Being The Elite

Being The Elite

Being The Elite, also known as BTE, debuted on YouTube in May 2016 and has since aired on average once or twice a week. The show was originally shot and edited entirely on an iPhone with the members of The Elite holding complete creative control over the content. As the show gained popularity, the production process changed to include nicer cameras as well as editing being done on a computer. Originally intended as a promotional vehicle and a video journal of The Young Bucks & Kenny Omega's life on the road, it has since evolved into a hybrid that also includes skits and storyline developments involving both The Elite and Bullet Club. In early 2017, Being The Elite provided the background for an angle that culminated at War of the Worlds in May with The Elite turning on Adam Cole and kicking him out of Bullet Club. While ROH had previously shown that there was tension between Cole and The Young Bucks, Being The Elite went deeper into the background for the angle with a storyline that involved tension between Cole and Omega and their fight for The Young Bucks' loyalty while also introducing Scurll, who would go on to become Cole's replacement in Bullet Club.
