be traveling to China. This news comes after repeated attempts by MKW management to contact Ellsworth over the last six days to confirm travel arrangements.”
The current Intergender Champion is likely to resurface in WWE programming at MITB. Pwinsider.com already confirmed that storyline program is ready for his appearance. We expect that he will go straight to reform the ally with Carmella.
It is the same night where the Smackdown Women’s Championship will be on the line. Carmella will defend her title against Asuka. It is the toughest challenge that he is facing in her career. So an outside interference is must to retain the title.
James Ellsworth might turn out to be the difference in this contest, going by the rumours. He will be present by Mella’s corner to ensure her former partner retains the championship.
