00:00LSU, LSU, LSU!
00:02LSU, LSU, LSU!
00:04Zina Sterling against Serena Linton.
00:07Live up to your potential.
00:10I need you to step up your game.
00:12Harlan Lewis takes on sexy V.J. Ray.
00:15I'm off right now.
00:17I have the effector.
00:18Panina Tualepa goes head-to-head against Bailey Humphrey.
00:21She's a big girl. She's a strong girl. It doesn't scare me.
00:25And in our main event, it's Shiloh Hill versus Anthony Liu.
00:29This is Marshall!
00:31Once the bell rings, we're going to find out who the top dogs really are in LFT.
00:41At the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida.
00:45Are you supposed to put your chin up or like to the side?
00:48You're supposed to not be afraid.
00:50It's been a few days since WWE legend Bubba Ray Dudley exploded and walked off the set.
00:55It's obvious what's going on right now.
01:00This seems like one big conspiracy here.
01:04Because that's the front runner and we all know it.
01:10Come here.
01:12They have it out for you.
01:16Can Bubba be hot-headed?
01:19Absolutely.
01:21I'll tell the whole room to go f*** itself if I have to.
01:24That's the third time they voted the same way.
01:29What, really?
01:31Bulls***!
01:33Sabotage!
01:34Collusion!
01:35Conspiracy!
01:36They know damn well that Xena is the one to beat.
01:43Here's what's going on.
01:45Xena showed more fire in that match than she ever had.
01:53Yes, Kanina did well.
01:55But more than Xena, absolutely frickin' not.
01:58Here's the problem.
01:59We expect it from Xena.
02:03Try to tell me I'm wrong.
02:07What, really?
02:08Yeah, I would walk off too.
02:11That's laughable.
02:13Wow.
02:14So Bubba storms off.
02:15Don't know where he goes.
02:16And all I'm thinking is like, we gotta put some big boy britches on.
02:20He refuses to see that anybody else could possibly take the place of his milk to good Xena.
02:28He refuses to see that Kanina is the front runner.
02:31He refuses to see that she has the potential to win this entire thing.
02:44Welcome to the Ultimate Proving Ground.
02:4716 Future Greats.
02:49Let's go.
02:50When they ask who did her best, who will they mention?
02:52Yes, bro.
02:53The evolution from a future.
02:54Four legends.
02:55He is the epitome of Wrestlemania!
02:58Aim high, you better aim hard, because I'ma do whatever it takes.
03:01Beaver!
03:03Get the table!
03:05Can you dig that sucker?
03:08A chance to win an NXT contract.
03:12Every legend has a first chapter.
03:15The future starts now.
03:17Future Greats.
03:18New election.
03:22Morning at the WWE Performance Center finds Serena Linton in medical.
03:27Why didn't we do confessionals with you last week?
03:29Because I was choked unconscious.
03:32Bailey put me in a gorilla press and all I remember is not being able to breathe and then slowly just fading to black.
03:43It was really scary.
03:44I've never blacked out before, so I was more so than anything just shaken up and really confused on what just happened.
03:51I've never experienced anything like that in my life.
03:54After I got choked unconscious, I was really uncertain of what was going to happen moving forward, whether I was going to be able to return to wrestling or not.
04:03I got notified the morning of our matches that I had to go see medical and they cleared me.
04:12I was really excited because I didn't want to be held back and I didn't want this to stop the momentum that I've been having this season.
04:19What's everybody doing today?
04:25There is a lot to cover.
04:28Oh my goodness.
04:29Injuries are clearly a big part of this.
04:34I believe, uh, Bubba, you, uh, have had an incident now with Elijah Holyfield.
04:40Our medical team will let us know what the future looks like.
04:45Elijah Holyfield is injured and we don't know when he's coming back.
04:51What does this mean?
04:52It means that the weight of the world is now on Zena Sterling.
04:57Can't put it all on BJ.
05:00BJ is, I don't even know the right words.
05:05Injuries happen, bro.
05:07It is what it is.
05:08It doesn't really affect team Bubba.
05:11You got sexy BJ Ray still here, baby.
05:13Come on now.
05:15It's the halfway point of the season.
05:17Shawn Michaels wants to know who the two top dogs are on LFG.
05:21That's what this is going to be about.
05:24After your legends pick top man, top woman on their team,
05:32those individuals will have matches to determine who is top man or woman in this group.
05:45So, at this point, Booker T, give me one man, give me one woman.
05:50You're putting me on the spot.
05:52Everything's always a test.
05:54So, uh, so I gotta go with harm.
05:56I knew this is something I want to do for the rest of my life and I want to be on the main events of every single PLE, not just NXT I'm talking about.
06:03I want to be up at SmackDown and Raw and then go to WrestleMania, SummerSlam.
06:06For the ladies, it gotta be Serena.
06:09She's a winner.
06:10Bubba, your team is one person short.
06:15Who are you picking on the ladies first?
06:17So, Xena is my front runner for the ladies.
06:20By default, BJ is my guy right now.
06:23Let's go, coach. Let's go.
06:25Brayden has so much potential.
06:26Yes, he's, you know, kind of an ass , but he is the kind of character and the kind of superstar that people will pay money to see get beat up.
06:35No, Sherlock. I've been putting the team on my back ever since I started this entire competition, bro.
06:42So, you know what I'm gonna do? I'm just gonna keep doing what I do.
06:46I'll keep it short. My top man, top woman at this point is P. Nasty and Anthony Luke.
06:53Being the top guy right now, this is just the beginning for me. This is my story and it's my job to finish it.
07:00Everybody needs to dial in for sure.
07:02Shiloh Bailey.
07:05It was cool to hear that, you know, he sees me and Bailey as the two top dogs on the team and that's a good indication of things moving forward.
07:12So, I wanna try to do everything I can do to remain in that spot.
07:17I'm pretty pissed off, if I'm being completely honest.
07:19I'm not trying to take away from Bailey's abilities whatsoever.
07:22I know that she's a freak athlete, but at the end of the day, I'm the only woman on our team that has received a unanimous point from all of the legends.
07:29So, I'm not gonna let it happen again.
07:32All right.
07:34Right now, that's where we're at in the middle of the season.
07:37Those of you that did not get picked understand this, and you know it.
07:42We're only halfway there.
07:44So, good luck and tear it down.
07:45I'm kind of getting a little frustrated with all of them.
07:56Really?
07:57Why?
07:59Know it all?
08:00I watch his body language, you know.
08:02Talking?
08:03Yeah, you think he's got this deal, you know.
08:06You think he can really do it.
08:07Look how he's talking.
08:08I don't need to take the slow route, I wanna be fast-tracked to the top.
08:13And if this gets to a certain point where I feel like it's starting to screw with my own career, then I think I'm gonna have to just take the reins on it.
08:20When you're in the ring, it's a fight.
08:21That was my thought process with the beginning of it.
08:23So that we can get, establish who he is, establish who I am, before we even get into his shine.
08:29If it was Bubba and I, I think Bubba and I would do it totally differently.
08:36Damn it, I'm the damn general on this team.
08:41You're a soldier.
08:43You're private.
08:45Right now.
08:46In this wrestling business, everything is a test.
08:50Everything, okay?
08:51While Booker T tries to find common ground with Harlem Lewis,
08:58Bubba Ray Dudley comes to the realization on why Zena Sterling hasn't scored a point this season.
09:03Collusion, conspiracy, I can sit here and I can say that.
09:09I can also make a case for Zena resting on her laurels, which I don't wanna do.
09:16Here's the problem.
09:17Who is Zena supposed to get better with?
09:22And that's the issue with Zena right now.
09:25She's too damn good.
09:29Rough spot.
09:31I gotta get her through it.
09:33Live up to your potential.
09:37How are you getting to the finals?
09:41How do you prove them all wrong?
09:47Stepping up my game.
09:51You better really step up your game.
09:54Zena Sterling!
09:58They really thought they'd seen the last of me.
10:01Pathetic!
10:03I'd wrestle in a cast.
10:04I'd wrestle with one like hell.
10:06I'd crawl through that ring if I had to.
10:08I feared nothing!
10:10And to anybody who doubts what this little ball of spice is capable of, choke on it.
10:19Back out in Legends and Future Greats, Vic Joseph alongside the legend himself, Jeremy Borash.
10:33We're talking about Sweeney Linton and that scary situation that unfolded a few weeks ago.
10:37I kind of want to get your thoughts on where do you think her headspace is at.
10:42Beautiful work.
10:44Beautiful work there.
10:45Beautiful work.
10:47Look at that.
10:48Look at that.
10:49Nice.
10:50Nice arm.
10:51Look at that arm bar.
10:53Nice.
10:54Look at the body placement, the movement.
10:55I'm loving this.
11:00Beautiful work.
11:02Beautiful work.
11:03Certainly after what we've seen between these two individuals and the legends and their involvement.
11:09A lot of confidence for Serena Linton, but after what we've seen with Booker and his backing of Serena Linton as a talent,
11:18he really has his eyes set as a possibility that she can win it all and she's in a good place to do so.
11:22Shoulders are down and remember here on LFG, not about wins and losses, it's all about getting a point.
11:27Let's be honest, those points I was talking about are very valuable to not only the athletes in the ring, but also the coaches.
11:47Because anytime Booker gets a point, he lets you, your cousin, your brother, your brother's girlfriend, your sister's brother, everybody knows about it.
11:54Well, one thing about Booker T, he's very, well, he's forthright, he's honest about his opinions on his talent.
11:59He's very, you know, if you're going to have a coach in this, if you're going to have a legend to back you, you're going to want Booker T because he's all in, he's invested, and he'll talk the talk on your behalf.
12:09Whereas somebody like The Undertaker, he puts in the hours, he puts in the time, hands-on training that we've seen.
12:15Well, that's a whole different story.
12:17Did you just call Booker lazy?
12:18A lot of them don't kick out with their legs, they kick out with their shoulders, they don't use their legs to kick out.
12:26Bubba's one of those guys, though, he'll fight, he'll go to battle, he'll go to war to prove that not only are you his student, his prize people, you're his.
12:33And, you know, he's certainly been that way with Zeno since the get-go.
12:37Well, I'm glad you bring that up because another cover, shoulders down one more time, another near fall.
12:41I don't know if it's over the last few days of being around him, but is Bubba starting to recognize that maybe Zeno is hosting, if you will, here on LFG?
12:48I think the problem with Zeno this season has been a lot of people had so many high hopes for her, so many different ways that she can achieve greatness,
12:57that the bar has been raised to a level that maybe even she can't even meet.
13:00And look, Bubba's trying to push her to do more, whether it's on the offense or right now as she's on the defense, trying to create a little bit of separation.
13:07Do you think she should be farther ahead than some others here on LFG?
13:13Follow through with those, come on.
13:15You know what, I think this whole thing, this whole process is alerting her, and as we've seen...
13:19Stop selling your shoulders.
13:21That's exactly what I mean.
13:23You're right, you're right, you're a thousand percent right.
13:26She's a student of the game, there's no question about it.
13:29She studies tape, she knows her stuff.
13:32She's studying great British wrestlers, you've seen that style implemented.
13:36Zena Sterling is evolving as we speak.
13:39So is Serena Linton going up high risk, nobody home, coming right back around.
13:43Church of the world asked from Sterling into the cover.
13:47Deep hook of the leg, and Zena Sterling picks up the W.
13:51Here is your winner, Zena Sterling!
14:00Can we work with that? Like, why are you selling your shoulders so far wrong?
14:03Yeah, yeah.
14:05Serena Linton.
14:07One of the breakout stars this year.
14:09Stop them.
14:10Yeah.
14:12Not only among the coaches in the ring, but also on social media.
14:16She keeps going back to the shoulder, and when we talked about it earlier, she's like,
14:19you're right, I have to stop doing it.
14:21Undertaker told me the same thing, but she instinctually went back to it today.
14:25Zena may have won, but who will earn the point on LFG?
14:30I want to make Bubba proud. I want to, you know, like, obviously he was very upset with me today and how I've been performing.
14:43I need you to step up your game. I need you to do better.
14:46I need you to be what you know you can be, and that wrestling fans who want to support you know, look at my eyes.
14:57Don't look away. Looking away is a sign of weakness.
15:00I absolutely feel pressure, yes, because this is my dream, as everyone knows from season one.
15:08I'm so grateful to be in a situation with pressure, because pressure is what makes a superstar.
15:12It's what makes a diamond, and I know I can become that.
15:15I have a lot to prove. When I came in here, I got a point in my first match, and I was expecting to get points in every single one of my matches.
15:28I know what I need to do to look good, and I know what I need to work on, so I'm going to make sure I get that in.
15:32But at the same time, you've got to be able to tell a story, and you've got to be able to work with anyone.
15:36It doesn't matter who it is.
15:37We kind of had a little bit of a difficult time putting the match together.
15:40You've got to think that this is the first time anybody has ever seen you guys.
15:43That's the way I need you. I could be wrong. I could be wrong.
15:47You're not wrong.
15:48I wouldn't do it, okay? I'm just saying.
15:51I was starting to get a little frustrated, but it doesn't matter, because at the end of the day, all that matters is the point,
15:56so I'm just going to do exactly what I need to do to get that point.
15:59You've got to get the cat-cows in and make sure you're warmed up.
16:01Especially when you wrestle tomorrow, let me know what I'm saying.
16:04What's happening?
16:05Yes, sir!
16:06Hey, you already know, baby.
16:08Bubba ain't got no choice now but to get behind the number one player, the number one guy in the locker room,
16:11the number one guy on his team.
16:13Sucks for Holyfield, but hey, that's the name of the game.
16:15I got hurt last year. I got hurt last season.
16:17I might get knocked off the horse, but I get right back on the saddle right away,
16:20and now Bubba has no choice but to get on that horse, bro.
16:23who went on that horse.
16:25I got hurt last year.
16:26Come on, boys.
16:27Let's go, boys.
16:28Come on!
16:30Yeah, let's hear it now.
16:32Where's the joke?
16:33Where's the joke?
16:34Where's the joke?
16:35Come on, the game, sir!
16:36What's going on?
16:37What's going on?
16:38You want to wrestle?
16:39Come on.
16:40You can!
16:41Come on!
16:42get it, man.
16:44You gotta hit the..
16:45You have polar opposites right here in the middle of the race.
16:47If you lock it up,
16:48Wygląda na to, że nie jest bardziej różni od siebie z jednej strony, z jednej strony.
16:53Harlem-Lewis jest w kontrolÄ™ teraz.
16:55Wyglądał się o Booker.
16:56Wyglądał się, że o Booker-Ti z powrotem.
16:58To najważniejsze frustracie z Harlem, co wiem, co mam zimno.
17:01Zobaczmy, że chcemy się zainteresować.
17:05Harlem-Lewis jest w kontrolÄ™ B.J. Ray na LFG.
17:12Właśnie do LFG.
17:13B.J. Ray now w kontrolÄ™ Harlem-Lewis.
17:18KONIEC, dlatego...

17:45Wydaje się, że jest.
17:47Booker G. ma sensu, że frustracja jako coach
17:50do widocznego potencjału.
17:52I jedna rzecz, że Booker jest pokazem
17:54przez czasem na LFG, jest że
17:56jest zresztÄ… patience,

18:40na B.J. Rai
18:41B.J. Wray, he feels more comfortable on the other side of the coin.
18:44That is being a heel, instead of being a face.
18:48Well, one thing about B.J. is he's himself.
18:50And that inherently, I think, would be a heel.
18:53That's true, that's true.
18:54I think if you look at anybody who meets this man, you go,
18:56this guy is not likable at all.
18:58It's a quality, believe it or not.
19:00See the legends continuing to look on at this matchup.
19:03Big right hand there from Wray.
19:05B.J. Wray trying to charge in.
19:08Dear God.
19:09Why? He's not running through those.
19:11There is no impact.
19:15As I mentioned before, I mean, all the opposites.
19:17You see so much intensity from Harlem Lewis.
19:19Maybe you're not seeing that right now with B.J. Wray.
19:21You saw that bulldog, and now let's maybe see now
19:24something from B.J. Wray.
19:28Too much.
19:30Too small.
19:33Cover. Kick out.
19:35I feel like he's got to do something about that.
19:38You need to get rid of him.
19:39He's hitting the ropes way too much.
19:42Looking for the suplex now is Wray.
19:47Gotta wonder what's going through these competitors' minds, too.
19:50And back to Harlem Lewis, trying to turn things around in this matchup
19:53with a massive suplex.
19:55Wait a minute.
19:56Counter.
19:57Inside fatal.
19:58B.J. Wray got him.
19:59Here's your winner.
20:00B.J. Wray.
20:01Woo.
20:02Again, not about wins and losses.
20:03What's going through the mind of our legends?
20:04What's going through the mind of our Hall of Famers here tonight on LFG?
20:05Was it good enough for B.J. Wray to earn a point?
20:07Because it's not about the wins and the losses, whether it's for the men or the women.
20:11Big decisions still to come here tonight.
20:12I can do whatever I want to do, because they love me so much.
20:13I have the ability to get out of these challenges because I don't think that.
20:14It's just getting up to me in the fall for my life.
20:15It's getting up.
20:16I'm just waiting for him to jump to the Giants of the Games.
20:17And he's seeing me in the afternoon.
20:18I'm just waiting for them.
20:19And what's going through the mind of our legends?
20:20What's going through the mind of our Hall of Famers here tonight on LFG?
20:21Was it good enough for B.J. Wray to earn a point?
20:22Because it's not about the wins or the losses,
20:23whether it's for the men or the women?
20:25Big decisions still to come here tonight.
20:26It's not what we do.
20:28It's what we do.
20:29It's what we do.
20:31I can do whatever I want to do, because they love me so much.
20:40I have the effector. I'm that guy.
20:43Bubba's kind of a douche.
20:44Bro's actually the epitome of the worst coach of all time.
20:47But at the end of the day, I think the future's good for Team Bubba.
20:51He's got sexy BJ Ray, baby.
20:54That's it. That's it.
20:56While BJ Ray celebrates his victory, his opponent must face the hard truth that tonight, he came up short.
21:05Harlan, what happened out there?
21:08For me personally, I know what I've got to work on.
21:10It's like, I'm f***ing pissed off right now, and I'm stuff that I'll talk to Booker about.
21:14I mean, we're f***ing eight weeks in, and I'm clearly, I guess, not on the same page.
21:19So it's just something that, like, we're going to have to get sorted out.
21:21While Harlem Lewis obsesses over what could have been, Undertaker and his wife Michelle McCool
21:30take a moment to motivate their teams, because once the bell rings tonight, they'll be fighting
21:35for family honor.
21:37I'm not losing to my husband.
21:39No.
21:39I am not losing to my husband.
21:42Yes.
21:42Zoom in on that real quick.
21:43Always creeping.
21:44He's trying to get our tricks, see?
21:46He secretly wants to know my tips, my tricks.
21:49I'm a little scared, though.
21:50Don't be scared.
21:51I got y'all.
21:52I got y'all.
21:53I do love him.
21:54I love you a lot.
21:57You ain't got motivated by now.
21:59There's nothing I can say.
22:00I don't know.
22:01Look, I put y'all on a task.
22:04Don't f*** this up.
22:07Backstage, before Penina Tualepa's match against Bailey Humphrey, her biggest fan pays her
22:12a visit.
22:12That's my dad.
22:16Pop's nasty is the reason why P nasty is P nasty.
22:20She's got me three points on my team.
22:22Killing it.
22:23Somebody's going to win to play your business.
22:25That's it.
22:26That's it.
22:26And you guys wonder why P nasty is the way I am.
22:29That's all right.
22:29I like it.
22:30I appreciate it.
22:31I appreciate it.
22:32I wanted him to see me succeed because of his sacrifices.
22:36I wanted my dad to see all the benefits and everything that I am reaping now because of
22:43what he laid out.
22:44I feel happy for her because she actually came here to do a job.
22:48She's succeeding.
22:49I see she's still surviving.
22:51Now I'm paying it back and showing him, you know, your love and your discipline that you
22:55instilled in me is paying off.
22:57That's why I said this season is different.
22:58This is a P nasty show now.
23:00That's it.
23:01You're here to do a job.
23:02I heard that all my life on the sidelines.
23:08Every single game I used to step on the rugby field, my dad used to look at me dead in
23:11my face.
23:12Tell me, cut the bull or do what you got to do.
23:15Hearing that, I already knew I was going to kill Bailey.
23:17And that's all I'm here to do.
23:18Get my coach, the nice little title around her waist.
23:21Come on!
23:22And me, the damn contract.
23:24I'm ready to be on TV tomorrow.
23:27Come on.
23:28Talk to him.
23:30Let's go.
23:31Yeah.
23:31Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the legendary coaches from LFG.
23:37First, WWE Hall of Famer, Michelle McCool.
23:42And next, he became the first ever reigning
24:01defending the new LFG champion, The Undertaker.
24:10Here comes the chance.
24:20According to Booker, that is under protest.
24:27You don't think for a minute, Undertaker would hold that championship up in front of everyone.
24:35So loud, so proud just for the idea of upsetting your NXT co-broadcaster, Booker T.
24:42Taker wouldn't do that.
24:43He's trying to rip the gold away from his wife.
24:46Nonetheless, welcome in ringside.
24:48It's LFG big coach alongside Jeremy Boras.
24:51Jeremy, it's another opportunity, it's another chance for those athletes to prove themselves.
24:56Well, it's time for the best of the best.
24:58Who are the standouts on each team?
25:01We're going to see them in action right here, right now.
25:07These are going to be good matches.
25:09Oh, yeah.
25:10Here we go.
25:11The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
25:23Introducing first, representing Lee McCool, Hanina, P-Lash, and Kyle.
25:31Why is she in such a bad mood?
25:34She's not a bad mood.
25:35She's in a killer mode.
25:36Killer mode.
25:37Killer mode.
25:38Well, I want to ask you a question here, JB, because you kind of hit on it already.
25:44How did we get to this point with these athletes here tonight?
25:48It was put out by Shawn Michaels.
25:50Who is your frontrunner?
25:52Who is your standout midseason?
25:54And their choices?
25:55Well, we're seeing them in action here tonight.
25:58This should be interesting.
26:00Yes.
26:01And...
26:02You love her.
26:03Totally didn't listen to me.
26:04Micro 17.
26:05Oh, there she goes.
26:06Hailey Conkrie!
26:11Now, The Undertaker may have the championship from season one.
26:17This woman right here may just bring him season two's championship as well.
26:24Good gosh almighty.
26:25Wait, wait, this line looks...
26:26Wow, and maybe championship gold in her own future as well.
26:29Bailey Humphrey stepping into the ring.
26:32He nasty.
26:33And Bailey, this is like the Andre Hogan of the female cast of LFG.
26:38This is gonna be good.
26:42I'm fired up like already.
26:43I can't.
26:44Ooh, good rock off.
26:47Who is the nastier of the two?
26:54Who is the meaner of the two?
26:57Well, I'll tell you what, you better choose your words very carefully.
27:01I would not want to cross P nasty in any way shape or form.
27:06Uh, Bailey also very friendly individual until she's not.
27:10And obviously the size and the strength of both of these incredible athletes.
27:14So much fun to watch and in a very short time.
27:16And we keep saying this, but it's worth repeating.
27:19These are rookies in the truest sense, in the truest form.
27:24Brand new to this process.
27:26And through the incredible coaching they get here at the performance center,
27:29they are able to hone their craft.
27:31And of course the legends, Michelle McCool, Undertaker as well.
27:34You know, I think that's important thing that you just brought up JB about the timeframe.
27:39Because some people might have watched season one, watching season two,
27:42seeing some familiar faces.
27:44It's all about the fact that at the end of the day,
27:47a he nasty, a Bailey Humphrey are still.
27:51You're talking about less than a year of experience,
27:56less than two handfuls worth of matches.
27:58Very much so.
27:59And you know, the way wrestlers now are trained in 2025,
28:03the way you are now inducted into this industry.
28:05It's obviously evolved over the course of time.
28:08And right now, Panina and Bailey are two great examples of athletes
28:13that are coming in from different backgrounds.
28:16Wow.
28:17Where's that been?
28:19Different places and able to shine here on the LFG stage.
28:22This is the first chapter of what would be a pretty incredible career
28:25if most people have their foresight to see this.
28:28Atta girl, get on her!
28:31How pivotal is this matchup for these two just here on LFG?
28:35Well, when you're declared a standout by your legend,
28:38when you're singled out as the team leader,
28:41you have a responsibility to not only outshine your fellow future greats,
28:45but to win this, to take it home,
28:47to get that contract awarded by the Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels
28:50at the end of the season.
28:51And that's what both of these ladies have every intention of doing.
28:58P Nasty, charge it back in, just delivered a spear.
29:04Listen to the WWE Universe.
29:09Nasty into the cover and- Come on, come on!
29:13That's how we coach, we're always in the right place.
29:18Make her face!
29:19Always be in the right place.
29:21Not about wins and losses, it's the impression that you make,
29:24it's the impression that you leave.
29:26And when Benina, Ruth Bailey, and any of the other future greats are in the ring,
29:31it's about making that impression.
29:33Big Samoan drop!
29:35No!
29:36And not enough to put down Humphrey.
29:40Sorry that I cut you off in your moment there,
29:43but what a power move from Benina, right in the bam!
29:47Center of the ring, Bayley Humphrey's showing you maybe a different gear
29:51that she is starting to learn as Benina raining down rights.
29:55Might be taking a little bit too much time though.
30:00Look out!
30:02Took too much time and now Bayley.
30:04Her facials are good.
30:06Powerbomb!
30:09One, two, three!
30:11Bayley Humphrey picks up the win.
30:14That was good.
30:15That was freaking good.
30:16Here's your winner, Bayley Humphrey!
30:21Showcase her power, showcased her strength.
30:26In the end, Bayley, bam!
30:28Humphrey also showcased her grit to pick up a hard-fought victory
30:34here against Benina.
30:36Good job, Pete!
30:38And in the end, she also proved The Undertaker correct.
30:42Who will be the standout male and female in this episode.
30:46We are going to find out yet to come on this edition of LFG.
30:52I'm the one that just slammed PNASI in that ring.
30:56There's only room for one top female in the LFG.
31:00I'm the face of women's wrestling.
31:02And she better not forget that.
31:06While he prepares for his main event match against Anthony Luke, Shiloh Hill deals with a minor injury.
31:12Over the weekend, I had a live event match, and I got kicked in the face.
31:16And that's why I have a black eye.
31:18It's one thing competing for Taker when he's competing against other legends.
31:22It's another thing competing for Taker when he's competing against his wife,
31:25because you know there's family drama there.
31:27I just want to beat my husband.
31:29Bragging rights is everything in our family.
31:31Come on, man.
31:32Get up there and help your kid.
31:34My kid?
31:35Yeah.
31:36I'm helping your kid, too.
31:41The competition that I have with Michelle, it far exceeds anything else.
31:47This is high-stakes stuff, man.
31:49Can't have any fun around here, y'all.
31:51Get out there and put your match together.
31:53I already did it.
31:55Why don't I come out on top for Michelle?
31:57If I don't give her that bragging rights at home, then I'm not doing my job.
32:00I want her to go home and rub that title into Taker's face,
32:03laugh about it while he cries and weaves, and he's super sad about it.
32:07He's part of the reason why I was voted off.
32:09You're gonna see violence, you're gonna see intensity,
32:11and you're gonna see Anthony me turn up.
32:20Who's this, Cabron?
32:22That's my boy.
32:23The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
32:27Introducing first, representing Team McCool.
32:31Anthony Lou!
32:35Also known to some, JB, as Showtime.
32:39And he certainly lives up to that monitor in and out of the ring.
32:45Michelle McCool's number one pick.
32:49Overall.
32:50Yeah!
32:51In the LFG Season 2 draft, Anthony Lou!
32:55Steps forward, and at this point in the game, the frontrunner, midseason already, for Team McCool.
33:03And y'all match him, go to the Kirkus.
33:05Yep.
33:06Representing Team Undertaker, Shiloh Hill!
33:11I'm sure in the moment, you're gonna get a good look at Shiloh Hill.
33:17Saw him earlier.
33:19He's got a black eye.
33:21His right eye was injured this week.
33:23You can see a little bit of a look.
33:25So he's coming in.
33:27He's not gonna let it phase him.
33:29Wait a minute.
33:31Yeah!
33:32Yeah!
33:33You ain't cheating, you ain't trying.
33:35There goes Anthony Lou, demanding the official to ring the bell.
33:39Hill's not even back to his feet.
33:41And this is part of that attitude we've seen since Season 1.
33:45Part of the attitude of why Michelle McCool made him the top draft choice.
33:49And certainly going all the way back, JB, to the draft, Michelle McCool shook up the landscape of LFG.
33:55Well, not only that, she shook up the foundation of Team Booker from Season 1
33:59as she selected Penina and Anthony Lou as picks number one in the male and female categories going into Season 2.
34:06And certainly been effective for Michelle McCool.
34:08Our points leader.
34:10Team McCool is dominating in points, but will it be Hill or Luke that dominates this matchup?
34:20The legends that they get it right with the top dog, so to speak, here in LFG.
34:25Come on, Shiloh!
34:27Well, I think you have to take a look at what happened with Bubba.
34:30And, you know, nobody's gonna argue the fact that Zena Sterling is his quote-unquote meal ticket,
34:36but to have to end up with PJ Ray as his quote-unquote top frontrunner,
34:41probably not gonna be Bubba's choice.
34:43But obviously we've seen the circumstances unfold as they have here, and that's where we're at.
34:48Well, this matchup unfolding right in front of our very eyes, it has been very even between these two.
34:57Probably actually would give the points to Anthony Luke thus far.
35:02That's not good.
35:03Shiloh Hill's back to his feet, trying to swing away, trying to even things out, but there is.
35:08That's the beast.
35:09That's the beast within.
35:11Starting to become unleashed.
35:13Then Shiloh Hill, another big clothesline rocking Luke.
35:16And Hill right now trying to show his own little bit of show time.
35:20A little shake, rattle, and roll.
35:22Well, that was innovative.
35:26The second time we've seen that from Shiloh Hill, and certainly that offense connects.
35:31Trying to follow it up, but wait a minute.
35:33Look at Luke, Anthony Luke just whipping at that injured eye.
35:37We saw that earlier, going right to the advantage spot for Anthony Luke.
35:43Cut in a corner and in light camera action for Showtime.
35:48Here is your winner, Anthony Luke!
35:54Took advantage of where the official was, and the official did not see.
36:00Anthony Luke just put a thumb into the injured eye, right here, take a look.
36:04Just ripping at the face of Shiloh Hill.
36:07Certainly was effective, and then move we've seen before from Anthony Luke.
36:11It was enough to get the pin, but was this performance enough to get the points?
36:16Anthony Luke, Shiloh Hill, two front runners for a chance at taking this one home this week.
36:25We are going to find out who gets the points from the legends.
36:28Coming up on LFG.
36:31It's all about the top dogs right now, legends.
36:40Who at this point is standing ahead of the pack?
36:43Let's start with the females.
36:45Michelle McCool, please kick us off with your vote for top female.
36:49My vote, Alicia, is for PNasty.
36:52The most progression I saw was out of Panina.
36:56Panina, you get my vote.
36:58My point goes to Serena.
37:02This stings, it stings, but I think my vote is for Panina.
37:05Panina, so that's three votes for Panina.
37:08That means Team McCool gets a point for top female.
37:13All right, let's move along to the top dog of the men here today.
37:19I'm going to start with you, Booker T.
37:22I'm going to tell it just straight like it is, all right?
37:25I'm not going to sugarcoat it.
37:26I'm willing to sacrifice a point in order for you to get better, Harlem.
37:31You can each ride with me or freaking jump off and just go it on your own.
37:38I'm not going to lie.
37:39When he said that, it was embarrassing for him to say that and speak like that
37:41in front of all the other legends and my other co-workers.
37:43It's embarrassing.
37:44And I feel like when I'm being held back and I'm being told to do things a certain way,
37:47it's kind of ruining that and just setting me backwards.
37:49I can do things the ABC way you want, but I'm going to do it the Harlem Lewis way.
37:52I'm not going to do it the generic, create a character way that everybody's asking me to do.
37:56I'm willing to sacrifice.
37:57I'm willing to lose.
37:58The point goes to Shiloh.
38:00Michelle McCool, which of the men is the top dog for you today?
38:04Anthony, I've told you a million times, you are.
38:06You check off every single box.
38:08What is the differential for me is that I thought Shiloh went off feeling more.
38:13I hate doing this, but it is what it's right.
38:15My vote does go to Shiloh.
38:16Harlem, the wrestling business needs a hard-ass New Yorker.
38:20It's going to come for you.
38:22You're going to have to listen a little bit more, okay?
38:25Shiloh, you get my vote.
38:27My vote goes to Shiloh.
38:29Good luck, everybody.
38:30This is going to be a dogfight to the end.
38:32That means one point for Team McCool and a point for The Undertaker.
38:37We got four or five guys that could all be winners.
38:42I felt like I was really close last season, so I got to keep working.
38:45I want them to, like, realize that they made a mistake having me not be the winner last season.
38:49When that bell rings, everybody knows the truth.
38:52I mean, how hard do I have to go to show them that I'm the best here?
38:56There's nobody on my level.
38:57I've been doing this one year.
38:59One year.
39:00This is my show.
39:01This is my show.
39:02I'm not letting anybody take it away from me.
39:05Right now, the story is writing itself.
39:08That's exactly what I knew was going to happen.
39:10PNASI on top.
39:11I'm getting every damn point.
39:12It don't matter if you guys bring me Xena Sterling, the front runner for last season,
39:15or if you put Bailey big for nothing home free in front of me.
39:19I don't give a damn.
39:20PNASI's here to win it all.
39:25After the deliberations, Harlem Lewis confronts his legendary coach.
39:30Can I talk to you for a second for, like, off camera?
39:32Yeah, yeah.
39:34You wanted to talk to a man-to-man.
39:36What was that all about?
39:38This was a private conversation, and it's just something that I needed to get to clear my head
39:42because I was very frustrated, and I've had a really bad history of, like, anger issues,
39:46and I've noticed that if I don't stand on it and speak about it immediately,
39:49I'm going to just crash out.
39:51So I had to pull him aside and just kind of talk to him and understand more what he's saying
39:55and understand exactly what he's looking for from me.
39:58If you follow instruction from me, you're going to kill it every time.
40:02All right?
40:03Because you're thinking that you need to do X, Y, Z, but you really don't.
40:07All I need you to do is A, B, and C.
40:10Okay?
40:11Yeah.
40:12You know, after, uh, Harlem wanted to have a little one-on-one session with me,
40:16that tell me, that tell me about Harlem.
40:21Tells me he's an alpha.
40:23Tells me he wants it.
40:25Tells me he wants it really, really bad.
40:28Reminds me of me in a lot of ways.
40:30I always wanted to be the guy at the front of the class.
40:34Trust me.
40:35Doing it my way, you're going to, your eyes is going to open and you're going to go,
40:39Oh, .
40:40He told me that, you know, he thought this and he thought that.
40:42And I told Harlem, look, I don't need you to think.
40:46I need you to listen.
40:51And the ultimate question, do you trust me?
40:56You can win this thing.
40:57I know you can.
40:58Just trust me.
40:59Trust me to God.
41:00I appreciate you.
41:01Thank you.
41:02Seriously.
41:03I got your back.
41:04By any means, I'm going to win this competition.
41:06So, regardless of the points, regardless of, you know, the speed bumps along the way,
41:11it's still what I'm here for.
41:12I'm frustrated right now, but I'm going to win this competition.
41:15Wow.
41:16Just pouncing and pounding.
41:17Whoa.
41:18Whoa.
41:19Hello.
41:20That'll leave a mark.
41:23Next time on LFG.
41:28And what I give my hands on you is see you later, alligator.
41:35I want you pissed and I want you aggressive.
41:38I want to forget how small Danny is.
41:41I need to prove that I can't be looked over anymore.
41:44Light work, bro.
41:45I better go out there and make Trill look like a million bucks like I always do.
41:47Just like I always do.
41:48Oh, don't fuck this shit from the future.
41:49Go, man.
41:50Go, man.
41:51Go, man.
41:52Go, man.
41:53Go, man.
41:54Go, man.
41:55Go, man.
41:56Go.
