Jobbing Out February 1, 2018 (James Ellsworth joins us for a lengthy chat)

We're officially on the road to WrestleMania. Well, most of us are, anyway. AJ is in Kuwait visiting the troops. Typical spoiled, out of touch athlete, y'know? But PressBox's Simon Habtemariam kindly joins us in studio this week. In Segment 1, ALL RONDA ALL THE TIME. The Royal Rumble was great, but should WWE have waited until Monday or Tuesday to bring out Ronda Rousey? Also what do we expect from her moving forward? And how amazing were the Royal Rumble matches? Amazing, right? In Segment 2 (36:12), we break down the rest of the week that was for the main WWE roster. Why isn't Finn Balor in the Elimination Chamber? What to do about the Miz if Maryse's due date is WrestleMania? Where are we heading with Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens? Could Sasha Banks be turning heel? We discussed all of it. And in Segment 3 (1:07:03), our friend James Ellsworth joined us for a lengthy chat. We discussed everything about his unprecedented WWE run, storylines that were and storylines that weren't. What were the backstage politics like as he made his rise? We also discussed where he goes from here. Will he keep wrestling women? We talked about ACW's upcoming event "Ellsworth's Homecoming" February 16 at Michael's Eighth Avenue in Glen Burnie. After chatting with James, we wrapped up the week by discussing whether NXT erred in not giving the belt to Johnny Gargano after a phenomenal title match plus 205 Live has a new GM (who we love!) but is it kind of a disappointment?
