The WWE has announced that James Ellsworth will finally get his WWE Championship at tonight’s (Tuesday December 13, 2016) episode of WWE SmackDown Live from Washington, DC.
WWE Champion AJ Styles suffered an injury at the TLC pay-per-view (PPV) causing him to miss last Tuesday’s scheduled title defense against Ellsworth, and Styles has not wrestled since as he was also pulled form WWE Live Events as well. You can check out the promo for Styles’ return here:
