00:00:00We've got yet another challenge for each and every one of you.
00:00:04Previously on LFG.
00:00:07Phenomenal one, AJ Styles.
00:00:08Show me who you are.
00:00:10I am the shooting star.
00:00:11I'm a West Coast gangster, dog.
00:00:13The gold standard.
00:00:15The gold standard.
00:00:17Yeah.
00:00:18Why don't you let Holyfield represent Holyfield?
00:00:20Why can't I represent Holyfield?
00:00:21That's all for a second.
00:00:23You would look like you're trying to send someone not to the hospital, but to the graveyard.
00:00:28I like that, dude.
00:00:29Yeah, well, no, Sherlock.
00:00:30I'm selling my ass off for him.
00:00:32Of course he's going to look like the Reaper.
00:00:35The LFG playoffs begin.
00:00:39Next week, eliminations start.
00:00:41I'm looking at every single person here being like, you can steal my spot.
00:00:46F*** that.
00:00:50At the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida, the legends and future greats gather for a special announcement.
00:00:57Hello, everybody.
00:00:59Today begins the first round of the LFG playoffs.
00:01:05Your legend is going to determine which one of you stays and which one of you goes home.
00:01:14One-on-one, you will face your own teammates.
00:01:20I think knowing that we have the LFG playoffs, it's going to change your mindset completely.
00:01:29It's going to be you or them, and that's going to change everything.
00:01:34And I can tell by the looks on all 16 of these future greats' faces, because they all gave
00:01:44it away, how this for the very first time became very real to them.
00:01:52For the women, ladies first.
00:01:57And you men, you will go next week.
00:02:00Best to all of you.
00:02:03Now let's f*** go.
00:02:05Welcome to the Ultimate Proving Ground.
00:02:1516 future greats.
00:02:21Four legends.
00:02:23He is the epitome of WrestleMania!
00:02:27I have broke down barriers for women.
00:02:29A chance to win an NXT contract.
00:02:41Every legend has a first chapter.
00:02:44The future starts now.
00:02:45A day before the playoffs begin, the Performance Center athletes and their legendary coaches
00:02:58come together for a group photo.
00:03:00You know, that moment was surreal.
00:03:03Very surreal.
00:03:04It's been a long journey.
00:03:08Everything has gotten real now and has set in.
00:03:12You can kind of finally see in their heads, they're starting to think like, oh, okay,
00:03:18this run might be over.
00:03:21Oh, my God.
00:03:24I felt like my entire body was shaking, but I felt still at the same time, if that makes
00:03:28sense.
00:03:28Like, just the inside of my body, like all the butterflies and everything.
00:03:32I was also really trying to hold it together, and I, you know, I know this is TV, but I think
00:03:36I've cried enough on this show.
00:03:38Undertaker leads the legends with seven points, followed by Booker T with six.
00:03:47Bubba Ray Dudley has four, while Mickie James has three points.
00:03:53The night before the first elimination round, each legend sat down with their two female future
00:03:58greats.
00:03:59The purpose was to get a sense of where these young women were, both mentally and emotionally,
00:04:05before stepping into the ring to face their teammates.
00:04:08I need to know that you know how important this is.
00:04:12Twelve weeks in, everything gets real now.
00:04:16This is obviously my life's passion.
00:04:20I've dedicated over 30-plus years of doing this, so this is very important to me.
00:04:26And it's still important, although I'm not in the ring anymore.
00:04:29It's still important for me to be able to help you guys move forward.
00:04:35Because obviously you guys know that I'm going to have to, I'm going to have to choose one
00:04:38of you, and I'm going to have to let one of you go.
00:04:40Why should I pick you, Bailey?
00:04:42I think you should pick me, because I think I have the ability to change the wrestling world.
00:04:47I think I have the ability to change it when it comes to females.
00:04:50It's time for new blood, and I think I can bring it.
00:04:58Awesome.
00:04:59I like that.
00:05:00And I think you can, I think you can do all those things.
00:05:04Tyra?
00:05:07I am a hard worker, and I'm not just saying that.
00:05:11You've seen me on the Olympic level.
00:05:14I will make sure that I make you proud, and make every single little girl and little boy
00:05:22that is watching me, that is looking up to me, showing them that, oh my gosh, look at
00:05:26the passion, the drive that she has.
00:05:28It doesn't matter what situation she is in, she's going to put her best foot forward, because
00:05:33that is what she believes in.
00:05:34You tear it down.
00:05:36Don't leave anything to chance.
00:05:38Don't leave anything in the tank.
00:05:40Go out there and take what is yours.
00:05:44Good luck.
00:05:54I always say preparation is the only luck you're ever going to have in this business,
00:05:58and if you're not looking at it as a test, you have a chance at failing.
00:06:12Hey, Coach.
00:06:12What up, guys?
00:06:14How you doing?
00:06:16You guys been riding together since day one.
00:06:19You know, pulling for team five times.
00:06:23But now we're at a fork in the road.
00:06:26Choice gotta be me.
00:06:27I never thought, like, I'll be under the big lights like this.
00:06:31So if you think, if you think you got what it takes to go against P-Nasty, then come
00:06:37get your issue.
00:06:39Okay.
00:06:39All right, P-Nasty.
00:06:40Okay, P-Nasty.
00:06:42To be put under the pressure, and I ain't crack yet, it's only built me 10,000 times stronger
00:06:48than I already thought I was.
00:06:49Lee, what has it been for you?
00:06:51The great thing about being in LFG is I think it awakened something in me and made me realize
00:06:58I can be that girl.
00:07:01I am that girl.
00:07:02Lee Larell is not just a dreamer.
00:07:05She's the next big thing here in WWE.
00:07:10You always work harder with your best friends, right?
00:07:14I know that straight up.
00:07:16May the best woman win.
00:07:19I am highly emotional because the idea of cutting any of my future greats, it was weird.
00:07:34The energy was weird today, for sure.
00:07:37Before we even get started on everything else, I think you've both grown so much, and I couldn't
00:07:42be prouder to be your coach.
00:07:44How do you feel going into this match?
00:07:46I'm so much nervous, which I am before every match, but I think in this whole series,
00:07:53I showed a lot of potential up front.
00:07:55Well, it is certainly a learning experience, but Danny just learned the hard way.
00:08:01Oh, it's the triangle.
00:08:02The triangle's locked in.
00:08:04That's the Hell's Gate.
00:08:05That's the Undertaker's move.
00:08:07And it got to a point where after a wrestling match, I couldn't walk.
00:08:10And when I got back, I've had a couple matches where I feel like I've been giving my all
00:08:15for other people and not myself.
00:08:17What about you?
00:08:17How are you feeling?
00:08:18I walked in here with no experience.
00:08:21I walked in here knowing little to nothing about how to wrestle.
00:08:24And I waited and I waited and I waited for my opportunity.
00:08:27And I finally feel like I'm just now getting started.
00:08:30What do you think Danny's greatest strength is and her greatest weakness?
00:08:40I think Danny's greatest strength is the wrestling.
00:08:44I think I can see how she has developed as a wrestler and how agile she is and how easy
00:08:51it is for her to pick up.
00:08:52However, I do think a weakness of hers is her character and how to really stand out.
00:08:59I think her greatest strength is her story.
00:09:01Tell me about the moment that you found out that your dad was deported.
00:09:06It was on my birthday.
00:09:07You found out that your dad was deported on your birthday?
00:09:10Yeah, immigration came and got him the morning of my birthday.
00:09:12Did you watch him get taken away?
00:09:14Yes, sir.
00:09:15What she's been through and what it's made her be, that's a tough layer of skin that I
00:09:20can't say I relate to.
00:09:22On the other hand, I think that her greatest weakness, I see a fine line between cockiness
00:09:33and confidence.
00:09:35And I don't like people who are cocky.
00:09:38So.
00:09:39Good.
00:09:40Yeah.
00:09:45Bubba is a very unconventional coach.
00:09:50Comfy?
00:09:52At ease?
00:09:54Well, now I'm uncomfy.
00:09:55Relaxed?
00:09:55No.
00:09:56Stand up.
00:09:57Yep.
00:10:10This is your WrestleMania moment.
00:10:15This is your chance to steal the show.
00:10:18Tell me why you should stay.
00:10:21I think that I should stay.
00:10:23Zena should stay because I do the things to be in first place, such as studying film 24-7
00:10:30when I'm not here, when I'm at home, when I'm with friends, all I'm doing, everything
00:10:35my whole life revolves around wrestling.
00:10:37I have the same question for you.
00:10:40Convince me why, even if you suck in this match, why you should stay.
00:10:45I got fairly emotional, and I just decided to remove the filter a little bit.
00:10:57I was just honest and raw about it, and I regret none of it.
00:11:02I just think, personally, I just have so much more to give.
00:11:10Are those tears of disappointment?
00:11:12They're more a mix, a mix, disappointment, because this has become my world.
00:11:22So it's a mix of both.
00:11:24It's like disappointed tears, but it is a passion as well, because I've fallen in love
00:11:33with this in such a short amount of time.
00:11:40Great answer.
00:11:44Thank you, sir.
00:11:48Come here.
00:11:48Coming up, it's the first round of the LFG Playoffs.
00:12:01Xena Sterling versus Tatiana Dumas.
00:12:05And later, the eliminations begin.
00:12:07I think I need to do the right thing.
00:12:10Um...
00:12:11I don't think Mickey's decided yet.
00:12:13Yo, guys, LFG Playoffs are here, so let's f***ing go.
00:12:20Woo!
00:12:20Yeah, I felt it.
00:12:22Oh!
00:12:26Back on LFG, Vic Joseph alongside Jeremy Borash.
00:12:30Playoffs have begun.
00:12:31Okay, Tatiana, if ever you were gonna have a day,
00:12:35today is the day.
00:12:38The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:12:42Introducing first, representing Team Bubba Ray,
00:12:48from Sydney, Australia,
00:12:52Tatiana Dumas.
00:12:56JB, tonight is the night.
00:13:01There you go, for me, I'll take it.
00:13:04Here she comes.
00:13:05Ladies and gentlemen,
00:13:08hailing from the Ukraine,
00:13:11the meal ticket,
00:13:13Xena Sterling!
00:13:15And the way for opponent,
00:13:17who are we getting?
00:13:18Team Bubba Ray!
00:13:21From the Ukraine,
00:13:24Xena Sterling!
00:13:26Got that new pink gear on!
00:13:28Well, Jeremy, for tonight,
00:13:29the playoffs begin.
00:13:31It is crunch time for all the women
00:13:33here on LFG.
00:13:35The 16 will become 12 at the end of this episode.
00:13:39Each legend eliminates a female.
00:13:51JB, the pressure is at the highest level
00:13:54it's been thus far.
00:13:56Uh-oh.
00:13:57She's got a little fire in her today.
00:13:59And when you take a look at both these women,
00:14:02wait a minute, from behind,
00:14:04looking for the early win and a kickout for Xena.
00:14:06She's coming into this first round of the playoffs
00:14:08with a ton of momentum.
00:14:10There's no question about it.
00:14:11When you're called the meal ticket,
00:14:13going into a matchup by your own legend,
00:14:15you've got to think Tatiana Dumas knows
00:14:17she has her work cut out for her in this one.
00:14:19This is her last opportunity to shine,
00:14:21to make a difference,
00:14:22to make an impact,
00:14:23and to stick around, ultimately,
00:14:25to the semifiles.
00:14:26Well, you know,
00:14:26you start looking through this a little bit deeper,
00:14:28and you start looking at this match,
00:14:30and it's got to be gut-wrenching
00:14:31for the coaches tonight.
00:14:33I'm telling you,
00:14:34Tatiana has already forgot everything.
00:14:38Not a good sign there from Bubba.
00:14:41It is not.
00:14:41Slow down, slow down, Tatiana.
00:14:44I understand what you want to tell her,
00:14:45but this is the first time
00:14:46that she's really showed emotion and personality.
00:14:50It's like I almost wouldn't want to tell her to slow down.
00:14:52Right.
00:14:53You know, you can pull her back from here,
00:14:56but this is the most emotion
00:14:58and most fire that I've seen from her.
00:15:01That's true.
00:15:01Yeah, you're right.
00:15:03That's a great point by the entertainer,
00:15:04but look, Bubba Ray has been frustrated
00:15:06with some of the recent performances from Tatiana,
00:15:09especially if you go back to last week's tag team match.
00:15:12No question about it,
00:15:13but this is an opportunity right now
00:15:14for both of Bubba's females to shine
00:15:16and to show they belong and continue on this program.
00:15:20Only one will, Zena Sterling or Tatiana Dumas.
00:15:23We're going to find out which one goes on
00:15:25to the semifinals yet here today with this program.
00:15:29And obviously, with so much at stake,
00:15:31knowing that one of these two will be gone from the program,
00:15:35at the end of this episode,
00:15:36the stakes have never been high.
00:15:37Going in for another cover is Tatiana,
00:15:39another kick out.
00:15:40And for Tatiana,
00:15:41we've heard all the legends talk about it.
00:15:42She's got the look.
00:15:43She's got the athletic ability,
00:15:45but the issue comes down to one thing, J.B., confidence.
00:15:50Well, confidence is the big difference maker
00:15:51a lot of times when you're stepping into
00:15:52a sport like professional wrestling,
00:15:54knowing that everything is on the line
00:15:56and the eyes are on you.
00:15:58Well, the eyes right now are there
00:15:59looking right at the legends, especially Bubba.
00:16:02This is the point I was talking about.
00:16:03Tiana does a really good job,
00:16:05and she's in control getting her stuff in.
00:16:08Mm-hmm.
00:16:08That's the point she needs to work on.
00:16:10I see what Bud is doing there
00:16:11as far as trying to put Tiana in a vulnerable position
00:16:14where she has to work for nothing.
00:16:15Yeah.
00:16:16We've never really seen it.
00:16:17Yeah.
00:16:17Oh, all right.
00:16:20Two most important things for a babyface
00:16:23is the sell and the comeback, right?
00:16:25Exactly.
00:16:27Well, at this juncture, too,
00:16:28every little detail is magnified.
00:16:30One little mistake that the legends don't like,
00:16:32you know, could be the difference maker
00:16:35by the end of the evening for all these athletes.
00:16:38Oh, you ain't giving them no break, are you?
00:16:40You pipe them right in.
00:16:43Zina, the MVP of Team Bubba.
00:16:45Tatiana, who I guess we could say
00:16:47has had the rockiest of all the seasons
00:16:49of the future greats.
00:16:51All right, Zina, let's see some fire.
00:16:55And let's see that fire indeed.
00:16:57Can Zina put Tatiana away?
00:17:00She's got to follow through on those close lines.
00:17:02And again, JB, one of these women, they're gone.
00:17:08Only one can move on.
00:17:10It's playoff time.
00:17:11When you talk about the confidence issues with Tatiana,
00:17:13that's for sure we've seen that several times.
00:17:16Who is she calling a moron?
00:17:17I think she's calling you out.
00:17:18She's supposed to scream oxymoron.
00:17:20Oh, okay.
00:17:21I was like...
00:17:22Whoa!
00:17:23Oh, shoot, that was close.
00:17:25Wow, that was close.
00:17:26In the cover for Zina,
00:17:27and Sterling picks up the win here in the playoffs.
00:17:32Here is your winner, Zina Sterling!
00:17:40What a victory.
00:17:42Bubba almost made me a little bit in shock.
00:17:44Bummer really has to think about this now
00:17:45as he has to eliminate one of his two females.
00:17:49To continue into this program,
00:17:50one goes on, one calls it a night here on LFG.
00:17:53Woo!
00:17:55Woo!
00:17:55Woo!
00:17:56Woo!
00:17:56Woo!
00:17:57Woo!
00:17:57Woo!
00:17:58Woo!
00:17:58Woo!
00:18:00Woo!
00:18:00Woo!
00:18:01Woo!
00:18:01Woo!
00:18:02This is the LFG Playoffs, ladies.
00:18:06One of you will be going home later on today.
00:18:10Well, I thought this was Tatiana's best performance.
00:18:14I always say you got to get those butterflies
00:18:17to line up and fly straight.
00:18:20Seemed like tonight you did that.
00:18:23Zina, we got to see a different side of you.
00:18:25We've seen you shine.
00:18:27It was nice to see you fight from underneath
00:18:29and have to overcome something.
00:18:31So well done.
00:18:31You know who you're going to pick?
00:18:33I'm very happy, and I'm a little disappointed.
00:18:42But this has become a very tough decision today.
00:18:46Okay, whatever happens happens.
00:18:47Regardless, I told you, I'm one of the hottest workers in the room, and I can respect losing
00:19:02to that.
00:19:03I will not, I will not lose to someone who doesn't do half of what you do.
00:19:07I guess that.
00:19:08I guess that he's disappointed in Zina.
00:19:10I guess that he's disappointed in Zina.
00:19:11Um, uh, yeah.
00:19:15So am I though, so.
00:19:17Why?
00:19:18Why?
00:19:19Just, I know how much of a dream this is.
00:19:23It's just equally as much of a dream for Tati as it is for me.
00:19:27Um, and if I put myself in her shoes, how would I feel?
00:19:30Like, what could I have done for Tatiana to, like, for us to have that chemistry that we
00:19:38needed in order for us to deliver the match that Bubba had in mind for us?
00:19:42Um, and I guess that piece was just missing, so, yeah.
00:19:49While Zina second guesses her performance, Panina Tualepa and Lee Laurel prepare themselves
00:19:54for their elimination match.
00:19:56Different order.
00:19:57Maybe a lucky love.
00:20:00Here, Nina.
00:20:01I hope she doesn't hold back, and I won't hold back, because I know she wants it as much
00:20:06as I do.
00:20:08We're gonna have one hell of a match.
00:20:10I just know that.
00:20:11Lee already knows.
00:20:12I said my saris.
00:20:13She's gonna get her ass whooped.
00:20:15This right here is for me.
00:20:16I just gotta go get it.
00:20:19When we return, Team Booker's Panina Tualepa steps into the ring and goes one-on-one with
00:20:24Lee Laurel.
00:20:25And later, The Undertaker faces a tough decision.
00:20:29I've got an Olympic gold medalist, and I have somebody who I feel is gonna change the face
00:20:36of women's wrestling.
00:20:37We are back on LFG.
00:20:38It is playoff atmosphere for the women.
00:20:39Hey, nasty.

00:21:41play because she's a cosplayer you know there's a lot on the line tonight jeremy and it it just
00:21:48has to be hard for these coaches who have got to know all their individual athletes on a personal
00:21:53level and they know tonight for one of these women from each team they get trimmed they get
00:22:00eliminated their dreams are dashed the end of a journey and the continuation of another for one
00:22:08of these individuals going on to the semi-finals here at lmg will be huge for their career obviously
00:22:14the journey is the story he nasty and nina has had such a journey you've seen her come so far
00:22:20in such a short time during the course of this program and that's what this is about the journey
00:22:25to the top give me some action give me some action again not all about wins and losses it's about
00:22:34impressing the legends who are the judges here tonight the winner when it's all said and done
00:22:39will earn an nxt contract awarded to them jb by none other than sean michaels the heartbreak kid sean
00:22:46michaels will be awarding that contract for a man and a woman at the end of the season tonight one of
00:22:53these two females from each team will be eliminated by their legend oh nice roll through by lee laurel
00:22:59and let's not forget it was laurel who started this whole journey off strong winning the first point
00:23:04for team booker damn good job she's looking real confident tonight look at the look at the balance
00:23:11look at the body like oh look at the poster where's it been look at the poster right there
00:23:16beautiful poster beautiful somebody give me a camera
00:23:18funny big power for p nasty oh whoa whoa whoa now i definitely know who her coach is no selling
00:23:33bro that didn't hurt her that didn't hurt her i can tell i didn't hurt her i can tell sometimes you
00:23:39got to take the pain you got to take the pain i'm just thinking to somebody you gave somebody a back
00:23:45suplex and they didn't sell i think they probably sell the next thing you give them i'm just guessing
00:23:50i'm just guessing this is like sitting at the monitor backstage and listening to the conversations
00:23:56that go on and you're getting a front row seat to that here on lmg from the undertaker and booker t
00:24:01booker t could sell a ketchup popsicle to a woman in white gloves but pain nasty from behind
00:24:06now showing her power and that nasty side of her huge personality quickly has drawn the attention to
00:24:14the legends of what she can do the potential she could have and some say that since the start of
00:24:20this she will be the one to earn the contract canina does some things sometimes her instincts
00:24:27are the instincts are are there she just needs to look at it yeah this is like that yeah like the
00:24:33mechanics but her her nastiness it does come through it just needs to uh yeah it's coming
00:24:40to come through a little harder in the mechanics and jeremy you're talking about being nasty somebody who
00:24:45truly loves to fight she sure does and this journey has been incredible to watch here on lmg oh
00:24:56look at that see that's that's true that's true aggression right there
00:25:00you know we didn't see that out of her in the beginning this is something that's
00:25:05been a part of the journey this is part of the growth is seeing how she has developed right before
00:25:10our very own eyes week after week here on lfg that's what is so unique about legends and future
00:25:16greats as we are in the playoffs and referee right now the official checking on lee laurel and
00:25:23again we've seen anything can happen in these matches here on lfg and lee laurel right now just trying to
00:25:29hang on for dear life but p nasty having none of it
00:25:36we're going in there do something to her
00:25:41well that's part of the journey of lfg seeing these athletes at the beginning stages of their
00:25:45career bumps bruises mistakes and all you're seeing it and how they react to the criticism or the journey
00:25:53the enlightenment given to them by the legends and how they implement that knowledge into their matches
00:25:57is really the fascinating process to watch here on lmg great dropkick by lee laurel taking p nasty down
00:26:03to one knee following up with a second finally taking p nasty off her feet and lee laurel right now
00:26:09is cooking and you can say that the wrestling part is starting to slow down once the bell rings high
00:26:16across body and a big win for lee laurel here is your winner you can see growth i i mean that's honestly
00:26:27this is the biggest you can see yeah i'm still disappointed though yeah i mean i think it's
00:26:36extremely 50 50 on that it's rough but there's i don't know there's definitely a lot of things were
00:26:43awash in my mind i see something in penina she is again it's just like you said it's a mechanics thing
00:26:52right now big decision looming for booker t booker t booker t said that was the real main event man
00:27:09bubble ray did that feel like a main event to you the words that came to mind watching you were smoke
00:27:16in mirrors there was something about what you were both doing in the ring that created this this aura
00:27:22this spectacle to me and i think at the beginning it was about the difference in the gear but you both
00:27:29looked so different in your gear you immediately got my attention lee is your gear like inspired by a
00:27:36video game so it was inspired by an anime sailor moon good job i love the gear on both of you
00:27:42um i would say the one thing about cosplaying is are you trying to be the superstar or is sailor moon
00:27:49the superstar i am exactly so don't i get it and i think this is a common thing a lot of girls do this
00:27:58the cosplay and i get it but at the same time you're the superstar and you don't you you want to sell
00:28:04your merchandise today i saw incredible growth from both of you and that's the most important thing
00:28:10penina also said this about you you have you have really incredible instincts heel instincts which
00:28:18is invaluable and the match was what it was uh one of you you guys are going to be going home
00:28:28but the uh one thing um you can take away from this is all good things come to an end that don't
00:28:33mean it's over and i do got a really really hard decision to make and uh it's something i i got to
00:28:39really think about really really hard
00:28:50oh thank you for letting me kick you of course i could tell she wasn't holding back those kicks
00:28:55to the back those felt pretty real
00:29:00if this is one of our last matches we want to go out with the bangs feeling good feeling righteous
00:29:05the show required us to be put under pressure and i think i'm one of one so i'm big p i am pressure
00:29:12two matches down and two more to go both tyra may steel and bailey humphrey ready themselves for
00:29:19the biggest match of their young careers you're gonna make me so wide my mindset is let go and let
00:29:26god i am no stranger to having to go out there and wrestle friends once we step in to the squared circle
00:29:35it is do or die and i am doing the mindset i have for today is lay everything out on the table this is
00:29:44it this could be my last chance in the ring on lfg i have to just give everything i have and that's
00:29:49what i plan to do we are back on lfg it is playoff atmosphere for the women this looks impressive
00:30:00already they already look like they belong on tv teammates all right one team one dream
00:30:08the undertaker has a decision to make at the end of this which one stays which one goes home
00:30:15on this journey to an nxt contract awarded by sean michaels at the end of the season to one male
00:30:20and one female here on lfg
00:30:26mood just changed
00:30:30things just got real in here yeah it certainly didn't we keep talking about the women here
00:30:34playoff atmosphere for them it's next week here on lfg the men will take center stage as the
00:30:40playoffs begin for all of them but right now i mean for this is quite the matchup jb when you
00:30:47really take a look at the body of work of both these athletes this is going to be a tough decision
00:30:54for the undertaker certainly is and this is one of those matchups where you go you know maybe years
00:30:59from now we'll look back on this as a monumental moment in the early stages of their careers
00:31:04bailey humphrey certainly a physical specimen that is really unique to this industry tyra may
00:31:10steal olympic gold medalist they're in the ring together oh it's all right come on
00:31:18this is what both these athletes have learned throughout lfg is how to deal with certain
00:31:23situations how to capitalize on someone's mistakes how to stay calm under pressure and the pressure has
00:31:29not been higher than right here and right now for these two athletes let's not forget that the
00:31:34journey to the the main roster to your raw to your smackdown it takes years years and years to get
00:31:41there some do it a little faster than others but the fact is these athletes are put in a position now
00:31:46in just a matter of weeks to have to excel and accelerate their own careers their trajectory
00:31:52and what will leave an nxt contracted wrestler from this program that's lmg bailey humphrey tyra may
00:32:01steal fighting it out to see who goes on here in the lmg playoffs still doing the wise thing but look at
00:32:06humphrey just pulling up the gold medalist she certainly has all the tools to leave a mark in this sport
00:32:15oh well steel able to turn things around pretty much for them friendly hugs yeah the friendliness
00:32:25certainly out the window when it comes to this matchup when it comes to an nxt contract this
00:32:30steel who came into this entire thing it's hard to argue wasn't the early favorite from team undertaker
00:32:35her road though has gotten rocky over the last few weeks and she just got caught trying to break out and
00:32:40really now trying to control the body of her opponent there's some of that aggression coming out of
00:32:49steel we've seen that coaching from the underdicker we've seen that need that want for that aggression
00:32:54to come out from tyra may steal it is certainly manifesting itself here in this matchup so far but
00:32:59look at bailey humphrey look at the strength can't she power her way to the ropes and get out of this
00:33:05so i think i thought that bailey was the heel they're both heels how about that i like it
00:33:17they're fighting for something yeah fighting for that contract and look who's the undertaker who has
00:33:22said more than once he doesn't see that killer instinct when the bell rings for steel he might be changing his tune
00:33:34oh nice okay
00:33:45you gotta lay that in but that's good that's a good spot you gotta lay it in though
00:33:49you know one thing we gotta remember and kind of remind everyone of the undertaker operates at one
00:33:53level at one level only and that is with excellence everything he does he never goes at anything half
00:33:59fast there's no question about it and his coaching his guidance through this thing he is fully invested
00:34:04i dare say more so than anyone else on the legends panel he takes this seriously to a different level
00:34:12you gotta wonder what's going through his mind is i'm sure it's going back and forth because he has a
00:34:16huge decision to make for the future for the career for the livelihood of one of these two women into
00:34:21the cover for steel hook of the leg and a kick out again playoff atmosphere one woman will advance
00:34:27one woman's dreams come to an abrupt end here tonight that decision looming later on as these
00:34:35two continue to go back and forth when you're a gold medal winner you get compared to kurt angle and right
00:34:39now that ankle lock is cinched in deep on humphrey and we have not seen this sort of pain etched on
00:34:47humphrey's face or haven't seen humphrey in this sort of position since the beginning of this lfg journey
00:34:54well let's not forget she's a true rookie she started the show just a week after signing here
00:34:58at the performance center so she started from jump just absolutely from the very beginning and we've
00:35:03seen that progress and look at how comfortable she's already in the ring at this stage of the show
00:35:09steel back to her feet you know some issues from the legends about steel has been the toughness has been
00:35:16able to protect her toughness at times she just got caught though looking for that massive choke slam going
00:35:22back down trying to break that vertical base charging in uh-oh in a massive sidewalk slam
00:35:32again bailey humphrey's showing up you know a lot of experience for the fact is she's only been in
00:35:37here a few weeks now very i mean just absolutely incredible if you think about it will the third
00:35:42time be the charm with the undertaker looking on massive choke slam oh that's it oh cover cover
00:35:55match continues oh she's going over the finish
00:36:05undertaker looking on and there's the strength with the knee given out steel who has done all the damage
00:36:11to the lower body goes back to another submission jb and there really is a lot of torque and crank and
00:36:17humphrey has no choice but to tap here is your winner by submission tyra may
00:36:26sale well they want to advance but overall i have to say an undertaker has to be pleased with the
00:36:33performances of his tyra may steel and bailey humphrey but a decision still looms from the undertaker
00:36:41who goes home who advances because it's playoff time here on lfg
00:36:59they are teammates after all oh wait a minute not so fast look at this bailey having the last word
00:37:05come on jb so much for teammates yeah see you later alligator
00:37:20all from the feel-good butterflies to seeing that what is on the mind of the phenom
00:37:27with the decision looming here on lfg
00:37:30undertaker both ladies showed up and showed out for your team unfortunately someone will be sent
00:37:38home packing today will it be bailey humphrey will it be tyra may steel wow i can say that you guys
00:37:47walked out here and you both look like you belong on television already bailey uh if you look really on
00:37:54point um here tonight um tyra same thing both you guys did really really awesome job
00:38:00you guys did amazing you guys told me a story
00:38:06you guys told me a story that neither one of you want to go home
00:38:09and you made my decision extremely difficult well done great job ladies thank you legends
00:38:24you guys thank you thank you it was fun tyra and bailey they freaking killed it you're just sitting
00:38:36there like wondering how these judges are going to decide on who gets sent home i would hate to be in
00:38:42that position when i landed i went oh that hurt i haven't felt that the entire time i've been here
00:38:48yeah in two years that was fun like that was fun that was effing awesome balls to the wall
00:38:54this is the most pressure that i have felt in two years i've been here i just felt really good about it
00:39:01and like when the match was done i was not selling i was like mother of everything that is holy
00:39:09oh my back honestly that performance out there was the best one i think i've ever done that was
00:39:18the best wrestling match i've had hands down i think i gave taker another reason to think about me
00:39:23it's the last match of the day and the expectations weigh heavily on danny sekelski and serena linton
00:39:34confidence is everything and if you believe in yourself then it shows out there
00:39:39you'll feel my heart you'll feel my passion she's not my teammate anymore she's competition
00:39:48you just said something you're nervous why are you nervous i think the women have already
00:39:51started to set the bar high so we're last and we got to go out with the bank it's all or nothing today
00:40:05the following contest is scheduled for one fall
00:40:08we got to go out with the ball introducing first representing team mickey chafes from phoenix arizona
00:40:23well for linton she certainly has made a uh real run as they would say over the last few weeks
00:40:29here on lfg but can she keep it up all right serena let's see what you got baby girl all right serena
00:40:38all right serena she's really coming out of her shell yes she definitely is definitely yeah
00:40:52oh we got props we got props
00:41:08outside of steel this woman was the other early lfg standout this is an interesting thing because this is
00:41:15a team sport with individual outcomes you have to work together obviously you need to create
00:41:21something with your opponent and so much at stake on an individual basis that makes things a little
00:41:26bit more complicated the playoffs mean one woman goes on one woman goes home at the end of this mickey
00:41:32james to make that decision a little bit of a stalemate between these two women here tonight
00:41:45oh the gear the the red and blue gear on each one of them looks so good yeah
00:41:50a little wrestling a little wrestling chain wrestling going on here yeah let's not forget serena linton
00:42:03entered this competition from week one with zero experience pretty impressive how far she's coming
00:42:09rough ain't counting it shoulders are not down you know same can be said for who we saw earlier tonight
00:42:15that being bailey humphrey and that's what the the beauty of lfg has been is all these individuals are
00:42:22almost like lumps of clay that have been molded by these legends but they've been molded and they've
00:42:28created this environment here on lfg and they've created these bonds these relationships but these
00:42:33legends now have to make a decision they got to look into the ring not only the women this week but the
00:42:38men next week and they have to dash some dreams they have to kill some hopes for one of these women and a
00:42:44man next week to go home which will be eliminated here in the playoffs well at the end of the day
00:42:50only one can win the contract one male one female delivered by sean michaels we will see that at the
00:42:56end of the season cross body cover kick out but so far it's such a showing and really such advancement
00:43:02we're seeing along the journey for each of these future greats you can see it ripping the hair serena
00:43:10just look at serena in the confidence that she brings to the ring now compared to the first time we
00:43:14saw her i believe it was in week four now as we continue down this journey she looks confident
00:43:19is ever going in there and that's just over the span of what two months now they're covering it
00:43:24another kick out we brought up bailey humphrey we've seen serena's into another cover and humphrey
00:43:29have talked about and bonded over their gymnastics background that's something else here in lfg when
00:43:33we talk about the backgrounds of all these individual athletes serena being gymnastics for danny it's being
00:43:38cheerleading and right now able to counter shoulders down in another near fall when you're a d1 athlete
00:43:44when you're at the top of your game you're already at a discipline you're already at a set regimen of
00:43:49how you train and how you are successful in it transfer that now to this industry that is the challenge
00:43:55i'm breaking in and breaking through mickey james huge decision still to come linton in control is she the
00:44:01one to advance here on lfg
00:44:06back on lfg playoffs continuing modified bronco buster she likes that bronco buster
00:44:13little buster yeah b-u-s-t-a-h buster another cover another kick out for linton you know she really
00:44:21started to stand out amongst the women just go back to last week in the tag team matches it was
00:44:25someone you know very well the phenomenal one aj styles who singled her out serena's got a lot of
00:44:32natural end stakes just one listen you got a hard decision i'm just wondering if
00:44:41it's a little bit too late but in the past couple last two three weeks serena showed you
00:44:45more than i think showed us more all of us more than any you know i know
00:44:53danny started hot she cooled off a little bit because she was hurt yeah true true you know and i
00:44:59feel like she lost some of her momentum but danny has been here longer you know it's just that
00:45:04serena's very charismatic but she's very green you know
00:45:08we rolled for you yeah okay we talked about jv everything is under the microscope in this moment
00:45:18we're getting some great insight i get the feeling watching the legends throughout the course of this
00:45:22episode here in the playoffs as we're getting to the end of this process i feel like the legends are
00:45:27very proud of each of these future greats and how far they've come you're seeing measurable growth
00:45:32you see measurable confidence experience in that ring in a very short time and if you talk to some
00:45:38of the legends they would tell you that danny may need a little boost to her confidence as we're here
00:45:44in the playoffs but right now you can't slip you can't stutter you can't slow down you have to take
00:45:48all the training all the one-on-one sessions and really put it together to impress mickey james for
00:45:55these two women a bullfrog a bullfrog a bullfrog it's like the bulldog only small a bullfrog
00:46:05eddie segelski and serena linton doing a great job here showcasing their skills and knowing at the
00:46:11end of this that mickey james will have the decision to make who goes on to the semi-finals
00:46:21looking to take a high risk
00:46:22oh overshot overshot the landing
00:46:29did not pay off wait a minute trip cover hey wait oh by any means necessary
00:46:38here is your winner go figure one of your girls cheated to win
00:46:43that you suck that you suck back you suck that you suck back you suck back you suck eyes
00:46:48look at her face
00:46:49Faces it all, victory is her, Serena Litton, victorious here on LFG.
00:47:01That personality.
00:47:03Look.
00:47:04You're excited for your girl.
00:47:07She just made life difficult for you.
00:47:10Because going into this match, I think you had your mind made up.
00:47:12Now, not so much.
00:47:14I don't know, man.
00:47:15It's going to be a hard choice here.
00:47:16I kind of already...
00:47:17The fact is that they've all stepped up today.
00:47:21Every single one of these girls has stepped up in one way, shape, or form.
00:47:24Yeah.
00:47:25Big decisions still to come, and that moment is next.
00:47:30All right, all right.
00:47:32Book, what did you think about the match?
00:47:35I thought both you guys worked really, really hard in the beginning.
00:47:38Danny, I thought you were shoo-in and just run away with this thing,
00:47:41but it seemed like it's tightened up so much.
00:47:44It's a lot of pressure, and I think that's what it is.
00:47:46So, it's going to be a hard choice.
00:47:48Yeah.
00:47:49That was fun to watch.
00:47:51Who knew you were a heel?
00:47:54Well done, and I do not envy you one bit.
00:47:59Yeah.
00:47:59Because this is legitimately a close, close call.
00:48:06So, the boss just said, that was fun to watch.
00:48:12And I had a really fun time watching your match.
00:48:15Danny, I've been a fan of you and your look and the way you've come off since day one,
00:48:20and you know that.
00:48:20And Serena, you've won me over.
00:48:22And I think there's so much more to you.
00:48:25And yes, you have a very, very difficult choice.
00:48:31It was a fun, easy story, and girly, which I love, you know.
00:48:35Yeah, I was really proud of you.
00:48:36It is a tough decision, you know.
00:48:38It's a very hard decision that we all have to make today.
00:48:42I'm not looking forward to it, but I'm proud of you both.
00:48:46Great job.
00:48:47Before the eliminations start, the legends must choose which match earns this week's point.
00:48:56Who had the best match here today?
00:48:58Who stood out a little bit above the rest?
00:49:03Bubba Ray, I'm going to start with you.
00:49:06Bailey and Tyra, boom, done, see you, bye.
00:49:09Wow.
00:49:10Clean cut.
00:49:11Mickie James.
00:49:13Begrudgingly, I'm going to have to agree.
00:49:17I think out of all the matches, you guys told the best story.
00:49:19Everything was solid.
00:49:21Okay, Undertaker?
00:49:24I can't argue with these legends.
00:49:29Okay, Bayley and Tyra.
00:49:32Booker T, do you agree?
00:49:36I really want to say Tyra and Bayley.
00:49:39And the thing is, I'm going to say Tyra and Bayley.
00:49:44But I am going to put an asterisk by that.
00:49:50All right?
00:49:51That's all I'm going to say.
00:49:53What's the asterisk?
00:49:54Don't worry about that.
00:49:55Don't worry about that.
00:49:56We all know.
00:49:57We all know.
00:49:58We all know.
00:49:59That's all that needs to be said.
00:50:00Great job.
00:50:01You guys did a great job.
00:50:02Good job.
00:50:03Great job.
00:50:03Bravo.
00:50:04Encore.
00:50:05Bravo.
00:50:06Bravo.
00:50:06This s**t.
00:50:13Okay.
00:50:15Bayley and Tyra.
00:50:16With that, Undertaker is still in the lead.
00:50:20But there's still time.
00:50:24And with that, the moment has come.
00:50:28Someone is going home.
00:50:31Four will stay.
00:50:32Four have to pack their bags and leave LFG.
00:50:39The male future greats watch the eliminations backstage in the gym.
00:50:43We were faced with the reality that somebody's going home.
00:50:46So it raised the stakes a lot.
00:50:50Tatiana.
00:50:52Zina.
00:50:54Please step forward.
00:50:55Bubba Ray.
00:51:02Please step down.
00:51:04Here we go.
00:51:08I'm going to keep it really simple.
00:51:11Because from day one, I told all of you that this is a business to me.
00:51:17And I don't take things personally, nor should you take things personally.
00:51:21And I need you both to remember, and you all to remember, that it is a business.
00:51:26And you have to develop thick skin.
00:51:29I gave you both the opportunity to succeed today.
00:51:34And I think you both did succeed today.
00:51:37But I just think you succeeded a little bit too late.
00:51:40I asked you why you should stay, and you gave me a great answer.
00:51:50Because you said the right things, and you moved me.
00:51:53And you moved me again today.
00:51:56So, you get one of these.
00:52:00You get one of these.
00:52:02And you get one of these.
00:52:06But you got to go home.
00:52:07I do.
00:52:08Good job.
00:52:09Good luck.
00:52:09And with that, Zina, congratulations.
00:52:16You survived.
00:52:17Tatiana.
00:52:19Thanks, man.
00:52:19Great job.
00:52:20And best of luck.
00:52:29It's a mixed bag of emotions.
00:52:31You know, I agree with Bubba, which kind of, like, it's a little bit.
00:52:37But they're not tears of sadness.
00:52:40They're tears of passion.
00:52:42And this was a great way of showcasing just the beginning.
00:52:46Next up, Lee, Panina, please step forward.
00:52:57Booker T, please step down.
00:52:59All right, guys, tough choice.
00:53:08Tough choice.
00:53:09Tough choice.
00:53:09And I must say, I hate that we're here.
00:53:12We got to prepare to actually go out there and actually win.
00:53:16I thought both of you guys won tonight.
00:53:18But unfortunately, somebody's got to go home.
00:53:21I'm looking for the best professional wrestler.
00:53:24And I think the person who actually put forth the most effort tonight was Panina.
00:53:32Unfortunately, Lee is going to be going home tonight.
00:53:35But you did a great job.
00:53:36Thanks, Coach.
00:53:37Great job, Panina.
00:53:41Appreciate you.
00:53:43Good job.
00:53:44Thanks, Coach.
00:53:46With that, Panina, congratulations.
00:53:50You will be moving on to the semifinals.
00:53:53Lee, great job.
00:53:56Best of luck.
00:53:58Just appreciate you guys.
00:54:01This isn't the end.
00:54:03And you'll be seeing a lot of me later.
00:54:06Can't wait.
00:54:07I honestly feel okay.
00:54:17For once, I was just allowing myself to flow in the match and allow myself to enjoy every
00:54:25little bit of it.
00:54:26I'm so obsessed with this now.
00:54:29And I can't see my life going in any other direction.
00:54:33I will be a great pro wrestler one day.
00:54:36Tyra May, Bayley, please step forward.

00:59:23this entire season it's been a blessing of course i'm disappointed but
00:59:29i left it all out there and i think there's a lot in store for me
00:59:31in two weeks the lfg semi-final playoffs begin and this four becomes two one of you will be walking
00:59:47away with an nxt contract best of luck to all of you thank you legends thank you who wants this bad
00:59:57enough who's the better wrestler who's the better entertainer who's the better package who has the
01:00:02it factor who's gonna put asses in seats for nxt and the wwe it's time we find out
01:00:15okay
01:00:18my heart hurts my heart too like i hate having to pick that love you both i'm like i hate this
01:00:23honestly my first reaction when mickey had chosen me was that i just wanted to look at serena and say
01:00:31that she's amazing and that either one of us were equally deserving of the opportunity to move forward
01:00:40i'm going to win this thing for team mickey i'm so sorry i hated this i have a lot of faith in serena
01:00:48i think she's going to be a huge star and i think that if she gets tucked away for a little bit
01:00:53where she can work on her craft and really hone in she's going to be unstoppable your name will be
01:00:59up in lights i am a future great i will never not be a future great and someday i'll be a legend just
01:01:06like mickey james i think everyone is well aware of what's at stake now i think these eliminations
01:01:15gave everyone the wake-up call that they needed if they don't deliver that this dream is it comes to an
01:01:21end there was one legend that pulled me aside and
01:01:31to have him look me in the eyes and say you will be fine was all that i needed
01:01:37you've got a great future ahead of you this is just a stop along the way i need you to look at it
01:01:44like that it was such a pleasure to be a part of this but the elimination from lfg is what is going
01:01:51to stoke a fire for the rest of the journey as a pro wrestler we got something to fight for now we got
01:01:58something to really really focus on because we're all driven we all want to win
01:02:09danny tyra may steel xena sterling you guys are not on the same level as me y'all gonna have to come
01:02:17get your issue for real because p nasty is not here to play baby winning this nxt contract would be an
01:02:25absolute dream it is something that little xena has dreamed of from 17 years old i think that's
01:02:32what i meant to do the journey that's coming ahead shows me that it all happened for a reason and that
01:02:38door is opening for me i have what it takes to overcome every single obstacle that stands in my way
01:02:47it's no shade to any of the other contenders but it's tms that is going to be on that stage
01:02:59while the final four prepare for the semi-final round one of the eliminated
01:03:03future greats has her eyes set firmly on the future
01:03:06what does the future hold for bailey humphrey honestly it's endless there's no limit
01:03:21i see myself standing in the ring with thousands of people around me chanting
01:03:25no limit
01:03:29her dedication her athleticism in all shines through bailey humphrey victorious here on lmg
