00:00This week on LFG, six future greats still have something to prove before the playoffs began.
00:08And they'll face off in the ring tonight.
00:11First up, it's Bailey Humphrey versus Summer Sorrell.
00:16I want you to leave no doubt in anybody's mind, you are the game changer of this division.
00:24Tatiana Dumas takes on Hayes Jamison.
00:27I've been here for five months.
00:28Tatiana's been here for 10.
00:30I feel like I'm going to have to step up and lead this match.
00:33And in our main event, can Chris Island finally break through and make Booker T proud?
00:38Show me what you got.
00:39Yes, sir.
00:39Show me what you got.
00:40Yes, sir.
00:41Show me what you got.
00:42Yes, sir.
00:43When he goes mano a mano with the fast rising Trill London.
00:47I could be about business and have fun and go out there and still kick me away.
00:50I'm me.
00:51With playoffs fast approaching, who will prove to the legends that they deserve an NXT contract?
00:58You can't force being a superstar.
01:04You know, certain people think you can wake up one day and be like, I'm going to be a
01:08superstar today.
01:09Nah, it comes with hard work and having that in you since day one, since birth.
01:14To me, it's easy because I put in the hard work.
01:16A lot of people don't see the behind the scenes of what goes on in my life.
01:20And, you know, I love people that are showing stuff about me.
01:23The less you know about me and the more you convince yourself and think I'm a certain way,
01:27the more it's going to head up when you see the that I do.
01:30People shoot for the stars.
01:32Nah.
01:32I want to shoot beyond the stars.
01:35I want to shoot to the galaxy.
01:45Welcome to the ultimate proving ground.
01:4816 future greats.
01:55Poor legend.
01:56He is the epitome of Wrestlemania.
02:00Aim high, you better aim hard because I'm going to do whatever it takes.
02:03Be right.
02:05That's the case.
02:06Can't you think that sucker?
02:09A chance to win an NXT contract.
02:14Every legend has a first chapter.
02:17The future starts now.
02:19I'm a future great team, a little legend.
02:24Hello, everybody.
02:26Howdy.
02:27I want you to take a look around at one another.
02:31Been a hell of a season.
02:32Don't touch your s***, daddy.
02:33Maybe some disagreement.
02:35Oh, oh!
02:36We're not done yet.
02:37But now, competition is going to continue.
02:40Because next week, the LFG playoffs begin.
02:45A number of you are not going to be here.
02:49So tonight, a great many of us, including myself, are going to be watching with great interest.
02:55Show us why you deserve to be a WWE superstar.
02:59Playoffs are next f***ing week.
03:01I can't believe the time flew by so f***ing fast.
03:04So I'm honestly excited to see, you know, who rises to the occasion and who doesn't.
03:08Six future greats are chosen to lay it on the line, all of whom either have the least amount of time at the Performance Center or the fewest points.
03:19If these underdogs don't step up, their time on LFG may soon come to an end.
03:25My back's against the wall at this point.
03:27But that's nothing new for me.
03:30I have a lot of unfinished business, which makes me dangerous.
03:34And unlike last season, I don't plan on getting eliminated the first round.
03:38But while they prepare for the challenge ahead, some of their peers are still riding high after winning the day for their teams last week.
03:46Anthony Luke, show time.
03:48There's only one thing I know to do, and that's winning.
03:51When I get in that ring, there's nobody like me.
03:54I'm built different.
03:56So when the playoffs start, I will bring back that NXT contract.
04:01Welcome to our home.
04:04New crib.
04:05I spent so much time on the decor.
04:08Hey, me too.
04:08What are you talking about?
04:09Look at this.
04:10Beautiful.
04:11Did you grocery shop yet?
04:13Yeah, I got a few things.
04:14All right, let's see.
04:14I'm a little hungry, so I hope there's something yummy.
04:17I hope there's something yummy inside.
04:20We're having sleep for dinner.
04:22Sleep for dinner and...
04:23And champagne.
04:24Let's get it.
04:28Let's go!
04:30To the winner of LFG Season 2.
04:34Anthony, show time.
04:35Loom!
04:36Right now, I'm tape-studding.
04:45It's something that I do every single day, pretty much, after training or before training.
04:50And it just helps me expand my knowledge on wrestling.
04:53And I think that watching film is just equally as important as going into the ring and physically training.
04:59Not everyone takes it this seriously, so I know that's what's going to set me apart.
05:05While Anthony and Zena Sterling look to keep momentum going, in today's first match, will Bailey Humphrey be able to shut down the new but confident Summer Sorrell?
05:15And impress The Undertaker, who has some tough choices to make in the upcoming playoffs?
05:19Look, I finally got to Dani, and she's stepping up.
05:25I want you to leave no doubt in anybody's mind that you are the game-changer of this division at Summer's expense.
05:35When Taker told me I can change the face of women's wrestling, it took me a while to kind of figure out in what aspects.
05:41But the more him and I, you know, have connected and talked, I truly can see that he wants me to bring out this intense monster that, honestly, I feel like we don't have in the female division.
05:50I look different. My moves are different.
05:53My presence and my aura that I bring into the ring and out of the ring is just different from every female I've seen.
05:59If I can borrow this from Coach Booker, I want to see her be a monster.
06:06I want to see a bona fide, certified killer.
06:11Look, you're the newbie in town. You're a new kid on block. Not even on the radar, right?
06:16Yeah.
06:16They're overlooking you, which is just how, I mean, honestly, that's how I like it. Underdog.
06:22Summer's the greenhorn around here. She might be the newest kid on the entire block.
06:27Summer has a lot to prove. Not only does she have a lot to prove, she is going up against my husband's monster.
06:33I want her to go out there and just show the other judges, like, I may be the underdog, but I'm not scared.
06:39Every single time that I go out there, I am progressing more.
06:42But at the same time, I'm getting tired of being told that you're really good for where you're at.
06:48That's not good enough for me. I hold myself to a higher standard than that.
06:52What I also need is I need points.
06:56I'm losing to my wife. I can't have that.
07:00People really don't understand what my life will be like at home if I do not come back and beat this woman.
07:10I will never hear the end of it for the rest of eternity.
07:15And then when I get to the other side of eternity, I will still be hearing about it.
07:20I don't like losing to my husband.
07:22So go out there. She can, you know, be the monster all she wants, but you go show them what you got.
07:27I will.
07:28I want her to go out there and not only show these judges, like, who Summer is.
07:31I want her to go out there and give me a point so I could, you know, rub it in Bailey's coach's face.
07:40Destroy.
07:42On it.
07:43I've been adjusting my mindset considering playoffs are next week and to just show my aggression on a whole new level
07:53and to not hold anything back because this is a time period where I can't.
07:58Going into this match, Bailey, I know, is looking to unleash this monster inside of her.
08:04But you know what?
08:05I have a few tricks up my sleeve.
08:07And if you're underestimating me, that's a big mistake.
08:13We're set for the action to begin on LFG.
08:17The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
08:21And choosing first, representing James Metcalfe from Chicago.
08:27She got like a super hero-like bros of shit.
08:30It is natural.
08:34Big fan, big fan.
08:35I want her to prove that she has that grit in her.
08:39I tell you, she could pick this up, man.
08:41She could be a star, man.
08:44Maybe it's another week closer to the finals.
08:47If you wanted to throw a label on this week, it's kind of sudden death for all the athletes competing.
08:53It certainly is.
08:54We saw some great action last week from the ladies tonight.
08:56These girls need to top what they saw last week in order to survive.
09:00Oh!
09:01Oh!
09:02It's the real opponent representing Team Undertaker!
09:07No doubt who The Undertaker is rooting for tonight.
09:21This new gear?
09:22Yeah.
09:22Like it.
09:23Let's be blunt about it.
09:26The Undertaker has said, you need to unleash the monster.
09:33And I would not want to be on the other end of that if I'm Summer.
09:36I like the red.
09:37I like the black.
09:37All right.
09:38She got some pep in her step.
09:39Well, these are two very different, not only individuals, but different athletes.
09:50Well, they certainly are.
09:50I mean, the power, the strength of Bailey Humphreys, the quickness, the agility that we've seen Summer
09:56this entire season has been a lot of fun to watch, but certainly, as you mentioned, definitely contrast
10:01in styles and personalities in this matchup.
10:08Shoot to the bump.
10:09Oh!
10:14In your face!
10:17Run, Summer!
10:19Run!
10:19My bad decision.
10:20Oh!
10:21There ain't no timeouts in wrestling.
10:25Hey, she said timeout.
10:26She said timeout.
10:28She said timeout.
10:28You're a chicken, Summer.
10:30She said.
10:30You're a chicken.
10:31She said timeout.
10:33Run, run, run, run.
10:34Run!
10:36Well, I kind of agree with Bubba.
10:38Run, Summer, run.
10:39You're going to run a lot.
10:40But why'd you get back in the ring?
10:41Feet don't fail me now.
10:42Whoa!
10:43Look at this.
10:44I mean, is it wise to truly slap a monster?
10:47Not when they're Bailey Humphreys, and not when you can demonstrate that.
10:51What kind of power and strength is Summer Sorrell is finding out firsthand.
10:55Well, look, for Summer, she's new.
10:56She's confident.
10:57But she needs to prove that she can be a top contender in the WWE.
11:04Oh, that's what she hit me with.
11:09Almost brought all of our legends out of their seats.
11:11Because Bailey is doing just what The Undertaker asked her to do.
11:16Unleash that unforgiving monster.
11:19Nice counter, though.
11:20Look at this.
11:21Summer Sorrell doing everything she can.
11:23Obviously, this is her first season on LFG.
11:26Still relatively new to the world.
11:29Jibra.
11:29Oh.
11:30A little more impact there.
11:31A little more impact.
11:36Oh, nice.
11:37Oh, we got to go.
11:38No, no, no.
11:38We got to.
11:39Ah.
11:41Finding out it's a little bit tougher than maybe she would have imagined.
11:44Shooting the half into the cover, hook to the leg, and powering out is Bailey.
11:47Again, this is really do or die for the women here on LFG.
11:52One chance to showcase their skills.
11:54Big money, Bailey.
11:55Big money, Bailey.
11:57I should say one final chance to showcase their skills.
12:00Well, this would be one final chance for Summer Sorrell to enjoy her physicality, enjoy her health while she has it.
12:08Look at this.
12:09Oh.
12:09Look at this.
12:10Oh.
12:11Wow.
12:12Strength demonstrated.
12:14Bailey Humphries.
12:15Oh, that was a nice counter.
12:17And again, everything both these women have learned.
12:20There's been a lot of good, there's been a lot of bad, but it's all been a learning experience.
12:28Dang, she won't make this happen.
12:30Crap.
12:32And could it be one of these two women awarded a contract from Shawn Michaels?
12:37Easy, easy, easy.
12:40Nice, Summer.
12:41Ah, nice.
12:42Good for you.
12:43One, two, three.
12:44Very good.
12:45Very good.
12:46Very good.
12:47Here is your winner, Bailey Humphries.
12:52Monster Unleashed tonight.
12:57Dominant showing for Bailey, but certainly Summer Sorrell in there as well.
13:02Pretty good showing for both ladies here on LFG.
13:10The feeling you get when you fight someone the way I did with Summer, it brings, like,
13:15a different type of emotion, a different type of fire that honestly, like, makes you shake.
13:20I feel like I'm finally starting to grow and, you know, change into that true killer monster
13:25that Taker's been wanting from me, and it's exhilarating.
13:29While Bailey basks in the glory of her resounding victory,
13:33Tatiana Dumas and Hayes Jameson are next in line to try and prove their dominance.
13:44Up next, Tatiana Dumas will take on the feisty Hayes Jameson.
13:49Tatiana has one of the sharpest mouths around, but will she be able to be just as sharp in the ring?
13:55Tatiana, I must say I have my work cut out for me.
13:58I'm not gonna sit here sugar-coated, but I can tell you this.
14:01You remember the TARDIS and the hair.
14:04We may move slowly, but we're gonna get there in due time.
14:12I have improved so much, and I finally got out of my head that if I fail, it's okay.
14:20I think that this is a great opportunity to grab someone I started off Rocky with and create a master class from this.
14:26It could be something as simple as grabbing someone in the headlock and doing this, grabbing the head.
14:31That little bit of stuff for me is everything.
14:33Action is movement, dot the actual move. All right? Let's get it done.
14:37Let's get it done.
14:38It's kind of a big match for you tonight. Are you ready to go?
14:41Hell yeah.
14:42Yeah? Yeah.
14:43Any concerns?
14:45I mean, I guess just making sure everything's safe and sound.
14:50Has it ever not been safe with Tatiana in the ring?
14:56Way back week one, I got dropped on my head by Tatiana.
15:02Everybody knows it. It's on national television.
15:07You know, it happens, but at this point, I feel like I'm gonna have to step up and lead this match.
15:12This girl, she runs her mouth a lot.
15:16Yeah.
15:17Yeah?
15:18Yeah.
15:19She's been here longer than you. I think you're better than her.
15:23100%.
15:24A lot of the athletes here say I have the biggest mouth, but I feel like you cannot walk in that door and immediately say that you are better than me when you have no idea how to spray tell how to put together all the pieces of a character and how to entertain.
15:39I've shown that I can entertain the people that are invested. They want to see more of me. They are believing what I'm giving.
15:47To me, this is about the people and what I can do for the company. These girls see me as a threat. And that's the problem here. The only thing that they can have on me is the little bits and pieces of wrestling that I don't understand yet.
15:59But when I figure that out, this is a wrap. And I'm going to stand on that till the day I die.
16:09I want the judges talking about you first. I want Taylor to go, wow, Hayes. I want Michelle to go, wow, Hayes. I want Booker to go, I'm Booker T. I'm the best of all time. Booker has to talk about himself first. Right?
16:21Yeah. Give me all of this to the next level. Okay.
16:27Hayes pops. The spotlight loves Hayes Jameson. Let's bring that character out even more.
16:36This experience has been crazy. Like, the pressure is on all the time. And I feel like going into this season, my purpose was to be fun and tap into the wild child energy.
16:46So at this point, like, I'm not going to be all bark, no bite.
16:50You know, for Tatiana to be able to pull all this together, you know, you could take a horse to water, but you can't make them drink.
16:58They got to be able to do that themselves.
17:01With the clock ticking down, this is Hayes and Tatiana's chance to prove why they deserve that NXT contract.
17:08Going into the playoffs, regardless of the outcome, the people have my back. And that's all I care about.
17:16The following contest is scheduled for one ball. Introducing first, representing Team Booker T.
17:30From Sydney, Australia.
17:32I like the LeBron, stick him through a knee.
17:35LeBron!
17:37I dare say one of the more polarizing figures here on LFG, Tatiana Dubas never holds back, doesn't miss words, lets you know where you stand with her. I like it.
17:46But look, she talks a big game. That's something we both can agree on, but she has to be able to back up her ring work with anything she says. You can talk all you want, but if you don't step foot in the ring and get the job done, the legends see through that, in my opinion.
18:01This is kind of the last opportunity for her. For better or for worse. But again, you got to have your best here tonight on LFG.
18:16And her opponent, representing Team Bubble Array, from Rockford, Illinois, Hayes Chivasan.
18:31Oh, look at the- Oh yeah! Oh yeah! Right from the high!
18:39Get on her!
18:43Get out of her, Hayes! Beat her up! Beat the hell out of her!
18:48Come on, let's go! Back up! Back up! Back up! Back up! Back up!
18:52No mercy!
18:53I haven't seen Bubba this unglued in a long time. I also don't recall any match starting this way, here on LFG, ever!
19:18One, two, three, four!
19:21Lady s***ing brother!
19:25Well, Bubba has challenged Hayes Jameson in multiple different ways, and we started Season 2.
19:31I believe she had blonde hair. She sure did.
19:32She's got pink hair.
19:33She has changed dramatically over the course of this broadcast, but that's the challenging way that she put forth by what Bubba said.
19:40Hey, no coaching.
19:41No, sir.
19:42Bubba made new challenges, challenged her to take new avenues.
19:48Oh!
19:51Look at the leg!
19:53I don't remember that spot.
19:57We talk about both these women again. We talk about a polarizing individual. Hayes Jameson the same way since she came in here.
20:03This is her first season. She's been asked to do a lot of things, and she has stepped up to the plate.
20:08Okay, okay.
20:10Firecracker, if you will.
20:12I think she's fun to watch, there's no question about it, since she turned pink, if you will, changed the hairstyle, changed the attitude, a whole new way to go about things.
20:19She's going to be good. Her instincts, for most part, you know, a little bit too much interaction with them, but her heel stuff that she does is good.
20:30You hear the legends conversating about this matchup. You think about everything that they have taught all the athletes.
20:36And here tonight, for the women, you talk about this is the one last opportunity, one last gasp that they can show that they are worthy of continuing on this journey.
20:48They are worthy of trying to get to the finals, that they are indeed worthy to get offered a contract from Shawn Michaels to join the ranks of the women's division on NXT.
20:57Well, let's not forget the stakes that never retire. Vic, next week, eliminations start. We say goodbye to competitors here on LFG, and that means the pressure's on.
21:07It's a question of survival at this point.
21:10Come on, guys. Come on. It's only been two minutes in, and it can't be that beat up.
21:15And all these athletes really have to put forth everything they've learned, every single week, every up, every down, every slip, every moment that they've had, the good and the bad.
21:23This is their time to put it all into one moment to open the eyes of the legends.
21:30Oh, oh, missed.
21:33Well, with the pressure's on and, you know, life-changing opportunities await to the winner, both male and female, NXT contracts hanging in the balance.
21:42And right now, Tatiana Dumas throwing those right hands to Hayes Jamison.
21:45She's got to throw rights, throw lefts, whatever she can to impress these legends that continue on this journey here on LFG.
21:54She's just wailing away.
21:58Oh, yeah. True speed on it.
22:01Could be a pivotal moment in this matchup. Strength on display, looking for a slam.
22:06Up that head.
22:10Letting her think about it.
22:11Boom!
22:17Another kick out by James.
22:22Well, there's so much competition going on.
22:24You've got Panina, you've got Zena, you've got Tatiana Dumas.
22:27There's so many great athletes competing for this contract.
22:30Bailey Summer, who we saw.
22:32Bailey, yeah, absolutely.
22:34On LFG.
22:35Oh, nice takedown.
22:37There you go, Hayes.
22:38With an assist.
22:40Oh, she cheated, you dirty doll.
22:43Hayes put her foot on the ropes for an assist.
22:46That's illegal.
22:51Jamison stole it.
22:53What message did you just send to the entire LFG universe?
22:57That I'm not here to around.
22:58I think a lot of people maybe mistook my, like, dopeness for weakness in the beginning of all of this.
23:04I think this shift has helped me tap into, like, a different part of my personality for whatever's in the future.
23:12So, I'm excited to keep that energy up and just be a chicken if they want me to be a chicken .
23:17While Hayes embraces her new role, in our main event, Chris Island will look to prove he deserves all the respect in his battle against the high-flying Trill London.
23:28Eliminations are a week away, and they're feeling the heat.
23:32You ready?
23:33Yeah, I'm ready.
23:34You know Chris Island's gonna bring it.
23:36You know Book's got something dead up against you, this whole Jeff Hardy crap.
23:39Well, people think, you know, they're not cool themselves.
23:44They try to bring down the coolest person.
23:45I get it, I get it.
23:47Hey, look, I know you stand out in the crowd.
23:49I'm not worried about you standing out in the crowd, but I want to bring a little extra pop tonight.
23:53Because here's the thing, playoffs are, they're here.
23:56Eliminations are coming.
23:57I'm not trying to lose my Trill.
23:59Trill has constantly been compared to Jeff Hardy.
24:02How he moves, how he acts, how he dresses.
24:05What they don't understand is that Trill is Trill.
24:08Trill is an artist.
24:10Trill is a stud athlete.
24:12I just wanted what I see in him to be evident to the others.
24:17Everybody's talking about Trill London, the new kid on the block.
24:23The flavor of the month is what I call it.
24:26He's going to come in, he's going to be flipping around, he's going to be trying to showboat.
24:30He's going to be trying to outshine you, all right?
24:32Every time he jump, I need you to hit his poke ass, all right?
24:36I need you to knock his in the dirt.
24:39You feel me?
24:40That's all I need to do.
24:41Apologize later.
24:42Personally, I got a rocky relationship with my dad,
24:45but now that I got somebody like Booker in my corner who's actually here daily
24:49and who's actually here seeing me, more than anything, I want Book to get out of his seat and clap.
24:54I want him to stand up and say, that's my boy.
24:57That's my boy right there.
24:59You see Chris Island?
25:00That's my guy.
25:01That means everything to me because I can't do that for myself.
25:05It's time to really go in the war room.
25:07It's time to put the black mask on and go into self interrogation mode.
25:13I feel it.
25:14I can feel it in my bones that I can bring it out of Chris Island.
25:18Show me what you got.
25:19Yes, sir.
25:20Show me what you got.
25:21Yes, sir.
25:22Show me what you got.
25:23Chris is eager to prove himself.
25:38But before making it to the ring, he and his opponent size each other up.
25:42I know what it's like.
25:43It's your first season.
25:44I know what it's like.
25:45No, you don't know what it's like.
25:46I know what it's like.
25:47You don't know what it's like.
25:48I'm in a different position right now.
25:49You are.
25:50But you was also on season one, right?
25:51Exactly.
25:52I was having fun then.
25:53Did you win season one?
25:54Why not?
25:55Because I was having fun just like you are right now.
25:56There's no more fun for you.
25:58I'm not you.
25:59That's the difference between you and me.
26:00I can have fun.
26:01I can be in my business and have fun and go out there and still kick my ass.
26:03Hey, who are you?
26:04I'm me.
26:05Who are you?
26:06I'm me.
26:07I'm me.
26:08And a lot of people aren't blessed enough to come into this job knowing, you know,
26:11who they are.
26:12And that's the hardest part about this business.
26:14You know, it's just going to take some time for him to figure out who he is.
26:17We got Trail London who just show up and want to be Jeff Hardy.
26:20And he do two backflips.
26:22And for some reason, people can't stop talking about him.
26:25You know what I mean?
26:26You could climb to the top of the rope and you could do a double quadruple,
26:30450, 760, 280 flip and try and take me out.
26:36And I'm still going to beat your ass.
26:38You done played ball.
26:39That's what I'm trying to tell you.
26:40This ain't ball.
26:41It's not.
26:42This ain't ball.
26:43It's easier.
26:44It's easier.
26:45It's easier.
26:46It's easier.
26:47You went for the wrong night.
26:48It's easier.
26:49Okay.
26:50Watch how easy I make this shit out there after.
26:51Watch how easy I make this shit out there after.
26:53All right.
26:54It's a regular day in the parking room, bro.
26:57I'm going to call my shit easy.
27:00What I do is easy.
27:01What I do is easy.
27:03Books in my head right now, man.
27:05Trill's a athlete.
27:07He's a hell of athlete.
27:08He's coming to the season and just boom.
27:11I think that right there is the one thing that's going to be holding Chris back.
27:14Thinking about the other guy.
27:16You can't think about the other guy in this business.
27:18You got to think about yourself.
27:20There is no tomorrow.
27:21There is no tomorrow.
27:22There is no tomorrow.
27:23There is.
27:24There is no tomorrow.
27:26Let's get this done.
27:27Let's get it done.
27:28You feel me?
27:29You feel me?
27:30You feel me?
27:31You feel me?
27:32You feel me?
27:33You feel me?
27:34You feel me?
27:35You feel me?
27:36You feel me?
27:37You feel me?
27:38You feel me?
27:39You feel me?
27:40You feel me?
27:41You feel me?
27:42You feel me?
27:43You feel me?
27:44You feel me?
27:45You feel me?
27:46alongside Jeremy Borash, and it's
27:48another week for our athletes to
27:50prove themselves. It is a proving
27:51ground. It is a journey that we are following
27:54each and every week here on
27:56LFG, and we are kicking
27:58things off with a matchup featuring
28:00a member of Team
28:02Michelle McCool versus a member
28:04of Team Booker.
28:06Let's do it.
28:07This is not a game.
28:08There's nothing to it, but to do it. You feel me?
28:10This is life. Let's do it.
28:12We put blood, sweat, and tears into this.
28:14It's good. I push that weight
28:16to get that done, but I don't right, because I'm involved.
28:18The following contest is scheduled
28:20for one fall.
28:23Introducing first,
28:24representing Team
28:26Booker T, Chris
28:28Island!
28:30I joke a lot about my NXT broadcast
28:32partner, Booker T. Yeah.
28:34But Booker seems to bring out
28:36the best in those that
28:38he's able to help mold, because the
28:40Chris Island that at least I'm looking at,
28:42JB, is far
28:44different than the Chris Island we first
28:46set eyes on in Season 1.
28:48He has evolved. He is tired
28:50of being dismissed.
28:52To put it in a nutshell, and he still
28:54needs to make a believer out of Booker T.
28:56That is his biggest challenge so far
28:58in Season 2. He has an opportunity
29:00to do that tonight
29:01against a member of Team
29:04Michelle McCool.
29:05And here's your host,
29:17representing Team
29:18McCool,
29:20T.
29:21London!
29:23You know, JB, for
29:25the legend that you are,
29:26all the athletes, all the wrestlers,
29:29all the superstars that you've been around,
29:31sometimes it's
29:32hard, so to speak,
29:34to pull something out of an athlete
29:36to make them reach their full potential.
29:39For Trill London,
29:40there is no need to try to push him,
29:42because he is always pushing the limit,
29:45whether he's in the ring
29:46or out of the ring.
29:49Oh, yeah, baby!
29:51You see that?
29:52Chris Island takes it to Trill London.
29:54You see Chris Island.
29:55He's got the gloves on right now.
29:57I had a chance to talk to him
29:58throughout the week about the
29:59different look, so to speak,
30:01than what we had typically
30:02seen him in.
30:03He said,
30:03I'm going back to my childhood.
30:05I'm going back to what
30:05I was taught as a young man
30:07in Judo, growing up,
30:09trying to learn how to keep myself
30:10composed and to fight.
30:12And right now,
30:13this is turning into an all-out brawl.
30:15You're grinding!
30:16Come on, Trill!
30:22Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
30:23Wait a minute!
30:24Oh!
30:25Hey!
30:27Told you don't have to push him
30:28to the limit,
30:29because he's always got his foot
30:31on the gas!
30:31Trill London!
30:37You know, I go out there,
30:41and I feel like I'm
30:42a video game character,
30:43and I'm, like,
30:44controlling myself
30:45when I'm out there,
30:46so I'm just doing everything
30:47that I would do
30:47in a video game.
30:56Woo!
30:56Whoa!
30:57I can laugh.
30:59Let's not forget,
31:00Chris Island is a man
31:01who has really thought
31:02it was being a top contender,
31:03but when Booker T picked Harlem Lewis
31:05on Team Booker
31:06as the standout,
31:07as the number one on the team,
31:08that was a reality check
31:09for Chris Island,
31:10and since that time,
31:11he's been full-on aggressive.
31:13Wow!
31:13What in the world
31:14are we witnessing right now?
31:15Take a look!
31:17And it's amazing to think
31:18this man went from the gridiron
31:20to a wrestling ring.
31:21Cover, count,
31:22and a kickout.
31:23But, man,
31:24we always sit here
31:25and we talk, JB.
31:26This athlete's had
31:27four or five matches.
31:29This athlete,
31:29this is his first match.
31:31It's not like
31:31Trill London
31:32has been around
31:33for two, three years
31:34in the program.
31:35Now, by all standards,
31:36he is a rookie.
31:37He is a beginner.
31:39He is a newbie.
31:40He is ripping the hair.
31:42And Chris Island
31:42still the same.
31:43Both these guys
31:44less than a year experience
31:45here at the Performance Center.
31:46Are you kidding me?
31:47And think of the potential.
31:49That's what this is.
31:49Raw potential
31:50we're seeing in the ring.
31:51Booker T hit Chris Island
31:53with the right E3 quote
31:54earlier today.
31:55There is no tomorrow.
31:57And with the playoffs
31:57looming just weeks away,
31:59Chris Island knows
32:00it's cutting time
32:01and he needs to be
32:02at the top of the heap.
32:03This is a reminder
32:03for everyone watching.
32:05It's not about
32:05the wins and the losses.
32:07It's about opening
32:07the eyes of
32:08the legends
32:10of your coaches
32:11earning a point
32:13at the end
32:14of each LFG.
32:16Will one of these
32:17two men
32:17be able to put
32:19a little extra
32:20notch in their belt
32:21trying to create
32:21a little separation?
32:22Big right hand
32:23in his own right
32:24from Trill London.
32:25We always talk about
32:26the high flying
32:26the daredevil attitude.
32:27Looks like he's trying
32:28to throw rights,
32:29lefts,
32:29but Chris Island
32:30just
32:30black
32:31London center
32:33of the ring.
32:33Well,
32:33you're seeing that
32:34aggression.
32:35You're seeing that
32:35confidence.
32:36Both legs
32:37near fall.
32:38And certainly
32:39what Chris Island
32:40brings to the table
32:41is very much
32:42a work in progress
32:43in some ways,
32:45but it's also
32:46the fact he has
32:47the pieces
32:47of the puzzle
32:49to be put in place.
32:50And if he can
32:51do just that,
32:52he is going
32:52to do very well
32:53in this industry.
32:54With a point
32:55of that knee
32:55right to the small
32:56of the back,
32:56almost enjoying,
32:58punishing his opponent
32:59as Chris Island
33:00to our left,
33:01sitting high above us
33:02are the legends.
33:03Well,
33:03you got to remember,
33:04Michelle McCool
33:04and Booker T,
33:05they both have
33:06so much time
33:07invested in these two
33:08from a personal
33:08and professional standpoint.
33:10You got to be both.
33:11You got to be a mentor.
33:12You got to be a coach
33:13to succeed in LFG.
33:17There they are.
33:20More time
33:20I've ever seen them,
33:21you know?
33:21Yeah, yeah, yeah.
33:22For sure.
33:24Not Russian.
33:25Got that black belt.
33:27That's it.
33:28When we talk
33:28about the draft,
33:29Michelle McCool
33:30shook things up
33:32right out of the gate.
33:34And it paid off.
33:35Trill London
33:35has really showed up
33:36this season
33:37in a tough spot now,
33:39but week after week
33:39he's shown
33:40he has the competitive nature
33:42to stand with the best
33:43here on LFG.
33:44And JB,
33:45is this what you were
33:45alluding to
33:46when it came to
33:47Booker talking
33:48to Chris Island?
33:48Chris Island could have
33:49went for maybe
33:50a pinfall,
33:51could have tried
33:51to put away
33:52Trill London,
33:53but instead
33:53he's trying to
33:54punish his opponent
33:55and he's focused
33:56on the lower back
33:57here tonight.
33:58He's trying to,
33:59you know,
33:59he's tired of being dismissed.
34:00He wants to show
34:01that aggression.
34:02He wants to make
34:03a believer
34:04out of Booker T
34:05and these great fans.
34:07In order to do that
34:08he has to excel,
34:09he has to be more aggressive
34:10and he has to take
34:11the fight to Trill.
34:12London.
34:14A couple of body shots,
34:15a couple of stinging rights
34:16and then just one knee
34:18to the stomach.
34:19Shutting down London.
34:21London though,
34:21nice counter
34:22and delivered a stiff
34:23forearm.
34:24By another one.
34:27Third time
34:27wasn't the charm
34:28and then whoa,
34:29up over,
34:30just got enough
34:31to rip down.
34:32There you go,
34:32Trill.
34:32Island into the mat.
34:33And this is that
34:34unique offense
34:35Trill London possesses.
34:37Sorry.
34:38A daredevil by nature,
34:41not afraid to take risks.
34:43Going to the top now
34:44to do just that.
34:48Oh,
34:49the knees to the spine.
34:51Was looking for that
34:52swan time.
34:53Remember the lower back.
34:55Island from,
34:56oh,
34:56JV,
34:57Island's got the tights.
34:58Chipped and weighted,
34:59finally,
35:00a little extra
35:01for Island.
35:02He steals it.
35:03He's got a cheater.
35:06Cheater on your head.
35:07Chris Island.
35:10After all is said and done,
35:12resorted to pulling the tights
35:13but also knew that Booker,
35:16watching from above,
35:17would be happy with the win
35:18no matter what he had
35:20to do to get there.
35:22He pulled the tights.
35:23He pulled the tights.
35:24He pulled the tights.
35:26I didn't do it.
35:27He pulled the tights.
35:28I saw nothing.
35:29Chris Island victorious
35:31here on LNG.
35:32When I say something,
35:34it's not when it ain't done
35:35and it can't come.
35:35I'm getting to sleep
35:36when the cops isn't on the stage.
35:37So I shed blood
35:38is on my back.
35:39I'm doing my respect.
35:43Book said it's live or die
35:45right now.
35:45I got to do it.
35:46He said,
35:47say sorry later.
35:48I say sorry later.
35:50You know what I'm saying?
35:52Ain't nothing else.
35:53If they don't give it to me now,
35:54they ain't never going
35:55to give it to me.
35:56What message can you send
35:57to everybody out there tonight?
35:59Don't try me.
36:00Finally,
36:00give me my respect.
36:01You know what I'm saying?
36:03Everybody know now.
36:05Everybody saw it.
36:07The future greats
36:08have left it all in the ring
36:10and now
36:11it's finally time
36:12to hear
36:12which of them
36:13impressed the legends enough
36:14to earn points
36:15for their teams.
36:16Legends and future greats,
36:18we are one week away
36:21from the LFG
36:22season two playoffs.
36:24This is your last chance
36:25to impress the legends.
36:28Undertaker,
36:28which of the ladies
36:29get your vote here today?
36:30Hayes,
36:32Summer,
36:32for where you guys are,
36:34to be even in consideration
36:35is a testament
36:36to the work
36:37that you're putting in.
36:38My vote, though,
36:40goes for Bayley.
36:43Bubba Ray?
36:44I can definitely understand
36:46why he voted
36:47for your belly.
36:48You and Summer
36:48did a good job.
36:49But I saw something
36:53tonight in Tatiana
36:54and Hayes
36:55that was completely
36:57unexpected.
36:59I think we were all
37:00wowed by the match.
37:03But Hayes,
37:04you are a shining star
37:06and you get my vote.
37:10Okay.
37:11Vote for Hayes.
37:11See who's gonna get jealous.
37:13I hope so.
37:15Booker T.
37:17Which way are you voting?
37:19The one thing I saw,
37:21something that we don't
37:22see enough of,
37:24and that's somebody
37:24go out there
37:25and sail to the point
37:27to where their opponent
37:27looked better
37:28than they ever
37:29could look out there
37:31with anybody else.
37:33Tatiana went out there
37:34and did that.
37:36Tatiana worked
37:37from the bottom.
37:38How many times
37:38you see somebody
37:39work from the bottom
37:40like that?
37:41Get the fans
37:42totally invested.
37:44Tatiana
37:44should have gotten
37:46everybody's damn vote
37:48on this panel
37:49as far as I'm concerned.
37:51Tatiana gets my vote.
37:54Bailey,

37:56Tatiana,
37:57Michelle,
37:58this comes down to you.
38:00Dang it.

38:09You've come so far
38:10where the tell end
38:11of this thing
38:11where it really,
38:12really matters, right?
38:13Bailey,
38:14you continue to impress.
38:16Your presence is amazing
38:17when you get out here.
38:19Tatiana,

38:28I can't believe
38:28you've been here
38:29for such a short amount
38:30of time.

38:39And congratulations,
38:41Bubba Ray,

38:46Like,
38:46let's go.
38:47The week before playoffs,
38:49I get a point.
38:50Let's go, dude.

38:59That point told Hayes,
39:01I'm working hard,
39:02it's paying off,
39:04and I belong here.
39:06Now,

39:08for the best male

39:19the light bulb's
39:20going to go off,
39:20and it's all
39:21going to come together.
39:23It's just
39:23the nature of the beast
39:25sometimes.
39:27Trill,
39:27you get my vote.
39:28I have to vote
39:30Trill,
39:30because I just
39:31was captivated
39:32with your performance.
39:33And I know
39:34it doesn't happen
39:34without Chris's help,
39:36but it stood out.
39:38Chris,

39:40We do.
39:41And I just want you
39:41to know that we see it.
39:44Trill,
39:44you're stepping up
39:45at the exact right time,
39:46and I'm glad
39:47that they're noticing.

39:52votes for Trill.
39:54You know what?

39:59of bull .
40:00That's my vote.
40:04That's one vote

40:09Congratulations,
40:10Trill.
40:13And congratulations,
40:15Team McCool
40:16with the point.
40:17I'm on a f***ing
40:18roll right now,
40:19baby.
40:20It's going to take
40:20a lot to stop me
40:21right now.
40:22I ain't going to lie.
40:23You know,
40:23there's a lot of
40:23hard hitters
40:24on this show
40:24right now,
40:25and I've said
40:25multiple times,
40:27I don't think
40:27nobody can f***
40:28with me,
40:28and that's me
40:29being humble.
40:30You know,
40:30I believe in my
40:30abilities,
40:31but nobody can
40:32f*** with me
40:33when I'm in that
40:33mode.
40:34With the points
40:35awarded,
40:36Team Bubba
40:37gains some traction,
40:38while Team McCool
40:39further expands
40:40its lead.
40:41As for the future
40:42greats,
40:43Hayse Jamison
40:44is now on the
40:45board,
40:46and Trill London
40:46vaults
40:47into a tie
40:48for first place
40:49among the men.
40:52However,
40:53not everybody
40:54is happy
40:55with the day's
40:56results.
40:57I feel like
40:58there's nothing
40:59else left.
41:00Like,
41:01you know what
41:01they said to me
41:02tonight?
41:02They said,
41:02one point bulls***,
41:03three points trill.
41:04I'll never forget
41:05that ever again
41:07in my life.
41:08At this point,
41:09I'm worried
41:09for anybody
41:10who got to step
41:11in the ring with me
41:12because I got
41:12nothing left to lose.
41:14I haven't seen
41:14that kid in a long
41:15time.
41:16I put him away
41:16a long time ago,
41:18but when that kid
41:18really let loose,
41:19it's some greatness
41:22that can happen,
41:23but it's also a lot
41:24of danger that
41:24come with it,
41:25but that's all
41:26I can really say
41:26at this point.
41:27I just got to get
41:28next time on LFG.
41:40The playoffs
41:41are starting today.
41:44Now the competition
41:46starts.
41:48Somebody's ass
41:49is going home.
41:50It is playoff time.
41:52There is no tomorrow.
41:54This is my competition
41:56now.
41:57He's f***ing f***ing
41:58on this Mr. Nice guy.
42:00F*** Mr. Nice guy.
42:01Everybody knows
42:02who's going to be
42:03in the finals,
42:03who's going to be
42:04in the playoffs.
42:04I don't expect to be
42:05out of this competition
42:06anytime soon.
42:07I'm going to be
42:08locked in.
42:08I'm going to be
42:09ready to roll
42:09and go out there
42:10and prove to everyone
42:12that the Bayou Boy
42:13is coming for that
42:13NXT contract.
42:14When you find
42:16something in you
42:17that you didn't
42:18know was there,
42:19you become dangerous.
42:21Ladies,
42:22it's going to be
42:23up to your legends,
42:25their discretion.
42:27Make this
42:27as difficult on me
42:29as you possibly can.
42:32If it was me,
42:34I'd know who I'd be bigger.
42:36So many great athletes
42:37at the top of their game.
42:39Not such an easy
42:40decision now.
42:41I'm not taking it easy.
42:42I'm not playing light.
42:43This season,
42:44that NXT contract
42:45is mine.
42:46Somebody on my team
42:47is going to take
42:47that contract
42:48and it might be
42:49two somebodies.
42:50Don't come sit by me.
42:51Don't come and try
42:51to chop it up with me.
42:52I'm locked in
42:53and I'm ready
42:54to take it off.
42:55You finna have a match
42:55right now?
42:56No, Summer.
42:57You gotta be for real.
42:58For real.
42:58Hey, hey, hey, hey.
