James Ellsworth is set to return to WWE soon, according to PWInsider. Ellsworth could be returning at Sunday’s Money In the Bank pay-per-view as he is scheduled to be backstage. There have been several recent creative pitches for his return.

Ellsworth was released from the company in November 2017 after first debuting as an enhancement talent in 2016 during Braun Strowman’s climb to the top. He was last involved in a storyline with current SmackDown Women’s Champion Carmella. Ellsworth has worked indies since being released.

Hulk Hogan Says WWE Return Talks Are Moving ‘Quite Quickly’

Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair appeared together at the “Legends Of The Ring” event at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, FL last night. WSVN-TV Entertainment Reporter Chris Van Vliet interviewed Hogan and Flair at the event, which you can watch in the video above. They sent us these highlights from Hogan:

Returning to WWE:

“Things are moving in that direction quite quickly. It’s all about execution and timing and the right place and the right time but things are good.”

Why he never faced Ric Flair at WrestleMania:

“We don’t know. We were on fire. We did some house shows in Chicago, Milwaukee, three or four shows in a row we set all kinds of records all over and we were pushing real hard towards that WrestleMania time and for me I have a personal opinion, the chemistry was so powerful between Ric and I, I hate to say anything bad about any of the other wrestlers, I hate to say anything bad about the company but with Ric and I heading into WrestleMania it kind of took over everything. If we would have wrestled at WrestleMania, we would have taken so much of the focus because there would have been the rematch and the cage match, the title would have dropped and hopefully I would have won it back and back and forth. I think that Vince knew that this was such a powerful turbulence between the two of us he could conquer and divide and make it work even better and pretty much that’s what he did. He sent me off in one direction and him in another and we drew money in both directions.”

During UFC 225 PPV in Chicago, it was announced that former UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey will be inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame.

The Hall of Fame ceremony will take place on July 5 airing live on UFC Fight Pass.

The announcement took place after CM Punk’s second loss to Mike Jackson at UFC 225.

You can check out the video announcement below courtesy of UFC.

 

CM Punk Loses Second UFC Fight By Decision

cm punk loses ufc 225

Ex-WWE star CM Punk went the distance during his second UFC fight, but failed to pick up a win.

Punk was defeated by Mike Jackson via unanimous decision following the third round at UFC 225 in Chicago. He was not interviewed in the octagon after losing.

Announcer Joe Regan commended the former WWE champ’s heart, but was pretty harsh for most of the fight on commentary — once criticizing Punk for not being able to do basic white belt maneuvers.

During the post-fight press conference, Dana White seemed less than pleased with the performance of Mike Jackson and said he regretted not putting these two competitors on the fight pass card.

He says goodbye and good night, but out comes Cody for a moment. Crowd boos. Cody heads towards the ring, turns around, and then heads to the back. Bucks lift Omega on their shoulders and Omega goes around to shake hands with some of the fans.
