A new episode of Being The Elite is below.

On Chris Jericho's podcast, James Ellsworth revealed who invited him into the locker room in WWE: "Bray Wyatt's like, 'Yeah, Ellsworth, stop dressing in that extra talent dressing room. I was wrestling AJ Styles for the world title and I was still dressing in the extra talent dressing room! I didn't want to make anyone mad about walking into the WWE locker room. So Bray Wyatt was the one to say, 'No, you're with us now.' He was the one. And I think when I got released, I texted him, 'Hey man, you're the one who did this for me and I won't forget that.'"

Here are WWE's "Five Things You Need to Know" before SmackDown tonight.

Here Apollo Crews talks about transitioning from NXT to the main roster: "It is a lot different because never in my life have I been on the road that much. I worked independents before I got to WWE. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday we are in NXT in Orlando training and Thursday we are traveling on the road, but we are not traveling too far outside of Orlando so two hours maximum outside of Orlando. When you get to WWE, literally every week you are getting on a plane from state to state and city to city; literally four different cities and states. I believe it is different, especially when you are used to a certain structure with my training, eating, it took me a while to figure out a schedule. Packing my meals, bringing my food on the road, training every moment I get. It is almost like you have to plan accordingly otherwise you lose sleep, training time, you lose time to eat so you really have to stay focused and really plan out your day and stay organized."

Last night's WWE Main Event results are below. (wInc)

* Heath Slater defeated Curt Hawkins
* Cedric Alexander defeated Ariya Daivari

Happy birthday to Tommy Dreamer! "The Innovator of Violence" turns 47 today. (PWN)

1:00 PM ET. WWE is going to have another "talent draft" at Backlash this year. (WZ)

Four new WWE related videos are below.

* The Filthy Generation (Stevie Boy, Lewis Girvan & Aspen Faith) defeat Mark Coffey, Kenny Williams & Aaron Echo ***this was Lewis Girvan's 50th ICW match.

Braun Strowman came out and repeatedly destroyed Miz and the Miz-Tourage after Raw to entertain the crowd. (PWI)

Jason Jordan won't be back in time for WrestleMania. (WO)

To make a long story short Austin Aries denies that he's hard to work with.

4:00 PM ET. Here's a story about WWE's Billie Kaye getting her first action figure from Mattel.

WWE's announcement about pay-per-views from Backlash on being dual-branded again is "expected soon." Bryan Alvarez reported on Observer Live that the plan being discussed is to not have every champion on every PPV but to have more championship matches on Raw and SmackDown, some championship matches on PPV, and "big feud" matches as well. (WO)

Here Molly Holly talks about how "Macho Man" Randy Savage got her into WCW: "It was Randy Savage's idea to bring me on TV - he let Eric Bischoff know that I was going to be a part of his entourage. So, how it happened was, Randy told me that he wanted me to train his girlfriend, Stephanie, on how to do some wrestling moves. Stephanie and I then hit it off and became friends. She then told Macho Man, 'Wow, this girl Nora, she has amazing moves! Do you think she can be part of our entourage on television?' And Randy said, 'Yep, that's great.' So, Randy had Stephanie's stylist make me a sequined bodysuit, and Stephanie taught me how to rub on some fake tan and dye my hair platinum blonde, and she brought me backstage at WCW. Randy then said to Eric Bischoff that he was bringing me onstage with him at WCW. After that, it was pretty much it. Although, eventually, I did get a contract, it was kind of cool that Randy just had the power to do what he wanted on TV, and he wanted me to be a part of his group. And that was very flattering, and awesome."

For those interested here's a bunch of House of Hardcore news.

In this interview Rusev says he became great friends with Bill Goldberg during the latter's WWE run -- after a rough start at the beginning that is: "Oh, it was great. So, the first day he met me, I went to shake hands and he looked the other way. I was like, okay! You don't care about me. That's up to you. And then, we had to work together and then he came and gave me a big hug, and said 'thank you' and all that. But he looked good. He went out there. He was trying to do a couple of things. Unfortunately, he slipped. He had to hold my hand so that he could get up. Things happened. We went through it and now, he's my best friend."

5:00 PM ET. Raw did a 1.03 rating in the 18-49 demo with 3.105 million viewers, perplexingly down 4% but up 2% respectively from last week’'s 1.07 and 3.055. (SBD)

Eddie Edwards has reportedly signed a new deal with Impact. (PWI)
