A former WWE star has teased their return at Saturday’s Backlash after nearly eight years away.
James Ellsworth is ready to make his return to WWE this very same week as part of the upcoming Backlash 2026 pay-per-view event in Tampa, FL. Taking to Twitter, Ellsworth suggested that he could be Danhausen’s mystery partner when the face-painted Superstar faces Kit Wilson and The Miz.
Ellsworth also suggested that he has a history with Danhausen, who, if Ellsworth is to be believed, is responsible for James’ chin. Ellsworth isn’t the only name interested in the spot, as actress and long-time Danhausen fan Danielle Fishel has suggested she could team with him.
Who is The Odds-On Favourite To Be Danhausen’s Tag Partner At WWE Backlash?
CM Punk is the bookies’ favourite to team with Danhausen, in what will be Punk’s first match since his loss to Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 42 Night Two. Ellsworth was with WWE for a handful of years and holds several wins over WWE Hall of Famer AJ Styles.
