Will be the final member of team raw at survivor series
Predictably, she wasn't
Though returning on Sunday or Monday
would make sense (not the first consideration in WWE, mind).
Nah in manchester would have been the best option she was fit and was travelling the day before the RAW and Smackdown shows think they are playing with her
James Ellsworth has been released by the WWE.

With Charlotte Flair winning the women's title has created a spot on the Smackdown's women's team.I'd have a few sheckle's on it being Paige (so it looks like she's back off to Smackdown as what was originally intended).
And following on from what Tjl007 has just commented that WWE has just come to terms with the devastating release of one of their very best performers James Ellworth.But seriously though is he a legit wrestler or one of those sado-masochistic human punch-bags.I had a better physique & more muscles than him when I was 12 years old (I used to box & weight-lift at an early age).WWE taking on Ellsworth reminded me when they employed that one-legged wrestler (but he could wrestle) then run out of gimmicks early on then let him go shortly after although Ellworth lasted 3 years.The final straw (& the kick in the bollocks) came when he lost against Becky Lynch last week.
But on the subject of Survivor Series it certainly has all the ingredients of being PPV of the year if played right but I can kind of see Triple H screwing Kurt Angle & turning on him on the elimination match setting up a feud between them for either the Rumble or Wrestlemania.
Yeah, there is a chance of Paige turning up on SD.
Ellsworth was a total failure, his feud with Styles being a text-book example of WWE stupid booking.

Meh, why can't WWE actually bring in some proper glamour talent for a change.
oh for the days of Torrie Wilson, Trish, Candice, Kaitlyn, Maryse, Nikki.
No doubt some Bayley or AJ Lee fan will say they were overrated
Now now, some folks like both wrestling talent AND good looks
After the whole Divas Revolution/Mae Young Classic, I think wrestling talent is perceived/intended to be in the ascendancy right now.
Oh I miss those old bra & panty matches,pillow fights or those mud-wrestling matches (or was it gravy) which wouldn't have had the nostalgia behind them if the divas weren't aesthetically pleasing (yes I am as shallow as a puddle).
The problem with WWE is that they did (& probably still do)have a tendency to hire glamour & fitness models send them to wrestling camps thinking they would make the transition some did like Trish Stratus,Michelle McCool & others didn't like Eva Marie, Candice Michelle.
With the likes of Paige,Lita & Becky Lynch (she did work as a swimwear model) whom are bonafide wrestlers from an early age who just so happen to be incredibly hot make life for WWE's scouting network a lot easier & matches more easier on the eye.
have to say NXT Takeover wargames was another great show the Womens title match and the main event were very good
With the dust settling on last nights SS PPV & the aftermath set to follow on the upcoming Raw & Smackdown episodes I found SS to be a pretty good PPV overall.
I thought the men's 5v5 elimination was probably best match of the night closely followed by the Uso's vs The Bar & Lesnar vs AJ Styles & the only disappointing match that didn't really gel was The Miz vs Corbin.
Bar the Royal Rumble match itself the traditional SS 5v5 Elimination is probably my favourite match type as it's the anticipation of who gets to eliminate who.It was always going to be a gimme that HHH was going to turn on Kurt at some point but I had the gut feeling the turn was going to happen when Kurt & HHH were the only Raw team members left setting up a Smackdown win but as things turned out Kurt remains manager & an upcoming match between the pair looks set for either the Rumble or Wrestlemania.
Despite being a decent PPV there was an air of predictability about it ie neither The Shield,Brock or Asuka were going to lose,HHH was always going to turn on Kurt, the Owens & Zayn interference, & Raw overall being the much stronger brand.
