While Ellsworth has been fighting as a pro wrestler since 2002, he made his WWE debut in 2016 against Braun Strowman. He was known for his rivalry with Dean Ambrose and the former WWE Champion, AJ Styles. He was suddenly pushed into the WWE main events and even main-evented SmackDown, which surprised many people. The man behind this idea was none other than Vince McMahon. 

In his podcast “Oh…You Didn’t Know,” Road Dogg said, “Like it was Ellsworth and AJ, and Ellsworth and Dean Ambrose, what are we doing here? And it was like, ‘No, sir. No, we don’t want to put him in the main event again’, and he’s like, ‘God, you have to.’

He also added- “And he was right. Every week it did better and better; it was like people just had to see what we were going to do here, you know?”

Road Dogg said that despite his multiple protests, McMahon always put Ellsworth in the main events, which worked like magic as the fans were intrigued to see the underdog perform at the highest level and tuned in to the blue brand to see what happens next with Ellsworth.
