00:00Still have something to prove before the playoffs began.
00:03And they'll face off in the ring tonight.
00:06First up, it's Bailey Humphrey versus Summer Sorrell.
00:11I want you to leave no doubt in anybody's mind,
00:14you are the game changer of this division.
00:19Tatiana Dumas takes on Hayes Jamison.
00:22I've been here for five months. Tatiana's been here for ten.
00:25I feel like I'm gonna have to step up and lead this match.
00:27And in our main event, can Chris Island finally break through
00:31and make Booker T proud?
00:33Show me what you got.
00:34Yes, sir.
00:34Show me what you got.
00:35Yes, sir.
00:36Show me what you got.
00:37Yes, sir.
00:38When he goes mano a mano with the fast-rising Trill London.
00:42I could be about business and have fun and go out there
00:44and still kick your ass.
00:45I'm me.
00:46With playoffs fast approaching,
00:49who will prove to the legends that they deserve an NXT contract?
00:57You can't force being a superstar.
00:59You know, certain people think you can wake up one day and be like,
01:02I'm gonna be a superstar today.
01:04Nah, it comes with hard work and having that in you since day one, since birth.
01:09To me, it's easy because I put in the hard work.
01:11A lot of people don't see the behind the scenes of what goes on in my life.
01:15And, you know, I love people that are showing stuff about me.
01:18They let you know about me,
01:19and the more you convince yourself and think I'm a certain way,
01:22the more it's gonna f*** your head up when you see this s*** than I do.
01:25People shoot for the stars?
01:27Nah.
01:28I want to shoot beyond the stars.
01:30I want to shoot to the galaxy.
01:40Welcome to the ultimate proving ground.
01:4416 future greats.
01:45Four legends.
01:52He is the epitome of WrestleMania!
01:55Aim high, you better aim hard, because I'm gonna do whatever it takes.
01:58Be right!
02:00That's a chance!
02:01Can you dig that, sucker?
02:04A chance to win an NXT contract.
02:09Every legend has a first chapter, and the future starts now.
02:14A future great team of WrestleMania.
02:19Hello, everybody.
02:21Howdy.
02:22I want you to take a look around at one another.
02:26Been a hell of a season.
02:28Maybe some disagreement.
02:30Oh, we're not done yet!
02:32But now, competition is gonna continue,
02:35because next week, the LFG playoffs begin.
02:40A number of you are not gonna be here.
02:44So tonight, a great many of us, including myself,
02:47are gonna be watching with great interest.
02:50Show us why you deserve to be a WWE superstar.
02:54Playoffs are next f***ing week.
02:56I can't believe, like, time flew by so f***ing fast,
02:59so I'm honestly excited to see, you know,
03:01who rises to the occasion and who doesn't.
03:03Six future greats are chosen to lay it on the line,
03:08all of whom either have the least amount of time
03:11at the Performance Center or the fewest points.
03:14If these underdogs don't step up,
03:17their time on LFG may soon come to an end.
03:20My back's against the wall at this point,
03:22but that's nothing new for me.
03:25I have a lot of unfinished business, which makes me dangerous.
03:29And unlike last season,
03:30I don't plan on getting eliminated the first round.
03:33But while they prepare for the challenge ahead,
03:36some of their peers are still riding high
03:38after winning the day for their teams last week.
03:41Anthony Luke, showtime.
03:43There's only one thing I know to do, and that's win.
03:45When I get in that ring, there's nobody like me.
03:49I'm built different.
03:51So when the playoffs start,
03:53I will bring back that NXT contract.
03:56Welcome to our home.
03:59New crib.
04:00I spent so much time on the decor.
04:03Hey, me too.
04:04What are you talking about?
04:04Look at this.
04:05Beautiful.
04:06Did you grocery shop yet?
04:08Yeah, I got a few things.
04:09All right, let's see.
04:09I'm a little hungry, so I hope there's something yummy.
04:12I hope there's something yummy inside.
04:15We're having sleep for dinner.
04:17Sleep for dinner and...
04:19And champagne.
04:19Let's get it.
04:20Ah!
04:22Let's go!
04:25To the winner of LFG Season 2.
04:28Anthony, showtime.
04:30Loom!
04:37Right now, I'm tape studying.
04:40It's something that I do every single day,
04:42pretty much, after training or before training.
04:45And it just helps me expand my knowledge on wrestling.
04:48And I think that watching film
04:50is just equally as important
04:52as going into the ring and physically training.
04:54Not everyone takes it this seriously.
04:57So I know that's what's going to set me apart.
05:00While Anthony and Zena Sterling
05:02look to keep momentum going,
05:03in today's first match,
05:05will Bailey Humphrey be able to shut down
05:07the new but confident Summer Sorrell
05:10and impress the Undertaker,
05:11who has some tough choices to make
05:13in the upcoming playoffs.
05:14Look, I finally got to Dani
05:17and she's stepping up.
05:19I want you to leave no doubt in anybody's mind
05:23that you are the game changer of this division
05:27at Summer's expense.
05:29When Taker told me
05:31I can change the face of women's wrestling,
05:33it took me a while to kind of figure out
05:35in what aspects.
05:36But the more him and I, you know,
05:37have connected and talked,
05:39I truly can see that he wants me
05:40to bring out this intense monster
05:42that, honestly, I feel like we don't have
05:44in the female division.
05:45I look different.
05:46My moves are different.
05:48My presence and my aura
05:49that I bring into the ring
05:50and out of the ring
05:51is just different
05:52from every female I've seen.
05:54If I can borrow this from Coach Booker,
05:57I want to see her be a monster.
06:01I want to see a bona fide, certified killer.
06:06Look, you're the newbie in town.
06:08You're a new kid on block.
06:09Not even on the radar, right?
06:11Yeah.
06:11They're overlooking you,
06:13which is just how, I mean,
06:14honestly, that's how I like it.
06:15Me too.
06:16Underdog.
06:17Summer's the greenhorn around here.
06:19She might be the newest kid
06:20on the entire block.
06:22Summer has a lot to prove.
06:24Not only does she have a lot to prove,
06:25she is going up against
06:26my husband's monster.
06:29I want her to go out there
06:30and just show the other judges,
06:31like, I may be the underdog,
06:33but I'm not scared.
06:34Every single time that I go out there,
06:36I am progressing more.
06:37But at the same time,
06:39I'm getting tired of being told that
06:41you're really good for where you're at.
06:43That's not good enough for me.
06:45I hold myself to a higher standard than that.
06:47What I also need
06:49is I need points.
06:51I'm losing to my wife.
06:53I can't have that.
06:55People really don't understand
06:57what my life will be like at home
07:01if I do not come back
07:03and beat this woman.
07:05I will never hear the end of it
07:08for the rest of eternity.
07:10And then when I get
07:11to the other side of eternity,
07:13I will still be hearing about it.
07:16I don't like losing to my husband.
07:17So go out there.
07:18She can, you know,
07:19be the monster all she wants,
07:20but you go show them what you got.
07:22I will.
07:23I want her to go out there
07:24and not only show these judges
07:25like who Summer is,
07:26I want her to go out there
07:28and give me a point
07:29so I could, you know,
07:31rub it in Bailey's coach's face.
07:35Destroy.
07:35On it.
07:43I've been adjusting my mindset
07:44considering playoffs for next week
07:46and to just show my aggression
07:47on a whole new level
07:48and to not hold anything back
07:50because this is a time period
07:51where I can't.
07:53Going into this match,
07:54Bailey, I know,
07:55is looking to unleash
07:56this monster inside of her.
07:59But you know what?
08:00I have a few tricks up my sleeve
08:02and if you're underestimating me,
08:05that's a big mistake.
08:08We're set for the action to begin
08:10on LFG.
08:12The following contest
08:13is scheduled for one fall.
08:16And choosing first
08:17representing
08:18James Metcalf
08:21from the chocolate.
08:22She's got like a super hero
08:24like brothers and sisters.
08:25I got it.
08:26It is natural.
08:27No way.
08:28Big fan, big fan.
08:31Big fan.
08:32To prove that she has
08:33that grit in her.
08:34I tell you,
08:35she could pick this up, man.
08:36She could be a star.
08:37Oh, I know, but she's already
08:37got it.
08:38She's already got it.
08:38She's already got it.
08:38She's already got it.
08:38That great.
08:39Baby, it's another week
08:40closer to the finals
08:42if you wanted to throw
08:43a label on this week.
08:44It's kind of sudden death
08:46for all the athletes competing.
08:48It certainly is.
08:49We saw some great action
08:50last week from the ladies
08:51tonight.
08:51These girls need to top
08:53what they saw last week
08:54in order to survive.
08:55Oh!
08:57The real pony
08:58represent
09:00the Undertaker.
09:03Unleash.
09:04Unleash.
09:05Unleash.
09:07Be.
09:08Ho.
09:09Free.
09:13No doubt
09:14who the Undertaker
09:15is rooting for tonight.
09:16This new gear?
09:17Yeah.
09:18Like it.
09:19Let's be blunt about it.
09:21The Undertaker has said
09:23you need to unleash
09:26the monster.
09:28And I would not want to be
09:29on the other end of that
09:30if I'm Summer.
09:31I like the red.
09:32I like the black.
09:32All right.
09:33She got some pep in her step.
09:39These are two
09:40very different,
09:43not only individuals,
09:44but different athletes.
09:45Well, they certainly are.
09:46I mean, the power,
09:46the strength,
09:47the Bayley Humphreys,
09:48the quickness,
09:48the agility
09:49that we've seen
09:51Summer Sorrell
09:52this entire season
09:52has been a lot of fun
09:53to watch,
09:54but certainly,
09:54as you mentioned,
09:55definitely contrast
09:56in styles
09:57and personalities
09:58in this matchup.
10:03Should've took a bump.
10:05Oh!
10:09In your face!
10:10Run, Summer!
10:14Run!
10:14Oh, my bad decision.
10:19Ain't no timeouts
10:20in wrestling.
10:21She said timeout!
10:22She said timeout!
10:23She said timeout!
10:23You're a chicken, Summer!
10:25You're a chicken!
10:26She said timeout.
10:28Run, run, run, run!
10:29Run!
10:31Well, I kind of agree
10:32with Bubba.
10:33Run, Summer, run.
10:34You're going to run a lot,
10:35but why'd you get back
10:36in the ring?
10:36Feet don't fail me now.
10:38Look at this.
10:38I mean, is it wise
10:40to truly slap a monster?
10:42Not when they're
10:43Bailey Humphreys
10:43and not when you can
10:44demonstrate that kind
10:46of power and strength
10:47as Summer Sorrell
10:48is finding out firsthand.
10:50Well, look, for Summer,
10:50she's new,
10:51she's confident,
10:52but she needs to prove
10:53that she can be
10:54a top contender
10:55in the WWE.
10:59Oh, that's what
11:01she hit me with.
11:04Almost brought all
11:04of our legends
11:05out of their seats
11:06because Bailey is doing
11:08just what The Undertaker
11:09asked her to do,
11:11unleash that
11:12unforgiving monster.
11:14Nice counter, though.
11:15Look at this.
11:17Summer Sorrell
11:17doing everything she can.
11:18Obviously,
11:19this is her first season
11:20on LFG.
11:21Still relatively
11:22new to the world.
11:24Tamara,
11:24a little more impact there,
11:26a little more impact.
11:27Oh, nice.
11:32Oh, we got to go.
11:33No, no, no.
11:33We got to...
11:34Ah!
11:36Finding out it's a little
11:36bit tougher than maybe
11:38she would have imagined.
11:39Shooting the half
11:40into the cover,
11:40hook of the leg,
11:41and powering out
11:42is Bailey again.
11:43This is really
11:44do or die
11:45for the women
11:45here on LFG.
11:47One chance
11:47to showcase their skills.
11:49Big money Bailey.
11:51Big money Bailey.
11:52Should say one final chance
11:54to showcase their skills.
11:55Well, this would be
11:56one final chance
11:57for Summer Sorrell
11:59to enjoy her physicality,
12:01enjoy her health
12:02while she has it.
12:03Look at this.
12:06Wow.
12:08Strength demonstrated.
12:09Bailey Humphreys.
12:11That was a nice counter.
12:13And again,
12:13everything both
12:14these women have learned.
12:15There's been a lot of good,
12:17there's been a lot of bad,
12:17but it's all been
12:18a learning experience.
12:22Dang,
12:24she literally made
12:24this hard on me.
12:25Crap.
12:28Could it be
12:28one of these two women
12:29awarded a contract
12:31from Shawn Michaels?
12:33Easy, easy, easy.
12:36Nice, Summer.
12:37Nice.
12:38Good for you.
12:40Very good.
12:41Very good.
12:43Here's your winner,
12:44Bailey Humphreys.
12:49Monster Unleashed.
12:52Tonight.
12:53Dominant showing
12:54for Bailey,
12:55but certainly Summer Sorrell
12:57in there as well.
12:58Pretty good showing
12:58for both ladies
12:59here on LFG.
13:06The feeling you get
13:07when you fight someone
13:08the way I did with Summer,
13:09it brings like
13:10a different type of emotion,
13:12a different type of fire
13:13that honestly like
13:14makes you shake.
13:15I feel like I'm finally
13:16starting to grow
13:17and, you know,
13:19change into that
13:19true killer monster
13:20that Taker's been
13:21wanting from me
13:22and it's exhilarating.
13:24While Bailey basks
13:26in the glory
13:26of her resounding victory,
13:28Tatiana Dumas
13:29and Hayes Jameson
13:30are next in line
13:31to try and prove
13:32their dominance.
13:33Up next,
13:40Tatiana Dumas
13:41will take on
13:41the feisty
13:42Hayes Jameson.
13:44Tatiana has one
13:45of the sharpest
13:45mouths around,
13:47but will she be able
13:48to be just as sharp
13:49in the ring?
13:50Tatiana,
13:51I must say
13:52I have my work
13:53cut out for me.
13:53I'm not going to sit
13:54here sugar-coated,
13:55but I can tell you this.
13:57You remember
13:57the tarnest in the air?
14:03We may move slowly,
14:06but we're going to
14:06get there in due time.
14:09I have improved
14:10so much
14:11and I finally
14:12got out of my head
14:13that if I fail,
14:15it's okay.
14:16I think that this
14:16is a great opportunity
14:17to grab someone
14:18I started off Rocky with
14:19and create
14:20a masterclass from this.
14:22It could be
14:22something as simple
14:23as grabbing someone
14:24in the headlock
14:24and doing this.
14:26Grabbing the head.
14:26That little bitty stuff
14:27for me
14:28is everything.
14:29Action is movement,
14:30not the actual move.
14:31All right?
14:32Let's get it done.
14:34It's kind of a big
14:34match for you tonight.
14:35Are you ready to go?
14:36Hell yeah.
14:37Yeah?
14:37Any concerns?
14:40I mean,
14:42I guess just
14:42making sure everything's
14:44safe and sound.
14:46Has it ever not been
14:47safe with Tatiana
14:47in the ring?
14:51Way back week one,
14:52I got dropped
14:55on my head
14:56by Tatiana
14:57everybody knows it.
14:58It's on national
14:59television.
15:00F***, f***, f***,
15:02f***, f***.
15:02You know,
15:03f*** it happens.
15:04But at this point,
15:04I feel like I'm gonna
15:05have to step up
15:06and lead this match.
15:07This girl,
15:08she runs her mouth a lot.
15:11Yeah.
15:12Yeah?
15:12Yeah.
15:13She's been here
15:14longer than you.
15:16I think you're
15:17better than her.
15:18100%.
15:19A lot of the athletes
15:21here say I have
15:21the biggest mouth.
15:23But I feel like
15:23you cannot walk
15:25in that door
15:25and immediately say
15:26that you are better
15:27than me when you
15:28have no idea
15:28how to spray tell,
15:30how to put together
15:31all the pieces
15:32of a character
15:32and how to entertain.
15:34I've shown that
15:35I can entertain
15:36the people that are
15:37invested.
15:38They want to see
15:39more of me.
15:39They are believing
15:41what I'm giving.
15:42To me,
15:43this is about the people
15:44and what I can do
15:45for the company.
15:46These girls see me
15:47as a threat.
15:48And that's the problem
15:49here.
15:49The only thing
15:50that they can have
15:51on me is the little
15:52bits and pieces
15:53of wrestling
15:53that I don't
15:54understand yet.
15:55But when I figure
15:57that out,
15:58this is a wrap.
15:59And I'm going
16:00to stand on that
16:01till the day I die.
16:04I want the judges
16:05talking about you first.
16:07I want Tay to go,
16:08wow, Hayes.
16:09I want Michelle
16:09to go, wow, Hayes.
16:11I want Booker to go,
16:12I'm Booker T.
16:12I'm the best of all time
16:13because you can
16:14that Booker has
16:15to talk about
16:15himself first, right?
16:17Yeah.
16:18Give me all of this
16:19to the next level.
16:21Okay.
16:22Hayes pops.
16:24The spotlight
16:25loves Hayes Jameson.
16:27Let's bring that
16:28character out even more.
16:31This experience
16:32has been crazy.
16:33Like, the pressure
16:33is on all the time.
16:35And I feel like
16:36going into this season,
16:38my purpose was
16:38to be fun
16:39and tap into
16:40the wild child energy.
16:42So at this point,
16:43like, I'm not going
16:43to be all bark,
16:44no bite.
16:45You know,
16:46for Tatiana
16:46to be able
16:47to pull all this together,
16:49you know,
16:49you can take
16:50a horse to water,
16:51but you can't
16:52make them drink.
16:53They got to be able
16:54to do that themselves.
16:56With the clock
16:57ticking down,
16:58this is Hayes
16:58and Tatiana's chance
16:59to prove
17:00of why they deserve
17:01that NXT contract.
17:03Going into the playoffs,
17:05regardless of the outcome,
17:07the people have my back.
17:09And that's all I care about.
17:14The following contest
17:16is scheduled for one fall.
17:19Introducing first,
17:20representing Team Booker T.
17:24From Sydney, Australia.
17:27I like the LeBron
17:28stick-em-throw-in-the-
17:29LeBron!
17:32There's a one
17:32of the more polarizing
17:33figures here on LFG.
17:35Tatiana Dumas
17:36never holds back,
17:38doesn't miss words,
17:39lets you know
17:39where you stand with her.
17:41I like it.
17:42But look,
17:42she talks a big game.
17:44That's what we both
17:45can agree on,
17:45but she has to be able
17:46to back up
17:47her ring work
17:49with anything she says.
17:51You can talk
17:51all you want,
17:52but if you don't
17:52step foot in the ring
17:53and get the job done,
17:54the legends see
17:55through that,
17:56in my opinion.
17:58This is kind of
17:59the last opportunity
18:00for her.
18:04For better or for worse.
18:07But again,
18:08you gotta have your best
18:09here tonight on LFG.
18:11And her opponent
18:13representing
18:15Team Boba Ray
18:17from Rockford, Illinois,
18:22Hayes
18:23Teeveson!
18:27Oh!
18:28Oh!
18:29Oh, look at the...
18:31Oh, yeah!
18:32Oh, yeah!
18:33Strike them behind!
18:34Get on her!
18:38Get out of there, Hayes!
18:40Beat it up!
18:41Get the hell out of her!
18:43Come on, let's go!
18:44Back it up!
18:44Back it up!
18:45Back it up!
18:46No mercy!
18:48What?
18:49No mercy!
18:49No mercy!
18:53Hey!
18:54Come on,
18:54knock it off!
18:55Come on, Hayes!
18:57Come on, let's go!
18:58Back it up!
18:58Okay, back it up!
18:59Back it up!
19:00No mercy!
19:02You good?
19:03Whatever!
19:03You're fine!
19:06I haven't seen
19:07Bubba this unglued
19:08in a long time.
19:09I also don't
19:10recall any match
19:11starting this way
19:12here on LFG
19:13ever!
19:13One, two, three, four!
19:16Lady s***ing brother!
19:17Lady s***ing brother!
19:20Bubba has challenged
19:21Hayes, Jameson
19:23in multiple different ways
19:24and we started
19:24season two.
19:26I believe she had
19:26blonde hair.
19:27She sure did.
19:28Now she's got peak hair.
19:28She has changed
19:29dramatically over the course
19:30of this broadcast
19:32but that's the challenging
19:33way that she put forth
19:34by what Bubba said.
19:35Hey, no coaching.
19:36Oh, sorry.
19:39Bubba made
19:40new challenges.
19:41Challenged her
19:42to take new avenues.
19:43Oh!
19:45Look at the leg!
19:47I don't remember
19:48that spot.
19:51We talk about
19:52both these women again.
19:53We talk about
19:54a polarizing individual.
19:56Hayes Jameson
19:56the same way
19:57since she came in here.
19:58This is her
19:59first season.
20:00She's been asked
20:00to do a lot of things
20:01and she has stepped
20:02up to the plate.
20:03Okay.
20:03Okay.
20:06Firecracker,
20:07if you will.
20:08I think she's fun
20:08to watch.
20:09There's no question
20:09about it
20:09since she turned pink,
20:11if you will.
20:12Changed the hairstyle,
20:13changed the attitude,
20:13a whole new way
20:14to go about things.
20:15She's going to be good.
20:16Her instincts,
20:18for the most part,
20:19you know,
20:19a little bit too much
20:20interaction with them
20:21but her heel stuff
20:24that she does
20:24is good.
20:25You hear the legends
20:26conversating
20:27about this matchup.
20:28You think about
20:28everything that they
20:29have taught
20:30all the athletes
20:31and here tonight
20:32for the women,
20:33you talk about
20:34this is the one
20:35last opportunity,
20:36one last gasp
20:38that they can show
20:38that they are,
20:39they are worthy
20:40of continuing
20:42on this journey.
20:43They are worthy
20:43of trying to get
20:44to the finals
20:45that they are indeed
20:46worthy to get
20:47offered a contract
20:47from Shawn Michaels
20:49to join the ranks
20:50of the women's division
20:51on NXT.
20:52Well, let's not forget
20:53the stakes
20:53that never retire
20:54next week.
20:56Eliminations start.
20:57We say goodbye
20:58to competitors
20:59here on LFG
21:00and that means
21:00the pressure's on
21:01to question
21:03a survival
21:03at this point.
21:05Come on guys,
21:06come on.
21:06It's only been
21:07two minutes in
21:08and it can't be
21:08that beat up.
21:10And all these athletes
21:11really have to put forth
21:12everything they've learned
21:13every single week,
21:14every up,
21:14every down,
21:15every slip,
21:16every moment
21:17that they've had,
21:18the good and the bad.
21:19This is their time
21:20to put it all
21:21into one moment
21:22to open the eyes
21:24of the legends.
21:25Oh, oh, missed.
21:26Well, with the pressures on
21:29and, you know,
21:30life-changing opportunities
21:32await to the winner,
21:33both male and female,
21:35NXT contracts
21:36hanging in the balance
21:37and right now,
21:37Tatiana Dumas
21:38throwing those right hands
21:39to Hayes Jamison.
21:41She's got to throw rights,
21:42throw lefts,
21:42whatever she can
21:43to impress these legends
21:44that continue
21:45on this journey
21:47here on LFG.
21:48She's just wailing away.
21:50Oh, yeah.
21:54Too speed on it.
21:56Could be a pivotal moment
21:58in this matchup.
21:59Strength on display,
22:00looking for a slam.
22:01Up that head.
22:04Letting her think about it.
22:06Boom!
22:12Another kick out by James.
22:13So much competition
22:19going on.
22:19You've got Panina,
22:20you've got Zena,
22:22you've got Tatiana Dumas.
22:23There's so many great
22:24athletes competing
22:25for this contract.
22:26Bailey Summer,
22:26who we saw.
22:27Bailey Summer,
22:28yeah, absolutely.
22:29On LFG.
22:30Oh, nice takedown.
22:32Hold on.
22:32There you go, Hayes.
22:33With an assist.
22:34Oh, she cheated,
22:36you dirty dog.
22:37Hayes put her foot
22:38on the ropes
22:39for an assist.
22:40That's illegal.
22:41Jameson stole it.
22:48What message
22:49did you just send
22:50to the entire
22:51LFG universe?
22:52That I'm not here
22:52to f*** around.
22:53I think a lot of people
22:54maybe mistake my,
22:55like, dopeness
22:56for weakness
22:56in the beginning
22:57of all of this.
22:58I think this shift
23:00has helped me
23:01tap into, like,
23:02a different part
23:03of my personality
23:03for whatever's
23:04in the future.
23:06So, I'm excited
23:08to keep that energy up
23:09and just be a chicken s***
23:11if they want me
23:11to be a chicken s***.
23:12While Hayes embraces
23:14her new role,
23:15in our main event,
23:17Chris Island
23:17will look to prove
23:18he deserves
23:19all the respect
23:20in his battle
23:21against the high-flying
23:22Trill London.
23:24Eliminations are
23:25a week away
23:26and they're feeling
23:27the heat.
23:28You ready?
23:29Yeah, I'm ready.
23:30You know Chris Island
23:31is going to bring it.
23:32You know Book's
23:32got some indebtive
23:33against you,
23:34this whole Jeff Hardy crap.
23:36Well, people think
23:37they know they're
23:38not cool themselves.
23:39They try to bring down
23:40the coolest person.
23:41I get it, I get it.
23:42Hey, look,
23:43I know you stand out
23:44in the crowd.
23:44I'm not worried
23:45about you standing
23:45out in the crowd.
23:46But I want to bring
23:47a little extra pop tonight.
23:49Because here's the thing,
23:49playoffs are,
23:50they're here.
23:51Eliminations are coming.
23:53I'm not trying
23:53to lose my Trill.
23:54Trill has constantly
23:56been compared
23:56to Jeff Hardy.
23:57How he moves,
23:58how he acts,
23:59how he dresses.
24:01What they don't understand
24:02is that Trill is Trill.
24:04Trill is an artist.
24:05Trill is a stud athlete.
24:07I just wanted
24:08what I see in him
24:10to be evident
24:11to the others.
24:13Everybody's talking
24:14about Trill London,
24:16the new kid on the block.
24:18The flavor of the month,
24:20that's what I call it.
24:21He's going to come in,
24:22he's going to be
24:22flipping around,
24:23he's going to be
24:23trying to showboat,
24:25he's going to be
24:25trying to outshine you,
24:27all right?
24:27Every time he jump,
24:29I need you to hit
24:30his poke ass,
24:31all right?
24:31I need you to knock
24:33his dick in the dirt.
24:34You feel me?
24:35That's all I need to do.
24:36Apologize later.
24:38Personally,
24:38I got a rocky
24:39relationship with my dad,
24:40but now that I got
24:42somebody like Booker
24:42in my corner
24:43who's actually here daily
24:44and who's actually
24:45here seeing me,
24:46more than anything,
24:46I want Book to get
24:47out of his seat
24:48and clap.
24:49I want him to stand up
24:50and say,
24:51that's my boy.
24:52That's my boy right there.
24:54You see Chris Island?
24:55That's my guy.
24:56That means everything to me
24:58because I can't do
24:59that for myself.
25:00It's time to really
25:01go in the war room.
25:02It's time to put
25:02the black mask on
25:04and go into
25:05self-interrogation mode.
25:08I feel it.
25:08I can feel it
25:09in my bones
25:10that I can bring it
25:12out of Chris Island.
25:13Show me what you got.
25:14Yes, sir.
25:14Show me what you got.
25:15Yes, sir.
25:15Show me what you got.
25:16Yes, sir.
25:17Chris is eager to prove
25:32himself, but before
25:33making it to the ring,
25:35he and his opponent
25:35size each other up.
25:37I know what it's like.
25:38It's your first season.
25:39I know what it's like.
25:39No, you don't know what it's like.
25:40I know what it's like.
25:41You don't know what it's like.
25:42I'm in a different position
25:43right now.
25:43You are.
25:44But you was also
25:45on season one, right?
25:45Exactly.
25:46And I was having fun then.
25:47Did you win season one?
25:48Why not?
25:48Because I was having fun
25:49just like you are right now.
25:50There's no more fun.
25:52For you.
25:53I'm not you.
25:53That's the difference
25:54between you and me.
25:55I can have fun.
25:55I can be about business
25:56and have fun
25:57and go out there
25:57and still kick my ass.
25:58Hey, who are you?
25:58Who are you?
25:59I'm me.
25:59The guy who's going
26:01to kick my ass?
26:01I'm me.
26:02That's you?
26:02Yes.
26:03A lot of people
26:03aren't blessed enough
26:04to come into this job
26:05knowing who they are
26:07and that's the hardest part
26:08about this business.
26:09It's just going to take
26:10some time for him
26:10to figure out who he is.
26:12We got Trill London
26:13who just show up
26:14and want to be Jeff Hardy
26:15and he do two backflips
26:17and for some reason
26:18people can't stop
26:19talking about him.
26:20You know what I mean?
26:21You could climb
26:22to the top of the rope
26:23and you could do
26:24a double, quadruple,
26:25450, 760, 280 flip
26:28and try and take me out
26:30and I'm still
26:32going to beat your ass.
26:33You done played ball.
26:34That's what I'm trying
26:35to tell you.
26:35This ain't ball.
26:36It's not.
26:36It's easy.
26:37It's easy.
26:38It's easy.
26:39It's easy.
26:39It's easy.
26:41You went for a long night.
26:42It's easy.
26:43Okay.
26:44Watch how easy
26:44I make this shit
26:45I ask you after.
26:46Watch how easy
26:46I make this shit
26:47I got there after.
26:48All right.
26:49It's a regular day
26:50in the park for me, bro.
26:53Don't call my shit easy.
26:55What I do is easy.
26:56What I do is easy.
26:57It looks in my head
26:59right now.
27:00Trill's an athlete.
27:02He's a hell of an athlete.
27:03He's coming to this season
27:04and just boom.
27:06I think that right there
27:07is the one thing
27:08that's going to be
27:08holding Chris back.
27:09Thinking about the other guy.
27:11You can't think about
27:12the other guy in this business.
27:13You got to think
27:14about yourself.
27:15There is no tomorrow.
27:16There is no tomorrow.
27:17There is.
27:18There is.
27:19That's
27:19there is no tomorrow.
27:21Let's get this done.
27:22Let's get it done.
27:23You feel me?
27:24You feel me?
27:27Welcome in ringside.
27:40Big Joseph
27:41alongside Jeremy Borash.
27:42And it's another week
27:43for our athletes
27:44to prove themselves.
27:46It is a proving ground.
27:47It is a journey
27:48that we are following
27:49each and every week
27:50here on LFG.
27:52and we are kicking things off
27:53with a matchup
27:54featuring a member
27:56of Team Michelle McCool
27:57versus a member
27:59of Team Booker.
28:01Let's do it.
28:02This is not a game.
28:03You got nothing to it
28:04but to do it.
28:05You feel me?
28:05This is life.
28:06Let's do it.
28:07We put blood,
28:08sway,
28:08and tears
28:08into this.
28:10So far.
28:10I pushed that weight
28:11to get that dome
28:12and I don't break
28:13because I've been wrong.
28:13The following contest
28:15is scheduled for
28:16one fall.
28:18Introducing first
28:19representing Team
28:21Booker T
28:22Chris Island.
28:25I joke a lot
28:26about my NXT broadcast
28:27partner Booker T.
28:28Yeah.
28:29But Booker seems
28:30to bring out the best
28:32in those that he's able
28:34to help mold
28:34because the Chris Island
28:36that at least
28:36I'm looking at, JB,
28:38is far different
28:39than the Chris Island
28:40we first set eyes on
28:42in Season 1.
28:43He has evolved.
28:44He is tired
28:45of being dismissed
28:46to put it in a nutshell
28:48and he still needs
28:49to make a believer
28:50out of Booker T.
28:51That is his biggest challenge
28:52so far in Season 2.
28:54He has an opportunity
28:55to do that tonight
28:56against a member
28:58of Team
28:59Michelle McCool.
29:10And he's going to put
29:11to represent Team
29:13Team McCool
29:14Trill London.
29:19You know, JB,
29:19for the legend
29:21that you are,
29:21all the athletes,
29:23all the wrestlers,
29:24all the superstars
29:25that you've been around,
29:26sometimes it's hard,
29:28so to speak,
29:29to pull something
29:30out of an athlete
29:31to make them reach
29:32their full potential.
29:34For Trill London,
29:35there is no need
29:36to try to push him
29:37because he is always
29:38pushing the limit
29:39whether he's in the ring
29:41or out of the ring.
29:44Oh, yeah, baby!
29:46You see that?
29:47Chris Island takes it
29:48to Trill London.
29:49You see Chris Island.
29:50He's got the gloves
29:51on right now.
29:52I had a chance
29:52to talk to him
29:53throughout the week
29:54about the different look,
29:55so to speak,
29:56than what we had
29:57typically seen him in.
29:58He said,
29:58I'm going back
29:59to my childhood.
30:00I'm going back
30:00to what I was taught
30:01as a young man
30:02in judo,
30:03growing up,
30:04trying to learn
30:05how to keep myself
30:05composed and to fight.
30:07And right now,
30:08this is turning
30:08into an all-out brawl.
30:10You're grinding!
30:11Come on, Trill!
30:17Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
30:18Wait a minute!
30:19Oh!
30:20Hey!
30:22Told you don't have
30:23to push him
30:23to the limit
30:24because he's always
30:25got his foot on the gas!
30:26Trill London!
30:27You know,
30:35I go out there
30:36and I feel like
30:36I'm a video game character
30:38and I'm, like,
30:39controlling myself
30:40when I'm out there,
30:41so I'm just doing
30:41everything that I would
30:42do in a video game.
30:51Woo!
30:52Oh, I can fly!
30:54Let's not forget,
30:55Chris Island is a man
30:56who is really fine
30:57as being a top contender,
30:58but when Booker T
30:59picked Harlem Lewis
31:00on Team Booker
31:01as the standout,
31:02as the number one
31:03on the team,
31:03that was a reality check
31:04for Chris Island,
31:05and since that time,
31:06he's been full-on aggressive.
31:07Wow, what in the world
31:09are we witnessing right now?
31:10Take a look!
31:12And it's amazing to think
31:13this man went
31:14from the gridiron
31:15to a wrestling ring.
31:16Cover, count,
31:17and a kickout.
31:19But, man,
31:19we always sit here
31:20and we talk, JB.
31:21This athlete's had
31:22four or five matches.
31:24This athlete,
31:24this is his first match.
31:26It's not like
31:26Trill London
31:27that has been around
31:28for two, three years
31:29in the program.
31:30Now, by all standards,
31:31he is a rookie.
31:32He is a beginner.
31:34He is a newbie.
31:35He is ripping the hair.
31:37And Chris Island
31:37still the same.
31:38Both these guys
31:39less than a year
31:40experience here
31:40at the Performance Center.
31:41Are you kidding me?
31:42And think of the potential.
31:44That's what this is.
31:44Raw potential
31:45we're seeing in the ring.
31:46Booker T hit Chris Island
31:48with the right E3 quote
31:49earlier today.
31:50There is no tomorrow.
31:52And with the playoffs
31:52looming just weeks away,
31:54Chris Island knows
31:55it's cutting time
31:56and he needs to be
31:57at the top of the heap.
31:58This is a reminder
31:58for everyone watching.
32:00It's not about the wins
32:01and the losses.
32:01It's about opening the eyes
32:03of the legends
32:05of your coaches
32:06earning a point
32:08at the end
32:09of each LFG.
32:11Will one of these
32:12two men
32:12be able to put
32:14a little extra notch
32:15in their belt
32:16trying to create
32:16a little separation?
32:17Big right hand
32:18in his own right
32:19from Trill London.
32:20We always talk about
32:21the high-flying,
32:21the daredevil attitude.
32:22Looks like he's trying
32:23to throw rights,
32:24lefts,
32:24but Chris Island
32:25just placked
32:26London's center
32:27of the ring.
32:28Well, you're seeing
32:28that aggression.
32:29You're seeing that
32:30confidence.
32:31Both legs
32:32near fall.
32:33And certainly what
32:34Chris Island brings
32:36to the table,
32:36it's very much
32:37a work in progress
32:38in some ways,
32:40but it's also
32:40the fact he has
32:42the pieces
32:42of the puzzle
32:43to be put in place
32:45and if he can do
32:46just that,
32:46he is going to do
32:47very well
32:48in this industry.
32:49With a point of that
32:50knee right to the
32:50small of the back
32:51almost enjoying,
32:53punishing his opponent
32:54as Chris Island
32:55to our left,
32:56sitting high above us
32:57are the legends.
32:58Well, you've got to
32:58remember,
32:58Michelle McCool
32:59and Booker T,
33:00they both have
33:01so much time
33:02invested in these two
33:03from a personal
33:03and professional
33:04standpoint.
33:05You've got to be both.
33:06You've got to be a mentor,
33:07you've got to be a coach
33:08to succeed in LFG.
33:12There they are.
33:15Good time I've ever
33:16seen them, you know?
33:16Yeah, yeah, yeah.
33:17That's for sure.
33:19Not Russian.
33:20Got that black belt.
33:22That's it.
33:23When we talk about
33:23the draft,
33:24Michelle McCool
33:25shook things up
33:26right out of the gate.
33:28And it paid off.
33:30Trill Lundin
33:30has really showed up
33:31this season
33:32in a tough spot now,
33:33but week after week
33:34he's shown
33:35he has the competitive
33:36nature to stand
33:38with the best
33:38here on LFG.
33:39JB,
33:40is this what you were
33:40alluding to
33:41when it came to
33:42Booker talking
33:42to Chris Island?
33:43Chris Island could have
33:44went for maybe
33:44a pinfall,
33:46could have tried
33:46to put away
33:47Trill Lundin,
33:48but instead
33:48he's trying to punish
33:50his opponent
33:50and he's focused
33:51on the lower back
33:52here tonight.
33:53He's trying to,
33:54you know,
33:54he's tired of being
33:54dismissed.
33:55He wants to show
33:56that aggression.
33:57He wants to make
33:58a believer
33:59out of Booker T
34:00and these great fans.
34:02In order to do that,
34:03he has to excel,
34:04he has to be more
34:04aggressive,
34:05and he has to take
34:06the fight to Trill
34:07Lundin.
34:09Couple of body shots,
34:10couple of stinging
34:11rights,
34:11and then just one
34:12knee to the stomach.
34:14Shutting down
34:15Lundin.
34:16Lundin, though,
34:16nice counter
34:17and delivered a
34:17stiff forearm
34:19by another one.
34:21Third time
34:22wasn't the charm
34:23and then,
34:24whoa,
34:24up over,
34:25just got enough
34:26to rip down
34:27Island into the mat.
34:28And this,
34:28that unique offense
34:30Trill Lundin
34:31possesses.
34:32Sorry.
34:32A daredevil
34:35by nature,
34:36not afraid
34:36to take risks,
34:38going to the top
34:39now to do
34:40just that.
34:43Oh,
34:44the knees
34:44to the spine.
34:46Was looking
34:46for that swan time.
34:48Remember the lower
34:49back.
34:50Island from,
34:51oh,
34:51JV,
34:51Island's got the tights.
34:53Chipped and weighted,
34:54finally,
34:55a little extra
34:55for Island.
34:57He steals it.
34:59He's got a cheater.
35:01Cheater on your head.
35:01Yes.
35:02Island.
35:05After all is said
35:06and done,
35:06resorted to
35:07pulling the tights
35:08but also
35:09knew that
35:10Booker,
35:11watching from above,
35:12would be happy
35:12with the win
35:13no matter what
35:14he had to do
35:16to get there.
35:17He pulled the tights.
35:18He pulled the tights.
35:19He pulled the tights.
35:21I didn't think that.
35:22He pulled the tights.
35:23I saw nothing.
35:24Chris Island
35:25victorious
35:26here on LNG.
35:27Booker said
35:39it's live or die
35:40right now.
35:40I got to do it.
35:41He said,
35:42say sorry later.
35:43I say sorry later.
35:45You know what I'm saying?
35:47Ain't nothing else.
35:48They don't give it to me now.
35:49They never going to give it to me.
35:50Don't try me.
35:55Finally,
35:55give me my respect.
35:57You know what I'm saying?
35:58Everybody know now.
36:00Everybody saw it.
36:00The future greats
36:03have left it all
36:04in the ring
36:05and now
36:05it's finally time
36:07to hear
36:07which of them
36:08impressed the legends
36:09enough to earn points
36:10for their teams.
36:11Legends and future greats,
36:13we are one week away
36:16from the LFG
36:17season two playoffs.
36:19This is your last chance
36:20to impress the legends.
36:22Undertaker,
36:23which of the ladies
36:24get your vote here today?
36:26Hayes,
36:27Summer,
36:27for where you guys are,
36:29to be even
36:29in consideration,
36:30is a testament
36:31to the work
36:32that you're putting in.
36:33My vote though
36:34goes for Bayley.
36:38Bubba Ray?
36:39I can definitely understand
36:41why he voted for your belly.
36:42You and Summer
36:43did a good job.
36:44But I saw something tonight
36:48in Tatiana and Hayes
36:50that was completely unexpected.
36:54I think we were all
36:55wowed by the match.
36:58But Hayes,
36:58you are
36:59a shining star
37:01and you get my vote.
37:05Okay.
37:06Vote for Hayes.
37:06See who's gonna get jealous.
37:08I hope so.
37:10Booker T,
37:12which way are you voting?
37:14The one thing I saw,
37:16something that we don't
37:17see enough of,
37:19and that's somebody
37:19go out there
37:20and sail to the point
37:21to where their opponent
37:22looked better
37:23than they ever
37:24could look out there
37:26with anybody else.
37:28Tatiana went out there
37:29and did that.
37:31Tatiana worked
37:31from the bottom.
37:33How many times
37:33you see somebody
37:34work from the bottom
37:35like that?
37:35Get the fans
37:36totally invested.
37:39Tatiana
37:39should have gotten
37:41everybody's damn vote
37:43on this panel
37:44as far as I'm concerned.
37:46Tatiana gets my vote.
37:49Bailey,
37:50Hayes,
37:50Tatiana,
37:52Michelle,
37:53this comes down
37:53to you.
37:55Dang it.
37:55Summer,
38:03you've come so far.
38:04You've come so far.
38:05We're at the tail end
38:06of this thing
38:06where it really,
38:07really matters, right?
38:09Bailey,
38:09you continue to impress.
38:11Your presence is amazing
38:12when you get out here.
38:14Tatiana,
38:14like everybody said,
38:15you're best outing tonight.
38:16But my vote tonight,
38:18and I've been wanting
38:19to give you a vote
38:20because I love
38:21watching you.
38:22I can't believe
38:23you've been here
38:23for such a short amount
38:25of time.
38:25My vote goes for Hayes.
38:29All right,
38:30Hayes,
38:31top female here today.
38:34And congratulations,
38:35Bubba Ray,
38:36with a point
38:37for your team.
38:38I'm like,
38:39there's no way.
38:40Like,
38:41let's go.
38:42The week before playoffs,
38:43I get a point.
38:45Let's go, dude.
38:47Seeing Hayes
38:49earn points
38:50for this team
38:51truly makes me happy.
38:54That point
38:54told Hayes,
38:55I'm working hard,
38:57it's paying off,
38:59and I belong here.
39:01Now,
39:02let's get to the votes
39:03for the best male
39:05here today.
39:07Chris,
39:07I promise you,
39:09one day you're going
39:10to have a smile
39:10on your face.
39:13One day,
39:14the light bulb's
39:15going to go off,
39:15and it's all
39:16going to come together.
39:17it's just
39:18the nature
39:19of the beast
39:20sometimes.
39:22Trill,
39:22you get my vote.
39:24I have to vote Trill
39:25because I just
39:26was captivated
39:27with your performance.
39:28And I know
39:29it doesn't happen
39:29without Chris's help,
39:31but it stood out.
39:33Chris,
39:34we all see it.
39:35We do.
39:35And I just want you
39:36to know that we see it.
39:38Trill,
39:39you're stepping up
39:40at the exact right time,
39:41and I'm glad
39:41that they're noticing.
39:43You got my vote.
39:44Book,
39:46that's three
39:47votes for Trill.
39:49You know what?
39:51My vote is
39:52it's a bunch
39:54of bull
39:54that's my vote.
39:59That's one vote
40:00for bull
40:00and three votes
40:02for Trill.
40:04Congratulations,
40:05Trill.
40:08And congratulations,
40:10Team McCool
40:11with the point.
40:12I'm on a f***ing
40:13roll right now, baby.
40:15It's going to take
40:15a lot to stop me
40:16right now.
40:16I ain't going to lie.
40:18You know,
40:18there's a lot of hard
40:18hitters on this show
40:19right now,
40:19and I've said
40:20multiple times,
40:21I don't think
40:22nobody can f*** with me,
40:23and that's me being humble.
40:24You know,
40:25I believe in my abilities,
40:26but nobody can f***
40:27with me
40:27when I'm in that mode.
40:29With the points awarded,
40:31Team Bubba
40:32gains some traction,
40:33while Team McCool
40:34further expands
40:35its lead.
40:36As for the future greats,
40:38Hayes Jameson
40:39is now on the board,
40:40and Trill London
40:41vaults into a tie
40:42for first place
40:43among the men.
40:47However,
40:48not everybody
40:49is happy
40:50with the day's results.
40:52I feel like
40:53there's nothing else left.
40:55Like,
40:55you know what
40:56they said to me tonight?
40:57They said,
40:57one point bulls***,
40:58three points Trill.
40:59I'll never forget that
41:00ever again in my life.
41:03At this point,
41:04I'm worried for anybody
41:05who got to step
41:06in the ring with me
41:06because I got
41:07nothing left to lose.
41:08I haven't seen that kid
41:10in a long time.
41:11I put him away
41:11a long time ago.
41:13But when that kid
41:13really let loose,
41:14it's some greatness
41:17that can happen,
41:18but it's also
41:18a lot of danger
41:19that come with it.
41:20But that's all
41:20I can really say
41:21at this point.
41:22I just got to get out of here.
41:23Next time on LFG.
41:35The playoffs
41:36are starting today.
41:38Now the competition
41:41starts.
41:42Somebody's ass
41:44is going home.
41:45It is playoff time.
41:47There is no tomorrow.
41:50This is my competition now.
41:52He's fucking
41:53I'm this Mr. Nice guy.
41:55Mr. Nice guy.
41:56Everybody knows
41:57who's going to be
41:58in the finals,
41:58who's going to be
41:58in the playoffs.
41:59I don't expect to be
42:00out of this competition
42:01anytime soon.
42:02I'm going to be locked in.
42:03I'm going to be ready
42:04to roll and go out there
42:05and prove to everyone
42:06that the Bayou Boy
42:08is coming for that
42:08NXT contract.
42:10When you find
42:11something in you
42:12that you didn't know
42:13was there,
42:14you become dangerous.
42:16Ladies,
42:17it's going to be
42:18up to your legends.
42:20Their discretion.
42:21Make this
42:22as difficult
42:23on me
42:24as you possibly can.
42:27If it was me,
42:29I know who I'd be big.
42:31So many great athletes
42:32at the top
42:33of their game.
42:33Not such an easy
42:34decision now.
42:36I'm not taking it easy.
42:37I'm not playing light.
42:38This season,
42:39that NXT contract
42:40is mine.
42:41Somebody on my team
42:42is going to take
42:42that contract
42:43and it might be
42:43two somebodies.
42:45Don't come sit by me.
42:46Don't come and try
42:46to chop it up with me.
42:47I'm locked in
42:48and I'm ready
42:49to take it all.
42:49You finna have
42:50a match right now?
42:51No,
42:51you got to be
42:52for real,
42:52for real.
42:53Hey,
