00:00Then.
00:07Now.
00:16Forever.
00:24Together.
00:39We're seeing Cam on LFG. He's practicing. He's seeing LFG happening. He wants a match in the worst way. But
00:47we as a coaching staff felt we needed to keep him dialed in, refocused for the right time.
00:54I'm going to pull you from LFG for a couple of weeks. All right. Maybe longer. Now, go to work.
01:00Yes, sir.
01:02How you feeling? What's up, coach? I'm feeling good.
01:04Yes, sir. Getting a little extra in?
01:06Yeah. Extra word, baby. That's all I know.
01:11It's a bad feeling, you know, not being on the show. I want to be on LFG. LFG is what
01:16represents me.
01:19I've been here for two and a half years, and I just found it, like, I want to say a
01:23couple months ago, you know, in this time off that I needed.
01:26Brother, you haven't found it yet. You don't want to burst your bubble. You haven't found it yet.
01:30Okay.
01:31You are on the right path. Yeah. You haven't found it yet, man.
01:35Sometimes he's hard on me, but just like football coaches, they're hard on their players. They want to see them
01:39succeed. If he didn't say anything to me at all, I'd be a little worried.
01:42I'd rather have you work on getting heat through beating the tire out of that babyface.
01:48Not going to the fans and pandering.
01:51Yep.
01:51You are so athletic, and you can move around the ring. Yeah.
01:54Like, you can have that fun cell where people go, oh, man, I love when Cam Hendricks gets the kicked
01:59out of him.
01:59I mean, him coming to talk to me, it's a good feeling because now I know I got someone to
02:03try to make proud.
02:04This is pushing me. This is helping me overcome adversity, and that's something that everyone needs to go through.
02:20We're not here to be decent. We're here to be great. I need you to look like you're in control.
02:25You need to show me who you are. A hundred percent. It has to happen now.
02:30You don't have to wait to see who gets called up. They can go at any time.
02:34The future is indeed now here on LFG.
02:45Booker, Bubba, good to see you again. Coach Terry Taylor, thank you so much for being back here with us.
02:50First match today, a talent that you know well, Mike Derruder. Today he has a match against Harley Riggins.
02:57Harley Riggins, a tag team guy who for the first time won't be with his partner, Jax Presley,
03:03who just got injured in practice. He was starting to understand tag team psychology.
03:09He was starting to apply it, but it's a whole new game now.
03:13I feel like Mike will be the baby face in this match. Harley will be the heel.
03:18Mike can't flip and fly the entire match. I agree.
03:22Less is more. With Harley, a simple story, staying on a body part, not having general heat,
03:29having Mike sell that body part, do that well before you get into all the hoop and flying.
03:34We don't need to see an over-complicated story. Simple done well is far better than complicated done decent.
03:39Yes, sir. You got it.
03:40Bubba, you'll be assigned Mason Holliday versus Bailey Humphrey.
03:45Mason just had a match against PJ Vassa.
03:49I was happy with her efforts. I gave her some things she needs to work on.
03:54She's a little bit too concerned about her pretty moves rather than her physical kicks, punches, elbows, looking good.
04:02Bailey, we know what she's doing. We know how she's trending.
04:04She's always been on the cusp. I've never actually gotten to work with her directly looking forward to this.
04:12Tell me what you think. It's almost like she's afraid to hurt people.
04:15Yeah, I think the second.
04:17Yes?
04:17Yeah, 100%.
04:18I would say today is about making sure that these two women are making everything that they do mean something.
04:25I love it. I love it.
04:26Okay.
04:27And finally, Booker, you're taking us home.
04:32What do we got?
04:33Layla Diggs versus Callie Armstrong.
04:36D1 athletes, studs.
04:38Layla is quite the story.
04:40She's come from a shy girl to this very comfortable in front of the camera superstar.
04:46But I don't believe who she is right now.
04:48I see a little Bianca Belair when she walks out.
04:52I see a little Lash legend in how she dresses.
04:57I want her to find herself.
05:00Callie Armstrong, that girl's unique.
05:02We know more than anyone else.
05:04Timing is everything in this business.
05:07Everything.
05:08And her time is going to come.
05:10And this girl's a stud.
05:12Let's get to work.
05:14Yes, sir. Do it.
05:19A couple Saturdays ago in Citrus Springs, I had a tag match and right at the cutoff, I had a
05:24clothesline to the back.
05:25Hit the clothesline, I immediately felt the shoulder or something popping here.
05:29I tried my best to finish the match, but I tore the pec tent and it completely off.
05:34Prognosis is like six months, I think, for typical recovery.
05:38Before the injury, me and Harley were definitely in a roll.
05:40I think the momentum was building.
05:41It's an impressive tag team win for these two in their LFG debut.
05:46The tag was on fire.
05:47They were loving us.
05:48They were pushing us.
05:49But, you know, things happen, so you just got to roll with it.
05:52You definitely haven't seen the last of Jack's president.
06:00So you're working the leg, we'll figure out how to get out of it.
06:03It's been a while since I hit the singles realm, but it's good to let everybody know and remind them
06:06what I can do in the ring.
06:08Terry Taylor's a legend in his own regard, and he's, like, what all the top guys work with right now.
06:12So I think it was a great opportunity to get on, like, the base level with him and build the
06:16relationship.
06:17Terry Taylor, I see him every day in the PC, and when they told me, Terry is your producer, I
06:24was like, oh, my God, he will shine everything.
06:28I will tell him I want to do this, this, this, this, this.
06:30He will tell him, no, no, no, do a headlock takeover.
06:34Well, you want to do all this crap that's glorifying what you want to do more than thrilling the audience?
06:39When they got together before we spoke, they had all these high-impact, violent moves from seven seconds into the
06:50match.
06:50I wanted them to start slower, introduce both characters.
06:54They just wanted to get into combat.
06:56It starts out as two competitors.
06:58One's an arrogant a-hole.
06:59Yep.
07:00The other one is a nice guy who loves competing and wants to do things the right way.
07:04The first three or four minutes of the match should be that story being told.
07:08And as you get more frustrated and he keeps out wrestling you, you blast him out of frustration.
07:14But you guys are starting out with combat right away.
07:17How am I going to be as an audience member invested in that when I haven't seen the story play
07:21out?
07:22You mad?
07:23No, no, no. I did this to you last time, too.
07:24No, no, I want to be a big star, but before this, I need to show who I am a
07:27little bit coach, no?
07:28You need to show me who you are. That's exactly right.
07:31Not what you can do.
07:33100% who you are.
07:34But you want to show me what you can do.
07:36I feel I just need to show who I am to get the opportunity to be able to do the
07:42biggest venues in the world.
07:43If you guys could wrestle, compete, trade holds for 90 seconds before you start stomping his leg, I'd be great.
07:51Thank you, Coach. Appreciate you.
07:52The compromise here is 90 seconds of wrestling before we get to the hitting and beating and stuff.
08:01I look forward to getting singles heat. That's what this whole game is about is reaction and I can get
08:05that out of people.
08:10The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first from Chardon, Ohio, winged at 232 pounds, Harley Riggins.
08:23Well, I don't know if this is going to be a textbook matchup, JB, because these are two guys that
08:30are going to go out there and literally try to maul, hurt and maim their opponent tonight.
08:37I think we are in for a fight. I think we're in for a brawl. I think we're in for
08:43a Donnybrook.
08:45In the case of this man coming to the ring now and the intensity is there, you can obviously see
08:50it.
08:50The experience, he's gotten some great experience during his time here at the Performance Center.
08:55And are now looking to make that next step, find himself amidst the superstars on the NXT roster.
09:15And his opponent, Freddie Brussels Belgium, weighing at 235 pounds, Mike DeRuiter.
09:23Well, DeRuiter is a guy who has caught your eyes since he arrived here at the Performance Center.
09:29We've said it before here on LFG, an international sensation.
09:33Wow, Brussels Belgium zone. This guy has come into the Performance Center and turned a lot of heads.
09:40Obviously, looks incredible. The physique is there. Tatted up. Looks like a bad man.
09:46But wait till you see, if you've not seen Mike DeRuiter yet, wait till you see what he can do
09:52in the sky.
09:54For a man this size, has a skill set and the abilities I haven't seen before here at the Performance
10:00Center.
10:03It's about a guy who can hit like a heavyweight, move like a cruiserweight, but I got to agree with
10:09you, Jeremy.
10:09This is going to be a hard-hitting, no-nonsense battle.
10:13And we still have our main event to come here on LFG Legends and Future Greats.
10:18But it's always important to keep an eye on every single match because at any moment, Shawn Michaels could see
10:23something he likes
10:24and someone could have themselves a life-changing moment.
10:28Come on, Marlon.
10:29Go!
10:32Mike DeRuiter comes to us from Europe with a lot of experience and getting his, you know, his feet kind
10:39of grounded here at the Performance Center
10:41and finding his way has come very quickly to him.
10:44And that's, you know, when you come in here and you're leapfrogging the talent that have been around for a
10:48while.
10:48Look at that.
10:50We're going down low trying to hyperextend and I know you had talked about high flying and wait till you
10:54see what he can do.
10:55But obviously, if you know that, they know that. Riggins knows that.
11:00Mike, that hurts.
11:01That's a great strategy by Riggins to go after those legs.
11:04He knows what he's capable of and has seen the tape.
11:08And that's so much of this is tape watching and watching your opponents scouting what they're about to do.
11:12Be ready to have one step ahead.
11:14Uh-oh.
11:16Look at Riggins wisely able to get out of the way.
11:19And oh, the knee buckle just a moment.
11:21I don't know if right now I'd be trying to showboat a little bit, but that springboard connected.
11:26Riggins down to the mat.
11:27If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.
11:30It'll be interesting to hear what our legends have to say about this matchup so far as we get a
11:35chance to hear what they're saying.
11:40Accelerate.
11:42Great legends here on LFG.
11:44And certainly that's part of the education.
11:46The process is watching yourself back and seeing what worked and what didn't.
11:52This is the second time in this matchup Riggins has been focusing on the leg.
11:56I think he came into this matchup with a worry about DeRuiter's ability to fly around.
12:00If he can isolate one of those attributes, Riggins is going to have himself the advantage in the match.
12:05And again, going down low.
12:07It's a smart strategy.
12:08You got to give Riggins credit for that.
12:10Having the foresight to know that DeRuiter can beat you with some incredible power, but he also beat you from
12:16the sky.
12:17He certainly can.
12:19And look, that's where I'll bite my tongue here in a minute when I'm wrong.
12:22I thought Riggins was not going to come in here with a game plan.
12:24He was just going to come in here and throw around some fists and try to throw his body around.
12:28Because now you're seeing the brutality start to pick up.
12:30But he did come in here scouting the opposition, pinpoint a body part, targeted an area of the body, and
12:37is executing the plan that he came in here with.
12:47Well, it's interesting that Riggins is now implementing that game plan, going back to what he's comfortable with.
12:52Having his kind of match and his style of brawling.
12:55And this is where you can really capitalize on this and get the best of DeRuiter.
13:02Now, DeRuiter right now, I'm just trying to get a look here from the desk.
13:05Our official Jeremy Marcus doing a great job, but, oh, DeRuiter cannot get back in this match.
13:11Can't even get back to his feet.
13:13Pain is touched on the face of DeRuiter at this juncture, JB, in this matchup.
13:24Oh, wow.
13:30Well, he took a little, tried to take a page out of DeRuiter's book and go to the skies. Did
13:34not work out.
13:40And I think Riggins was in firm control of the matchup. He may watch this match back and realize that
13:46was the mistake.
13:47As you called it a turning point into the cover off that slingshot suplex of sorts.
13:51And it's a near fall. But DeRuiter has really rebounded right now.
13:55He certainly has. And this is the Mike DeRuiter that we've seen before.
13:58Not afraid to go to the top rope. And obviously with that leg.
14:02He's climbing a little gingerly, taking a little bit too much time.
14:05And Riggins able to get just out of the way and hopping right down.
14:09And whoa, this time able to get out of the way was DeRuiter.
14:11Ooh, ducked it once. Didn't duck that letter at the second time.
14:15Wasn't able to get out of the way of that clothesline.
14:18And hardly Riggins can throw a clothesline. No question about it.
14:22Riggins had an answer for everything that DeRuiter has been able to throw at him and has had a counter
14:27for a counter.
14:30I think a lot of people have been impressed tonight with Riggins and big drop kick.
14:34That was right to the back of the neck. Falling into the cover.
14:38Will it be enough? And no, DeRuiter's right shoulder up.
14:41And I want to go off something you said moments ago when you talk about the main event.
14:44Both these men may be getting very close to earning a main event nod here on LFG.
14:50It won't be tonight. Our main event's still to come, but maybe in the near future.
14:52Well, certainly looking to capitalize on momentum.
14:56I would say definitely, especially Harley Riggins in this.
14:59Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
15:00Up, over, counter. Didn't get him though.
15:03Harley Riggins is, wow. Showing so much.
15:07And really, I think it's a, no matter what happens at this point,
15:10to be able to take it to Mike DeRuiter as good as he has so far is impressive.
15:18Maybe, just maybe he's awakened the beast.
15:22Yeah, jumping knee under the jaw.
15:24Big clothes on.
15:24He talked about throwing lariats earlier.
15:26How about that one, JB?
15:28Mike DeRuiter now on fire.
15:29And that certainly powerbomb sit down style.
15:34And that will do it.
15:37Here is your winner, Mike DeRuiter.
15:51Here is your winner, Mike DeRuiter.
15:56Here is your winner, Mike DeRuiter.
15:58The camera on my face.
16:07So, I didn't want to like it, but it was good.
16:10With love and respect, I got to get you out of wanting to do the big moves.
16:13It was very awkward and disjointed to me when you're hopping on one leg,
16:18and then you're running across the ring, and then you're selling again,
16:21and then you do something to chop him down.
16:23Heels, take advantage.
16:25Take advantage.
16:25Baby faces, weather the storm, and then pay back.
16:29You guys wrestling up front, Terry?
16:30I did.
16:31Oh, nice.
16:32You guys, I said 90 seconds, right?
16:34Yeah.
16:34Timed it.
16:35What?
16:37A minute 25 for those of you keeping sport.
16:39We are pros.
16:40Yeah.
16:41We're ready to go.
16:42You guys did good, man.
16:43Thank you, guys.
16:43And look.
16:44Very much, coach.
16:45I would have done less.
16:46But that's my job, is to get you guys, do less, milk it and sell it more,
16:52and the connective tissue will be this.
16:55He actually ended up enjoying the match, but moral of the story is that we can do less
16:58and get more emotions and more facials and more reactions, and the crowd will be more
17:02interested in the story.
17:03Okay?
17:03Thank you so much.
17:04Good job, you guys.
17:05Well done.
17:06Appreciate you all.
17:07Have fun working with you.
17:08Poor Mike.
17:09It was great.
17:10Just this small detail and this small detail, but he was happy overall.
17:14Yes, yes, yes.
17:16Give me something that you guys heard coaching-wise.
17:18Did he say anything post-match that he wants to see better or didn't like?
17:22He just told me that I need to do less.
17:24But less is more.
17:25I'm telling you, man.
17:26Less is more.
17:27And I think you're doing a better job of that.
17:29I do.
17:29I think you're doing a better job of that.
17:30It's got to be hard to be able to do everything in here.
17:33Like, you could flip.
17:34You could bounce.
17:34You could spin.
17:35You could do it all.
17:36But if you give it to them all every single day, it's just not going to be special anymore.
17:39For sure.
17:40Your chops were awful.
17:41Mm-hmm.
17:42Chops were awful at the end right there.
17:44Okay.
17:44Did you feel that?
17:45Yeah.
17:46No, I don't really like chops.
17:47Well, then why are you throwing them?
17:48Throw a forearm.
17:50Throw a flipper.
17:50Okay.
17:51Your first match without having a tag team partner, man.
17:53But it's a whole new game for you.
17:56Thanks, boss, man.
17:57Have a great night.
17:57All right, you too.
17:58Take care.
17:59Take care, Mikey.
18:00First time in singles, it's good to, like, brush up on those skills.
18:03I think LFG should book me every week.
18:05I think LFG should put me in a main event.
18:06I think I can incite the crowd, and I can get the people going.
18:13Today, for you two ladies, it's going to be about intent.
18:17Yep.
18:18And impact.
18:20I want to see it, and I want to hear it.
18:23Okay.
18:23Okay?
18:24Can you both stand up for a second, please?
18:26I just want to see from a perception.
18:28Okay.
18:29I want to see move for move, size for size.
18:33These two women were impressive standing side by side.
18:36I wanted to feel that.
18:38And as a fan go, wow, these women are about to get it on.
18:42They're about to bring it.
18:44I want to feel this.
18:45I want to feel this.
18:47Yeah.
18:47Don't look away from each other.
18:49I want to feel this.
18:50Take one step back.
18:51Take one step back.
18:53Take one step back.
18:54Give me a lockup.
18:55Boom.
18:56Yeah.
18:57Stay in that lockup.
18:58Stay in that lockup.
18:59Stay in that lockup.
19:00Yeah.
19:00Yeah.
19:01Bailey back into that corner.
19:02Yeah.
19:02Give me that clean break.
19:03Give me that clean break.
19:05One.
19:05Two.
19:07Oh, .
19:09I'm actually very appreciative of Bubba taking us through the match step by step,
19:13because to understand what we're really trying to tell people and get the audience
19:16to understand, I think that was very, very helpful.
19:19Both of you have had great attitudes today.
19:22I want to see you both succeed.
19:26Yep.
19:37The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
19:41Introducing first from Atlanta, Georgia.
19:44Mason.
19:45Holiday!
19:47well i know jeremy's excited because his hips are grooving his hair is standing on end he's got a
19:54little shoulder shimmy to his shake come on girl give me lots of flavor give me lots of character
20:00get those people going anytime i see this fantastic athlete come to the ring i'm excited
20:07for a couple reasons because we know we're in for an exciting matchup and a lot of energy and a
20:11lot
20:11of effort put forth she's seen the results of her hard work here at the performance center is ready
20:17to take that next step to nxt oh it's a holiday anytime she steps into the ring
20:28it's always a nightmare for the opposition when this woman steps into the squared circle and her
20:36opponent from chandler arizona bailey humphrey and jb all joking aside we've uh known about bailey
20:48humphrey we've seen holiday both women very impressive in their own rights but when we
20:53take a look at this matchup when we think about things that have happened here on this program
20:58this season season three of lfg in your opinion because it appears that you know more than i do
21:05when it comes to an inside scoop who needs to stand out more oh wow loaded question well yeah
21:13you're right i am deep in the thick of it with the shovel getting the scoop but i can tell
21:18you
21:18right now bailey humphrey is destined for greatness in this industry and what we're seeing right now is
21:24just in your hand right now the first chapter of what i think is going to be a very exciting
21:28career
21:28to watch a career that she is certainly gearing up for and her time here at the performance center has
21:33only prepped her for the chaos that is to ensue in her career i have a feeling
21:47this is not a battle you want to take on if you're facing bailey humphrey in the ring just obviously
21:53the
21:53size of strength the power she tossed cheerleaders for a living in college that was her claim to fame
22:00and certainly was able to make a name from herself throwing other athletes in the air you think that
22:05can be applied to this i think so you know obviously you're you're dealing with an athlete that's just
22:10the size the strength of bailey it no one's ever been able to compete with that i see right now
22:16in the
22:16center of the ring just the pure size advantage is now you're seeing that power on display
22:24yeah look down at her brood over her yep good good mason get right up okay we've seen her in
22:31the
22:31weight room and i mean you talk about records just falling right now inside the performance center and
22:36i don't know if this is a wise strategy as the confidence may be falling on holiday and her body
22:41just gave out after that massive clothesline well that's certainly a clothesline you don't want to be
22:47on the other end of as mason holiday is fighting out now and look at this there you go on
22:51cue almost
22:52jb which you said a few minutes ago just tossing around bodies what bailey does best and humphrey
22:57going right in right now you can certainly put the boots as well i mean this is an athlete that
23:02really brings a whole different skill set to the table and certainly we've seen that over the course
23:07of time and we've seen that develop and evolve over the course of two seasons now a third here on
23:12lfg
23:12and now just putting the boots to holiday and into the cover hook of the leg looking in the outside
23:17leg and a kick out and you know what's i guess a little bit scary and that's not a pun
23:22trying to
23:22tie into the undertaker at all is when he's she's down there with him and they're working together
23:27her potential continues to grow and grow they're finding new things out of what she can do what she's
23:33comfortable with and it's like she still hasn't blossomed yet and that's a scary thing to think about
23:38when bailey humphrey is hitting at high gear when she enters nxt if that ever were to happen and that
23:44contract gets signed landscape changes that's really what it is and taking that next step means
23:52getting the attention of sean michaels and the nxt crew here getting the recommendation of coaches
23:57like matt bloom and terry taylor booker t everybody that's here at the performance center putting in the
24:02time to get these athletes to another level you know even michael jordan had a coach
24:05that's true even guys that are god-gifted talents like you've never seen before i always need some
24:11advice i always need some help and wow she's like i need some advice and a neck brace after that
24:17if how they were big word jb to pull this match off and be victorious you'd have to say that's
24:24an upset
24:24not from your knees not no punches from your knees
24:34you can look and see you know with your own eyes what we're dealing with here but obviously this is
24:40a situation where she needs to show up and show out wow they starting to fight back in the match
24:44misses the clothesline and bailey coming a big elbow and now right back up and look at humphrey going down
24:54that's a momentum and that is certainly a something unusual to see somebody get the best of bailey
24:59when it comes to no way no way come on
25:07falling into the cover hook of the leg not many women have scooped her up and body slammed her in
25:13the center of the ring holiday now cannot blink in this moment this could be that career life changing
25:20three seconds she needs but humphrey turning it right around oh never seen that before
25:30here is your winner bailey
25:35that was good thank you give her that finish no she's been doing that since like season
25:39one i saw her doing something where she flipped around that was way better i would not want to be
25:45any woman who has to step in the ring and look across and see bailey humphrey that is a look
25:53of
25:53determination and someone who as you said jb sooner rather than later could be making an impact in nxt
26:05here is your winner bailey humphrey
26:11very very good and it's very good because you understood the story and the psychology of what
26:20we were trying to do there's so many things that i liked about it the execution but what you need
26:24what everybody needs is reps yeah nothing small don't fire up small everything is big you're larger than
26:33in life remember how in the beginning i told you pick somebody out in the crowd this is you okay
26:42you shut up and sit down
26:48shut up and sit down
26:52bellow bellow from the guts so that the whole arena can hear it yeah for me he said especially as
27:00a heel
27:00like i'm vocal but i need to like say it more with my chest you have to find your inner
27:06like animal
27:07okay okay i see it here and all this i see it physically i need to feel it emotionally
27:15so those are the little things that are going to come in time but that was a that was a
27:21great effort
27:21i heard the people more for you guys yeah than anybody else i agree
27:28really really good job so be proud of yourself thank you great that's teamwork thank you thank
27:33you great good job baba was really happy about it which i was excited about because

27:50i was proud of it i love that you guys told the story that i was like all right where
27:54are they going this
27:55is like a little tit for tat right here i was following like your rage building and your rage
28:05building and you finally slammed her yeah to me i felt like oh okay i gotta carry that rage on
28:10right
28:10now but you kind of like separated and got another lock up right there yep and then uh tried to
28:15body slam
28:16me i slammed you i would visualize it like you you boom you slam her she feeds up you come
28:22you even slam
28:23remember again she feeds up again she goes behind you she tries that one time on you oh into the
28:29corner like i'm parlaying this rage i've been saying this to all the matches we have very forgiving
28:36understanding fans inside this arena it takes work to get the fans to get behind you and like
28:41you have to work hard you gotta tell a good story you gotta make sure that it makes sense
28:45even you were doing all that so they're chanting holiday holiday and you did nothing like you gotta
28:50give me something where it's showing that you're in the fight still
28:54i want you to react to when you hear the crowd okay all right it's it they're with you if

29:44booker just wanted us to focus on the little things like he told me to make sure that i'm really
29:48clapping before i'm putting in a hole he wasn't really worried about the moves and stuff like that
29:54he just wanted me to focus on the little things so the first time i did it felt like i
29:58wasn't really

30:49space now i can
30:51walk around and freaking you know i can see where i'm at you know it's that it's that those little

31:32as the crowd settles in for the main event cali and layla get some last minute advice from coach
31:39booker cali y'all ready yes we are we'll be looking for the small things so
31:45that's the most important thing for me in this match let's get it done let's get it
31:53well the time has arrived it is main event time on legends and future greats and we have two
32:06superstars who are looking to stand out from our women's division oh we're looking forward to this
32:11we're talking about two world-class college athletes out of california one from fresno one
32:17from ufc usc and of course they're both about to tangle inside this ring both track athletes both
32:25about to get it done and both want a spot on nxt let's see it you were accepted to usc
32:30weren't you
32:31yes of course one of the two
32:42the following contest is scheduled for one fall introducing first from fresno california layla
32:53diggs well you can see the infectious energy bubbling off the personality of diggs who is
33:00set for this main event and as we talk about each and every week a life a career can change
33:08in an
33:08instant in an instant we've seen it happen time and time again after the match of i always look forward
33:13to hear what sean michaels is going to say are they ready to take that next step that next leap
33:18that
33:18next elevation in their career well layla diggs happens to think she belongs there and she's going
33:23have a chance to prove it in this matchup go go go go go go on your mark engines ready
33:34get set let go
33:38let's go and her opponent from inglewood california cali armstrong
33:55and you've been following this woman's career she is looking to take that next step in her career
34:07and i kind of want to go back to the first lfg of this season kendall gray took a giant
34:15leap in her
34:16own career a huge leap and just goes to show you what can happen the magic that can unfold before
34:21our very own eyes on this program when opportunity knocks courtesy of the heartbreak head sean michaels
34:27going nxt and we've seen it we've seen it firsthand on this program and of course cali armstrong knocking
34:34knocking knocking at that door saying sean michaels check this out i'm ready for nxt she's gonna have
34:39a chance to prove it here against layla diggs oh you're about to break into the course of knocking
34:43on heaven's door there for a second jb i was going to say this isn't karaoke at big daddy's it's
34:47lfg here
34:48oh yeah well of course cali armstrong from inglewood inglewood up to no good in this ring and she's
34:55certainly a track and field athlete comes to us from usc she not only held a world record for
35:01sprint medley relay but top of her game top of her class and really excelled in track and field she
35:09uses that in the ring she uses that extreme skills that she has next level to get job done in
35:16the ring
35:16we're gonna have to see if she can incorporate those skills and see how that comes about
35:24well if you start breaking this matchup down you would assume that cali armstrong who right now
35:28goes up goes over turns right back around looking for a hip toss it's blocked by diggs for a moment
35:33and take a look at this offense with a split you would think that cali armstrong would be the favorite
35:38after everything we've talked about for what she's already accomplished in the ring but jb diggs is holding
35:43her own layla diggs has been here just a little bit longer at the performance center has the edge when
35:48it
35:48comes to the training the experience in the ring cali armstrong still finding her way an incredible
35:53athlete take nothing away from her but the success came early for cali armstrong whereas layla diggs has
36:00earned every bit of it along the way
36:07going right to the body and now just driving those legs going back to that track star background and take
36:14a look at the speed pick it up and feel the impact from armstrong well cali comes from a
36:21a speed a sprinting background whereas layla diggs jumped in track and field you can see the difference
36:28in how they roll that out layla diggs is oh feeling the effect of a boot there from cali armstrong
36:35who has
36:36been so effective into the cover hook of the outside leg in a near fall what a matchup this has
36:41been i think diggs
36:42coming out of the gates in this matchup really showed what she is made of inside the ring and i
36:49think kind of had the wb universe here on their feet feeling that maybe we could see an upset but
36:55now
36:55things are starting to get back into place where cali armstrong likes it slow methodical she could break
37:02it out but now the pace quickening in a near fall well i asked cali armstrong right before she came
37:07out
37:07through the curtain i said are you ready are you ready for nxt she goes i'm not ready i just
37:13stay
37:14ready that's fair though and if you stay ready you don't have to get ready
37:25into the cover a unique one at that and another kick out great job by our official in this matchup
37:30just
37:30a two count but cali armstrong has certainly turned this matchup around and now continuing and it seems
37:36to have found an area of the body and that being the back of layla diggs trying to wear down
37:42her
37:42opponent because as we've seen early on diggs is someone who once she gets a little bit of momentum
37:47she starts to fly around the ring obviously cali armstrong looking to ground layla diggs
37:54it up armstrong coming right back in caught an elbow and this right now for diggs pivotal point
37:59in the match trying to create a little bit of separation to get her wits back about her diggs knows
38:04that she coming in as the underdog in this contest would love to pick up a victory as you said
38:10would
38:10be an upset and would that upset be enough to possibly earn her a contract from sean michaels
38:17combination offense ends it with a step up in seguri rocking armstrong back and i don't think armstrong
38:22jb would be standing if it were not for those turn buttons she was packed right into the corner
38:28there's a need a follow-up by layla diggs could this be it center of the ring and another near
38:34fall
38:34it's armstrong now just able to kick out you can see cali armstrong got rocked by that knee in the
38:42corner it's up to layla diggs to follow up what a big right hand that would stop anybody but diggs
38:49fighting right back give her credit where credit is due and if this turns into a slugfest jeremy i
38:54would tend to think it'd be cali armstrong who would have the advantage
39:00whoa and that counter inside cradle and almost an upset armstrong back up what the heck was that
39:12layla diggs is showing up and now she could be showing out as she's pulling herself willing herself
39:19will the high risk will it pay off no it didn't countered with a massive power slam
39:31the speed of cali armstrong talk about the impact shoots the half good night
39:43here is your winner cali armstrong
39:51another win another impressive showing you can say that one again jb i mean this had it all in it
39:58give credit where credit is due to diggs armstrong in the end maybe it was just
40:04everything she's learned in a short time when we go back to evolve showed the presence of mind to
40:09kick out in that moment to continue this fight and for armstrong to be able to bam just fly out
40:17the
40:17gates high impact offense as we've seen in the past big win but let's not focus on the past
40:25let's look towards the future and what does the future hold for cali armstrong
40:31that girl's got something she's got something she's got all the freaking jewelry there to be a big star
40:44she a warrior i ain't gonna lie we we went to war
40:47all right thank you all right yes how'd you get there i don't know i don't know i guess that's
40:56good
40:56you can exactly see where you got her from yeah when cali jumped on me and so i came up
41:02and then
41:03she ate my forehead and i got a nice little gash on my head thank you all very much good
41:08stuff
41:08really good thank you all thank you john shook her hand he said great job i mean anytime you get
41:13anything
41:13from sean michaels himself i'm that's a win how'd y'all feel like that it was fast yeah could have
41:22had
41:22more time like breathing moments like you said you never gave me a dominant position okay never gave me
41:31that shot layla digs can go out and do all the moves but that's not what's going to take her
41:37to
41:38the next level the pain leg kick was beautiful but after you hit the pain leg kick you gotta still
41:43sell
41:44it you're supposed to got up yeah because that's when you get ready to take it home that's when you
41:49know exactly what's getting ready to happen and you know you don't want the reason why it's happening that
41:54way i know i can execute well but now it's the emotion the feeling the fire the intensity being
42:01on top being dominant so just kind of working on those things you showed me um all the spots i
42:07needed you know what i mean i clapped yeah i saw that it's that small but it's that big the
42:16powers play
42:16up was perfect he just wanted me to focus on the little things and when i came back he said
42:23that i
42:24did all those little things that he was working on thank you all right good job all right i feel
42:29good i feel good it's progress i've gotten better and all you can ask here is each match you're
42:33progressing and i feel like each match i have progressed so that's all i can ask for yeah
42:40kylie definitely passed the test and she's on on her way to becoming great so it's just a matter of
42:45time
42:47she's athletic she's hungry really high potential talent
42:54she's kind of been waiting her time but tonight coming out of this match the possibilities could be endless
