A former WWE star has posted a Valentine’s Day message. Many stars have openly expressed their feelings for their loved ones on this day, and the theme was even carried over to SmackDown this week.
However, a former star of the blue brand took to X (Twitter) to post a bold declaration. James Ellsworth, who competed in WWE from 2014 to 2018, uploaded a photo of him and his wife with a caption.
My wife is hotter than yours…#HappyValentinesDay…” he wrote.

After making a few sporadic appearances on RAW, James Ellsworth found his home on SmackDown. He first appeared on the show as the mystery partner for AJ Styles against John Cena and Dean Ambrose in a September 2016 episode.
He then beat Styles in a one-on-one match after Ambrose, the special guest referee, favored him during the contest. He also beat the Phenomenal One by disqualification in a Championship match.
Ellsworth was named as the mascot for the SmackDown Survivor Series team and helped eliminate Braun Strowman from the match by holding onto his leg and having him counted out.
He later aligned with Carmella and helped her win the Women’s Money in the Bank briefcase.
James Ellsworth wanted a moment with AJ Styles in WWE before his retirement
James Ellsworth got over with the fans due to his lighthearted rivalry with AJ Styles on SmackDown.
He later became an ally for Styles and helped him retain the WWE Championship in a Tables, Ladders and Chairs match against Dean Ambrose. He also challenged The Phenomenal One for the Title but was beaten.
Last year, as rumors of Styles’ retirement swirled, he made a post on Instagram and pleaded for one more opportunity to work with him before he retires. The opportunity couldn’t come to pass, and Styles retired at the Royal Rumble last year.
