WWE News: James Ellsworth responds to whether he's signed a contract or not
James Ellsworth appeared in a podcast known as Two Man Power Trip, and when asked about a full-time contract, he said:
"I do hear stuff but I don't count my chickens before they hatch, but I don't know what the future holds.
