Any man with two hands can win the Royal Rumble. At least, that’s what SmackDown star James Ellsworth believes. The loveable loser is pushing for a spot in the 2017 Royal Rumble and is encouraging fans to use the hashtag #EllsworthRumble to show support.

For those of you who think it would be a waste to give a spot to Ellsworth, just remember how much the WWE loves to add a little comic relief into the match. Santino Marella set the record for shortest time in the Rumble in 2009 at 1.5 seconds. While it seems physically impossible for Ellsworth to break that, they just might try.

Another possibility would be Ellsworth facing off against his original nemesis, Braun Strowman. Strowman was Ellsworth’s first opponent and the two had quite the memorable exchange at the 2016 Survivor Series.
