1. Ellsworth Costs Ambrose, Again

James Ellsworth has proven to be somewhat of a benefit to SmackDown Live, which earned him a contract to be a full-time WWE superstar. This can be seen when he helped lead to Braun Strowman’s elimination at Survivor Series (which was mentioned in the last slide). But at the same time, Ellsworth has cost Ambrose a chance at the WWE World Championship back in October.

There’s a good chance that Ellsworth could once again lead to Styles getting the win. While Ellsworth cannot get Ambrose disqualified under the rules of TLC, maybe Ellsworth makes a big mistake. The spot could involve Ellsworth getting in the ring with a steel chair and attempting to swing at Styles and hitting the Lunatic Fringe instead.

Or maybe he sets up a table that Ambrose is immediately knocked into for a devastating crash landing. Either way, Ellsworth could accidentally cause the Phenomenal One to get a big win to reclaim the WWE World Championship. There’s a saying that a champion knows a variety of ways to win, but not all will be pretty or popular ways.

Considering the instability of Ambrose, this sort of loss could lead the Lunatic Fringe to snap and turn heel. While many enjoy seeing him as the top face on SmackDown, a feud with Ellsworth would make a good amount of sense for the Road to WrestleMania.
