Next week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2025/07/wwe-lfg-762025-season-2-episode-3.html

The LFG Draft is still going on. We see clips of Booker T getting mad and leaving last week. Taker says McCool has a target on her back now. Booker says he's the creator of champs and will win anyway. Bubba picks Zena Sterling. Booker picks Harlem Lewis. Taker picks Shiloh Hill. Elijah Holyfield thinks that means Taker thinks he is better than him.

Bubba picks Elijah Holyfield. Booker picks Chris Island. Taker picks Dani Sekelsky. McCool picks Trill London.

Bubba picks Haze Jameson. Booker picks Sirena Linton. Taker picks Bayley Humphrey. McCool picks Summer Sorrell.

Booker picks Tatyanna Dumas. Bubba gets in the ring with Drake and BJ left. Bubba asks Drake if he wants to team with him again. Drake says no. He says him and BJ were in the same situation and said Bubba sent him home. Bubba says he's right and says he just confirmed the reason why he did. He says it's about entertainment and putting @sses in the seats. Bubba picks BJ. Bubba says he will make or break BJ. Taker picks Drake and says he's excited to pick a big guy.

Taker talks to his team. He says they will be judged on how good of a match they can put on. He says not to lose the focus. McCool talks to her team and sets up Summer Sorrell vs Dani Sekelsky. Summer says she needs more ideas and a character. McCool says she doesn't need that yet. Summer says she's lacking a stronger skill set. Trill is asked what his style is and he says he's a flyer. McCool thinks he's a face and sets up him vs Drake.

Bubba says their team needs to focus on bringing the positives to the spotlight. Bubba puts over Haze's look. Bubba asks what she can do to Bayley. Haze says being scrappy. Bubba says he sees tenacity in Haze and tells her to outsmart and use her speed vs Bay. Bubba says BJ's personality isn't an issue, the in-ring is. He says to show everyone that he got better in the ring. BJ says he needs to win the legends over. He's facing Harlem and Bubba says Harlem is the sleeper.

Team Booker talks. Booker works of lock-ups with Harlem. Harlem says his team will dominate and everyone else is a joke. Booker then talks trash to Taker's team.

Trill London vs Drake Morreaux

McCool marks out for Trill flipping into the ring and Bubba says "nice knowing you Drake".

Drake goes to use his stick. The ref takes it then Drake boots Trill in the chest. Drake hits punches on Trill in the corner then throws him. Drake misses a corner splash and Trill does a high flying hip attack to the back of the head.

Drake blocks a springboard armdrag. Frill flips over Drake and dropkicks him. Trill plancha's and gets nailed by Drake in mid-air. Drake splashes Trill. Trill avoids a slam and rolls him up for 2. Drake facekicks Trill for 2.

Trill hits shots to the gut and hits flying forearms. Trill dropkicks him then plancha's him outside. Trill slips on a springboard. Drake then chokeslams him and wins.

Thoughts:
This was edited and was not in front of a normal crowd, so it's hard to judge this. But, I liked what we got here. We only got to see Trill twice prior to this and he got squashed quick both times. Trill definitely has something. He just does everything his own way, he doesn't follow the usual norms and he can move well. Drake did okay as the big guy against him but I prefer Drake as the fun loving face. They had a decent big vs small man match here.

Dani says she was overlooked in Season 1 and says the contract is hers to taake this year.

Summer Sorrell vs Dani Sekelsky


Sum armdrags her. They shove each other and Dani rolls her up for 2. Dani armlocks her. Sum pulls her by the hair and reverses it then is rolled up. Dani trips her and side headlocks her. Dani side headlock takeovers her.

Dani crossbodies her for 2. Dani jumps at her and is dropped throat first on the ropes. Sum hammerlocks her. Dani gets some forearms in. Dani running forearms her and back elbows her. Dani blocks a hiptoss and rolls her into a leglock. Sum then taps out.

Thoughts: It was a shorter one. Dani hit some nice chest forearms here but it wasn't the most exciting match. They just didn't get to do a lot that would pop the crowd.

Harlem Lewis says he respects BJ Ray but he's gonna show why Booker picked him #1. He says he loves him but he's dead to him in the ring.

Harlem Lewis vs BJ Ray

BJ has khaki shorts on and some kind of sleeveless polo shirt. Booker says BJ looks pudgy.

HL backs up BJ in the corner. HL slaps his chest in the break. BJ waistlocks him and they trade headlocks. HL shoulders BJ over. BJ does a nice takedown. BJ splashes him for 1.

BJ misses a corner splash and HL side slams him. HL running boots him for 2. BJ does a takedown then shoulders him over. BJ bulldogs him. BJ tries to go over him and is caught. HL then jackhammers him for the win.

Thoughts
: It was different with BJ kind of being a dorky face here and being taken down easily. BJ still needs to work on his in-ring though as he was a bit rough here.

Bayley Humphrey vs Haze Jameson

We only saw Haze once or twice prior to this and she got nothing in.

Haze ducks lock-ups. Bay bangs Haze's head off the buckles. Haze's crossbody is caught and she's slammed. Bay misses an elbow drop and a corner charge. Haze hits boots in the corner. Haze runs at her, gets caught and takes boots in the corner. Haze hits bad boots to the gut. Haze misses a corner splash and Bay misses a lariat on her.

Haze gets on Bay's back. Bay rams her into the buckles. Haze 2nd rope crossbodies her for 2. Bay gorilla press gutbusters her. Bay does a cool lift into a powerslam and pins Haze.

Thoughts: The match structure was okay here. Haze didn't have the best outing and they definitely wanted us to see some of the weaker shots thrown.

Bay says it's her time in the back after and says welcome to LFG.

We now go to the coaches to award points. Booker says Dani was the standout. McCool picks Dani. Taker agrees. Bubba gives Dani a point. He says not to make fools of them though and doesn't seem to believe in her. Dani is happy about getting a point and it makes her want to finish Season 2 on top.

Bubba gives BJ Ray a point. BJ says Bubba would have given him every point last year if he didn't have the ego. Taker gives Drake a point. McCool says Drake needs to work on his bead throw and gives Harlem a point. Booker says he's shocked as he thought Taker/McCool were on the same team. Booker says Harlem will be on top of the podium if he keeps the intensity up. Booker gives Harlem a point.

Harlem and Dani are this week's winners. The standings are: Team Booker and Team Undertaker 1 point, Team Bubba and Team McCool 0 points.

Next week has Anthony Luke vs Chris Island, P-Nasty vs Tatyanna, Zena vs Sirena and Elijah vs Shiloh.

Overall thoughts: It was a pretty solid episode of LFG, maybe one of the better ones so far. We didn't get too much worked drama but we did get the coaches taking jabs at each other which was fun. We got four matches which was nice as well. Trill/Drake was the best match on here and Trill definitely has something as maybe a Darby Allin type of guy. It wasn't anything must see but I think they are getting a better idea of how to pull this show off and I look forward to seeing what they give us next week.
