00:00:00Original Series WWE Superstar Sunday begins now.
00:00:04We've got yet another challenge for each and every one of you.
00:00:08Previously on LFG.
00:00:10Phenomenal one, AJ Styles.
00:00:12Show me who you are.
00:00:14I am the shooting star.
00:00:15I'm a West Coast gangster, dog.
00:00:17The gold standard.
00:00:19The gold standard.
00:00:20Yeah.
00:00:22Why don't you let Holyfield represent Holyfield?
00:00:24Why can't I represent Holyfield?
00:00:25That's all for a second.
00:00:26You would look like you're trying to send someone not to the hospital.
00:00:30But to the graveyard.
00:00:31I like that, dude.
00:00:33Yeah, well, no, Sherlock.
00:00:34I'm selling my ass off for him.
00:00:36Of course he's going to look like the Reaper.
00:00:39The LFG playoffs begin.
00:00:42Next week, eliminations start.
00:00:45I'm looking at every single person here being like, you can steal my spot.
00:00:50F*** that.
00:00:53At the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida,
00:00:57the legends and future greats gather for a special announcement.
00:01:01Hello, everybody.
00:01:04Today begins the first round of the LFG playoffs.
00:01:09Your legend is going to determine which one of you stays and which one of you goes home.
00:01:17One-on-one, you will face your own teammates.
00:01:23I think knowing that we have the LFG playoffs, it's going to change your mindset completely.
00:01:32It's going to be you or them.
00:01:34And that's going to change everything.
00:01:39And I can tell by the looks on all 16 of these future greats' faces,
00:01:46because they all gave it away,
00:01:49how this, for the very first time, became very real to them.
00:01:56For the women, ladies first.
00:02:01And you men, you will go next week.
00:02:04Best to all of you.
00:02:07Now let's f*** go.
00:02:08Welcome to the Ultimate Proving Ground.
00:02:1916 future greats.
00:02:24Four legends.
00:02:27He is the epitome of WrestleMania.
00:02:30Nia broke down barriers for women.
00:02:33Be back at the table.
00:02:36Can't you think that's stuck out?
00:02:40A chance to win an NXT contract.
00:02:44Every legend has a first chapter.
00:02:47The future starts now.
00:02:54A day before the playoffs begin,
00:02:58the Performance Center athletes and their legendary coaches come together for a group photo.
00:03:03You know, that moment was surreal.
00:03:07Very surreal.
00:03:08It's been a long journey.
00:03:12Everything has gotten real now and has set in.
00:03:16You can kind of finally see in their heads,
00:03:19they're starting to think like,
00:03:21oh, okay, this run might be over.
00:03:23Oh, my God.
00:03:27I felt like my entire body was shaking,
00:03:30but I felt still at the same time,
00:03:31if that makes sense.
00:03:32Like, just the inside of my body,
00:03:34like all the butterflies and everything.
00:03:35I was also really trying to hold it together.
00:03:37And I, you know, I know this is TV,
00:03:39but I think I've cried enough on this show.
00:03:41Undertaker leads the legends with seven points,
00:03:48followed by Booker T with six.
00:03:51Bubber A. Dudley has four,
00:03:53while Mickie James has three points.
00:03:56The night before the first elimination round,
00:03:59each legend sat down with their two female future greats.
00:04:03The purpose was to get a sense of where these young women were,
00:04:06both mentally and emotionally,
00:04:08before stepping into the ring to face their teammates.
00:04:12I need to know that you know how important this is.
00:04:15Twelve weeks in, everything gets real now.
00:04:20This is obviously my life's passion.
00:04:24I've dedicated over 30-plus years of doing this,
00:04:28so this is very important to me.
00:04:30And it's still important,
00:04:31although I'm not in the ring anymore.
00:04:33It's still important for me
00:04:34to be able to help you guys move forward.
00:04:38Because obviously you guys know
00:04:40that I'm going to have to choose one of you,
00:04:42and I'm going to have to let one of you go.
00:04:44Why should I pick you, Bailey?
00:04:46I think you should pick me,
00:04:47because I think I have the ability
00:04:49to change the wrestling world.
00:04:51I think I have the ability to change it
00:04:53when it comes to females.
00:04:54Oh!
00:04:56Oh!
00:04:57Oh!
00:04:58Oh!
00:04:59It's time for new blood,
00:05:00and I think I can bring it.
00:05:02Awesome.
00:05:02I like that.
00:05:03And I think you can do all those things.
00:05:07Tyra?
00:05:10I am a hard worker,
00:05:12and I'm not just saying that.
00:05:15You've seen me on the Olympic level.
00:05:18I will make sure
00:05:21that I make you proud
00:05:23and make every single little girl
00:05:25and little boy
00:05:25that is watching me,
00:05:26that is looking up to me,
00:05:28showing them that,
00:05:29oh my gosh,
00:05:30look at the passion,
00:05:31the drive that she has.
00:05:32It doesn't matter
00:05:32what situation she is in,
00:05:34she's going to put her best foot forward
00:05:36because that is what she believes in.
00:05:38You tear it down.
00:05:39Don't leave anything to chance.
00:05:42Don't leave anything in the tank.
00:05:44Go out there
00:05:45and take what is yours.
00:05:50Good luck.
00:05:58I always say preparation
00:05:59is the only luck
00:06:00you're ever going to have
00:06:01in this business,
00:06:02and if you're not looking at it
00:06:03as a test,
00:06:04you have a chance at failing.
00:06:11Oh.
00:06:15Hey, Coach.
00:06:17What up, guys?
00:06:18How you doing?
00:06:19You guys been riding together
00:06:21since day one.
00:06:22You know,
00:06:23pulling for team five times.
00:06:27But now,
00:06:27we're the fork in the road.
00:06:29Choice gotta be me.
00:06:31I never thought, like,
00:06:33I'd be under the big lights
00:06:34like this.
00:06:35So if you think,
00:06:36if you think
00:06:37you got what it takes
00:06:38to go against P. Nasty,
00:06:40then come get your issue.
00:06:42Okay.
00:06:43All right, P. Nasty.
00:06:44Okay, P. Nasty.
00:06:46To be put under the pressure
00:06:47and I ain't crack yet,
00:06:48it's only built me
00:06:4910,000 times stronger
00:06:52than I already thought I was.
00:06:53Lee,
00:06:54what has been for you?
00:06:55The great thing about
00:06:57being in LFG
00:06:58is I think it awakened
00:07:00something in me
00:07:01and made me realize
00:07:02I can be that girl.
00:07:04I am that girl.
00:07:05Lee Larell
00:07:06is not just a dreamer.
00:07:09She's the next big thing
00:07:11here in WWE.
00:07:12You always work harder
00:07:15with your best friends, right?
00:07:17I know that straight up.
00:07:19May the best
00:07:20woman win.
00:07:23I am highly emotional
00:07:31because
00:07:32the idea of cutting
00:07:34any of my
00:07:35future greats,
00:07:37it was weird.
00:07:38The energy was weird today
00:07:39for sure.
00:07:41Before we even get started
00:07:42on everything else,
00:07:43I think you've both grown so much
00:07:45and I couldn't be prouder
00:07:46to be your coach.
00:07:48How do you feel
00:07:49going into this match?
00:07:50Nervous,
00:07:51which I am before
00:07:53every match,
00:07:53but I think
00:07:56in this whole series
00:07:57I showed a lot of
00:07:58potential up front.
00:07:59Well, it's certainly
00:08:00a learning experience,
00:08:01but Danny just learned
00:08:03the hard way.
00:08:05Oh, it's the triangle.
00:08:06The triangle's locked in.
00:08:07That's the Hell's Gate.
00:08:09That's the Undertaker's move.
00:08:10And it got to a point
00:08:11where after a wrestling match
00:08:12I couldn't walk
00:08:13and when I got back
00:08:15I've had a couple matches
00:08:17where I feel like
00:08:18I've been giving my all
00:08:19for other people
00:08:19and not myself.
00:08:21What about you?
00:08:21How are you feeling?
00:08:22I walked in here
00:08:23with no experience.
00:08:24I walked in here
00:08:25knowing little to nothing
00:08:27about how to wrestle
00:08:28and I waited
00:08:29and I waited
00:08:29and I waited
00:08:30for my opportunity
00:08:31and I finally feel like
00:08:32I'm just now getting started.
00:08:34What do you think
00:08:40Danny's greatest strength is
00:08:42and her greatest weakness?
00:08:44I think Danny's greatest strength
00:08:46is the wrestling.
00:08:47I think I can see how
00:08:49she has developed
00:08:50as a wrestler
00:08:52and how agile she is
00:08:54and how easy it is
00:08:55for her to pick up.
00:08:56However, I do think
00:08:58a weakness of hers
00:08:59is her character
00:09:00and how to really stand out.
00:09:03I think her greatest strength
00:09:04is her story.
00:09:05Tell me about the moment
00:09:05that you found out
00:09:06that your dad was deported.
00:09:09It was on my birthday.
00:09:11You found out
00:09:12that your dad was deported
00:09:13on your birthday?
00:09:14Yeah, immigration came
00:09:15and got him
00:09:15the morning of my birthday.
00:09:16Did you watch him
00:09:16get taken away?
00:09:17Yes, sir.
00:09:18What she's been through
00:09:20and what it's made her be,
00:09:23that's a tough layer of skin
00:09:24that I can't say I relate to.
00:09:26On the other hand,
00:09:30I think that
00:09:32or her greatest weakness,
00:09:35I see a fine line
00:09:36between cockiness
00:09:37and confidence.
00:09:39And I don't like people
00:09:41who are cocky, so.
00:09:43Good.
00:09:44Yeah.
00:09:48Bubba is a very
00:09:50unconventional coach.
00:09:54Comfy?
00:09:56At ease?
00:09:57Well, now I'm uncomfy.
00:09:58Relaxed?
00:09:59No.
00:10:00Stand up.
00:10:01Yep.
00:10:01This is your
00:10:15Wrestlemania moment.
00:10:18This is your chance
00:10:20to steal the show.
00:10:22Tell me why you should stay.
00:10:24I think that I should stay.
00:10:27Zena should stay
00:10:28because I do the things
00:10:30to be in first place,
00:10:32such as studying film 24-7
00:10:34when I'm not here,
00:10:35when I'm at home,
00:10:37when I'm with friends.
00:10:38I'm doing everything.
00:10:39My whole life revolves
00:10:40around wrestling.
00:10:41I have the same question
00:10:42for you.
00:10:43Convince me why,
00:10:45even if you suck
00:10:47in this match,
00:10:48why you should stay.
00:10:49I got fairly emotional
00:10:51and I just decided
00:10:55to remove the filter
00:10:59a little bit.
00:11:01I was just honest
00:11:01and raw about it
00:11:02and I regret none of it.
00:11:06I just think,
00:11:10personally,
00:11:12I just have so much
00:11:13more to give.
00:11:14Are those tears
00:11:15of disappointment?
00:11:18They're more
00:11:19a mix,
00:11:20a mix.
00:11:21A disappointment
00:11:22because
00:11:23this has become my world.
00:11:25So it's a mix of both.
00:11:28It's like
00:11:28disappointed tears,
00:11:31but
00:11:31they're tears of passion
00:11:33as well
00:11:34because I
00:11:34have fallen in love
00:11:36with this
00:11:37in such a short amount
00:11:39of time.
00:11:44Great answer.
00:11:48Thank you, sir.
00:11:52Let me help.
00:12:01Coming up,
00:12:02it's the first round
00:12:03of the LFG playoffs.
00:12:05Xena Sterling
00:12:06versus Tatiana Dumas.
00:12:08And later,
00:12:09the eliminations begin.
00:12:11I think I need
00:12:12to do the right thing.
00:12:13Um...
00:12:14I don't think
00:12:16Mickey's decided yet.
00:12:18KFC check on A&E.

00:13:45Each

00:13:48J.B.,
00:13:57the pressure
00:13:58is at the
00:13:59highest level
00:14:00it's been
00:14:01thus far.
00:14:02Uh-oh.
00:14:04She got a little
00:14:04fire in her
00:14:05today.
00:14:07When you take
00:14:08a look at both
00:14:08these women,
00:14:09wait a minute,
00:14:09from behind,
00:14:10looking for the
00:14:10early win and a
00:14:11kickout for Xena.
00:14:12She's coming into
00:14:13this first round
00:14:14of the playoffs
00:14:14with a ton
00:14:15of momentum.
00:14:16There's no question
00:14:17about it.
00:14:17When you're called
00:14:18the meal ticket
00:14:19going into a
00:14:20matchup by your
00:14:20own legend,
00:14:21you gotta think
00:14:21Tatiana Dumas
00:14:22knows she has
00:14:23her work cut out
00:14:24for her in this
00:14:25one.
00:14:25This is her last
00:14:26opportunity to shine,
00:14:27to make a difference,
00:14:28to make an impact,
00:14:29and to stick around
00:14:30ultimately to the
00:14:31semi-files.
00:14:32Well, you know,
00:14:32you start looking
00:14:33through this a little
00:14:34bit deeper,
00:14:35and you start
00:14:35looking at this
00:14:36matchup.
00:14:36I mean, it's
00:14:36gotta be gut-wrenching
00:14:38for the coaches
00:14:38tonight.
00:14:39I'm telling you,
00:14:40Tatiana has already
00:14:41forgot everything.
00:14:45A lot of good
00:14:45sign there from
00:14:46Bubba.
00:14:47It is not.
00:14:48Slow down,
00:14:48slow down,
00:14:49Tatiana.
00:14:50I understand
00:14:50what you want
00:14:51to tell her,
00:14:51but this is the
00:14:52first time that
00:14:53she's really
00:14:53showed emotion
00:14:54and personality.
00:14:56Like, I almost
00:14:57wouldn't want to
00:14:58tell her to slow down.
00:14:58Right.
00:14:59You know,
00:15:00you can pull her
00:15:01back from here,
00:15:02but this is the
00:15:04most emotion
00:15:05and most fire
00:15:06that I've seen
00:15:06from her.
00:15:07That's true.
00:15:08Yeah, you're right.
00:15:09That's a great point
00:15:10by the entertainer,
00:15:10but look,
00:15:11Bubba Ray has been
00:15:12frustrated with some
00:15:13of the recent
00:15:14performances from
00:15:15Tatiana,
00:15:15especially if you
00:15:16go back to
00:15:17last week's
00:15:17tag team match.
00:15:18No question about it,
00:15:19but this is an
00:15:19opportunity right now
00:15:20for both of
00:15:21Bubba's females
00:15:22to shine and
00:15:23to show they
00:15:24belong and
00:15:25continue on this
00:15:26program.
00:15:26Only one will,
00:15:27Zena Sterling or
00:15:28Tatiana Dumas.
00:15:30We're going to find
00:15:30out which one goes
00:15:31on to the
00:15:31semifinals yet
00:15:33here today.
00:15:34This program,
00:15:35and obviously,
00:15:36with so much at
00:15:37stake,
00:15:37knowing that one
00:15:38of these two
00:15:39will be gone
00:15:39from the program
00:15:40at the end
00:15:41of this episode,
00:15:42the stakes
00:15:43have never been
00:15:43high.
00:15:43Going in for
00:15:44another cover
00:15:44is Tatiana,
00:15:45another kick out
00:15:46and for Tatiana,
00:15:47we've heard all
00:15:47the legends
00:15:48talk about it.
00:15:48She's got the
00:15:49look.
00:15:49She's got the
00:15:50athletic ability,
00:15:51but the issue
00:15:52comes down to
00:15:53one thing,
00:15:54JB,
00:15:55confidence.
00:15:56Well,
00:15:56confidence is the
00:15:57big difference
00:15:57maker a lot of
00:15:58times when you're
00:15:58stepping into a
00:15:59sport like
00:15:59professional wrestling
00:16:00knowing that
00:16:01everything is on
00:16:02the line and
00:16:02the eyes are on
00:16:03you.
00:16:04Well,
00:16:04the eyes right
00:16:04now are looking
00:16:06right at the
00:16:06legends,
00:16:07especially Bubba.
00:16:07I was talking
00:16:09about Tatiana
00:16:09does a really
00:16:10good job
00:16:11and she's in
00:16:12control getting
00:16:13her stuff in.
00:16:14That's the part
00:16:15she needs to work
00:16:16on.
00:16:16I see what
00:16:16everybody's doing
00:16:17that as far
00:16:18as trying to
00:16:18come in a
00:16:19vulnerable
00:16:19position where
00:16:20she has to
00:16:21work from
00:16:21everything.
00:16:21We've never
00:16:22really seen
00:16:23it.
00:16:23Yeah.
00:16:23Oh,
00:16:24all right.
00:16:26Two most
00:16:27important things
00:16:28for a baby face
00:16:29is the sell
00:16:30and the come
00:16:31back.
00:16:31Exactly.
00:16:33Well,
00:16:33at this juncture
00:16:34to every little
00:16:34detail is magnifying
00:16:36one little mistake
00:16:37that the legends
00:16:38don't like,
00:16:39you know,
00:16:39could be the
00:16:40difference maker
00:16:41by the end of the
00:16:43evening for all
00:16:43these athletes.
00:16:45Oh,
00:16:45you ain't giving
00:16:45them no break,
00:16:46are you?
00:16:46You just pipe
00:16:47them right in.
00:16:49Xena,
00:16:50the MVP of
00:16:51Team Bubba.
00:16:52Tatiana,
00:16:52who I guess we
00:16:53could say has had
00:16:53the rockiest of all
00:16:54the seasons of the
00:16:55future greats.
00:16:57All right,
00:16:57Xena,
00:16:58let's see some
00:16:58fire.
00:17:01And let's see
00:17:02that fire indeed.
00:17:04Can Xena put
00:17:05Tatiana away?
00:17:06She's got to
00:17:07follow through on
00:17:07those kind of lines.
00:17:11And again,
00:17:11JB,
00:17:12one of these women,
00:17:13they're gone.
00:17:14Only one can move
00:17:15on.
00:17:16It's playoff time.
00:17:17When you talk about
00:17:17the confidence issues
00:17:18with Tatiana,
00:17:19that's for sure.
00:17:20We've seen that
00:17:20several times.
00:17:22Who's she calling
00:17:23upon?
00:17:23I think she's
00:17:24calling you out.
00:17:24She's supposed to
00:17:25scream oxymoron.
00:17:26Oh,
00:17:27okay.
00:17:28I was like,
00:17:28whoa.
00:17:29Oh,
00:17:29shoot,
00:17:30that was close.
00:17:31Wow,
00:17:31that was close.
00:17:32In the cover for
00:17:33Xena,
00:17:33and Sterling
00:17:34picks up the win
00:17:35here in the playoffs.
00:17:38Here's your winner,
00:17:40Xena
00:17:41Sterling.
00:17:46What a victory.
00:17:47Bubba almost
00:17:49maybe a little bit
00:17:49in shock.
00:17:50Bubba really has to
00:17:51think about this now
00:17:52as he has to
00:17:52eliminate one of
00:17:53his two females.
00:17:55Continuing to this
00:17:56program,
00:17:56one goes on,
00:17:57one calls it a night
00:17:58here on LFG.
00:18:10This is the LFG
00:18:11playoffs,
00:18:12ladies.
00:18:13One of you will be
00:18:13going home
00:18:14later on today.
00:18:15Well,
00:18:17I thought this was
00:18:18Tatiana's
00:18:19best performance.
00:18:21I always say
00:18:22you got to
00:18:22get those
00:18:23butterflies to
00:18:24line up
00:18:24and fly straight.
00:18:26Seemed like
00:18:26tonight you did
00:18:27that.
00:18:30Xena,
00:18:30we got to see
00:18:31a different side
00:18:31of you.
00:18:32We've seen you
00:18:32shine.
00:18:33It was nice to
00:18:34see you fight
00:18:35from underneath
00:18:35and have to
00:18:36overcome something,
00:18:37so well done.
00:18:38You know who
00:18:38you're going to
00:18:39pick?
00:18:39I'm very
00:18:42happy and
00:18:43I'm a little
00:18:43disappointed.
00:18:48But this
00:18:49has become
00:18:50a very
00:18:50tough decision
00:18:52today.
00:18:53whatever happens
00:19:03happens.
00:19:05Regardless,
00:19:06I told you,
00:19:06I'm one of the
00:19:07hottest workers in
00:19:07the room and I
00:19:08can respect losing
00:19:08to that.
00:19:09I will not,
00:19:10I will not lose
00:19:11to someone who
00:19:11don't do half
00:19:12of what you do.
00:19:13F*** that.
00:19:14I'd guess that
00:19:15he's disappointed
00:19:16in Xena.
00:19:20Yeah.
00:19:22So am I though.
00:19:23Why?
00:19:25Just,
00:19:25I know how much
00:19:28of a dream this
00:19:29is.
00:19:29It's just equally
00:19:31as much of a dream
00:19:31for Tati as it
00:19:32is for me.
00:19:34And if I put
00:19:35myself in her
00:19:35shoes, how would
00:19:36I feel?
00:19:36Like what could
00:19:37I have done
00:19:37for Tatiana
00:19:41to, like for us
00:19:43to have that
00:19:43chemistry that we
00:19:44needed in order
00:19:45for us to
00:19:45deliver the match
00:19:47that Bubba had
00:19:47in mind for us.
00:19:49And I guess
00:19:50that piece was
00:19:50just missing.
00:19:51So, yeah.
00:19:55While Xena
00:19:56second guesses
00:19:56her performance,
00:19:58Panina Tualepa
00:19:59and Leela
00:19:59L'Rell prepare
00:20:00themselves for
00:20:01their elimination
00:20:01match.
00:20:05I hope she
00:20:08doesn't hold
00:20:08back and I
00:20:09won't hold
00:20:09back because
00:20:10I know she
00:20:12wants it as
00:20:12much as I
00:20:13do.
00:20:14We're going to
00:20:15have one hell
00:20:15of a match.
00:20:16I just know
00:20:16that.
00:20:17Leela already
00:20:18knows.
00:20:18I said my
00:20:18sorry.
00:20:19She's going to
00:20:20get her ass
00:20:20whooped.
00:20:21This right here
00:20:21is for me.
00:20:22I just got to
00:20:22go get it.
00:20:25When we return,
00:20:27Team Booker's
00:20:27Panina Tualepa
00:20:28steps into the
00:20:29ring and goes
00:20:29one-on-one with
00:20:30Leela L'Rell.
00:20:32And later,
00:20:33The Undertaker
00:20:34faces a tough
00:20:35decision.
00:20:35I've got an
00:20:37Olympic gold
00:20:37medalist and I
00:20:39have somebody
00:20:40who I feel is
00:20:41going to change
00:20:42the face of
00:20:43women's wrestling.
00:20:44He's dragging
00:20:45his tail.
00:20:50We are back
00:20:51on LFG.
00:20:52It is playoff
00:20:53atmosphere for

00:23:43I can tell
00:23:44it didn't
00:23:45hurt her.
00:23:45I can
00:23:45tell.
00:23:46Sometimes
00:23:47you gotta
00:23:47take the
00:23:48pain.
00:23:48You gotta
00:23:48take the
00:23:49pain?
00:23:50I'm
00:23:50just
00:23:50thinking
00:23:50if
00:23:50you gave
00:23:51somebody
00:23:52a back
00:23:53suplex
00:23:53and they
00:23:53didn't sell,
00:23:54I think
00:23:55they probably
00:23:55sell the
00:23:56next thing
00:23:56you give
00:23:56them.
00:23:57I'm just
00:23:57guessing.
00:23:58I'm just
00:23:59guessing.
00:24:00This is like
00:24:01sitting at the
00:24:01monitor backstage
00:24:02and listening to the
00:24:03conversations that go on
00:24:04and you're getting a
00:24:05front row seat to that
00:24:06here on LFG from
00:24:08The Undertaker and
00:24:09Booker T.
00:24:09Booker T can sell a
00:24:10ketchup popsicle to a
00:24:11woman in white gloves
00:24:12but pain nasty from
00:24:13behind.
00:24:14Now showing her
00:24:15power and that
00:24:17nasty side of her.
00:24:18Huge personality
00:24:19quickly has drawn the
00:24:22attention to the
00:24:22legends of what she
00:24:24can do, the
00:24:24potential she could
00:24:25have.
00:24:26And some say that
00:24:27since the start of
00:24:28this she will be the
00:24:29one to earn the
00:24:30contract.
00:24:31Kanina does some
00:24:32things sometimes.
00:24:33her instincts are
00:24:35the instincts are
00:24:36there.
00:24:38She just needs to
00:24:38mechanics.
00:24:39Yeah.
00:24:39Like the mechanics.
00:24:42But her nastiness,
00:24:44it does come through.
00:24:45It just needs to
00:24:46come through a little
00:24:48harder in the
00:24:49mechanics.
00:24:50Jeremy, you're
00:24:51talking about being
00:24:51nasty, somebody who
00:24:52truly loves to
00:24:55fight.
00:24:56She sure does.
00:24:57And this journey has
00:24:58been incredible to
00:24:59watch here on LFG.
00:25:00Oh.
00:25:01Can't be chipped
00:25:02right there.
00:25:03But look, look at
00:25:04that.
00:25:05See, that's true
00:25:06aggression right
00:25:07there.
00:25:09You know, we
00:25:10didn't see that out
00:25:11of her in the
00:25:11beginning.
00:25:12This is something
00:25:12that's been a part
00:25:13of the journey.
00:25:14This is part of the
00:25:14growth is seeing how
00:25:15she has developed
00:25:17right before our
00:25:18very own eyes week
00:25:19after week here on
00:25:21LFG.
00:25:21That's what is so
00:25:22unique about legends
00:25:23and future greats as
00:25:24we are in the
00:25:25playoffs and referee
00:25:26right now, the
00:25:27official checking on
00:25:29Lee Laurel.
00:25:29And again, we've
00:25:32seen anything can
00:25:32happen in these
00:25:34matches here on
00:25:35LFG.
00:25:35And Lee Laurel
00:25:36right now is trying
00:25:37to hang on for
00:25:37dear life, but
00:25:38P-Nasty having
00:25:39none of it.
00:25:40We're going in
00:25:44there.
00:25:45We're going in
00:25:45there to do
00:25:46something to her.
00:25:48Well, that's part
00:25:49of the journey of
00:25:50LFG, seeing these
00:25:51athletes at the
00:25:52beginning stages of
00:25:53their career, bumps,
00:25:54bruises, mistakes
00:25:55and all.
00:25:56You're seeing it and
00:25:57how they react to the
00:25:59criticism or the
00:26:00journey, the
00:26:00enlightenment given
00:26:01to them by the
00:26:02legends and how they
00:26:03implement that
00:26:04knowledge into their
00:26:05matches is really
00:26:06the fascinating
00:26:06process to watch
00:26:07here on LFG.
00:26:08Great dropkick by
00:26:09Lee Laurel.
00:26:09Taking P-Nasty
00:26:10down to one knee,
00:26:12following up with
00:26:12a second, finally
00:26:13taking P-Nasty off
00:26:14her feet.
00:26:15And Lee Laurel
00:26:16right now is
00:26:17cooking.
00:26:18And you can say
00:26:19that the wrestling
00:26:20part is starting to
00:26:22slow down once the
00:26:23bell rings, high
00:26:24cross body and a
00:26:25big win for Lee
00:26:26Laurel.
00:26:28Here is your
00:26:29winner, Lee
00:26:31Laurel!
00:26:33You can see
00:26:33growth.
00:26:34I mean, honestly,
00:26:35that's the biggest
00:26:36you can see.
00:26:38Yeah, it's
00:26:39good, disappointed
00:26:40though.
00:26:41Yeah, I mean...
00:26:43I think it's
00:26:44extremely 50-50 on
00:26:45that night.
00:26:46It's rough, but
00:26:46there's...
00:26:48I don't know.
00:26:49There's definitely
00:26:50something...
00:26:50A lot of things
00:26:50were awash in my
00:26:52mind.
00:26:52I see something in
00:26:53Penina.
00:26:56Again, it's just,
00:26:58like you said, it's a
00:26:59mechanics thing right
00:27:00now.
00:27:00Big decision looming
00:27:02for Booker T.
00:27:10Booker T said that
00:27:12was the real main
00:27:14event, man.
00:27:16Bubba Ray, did that
00:27:19feel like a main event
00:27:19to you?
00:27:20The words that came
00:27:21to mind watching you
00:27:23were smoke and mirrors.
00:27:24There was something
00:27:25about what you were
00:27:27both doing in the
00:27:28ring that created
00:27:28this aura, this
00:27:30spectacle to me.
00:27:32And I think at the
00:27:33beginning, it was
00:27:34about the difference
00:27:35in the gear.
00:27:36But you both look
00:27:37so different in your
00:27:38gear, you immediately
00:27:40got my attention.
00:27:41Lee, is your gear
00:27:42like inspired by a
00:27:44video game?
00:27:45So, it was inspired
00:27:46by an anime,
00:27:47Sailor Moon.
00:27:48Good job.
00:27:48I love the gear on
00:27:49both of you.
00:27:50I would say the one
00:27:52thing about cosplaying
00:27:53is, are you trying
00:27:55to be the superstar
00:27:56or is Sailor Moon
00:27:57the superstar?
00:27:59I am.
00:27:59Exactly.
00:28:00So, don't, I get
00:28:03it and I think
00:28:03this is a common
00:28:04thing, a lot of
00:28:04girls do this, the
00:28:06cosplay, and I get
00:28:07it, but at the same
00:28:08time, you're the
00:28:09superstar and you
00:28:10don't, you want to
00:28:11sell your merchandise.
00:28:13Today, I saw
00:28:14incredible growth
00:28:15from both of you.
00:28:16And that's the most
00:28:17important thing.
00:28:18Benina also said
00:28:19this about you, you
00:28:20have, you have
00:28:21really incredible
00:28:22instincts.
00:28:23heel instincts,
00:28:25which is invaluable.
00:28:28The match was
00:28:29what it was.
00:28:32One of you,
00:28:33one of you guys
00:28:34are going to be
00:28:34going home.
00:28:36But the one thing
00:28:37you can take away
00:28:38from this is,
00:28:39all good things
00:28:40come to an end.
00:28:41That don't mean
00:28:41it's over.
00:28:42And I do got a
00:28:43really, really hard
00:28:44decision to make
00:28:45and it's something
00:28:46I got to really
00:28:47think about,
00:28:48really, really hard.
00:28:53Oh, thank you
00:28:59for letting me
00:28:59kick you.
00:29:00Of course.
00:29:01I could tell
00:29:02she wasn't
00:29:02holding back
00:29:03those kicks
00:29:03to the back.
00:29:04Those felt
00:29:04pretty real.
00:29:07If this is
00:29:08one of our
00:29:09last matches,
00:29:09we want to
00:29:10go out
00:29:10with the banks.
00:29:11Feeling good,
00:29:11feeling righteous.
00:29:13The show
00:29:13required us
00:29:14to be put
00:29:14under pressure.
00:29:15And I think
00:29:15I'm one of one.
00:29:16So I'm
00:29:17big P.
00:29:18I am
00:29:18pressured.
00:29:18Two matches
00:29:20down and
00:29:21two more
00:29:21to go.
00:29:23Both Tyra
00:29:24May Steele
00:29:24and Bailey
00:29:25Humphrey
00:29:26ready themselves
00:29:26for the biggest
00:29:27match of their
00:29:28young careers.
00:29:30You're going to
00:29:30make me so
00:29:31wide.
00:29:31My mindset
00:29:33is let go
00:29:34and let God.
00:29:35I am no
00:29:35stranger to
00:29:36having to go
00:29:37out there and
00:29:38wrestle friends.
00:29:40Once we step
00:29:40in to the
00:29:41squared circle,
00:29:43it is do
00:29:44or die.
00:29:45and I am
00:29:46doing.
00:29:48The mindset
00:29:48I have for
00:29:49today is lay
00:29:50everything out
00:29:51on the table.
00:29:52This is it.
00:29:52This could be
00:29:53my last chance
00:29:54in the ring
00:29:54on LFG.
00:29:55I have to just
00:29:56give everything
00:29:56I have and
00:29:57that's what
00:29:57I aim to do.
00:30:04We are back
00:30:05on LFG.
00:30:06It is playoff
00:30:07atmosphere for
00:30:08the women.
00:30:10This looks
00:30:10impressive already.
00:30:11They already
00:30:15look like they
00:30:15belong on TV.
00:30:16Teammates.
00:30:18One team,
00:30:19one dream.
00:30:21The Undertaker
00:30:21has a decision
00:30:22to make at the
00:30:22end of this.
00:30:23Which one stays,
00:30:24which one goes
00:30:25home on this
00:30:26journey to an
00:30:27NXT contract
00:30:28awarded by
00:30:29Shawn Michaels
00:30:29at the end of
00:30:30the season to
00:30:31one male and
00:30:32one female here
00:30:33on LFG.
00:30:37Mood just
00:30:38changed.
00:30:41Things just got
00:30:42real in here.
00:30:43Yeah, it certainly
00:30:43did and we keep
00:30:44talking about the
00:30:44women here.
00:30:45Playoff atmosphere
00:30:46for them.
00:30:47It's next week
00:30:47here on LFG.
00:30:49The men will
00:30:49take center stage
00:30:50as the playoffs
00:30:51begin for all
00:30:52of them.
00:30:53But right now,
00:30:54I mean,
00:30:55this is quite
00:30:57the matchup,
00:30:58JV.
00:30:58When you really
00:30:59take a look at
00:30:59the body of work
00:31:00of both these
00:31:01athletes,
00:31:02this is going
00:31:03to be a tough
00:31:03decision for
00:31:06the Undertaker.
00:31:06It certainly is.
00:31:07This is one of
00:31:08those matchups
00:31:08where you go,
00:31:09maybe years from
00:31:10now, we'll look
00:31:11back on this
00:31:11as a monumental
00:31:12moment in early
00:31:13stages of their
00:31:14careers.
00:31:15Bailey Humphrey
00:31:15certainly a
00:31:17physical specimen
00:31:18that is really
00:31:19unique to this
00:31:20industry.
00:31:21Tyra Mae Steele,
00:31:21Olympic gold medalist,
00:31:22they're in the
00:31:23ring together.
00:31:24Oh!
00:31:25It's all right.
00:31:26Come on.
00:31:29This is what both
00:31:30these athletes have
00:31:30learned throughout
00:31:31LFG is how to
00:31:33deal with certain
00:31:34situations,
00:31:35how to capitalize
00:31:36on someone's
00:31:37mistakes,
00:31:38how to stay calm
00:31:39under pressure,
00:31:40and the pressure
00:31:40has not been
00:31:41higher than right
00:31:42here and right now
00:31:43for these two
00:31:44athletes.
00:31:44Let's not forget
00:31:45that the journey to
00:31:46the main roster,
00:31:47your Raw to your
00:31:48SmackDown,
00:31:49it takes years,
00:31:50years and years
00:31:52to get there.
00:31:53Some do it a little
00:31:54faster than others.
00:31:55The fact is,
00:31:56these athletes are
00:31:57put in a position
00:31:57now in just a matter
00:31:58of weeks to have
00:31:59to excel and
00:32:01accelerate their
00:32:01own careers.
00:32:02It's a trajectory
00:32:03and what will
00:32:05leave an NXT
00:32:06contracted wrestler
00:32:08from this program,
00:32:09that's LFG,
00:32:11Bayley Humphrey,
00:32:11Tyra Mae Steele
00:32:12fighting it out
00:32:13to see who goes
00:32:14on here in the
00:32:14LFG playoffs.
00:32:15Steele doing the
00:32:16wise thing,
00:32:17but look at
00:32:18Humphrey just
00:32:19pulling up the
00:32:20gold medalist.
00:32:22She certainly has
00:32:23all the tools to
00:32:24leave a mark in
00:32:25this sport.
00:32:26Oh,
00:32:28Steele able to
00:32:30turn things around.
00:32:32Much of them
00:32:33friendly hugs.
00:32:35Yeah,
00:32:36the friendliness
00:32:36is certainly out
00:32:37the window when
00:32:38it comes to this
00:32:38matchup,
00:32:39when it comes to
00:32:39an NXT contract.
00:32:41It's Steele who
00:32:41came into this
00:32:42entire thing,
00:32:43it's hard to argue,
00:32:43wasn't the early
00:32:44favorite from
00:32:45Team Undertaker.
00:32:46Her road though
00:32:47has gotten rocky
00:32:48over the last few
00:32:49weeks and she just
00:32:50got caught trying
00:32:51to break out and
00:32:52really now trying
00:32:52to control the body
00:32:53of her opponent.
00:32:56There's some
00:32:57of that aggression
00:32:58coming out of
00:33:00Steele.
00:33:01We've seen that
00:33:02coaching from
00:33:02The Undertaker,
00:33:03we've seen that
00:33:03need, that want
00:33:04for that aggression
00:33:05to come out in
00:33:06Tyra Maysteel and
00:33:07it's certainly
00:33:07manifested itself
00:33:08here in this
00:33:09matchup so far,
00:33:10but look at
00:33:10Bailey Humphrey.
00:33:11Look at the
00:33:12strength, Angie
00:33:13power her way to
00:33:14the ropes and
00:33:15get out of this.
00:33:16So I think I
00:33:17thought that Bailey
00:33:18was the heel.
00:33:20They're both
00:33:20heels.
00:33:21How about that?
00:33:22I like it.
00:33:26They're fighting
00:33:28for something.
00:33:29Yeah.
00:33:30Fighting for that
00:33:31contract.
00:33:32And look, it's
00:33:32The Undertaker
00:33:33who has said
00:33:33more than once
00:33:34he doesn't see
00:33:35that killer
00:33:36instinct when
00:33:36the bell rings
00:33:37for Steele.
00:33:38He might be
00:33:39changing his
00:33:39tune.
00:33:47Oh, nice.
00:33:50Okay.
00:33:50Okay.
00:33:50You got to lay
00:33:57that in, but
00:33:57that's good.
00:33:58That's a good
00:33:58spot.
00:33:59You got to lay
00:33:59it in, though.
00:34:01You know, one
00:34:01thing we got to
00:34:01remember and kind
00:34:02of remind everyone
00:34:03of, The Undertaker
00:34:04operates at one
00:34:05level and one
00:34:05level only, and
00:34:06that is with
00:34:06excellence.
00:34:07Everything he
00:34:08does, he never
00:34:09goes at anything
00:34:10half-assed.
00:34:10There's no
00:34:11question about
00:34:11it.
00:34:12And his
00:34:12coaching, his
00:34:13guidance for
00:34:14this thing, he
00:34:14is fully invested,
00:34:15I dare say, more
00:34:17so than anyone
00:34:17else on the
00:34:18Legends panel.
00:34:19He takes this
00:34:20seriously to a
00:34:21different level.
00:34:23You got to
00:34:24wonder what's
00:34:24going through his
00:34:25mind as I'm
00:34:26sure it's going
00:34:26back and forth
00:34:27because he has a
00:34:28huge decision to
00:34:28make for the
00:34:29future, for the
00:34:30career, for the
00:34:30livelihood of one
00:34:32of these two
00:34:32women.
00:34:32Into the cover
00:34:33for Steele,
00:34:34hook of the
00:34:34leg, and a
00:34:34kickout.
00:34:35Again, playoff
00:34:35atmosphere.
00:34:37One woman will
00:34:38advance.
00:34:39One woman's
00:34:40dreams come to
00:34:41an abrupt end
00:34:42here tonight.
00:34:44That decision
00:34:45looming later on
00:34:46as these two
00:34:46continue to go
00:34:47back and forth.
00:34:48When you're a
00:34:48gold medal winner,
00:34:49you get compared
00:34:50to Kurt Angle,
00:34:50and right now,
00:34:51that ankle
00:34:52line is cinched
00:34:53in deep on
00:34:54Humphrey.
00:34:55And we have
00:34:56not seen this
00:34:57sort of pain
00:34:58etched on
00:34:58Humphrey's face
00:34:59or haven't seen
00:35:00Humphrey in this
00:35:01sort of position
00:35:02since the
00:35:03beginning of this
00:35:04LFG journey.
00:35:05Well, let's not
00:35:05forget, she's a
00:35:06true rookie.
00:35:06She started the
00:35:07show just a week
00:35:08after signing here
00:35:09at the Performance
00:35:10Center, so she
00:35:10started from jump,
00:35:11just absolutely
00:35:13from the very
00:35:13beginning, and
00:35:14we've seen that
00:35:15progress, and
00:35:15look at how
00:35:16comfortable she's
00:35:17already in the
00:35:17ring at this
00:35:18stage of the
00:35:19show.
00:35:20Steele back to
00:35:21her feet, you
00:35:22know, some
00:35:22issues from the
00:35:23legends about
00:35:24Steele has been
00:35:25the toughness, has
00:35:27been able to
00:35:28protect her
00:35:28toughness at
00:35:29times.
00:35:30She just got
00:35:30caught, though,
00:35:32looking for that
00:35:32massive chokeslam,
00:35:33going back down,
00:35:34trying to break
00:35:35that vertical base,
00:35:36charging in, uh-oh,
00:35:38in a massive
00:35:40sidewalk slam.
00:35:42Again, Bailey Humphrey
00:35:44showing, you know, a
00:35:46lot of experience for
00:35:47the fact is she's
00:35:48only been in here a
00:35:48few weeks now.
00:35:50Very, I mean, just
00:35:51absolutely incredible
00:35:51if you think about
00:35:52it.
00:35:52Will the third time be
00:35:53the charm?
00:35:54With the Undertaker
00:35:55looking on, massive
00:35:56chokeslam.
00:35:59Whoa!
00:36:01That's it.
00:36:02Oh, cover!
00:36:03Cover!
00:36:03Cover!
00:36:03Cover!
00:36:07Bailey still feel the
00:36:08effects of that ankle
00:36:09lock.
00:36:09Couldn't cover.
00:36:10Match continues.
00:36:12Oh, she's going
00:36:13for the finish.
00:36:16Undertaker looking
00:36:17on, and there's the
00:36:18strength with the
00:36:19knee given out.
00:36:20Steele, who has done
00:36:21all the damage to the
00:36:22lower body, goes back
00:36:24to another submission,
00:36:25JB, and there really
00:36:26is a lot of torque
00:36:27and crank, and
00:36:28Huntry has no choice
00:36:29but to tap.
00:36:32Here is your winner
00:36:33by submission,
00:36:36Tara May
00:36:37Seal!
00:36:40Well, the one can
00:36:41advance, but overall,
00:36:42I'd have to say,
00:36:42Undertaker has to be
00:36:43pleased with the
00:36:44performances of his
00:36:45Tyra May
00:36:46Steele and Bailey
00:36:47Humphrey.
00:36:48But a decision still
00:36:50looms from the
00:36:51Undertaker.
00:36:52Who goes home?
00:36:53Who advances?
00:36:54Because it's playoff
00:36:56time here on LFG.
00:36:58They are teammates
00:37:11after all.
00:37:11Oh, wait a minute.
00:37:12Not so fast.
00:37:14Look at this.
00:37:15Bailey having the
00:37:16last word.
00:37:20Nice.
00:37:21I mean, come on, JB.
00:37:22So much for teammates.
00:37:25Yeah.
00:37:26See you later,
00:37:27alligator.
00:37:31All from the feel-good
00:37:33butterflies to seeing
00:37:35that.
00:37:36What is on the mind
00:37:37of the phenom
00:37:38with the decision
00:37:39looming here on LFG?
00:37:46Undertaker, both ladies
00:37:48showed up and showed
00:37:49out for your team.
00:37:50Unfortunately, someone
00:37:52will be sent home
00:37:53packing today.
00:37:54Will it be Bailey
00:37:55Humphrey?
00:37:56Will it be Tyra May
00:37:57Steele?
00:37:58Wow.
00:38:00I can say that you
00:38:01guys walked out here
00:38:02and you both look like
00:38:03you belonged on
00:38:04television already.
00:38:05Bailey, you look
00:38:07really on point
00:38:08here tonight.
00:38:10Tyra, same thing.
00:38:11Both of you guys did
00:38:12a really, really
00:38:13awesome job.
00:38:14You guys did amazing.
00:38:17You guys told me a
00:38:18story.
00:38:20You guys told me a story
00:38:21that neither one of you
00:38:22want to go home
00:38:23and you made my decision
00:38:25extremely difficult.
00:38:28Well done.
00:38:29Great job, ladies.
00:38:30Thank you, legends.
00:38:31Good s***.
00:38:41Good s***.
00:38:42Good s***.
00:38:45It was fun.
00:38:47Tyra and Bailey,
00:38:48they freaking killed it.
00:38:50You're just sitting there
00:38:50like wondering how
00:38:51these judges
00:38:51are going to decide
00:38:53on who gets
00:38:53sent home.
00:38:55I would hate
00:38:56to be in that position.
00:38:57When I landed,
00:38:58I went,
00:38:58oh, that hurt.
00:38:59I haven't felt that
00:39:00the entire time
00:39:02I've been here
00:39:03in two years.
00:39:04That was fun.
00:39:05Like,
00:39:05that was fun.
00:39:06That was effing
00:39:07awesome.
00:39:07Balls to the wall.
00:39:08This is the most
00:39:09pressure that I have felt
00:39:11in two years
00:39:12I've been here.
00:39:13I just felt
00:39:14really good about it.
00:39:16And,
00:39:17like,
00:39:18when the match
00:39:19was done,
00:39:20I was not selling.
00:39:21I was like,
00:39:22mother of everything
00:39:23that is holy.
00:39:24my back.
00:39:27Honestly,
00:39:27that performance
00:39:28out there
00:39:28was the best one
00:39:30I think I've ever done.
00:39:31That was
00:39:32the best wrestling match
00:39:33I've had,
00:39:34hands down.
00:39:35I think I gave Taker
00:39:36another reason
00:39:37to think about me.
00:39:41It's the last match
00:39:42of the day,
00:39:42and the expectations
00:39:44weigh heavily
00:39:45on Danny Sikulski
00:39:46and Serena Linton.
00:39:49Confidence is everything,
00:39:50and if you believe
00:39:51in yourself,
00:39:51then it shows out there.
00:39:54You'll feel my heart,
00:39:55you'll feel my passion.
00:39:56She's not my teammate
00:39:57anymore.
00:39:57She's competition.
00:40:00Ah!
00:40:02You just said something.
00:40:03You're nervous.
00:40:04Why are you nervous?
00:40:05I think the women
00:40:05have already started
00:40:06to set the bar high,
00:40:07so we're last,
00:40:09and we gotta go out
00:40:10with a bang.
00:40:11It's all or nothing today.
00:40:12The following comes
00:40:20at the schedule
00:40:214-1 fall.
00:40:24Introducing first,
00:40:26representing
00:40:27Team Mickey Chase,
00:40:30from Phoenix, Arizona,
00:40:33Serena Linton.
00:40:36For Linton,
00:40:38she certainly has made
00:40:39a real run,
00:40:41as they would say,
00:40:42over the last few weeks
00:40:43here on LFG,
00:40:45but can't she keep it up?
00:40:48All right, Serena.
00:40:49Let's see what you got,
00:40:50baby girl.
00:40:50All right, Serena.
00:40:53All right, Serena.
00:40:55She's really coming
00:40:56out of her shell.
00:40:57She definitely is.
00:40:59Definitely.
00:40:59Yeah.
00:41:05All come out of her shell.
00:41:08Oh, we got props.
00:41:10We got props.
00:41:11Team Mickey Chase,
00:41:13from San Francisco
00:41:15United States,
00:41:16D-C-C.
00:41:22Outside of steel,
00:41:23this woman
00:41:24was the other early
00:41:26LFG standout.
00:41:28This is an interesting thing
00:41:29because this is
00:41:30a team sport
00:41:31with individual outcomes.
00:41:33You have to work together.
00:41:34Obviously,
00:41:35you need to create
00:41:35something with
00:41:36your opponent,
00:41:37and so much at stake
00:41:38on an individual basis,
00:41:39that makes things
00:41:40a little bit more complicated.
00:41:41The playoffs mean
00:41:42one woman goes on,
00:41:44one woman goes home.
00:41:45At the end of this,
00:41:46Mickey James
00:41:46to make that decision
00:41:47for her team.
00:41:52Well, a little bit
00:41:53of a stalemate
00:41:54between these two women
00:41:56here tonight.
00:41:59The gear,
00:42:01the red and blue gear
00:42:03on each one of them
00:42:04looks so good.
00:42:05Yeah.
00:42:11A little wrestling.
00:42:13A little wrestling action.
00:42:14Chain wrestling going on here.
00:42:15Yeah.
00:42:16Let's not forget,
00:42:17Serena Linton
00:42:17entered this competition
00:42:19from week one
00:42:20with zero experience.
00:42:22Pretty impressive
00:42:23how far she's come.
00:42:24Ref ain't counting it.
00:42:24Shoulders are not down.
00:42:27Same can be said
00:42:28for who we saw
00:42:29earlier tonight,
00:42:29that being Bailey Humphrey,
00:42:31and that's what the
00:42:31beauty of LFG
00:42:34has been,
00:42:35is all these individuals
00:42:36are almost like
00:42:37lumps of clay
00:42:38that have been molded
00:42:39by these legends,
00:42:40but they've been molded
00:42:42and they've created
00:42:42this environment
00:42:44here on LFG
00:42:45and they've created
00:42:46these bonds
00:42:46and these relationships
00:42:47but these legends
00:42:48now have to make
00:42:49a decision.
00:42:50They gotta look
00:42:51into the ring,
00:42:51not only the women
00:42:52this week
00:42:52but the men next week
00:42:53and they have to
00:42:54dash some dreams.
00:42:56They have to kill
00:42:56some hopes
00:42:57for one of these women
00:42:59and a man next week
00:43:00to go home
00:43:01to be eliminated
00:43:02here in the playoffs.
00:43:04Well, at the end
00:43:04of the day,
00:43:05only one can win
00:43:06the contract.
00:43:06One male,
00:43:07one female
00:43:07delivered by Shawn Michaels.
00:43:09We will see that
00:43:10at the end of the season.
00:43:11High cross body,
00:43:12cover,
00:43:12kick out.
00:43:14But so far,
00:43:15such a showing
00:43:16and really such advancement
00:43:17we're seeing along
00:43:18the journey
00:43:18for each of these
00:43:19future greats.
00:43:20You can see it.
00:43:21Oh!
00:43:21Ripping the hair.
00:43:23Serena.
00:43:24Just look at Serena
00:43:25in the confidence
00:43:26that she brings
00:43:27to the ring now
00:43:27compared to the first time
00:43:28we saw her.
00:43:29I believe it was
00:43:29in week four.
00:43:30Now,
00:43:31as we continue
00:43:32on this journey,
00:43:33she looks confident
00:43:33as ever going in there
00:43:34and that's just over
00:43:35the span of,
00:43:36what,
00:43:36two months.
00:43:37Now they're covering
00:43:38another kick out.
00:43:39We brought up
00:43:40Bailey Humphrey.
00:43:40We've seen Serena
00:43:42who's into another cover
00:43:43and Humphrey
00:43:43I've talked about
00:43:44and bonded over
00:43:45their gymnastics background.
00:43:46That's something else
00:43:47here in LFG
00:43:47when we talk about
00:43:48the backgrounds
00:43:49of all these
00:43:49individual athletes.
00:43:51Serena being gymnastics
00:43:52for Danny.
00:43:52It's being cheerleading
00:43:53and right now
00:43:54able to count her shoulders down
00:43:56in another near fall.
00:43:57When you're a D1 athlete,
00:43:59when you're at the top
00:43:59of your game,
00:44:00you're already at a discipline.
00:44:01You're already at a set regimen
00:44:03of how you train
00:44:04and how you are successful in it.
00:44:06Transfer that now
00:44:07out of this industry.
00:44:08That is the challenge
00:44:09of breaking in
00:44:10and breaking through.
00:44:12Mickey James,
00:44:13huge decision still to come.
00:44:14Linton in control.
00:44:15Is she the one
00:44:16to advance here on LFG?
00:44:20What minute?
00:44:21Back on LFG.
00:44:25Playoffs continuing.
00:44:26A modified Bronco buster.
00:44:28She likes that Bronco buster.
00:44:30A little buster.
00:44:31Yeah.
00:44:32B-U-S-T-A-H.
00:44:33Buster.
00:44:35Another cover,
00:44:36another kick out
00:44:36for Linton.
00:44:37You know,
00:44:37she really started to stand out
00:44:39amongst the women.
00:44:40Just go back to last week
00:44:41in the tag team matches.
00:44:42It was someone
00:44:43you know very well.
00:44:44The phenomenal one,
00:44:44AJ Styles,
00:44:45who singled her out.
00:44:47Serena's got a lot
00:44:49of natural instincts.
00:44:53Just one,
00:44:54listen,
00:44:54you got a hard decision.
00:44:55I'm just wondering
00:44:56if it's a little bit
00:44:59too late.
00:44:59But in the past couple,
00:45:00last two,
00:45:01three weeks,
00:45:01Serena showed you
00:45:02more than,
00:45:03I think showed us more,
00:45:04all of us more than any,
00:45:06you know.
00:45:07I know.
00:45:07Danny started hot.
00:45:12She cooled off a little bit.
00:45:13Because she was hurt.
00:45:14Yeah,
00:45:14true,
00:45:15true.
00:45:15You know,
00:45:15and I feel like she lost
00:45:16some of her momentum,
00:45:17but Danny has been here longer,
00:45:19you know.
00:45:20It's just that Serena's
00:45:21very charismatic,
00:45:23but she's very green,
00:45:25you know.
00:45:28We were all green.
00:45:29Yeah.
00:45:31We talked about JV.
00:45:32Everything is under
00:45:33the microscope
00:45:34in this moment.
00:45:36We're getting some
00:45:36great insight.
00:45:37And I get the feeling
00:45:37watching the legends
00:45:38throughout the course
00:45:39of this episode
00:45:39here in the playoffs,
00:45:40as we're getting
00:45:41to the end of this process,
00:45:43I feel like the legends
00:45:44are very proud
00:45:45of each of these
00:45:46future greats
00:45:47and how far they've come.
00:45:48You're seeing
00:45:48measurable growth.
00:45:50You're seeing
00:45:50measurable confidence
00:45:51experience in that ring
00:45:53in a very short time.
00:45:54And if you talk
00:45:55to some of the legends,
00:45:56they would tell you
00:45:56that Danny may need
00:45:58a little boost
00:45:58to her confidence
00:45:59as we're here
00:46:01in the playoffs.
00:46:01But right now,
00:46:02you can't slip.
00:46:03You can't stutter.
00:46:04You can't slow down.
00:46:05You have to take
00:46:05all the training,
00:46:06all the one-on-one sessions
00:46:08and really put it together
00:46:10to impress Mickie James
00:46:12for these two women.
00:46:14A bullfrog?
00:46:17Bullfrog.
00:46:17A bullfrog?
00:46:18It's like the bulldog,
00:46:19only small.
00:46:20A bullfrog.
00:46:22Eddie Zygalski
00:46:23and Serena Linton
00:46:24doing a great job here
00:46:26showcasing their skills
00:46:27and knowing at the end
00:46:28of this that Mickie James
00:46:29will have the decision
00:46:30going to make
00:46:30who goes on
00:46:31to the semifinals.
00:46:38Looking to take
00:46:39a high risk.
00:46:41Oh.
00:46:42Overshot.
00:46:43Overshot to Landy.
00:46:46Did not pay off.
00:46:47Wait a minute.
00:46:48Trip.
00:46:49Cover.
00:46:50Hey, wait!
00:46:51Oh, by any means necessary.
00:46:53Here is your winner.
00:46:57Go figure.
00:46:58One of your girls
00:46:59cheated to win.
00:47:01Look at her face.
00:47:07Her face isn't all.
00:47:11Victory is her.
00:47:13Serena Linton victorious
00:47:14here on LFG.
00:47:18That personality.
00:47:20Look.
00:47:21You're excited for your girl.
00:47:24You know.
00:47:24She just made life
00:47:25difficult for you.
00:47:26Because going into this match
00:47:28I think you had your mind
00:47:29made up.
00:47:29Now, not so much.
00:47:31I don't.
00:47:31I don't know, man.
00:47:32It's going to be a hard choice here.
00:47:33I kind of already...
00:47:35The fact is that
00:47:36they've all stepped up today.
00:47:38Every single one of these girls
00:47:39has stepped up
00:47:40in one way, shape, or form.
00:47:41Yeah.
00:47:42Big decisions still to come
00:47:44and that moment is next.
00:47:47All right, all right.
00:47:49Book!
00:47:50What did you think about the match?
00:47:52I thought both you guys
00:47:53worked really, really hard
00:47:54in the beginning.
00:47:55Danny, I thought you were
00:47:56shoo-in
00:47:57and just run away
00:47:58with this thing
00:47:58but it seemed like
00:47:59it's tightened up so much
00:48:01it's a lot of pressure
00:48:02and I think that's what it is.
00:48:03So,
00:48:04it's going to be a hard choice.
00:48:05Yeah.
00:48:06That was fun to watch.
00:48:08Who knew you were a heel?
00:48:11Well done
00:48:11and I do not envy you
00:48:14one bit
00:48:16because this is legitimately
00:48:19a close,
00:48:21close call.
00:48:24So, the boss just said
00:48:26that was fun to watch
00:48:28and I had a really fun time
00:48:31watching your match.
00:48:32Danny, I've been a fan of you
00:48:34and your look
00:48:34and the way you've come off
00:48:36since day one
00:48:37and you know that
00:48:37and Serena,
00:48:38you've won me over
00:48:39and I think there's so much more
00:48:41to you
00:48:42and yes,
00:48:44you have a very,
00:48:46very difficult choice.
00:48:48It was a fun,
00:48:49easy story
00:48:49and girly
00:48:50which I love,
00:48:51you know.
00:48:52Yeah, I was really proud of you.
00:48:53It is a tough decision.
00:48:55You know,
00:48:55it's a very hard decision
00:48:57that we all have to make
00:48:58today.
00:48:59I'm not looking forward to it
00:49:01but I'm proud of you both.
00:49:03Great job.
00:49:07Before the eliminations start,
00:49:09the legends must choose
00:49:10which match earns
00:49:11this week's point.
00:49:12who had the best match
00:49:14here today?
00:49:15Who stood out
00:49:16a little bit
00:49:17above the rest?
00:49:20Bubba Ray,
00:49:21I'm going to start with you.
00:49:23Bailey and Tyra,
00:49:24boom, done,
00:49:25see you, bye.
00:49:26Wow.
00:49:27Clean cut.
00:49:28Mickie James,
00:49:30the grudgingly.
00:49:31I'm going to have to agree.
00:49:33I think out of all the matches
00:49:35you guys told the best story,
00:49:36everything was solid.
00:49:37Okay,
00:49:39Undertaker?
00:49:41I can't argue
00:49:42with these legends.
00:49:46Okay,
00:49:47Bailey and Tyra.
00:49:49Booker T,
00:49:50do you agree?
00:49:53I really want to say
00:49:54Tyra and Bailey.
00:49:56And the thing is,
00:49:58I'm going to say
00:49:59Tyra and Bailey.
00:50:01But,
00:50:02I am going to put
00:50:04an asterisk
00:50:04by that.
00:50:07All right?
00:50:08That's all I'm going to say.
00:50:10What's the asterisk?
00:50:11Don't worry about that.
00:50:12Don't worry about that.
00:50:13We all know.
00:50:14We all know.
00:50:15We all know.
00:50:16That's all that needs to be said.
00:50:17Great job.
00:50:18You guys did a great job.
00:50:19Good job.
00:50:20Great job.
00:50:20Bravo.
00:50:21Encore.
00:50:22Bravo.
00:50:27This
00:50:27Okay.
00:50:32Bailey and Tyra.
00:50:33With that,
00:50:35Undertaker
00:50:35is still in the lead.
00:50:37But there's still time.
00:50:41And with that,
00:50:43the moment has come.
00:50:45Someone
00:50:46is going home.
00:50:48Four will stay.
00:50:50Four
00:50:50have to pack their bags
00:50:52and leave LFG.
00:50:53The male future greats
00:50:58watch the eliminations
00:50:59backstage in the gym.
00:51:01We were faced with
00:51:02the reality that
00:51:03somebody's going home.
00:51:04So it raised the stakes
00:51:05a lot.
00:51:08Tatiana.
00:51:10Zena.
00:51:11Please step forward.
00:51:18Bubba Ray.
00:51:19Please step down.
00:51:20Here we go.
00:51:26I'm going to keep it really simple
00:51:28because from day one,
00:51:30I told all of you that
00:51:31this is a business to me
00:51:33and I don't take things personally,
00:51:36nor should you take things personally.
00:51:38And I need you both to remember
00:51:40and you all to remember
00:51:41that it is a business
00:51:43and you have to develop
00:51:45thick skin.
00:51:47I gave you both
00:51:48the opportunity
00:51:50to succeed today.
00:51:52And I think you both
00:51:53did succeed today.
00:51:55But I just think you succeeded
00:51:56a little bit too late.
00:51:58I asked you why you should stay
00:52:04and you gave me a great answer
00:52:06because you said the right things
00:52:09and you moved me
00:52:10and you moved me again today.
00:52:13So you get one of these,
00:52:16you get one of these,
00:52:18and you get one of these.
00:52:23But you got to go home.
00:52:25I do.
00:52:26Good job.
00:52:26Good luck.
00:52:30And with that,
00:52:31Zena, congratulations.
00:52:33You survived.
00:52:35Tatiana.
00:52:36Great job.
00:52:38And best of luck.
00:52:47It's a mixed bag of emotions.
00:52:50You know,
00:52:50I agree with Bubba,
00:52:52which kind of,
00:52:53like,
00:52:54a little bit.
00:52:56But they're not tears of sadness,
00:52:57they're tears of passion.
00:53:00And this was a great way
00:53:01of showcasing
00:53:02just the beginning.
00:53:07Next up,
00:53:08Lee,
00:53:09Panina,
00:53:10please step forward.
00:53:14Booker T,
00:53:16please step down.
00:53:22All right, guys.
00:53:24Tough choice.
00:53:25Tough choice.
00:53:27And I must say,
00:53:28I hate that we're here.
00:53:30We got to prepare
00:53:30to actually go out there
00:53:32and actually win.
00:53:34I thought both you guys won tonight.
00:53:36But unfortunately,
00:53:37somebody's got to go home.
00:53:38I'm looking for the best
00:53:40professional wrestler.
00:53:42And I think the person
00:53:43who actually
00:53:43fought the most effort
00:53:46tonight was Panina.
00:53:49Unfortunately,
00:53:51you're going to be going home tonight.
00:53:53But you did a great job.
00:53:54Thanks, Coach.
00:53:54Great job, Panina.
00:54:01Good job.
00:54:02Thanks, Coach.
00:54:03With that,
00:54:05Panina,
00:54:06congratulations.
00:54:07You will be moving on
00:54:09to the semifinals.
00:54:11Lee,
00:54:11great job.
00:54:14Best of luck.
00:54:14Just appreciate you guys.
00:54:18This isn't the end
00:54:20and you'll be seeing
00:54:21a lot of me later.
00:54:23Can't wait.
00:54:25I honestly feel okay.
00:54:34for once I was just
00:54:35allowing myself
00:54:36to flow in the match
00:54:38and allow myself
00:54:40to enjoy
00:54:41like every little
00:54:42bit of it.
00:54:43Like,
00:54:44I'm so obsessed
00:54:45with this now.
00:54:46And I,
00:54:47I can't see my life
00:54:49going in any other direction.
00:54:51I will be
00:54:52a great pro wrestler
00:54:53one day.
00:54:54Tyra May,
00:55:04Bailey,
00:55:06please step forward.
00:55:10Undertaker,
00:55:11please step down.
00:55:19Before I start talking,
00:55:21I just think it's important
00:55:23that both of you know
00:55:24I'm incredibly proud
00:55:26I am of the work
00:55:28that you guys put in.
00:55:30Whoever stays
00:55:30and whoever walks away,
00:55:32no one should hang their head.
00:55:35I've got an Olympic gold medalist
00:55:36and I have somebody
00:55:38who I feel
00:55:39is going to change
00:55:40the face of women's wrestling.
00:55:43For where we're at right now,
00:55:50Tyra.
00:55:54You're moving on.
00:55:59Bailey,
00:56:00incredible.
00:56:03I'm so proud of you.
00:56:06And this is only
00:56:06the beginning for you.
00:56:08I'm always going to be
00:56:08in your corner.
00:56:09Mm-hmm.
00:56:09Right?
00:56:10Mm-hmm.
00:56:11Don't hang your head.
00:56:12You walk out of here proud
00:56:13and know
00:56:15that you're going to
00:56:16revolutionize this business.
00:56:18Okay.
00:56:18I truly believe that
00:56:18or I wouldn't tell you that.
00:56:20Okay.
00:56:20All right?
00:56:21Okay.
00:56:22Mm-hmm.
00:56:22Thank you coaches
00:56:30for everything.
00:56:35You've been one to hug me
00:56:36all year long
00:56:37and if you're not going to
00:56:37jeez,
00:56:38don't take me down.
00:56:39I'm upset
00:56:52and I told myself
00:56:54I wasn't going to cry
00:56:55but when Taker
00:56:57whispered in my ear
00:56:57that I was going to
00:56:59change the face
00:56:59of women's wrestling,
00:57:00that got me.
00:57:03That got me.
00:57:03Come on now.
00:57:05Come on now.
00:57:06You already know.
00:57:08The Undertaker said
00:57:09the face of women's wrestling.
00:57:12I have a fighter in me
00:57:13and I'm ready to keep going.
00:57:15I'm not done.
00:57:17Y'all will see me again soon.
00:57:23And then there were two.
00:57:26Serena,
00:57:28Danny,
00:57:29please step forward.
00:57:33Mickie James,
00:57:35please step down.
00:57:37I have not been looking forward
00:57:46to this.
00:57:46I've been dreading this moment.
00:57:48I just want to tell you
00:57:49that you both have grown
00:57:50so much since day one
00:57:51and I'm impressed every week.
00:57:55I've come to love you guys so much,
00:57:57you know,
00:57:58between all of this
00:57:59and I'm going to follow
00:58:00your careers forever
00:58:01because you have a fan of me
00:58:03for life.
00:58:04It's just,
00:58:05this is really difficult for me,
00:58:06you know.
00:58:06I don't want to,
00:58:07I don't want to say goodbye
00:58:08to either of you
00:58:09and I'm like,
00:58:10I've been sitting here
00:58:11trying to get advice from them.
00:58:12Like,
00:58:12what would you do?
00:58:13What do you do?
00:58:14You know,
00:58:14because I need to do
00:58:15the right thing
00:58:16and I think,
00:58:16I think I need to do
00:58:17the right thing.
00:58:21I don't think
00:58:22Mickie's decided yet.
00:58:25I need to do
00:58:26the right thing.
00:58:28I don't think
00:58:29Mickie's decided yet.
00:58:30But Serena,
00:58:33I think you have
00:58:33a world of potential
00:58:35inside of you
00:58:36and you are going
00:58:37to run this show
00:58:39but I would not want
00:58:42to put you on TV
00:58:43right now
00:58:43because I think
00:58:44it would do you
00:58:45a disservice
00:58:45and it would keep you
00:58:47away from your greatness
00:58:48and that is the last thing
00:58:49I would ever want to do.
00:58:51I'm sorry
00:58:52but I have to send you home
00:58:54but please call me.
00:58:55You're not going
00:59:01to make me cry.
00:59:03Sorry.
00:59:03I wish I could
00:59:04keep you forever.
00:59:05I wish you could
00:59:06just come to my house
00:59:07and let me train you.
00:59:11With that,
00:59:13Danny,
00:59:14congratulations.
00:59:15You will be moving
00:59:16on to the semifinals.
00:59:18Serena,
00:59:19excellent job.
00:59:21Best of luck.
00:59:22Thank you, Mickie.
00:59:24Thank you, Legends.
00:59:26It's been amazing,
00:59:27amazing opportunity
00:59:28to get it up.
00:59:29Like she said,
00:59:30I'll see you really soon.
00:59:36I'm proud of myself
00:59:37for coming in here
00:59:38and giving me
00:59:39everything I could
00:59:40this entire season.
00:59:42It's been a blessing.
00:59:43Of course,
00:59:43I'm disappointed
00:59:44but I left it all out there
00:59:48and I think there's
00:59:48a lot in store for me.
00:59:52In two weeks,
00:59:57the LFG semifinal playoffs
00:59:59begin
00:59:59and this four
01:00:01becomes two.
01:00:04One of you
01:00:04will be walking away
01:00:06with an NXT contract.
01:00:08Best of luck
01:00:09to all of you.
01:00:10Thank you, Legends.
01:00:14Who wants this bad enough?
01:00:15Who's the better wrestler?
01:00:16Who's the better entertainer?
01:00:18Who's the better package?
01:00:19Who has the it factor?
01:00:20Who's going to put asses
01:00:22in seats for NXT
01:00:23and the WWE?
01:00:25It's time
01:00:26to find out.
01:00:32Okay.
01:00:35It hurts my heart.
01:00:36It hurts my heart too.
01:00:38I hate having to pick
01:00:39that lovey bow.
01:00:40I hate this.
01:00:41Honestly,
01:00:43my first reaction
01:00:44when Mickey had chosen me
01:00:46was that I just wanted
01:00:48to look at Serena
01:00:49and say that
01:00:49she's amazing
01:00:50and that
01:00:52either one of us
01:00:53were equally deserving
01:00:55of the opportunity
01:00:56to move forward.
01:00:58I'm going to win this thing
01:00:59for Team Mickey.
01:01:01I'm so sorry.
01:01:03I hated this.
01:01:05I have a lot of faith
01:01:06in Serena
01:01:06and I think she's going
01:01:07to be a huge star
01:01:07and I think that
01:01:09if she gets tucked away
01:01:10for a little bit
01:01:11or if she can work
01:01:12on her craft
01:01:13and really hone in,
01:01:14she's going to be unstoppable.
01:01:16Your name will be up in lights.
01:01:18I am a future great.
01:01:20I will never not be
01:01:21a future great
01:01:21and someday
01:01:22I'll be a legend
01:01:23just like Mickey James.
01:01:25I think everyone
01:01:27is well aware
01:01:28of what's at stake now.
01:01:30I think these eliminations
01:01:32gave everyone
01:01:34the wake-up call
01:01:34that they needed
01:01:35if they don't deliver
01:01:36that this dream is,
01:01:38it comes to an end.
01:01:40There was one legend
01:01:42that pulled me aside
01:01:43and
01:01:44to have him look me in the eyes
01:01:50and say,
01:01:51you will be fine
01:01:52was all that I needed.
01:01:55You've got a great future
01:01:56ahead of you.
01:01:57This is just a stop
01:01:59along the way.
01:02:01I need you to look
01:02:01at it like that.
01:02:02It was such a pleasure
01:02:03to be a part of this
01:02:05but the elimination
01:02:06from LFG
01:02:08is what is going
01:02:09to stoke a fire
01:02:10for the rest of the journey
01:02:11as a pro wrestler.
01:02:14We got something
01:02:14to fight for now.
01:02:15We got something
01:02:16to really, really focus on
01:02:18because we're all driven.
01:02:20We all want to win.
01:02:25Danny,
01:02:27Tyra Mae Steele,
01:02:30Xena Sterling,
01:02:31you guys are not
01:02:32on the same level as me.
01:02:34Y'all gonna have to come
01:02:34get your issue
01:02:35for real
01:02:36because Pete Nasty
01:02:37is not here to play, baby.
01:02:40Winning this NXT contract
01:02:42would be an absolute dream.
01:02:44It is something that
01:02:45little Xena has dreamed of
01:02:47from 17 years old.
01:02:48I think that's what
01:02:50I meant to do.
01:02:52The journey that's
01:02:53coming ahead
01:02:53shows me that it all
01:02:55happened for a reason
01:02:55and that door
01:02:56is opening for me.
01:02:58I have what it takes
01:03:00to overcome
01:03:01every single obstacle
01:03:03that stands in my way.
01:03:05It's no shade
01:03:07to any of the other contenders
01:03:08but it's TMS
01:03:09that is going to be
01:03:11on that stage.
01:03:12While the final four
01:03:18prepare for the
01:03:19semi-final round,
01:03:20one of the eliminated
01:03:21future greats
01:03:22has her eyes
01:03:23set firmly
01:03:23on the future.
01:03:30What does the future
01:03:31hold for Bailey Humphrey?
01:03:33Honestly,
01:03:34it's endless.
01:03:36There is no limit.
01:03:39I see myself
01:03:40standing in the ring
01:03:41with thousands
01:03:42of people around me
01:03:43chanting my name.
01:03:45Crushing the skull
01:03:46of Danny Zekowski
01:03:46for dedication,
01:03:48for athleticism.
01:03:49It all shines through.
01:03:50Bailey Humphrey
01:03:51victorious here on LFG.
01:03:53And let's go.
01:04:00Previously on LFG.
01:04:03Today begins
01:04:04the first round
01:04:05of the LFG playoffs.
01:04:08Your legend
01:04:09is going to determine
01:04:10which one of you
01:04:12stays
01:04:12and which one of you
01:04:14goes home.
01:04:17Last week,
01:04:18we were all reminded
01:04:19that this is a competition
01:04:20and not only
01:04:21were we reminded
01:04:22but we were faced
01:04:23with the reality
01:04:24that somebody's going home.
01:04:26I'm sorry
01:04:26but I have to send you home.
01:04:29I'm unfortunately
01:04:30Lee
01:04:30going to be going home tonight.
01:04:32Tyra,
01:04:33you're moving on.
01:04:35Bailey,
01:04:35I'm always going to be
01:04:36in your corner.
01:04:37Good job.
01:04:37Good luck.
01:04:39But you got to go home.
01:04:46Ready to go.
01:04:47Ready to go.
01:04:48I'm excited.
01:04:49I'm excited.
01:04:51Better come out.
01:04:52That's it.
01:04:53So it's the start
01:04:58of a new day
01:04:59at LFG.
01:05:01I decide,
01:05:02you know what,
01:05:03I'm going to have some
01:05:03fun.
