SK Exclusive: 5 interesting takeaways from An Evening With James Ellsworth

Jame
James Ellsworth spoke candidly

#3 Baron Corbin was apparently not an Ellsworth fan - but two other stars most definitely were

The Lone Wol
The Lone Wolf seemingly lives up to his gimmick

When James recalled getting official WWE merchandise in the form of a T-shirt with his face on it, he said he personally thought none of the shirts would sell. They turned out to be one of the most popular shirts on WWE.com, as James reveals he was selling more merchandise than Roman Reigns at one point.

However, not everyone 'got it' apparently. James recalls how "some of the guys just didn't get it - particularly one guy who "hadn't been on the indies came to WWE from being a football player." Not saying any names, the host for the night mutters, "Baron Corbin" under his breath and Ellsworth nods behind his drink.

If the former United States Champion wasn't a fan, though, he was in the minority as Ellsworth recalled that the reaction was really positive and that the first two people he saw wearing the shirts were Becky Lynch and Lita.

I mean, I'm walking backstage and I see Becky Lynch and one other person wearing my shirt, it was Lita! I'm like, "Man, these are two of the hottest women on the planet wearing a shirt with my face on it!"
