James Ellsworth is scheduled to appear at tomorrow’s SmackDown 1000, PWInsider is reporting.
Ellsworth just made a surprise appearance at last night’s Impact Bound for Glory PPV, answering an open challenge by Eli Drake and quickly losing after getting a negative reaction from the crowd.
Ellsworth was last on WWE TV on the July 24 SmackDown, when he was “fired” by Paige.
