We are the Evolve arena for this. Mike side headlocks him. HR dives at his knee. Mike shoulders HR over. Mike armdrags and dropkicks him out. Mike handsprings and tries a flip but slips. Mike springboard dropkicks him off the apron. HR sweeps him on the apron.

HR lariats him. HR kicks him in the leg and double stomps the back of his neck for 2. They trade chops. Mike hits a big lariat. Mike sitout powerbombs him and pins him.
Thoughts: The stuff with Terry pre-match was funny because it went exactly as I thought it would. What was saying is really the type of wrestler he is. They gave Terry about 30 seconds of what he wanted. I thought the leg could have been worked better here since it was an important part of the match. They kept it moving. HR wasted a lot of time when he was in control.
Terry Taylor says he didn't want to like the match but it was good. He says Mike's selling was disjointed. He says heels take advantage and face weathers the storm. Terry says they gave him 1:25 of working holds. He says he wants them to do less and sell more. Harley says the moral of the story is doing less and the crowd will be more interested in the story.
Matt Bloom talks to them. Matt tells Mike less is more and says he's doing a better job of it. Matt says HR's chops were awful.

They lock up and fight for control. Bay side headlocks her and shoulders her over. Bay blocks a slam then lariats her. Bay corner lariats her and throws her. Bay boots her in the corner and throws her again. Bay stomps her for 2.
Bay hits elbows on her. Bay lariats her down. Masyn ddt's her off a suplex attempt. They trade shots on their knees and Bubba gets upset. Masyn hits some shots then flying back elbows her. Masyn shoulders her over and slams her for 2.
Bay powerbomb lifts her into a powerslam and pins her.
Thoughts: They kind of tried to do a power vs power match here. I didn't really buy Masyn as someone who could handle Bay power for power but that's what they were told to do. It wasn't anything special.
Terry says he's never seen Bay's finisher before and Bubba says she's been doing it since Season 1 of LFG (correct).
Bubba talks to Masyn and Bayley. Bubba says it was a good and said Masyn understood the story. Bubba tells Masyn not to fire up small and says she's larger than life. Bubba wants Bayley to be loud when she yells at people so more people can hear it. Bubba wants her to find her inner animal. Bay says she thought they did a good job of telling the story.
Matt Bloom says he was proud of the story they told. Matt says they have forgiving and understanding fans. Matt says Masyn didn't do much in the match and needs to give him more. Matt says it was a solid match.
Booker T talks to Kali Armstrong and Layla Diggs. Diggs says Booker wants them to focus on the little things and not the moves. Diggs says Booker knows what he's talking about and is so passionate. Diggs says he wants Layla to show she's in control.
Booker tells Kali he's looking for the small things.

Thoughts: It was a good bout and one of Layla's best so far. She showed off her agility some. Kali was great here. She moved really well, picked up lots of speed and everything she did had some force with it. I was very impressed with Kali here.
Bubba says Kali has something and Booker says she has everything. Layla's head is busted open. Kali says Layla's a warrior. Shawn Michaels asks how Lyla got it. Layla later says she got it from Kali butt dropping her. Layla says getting anything from Shawn is nice.
Booker talks to Layla and Kali. Booker says Layla never gave him a dominant position and wanted her to fire up after the overhead kick. Booker says Kali showed her all the spots she needed and says the powerslam was perfect.
Layla says she feels good and has progressed each match. Booker says Kali passed the test and is on the way to becoming great. Matt Bloom says she's a high potential talent and says the possibilities are endless.
Overall thoughts: The show ended on a strong point with Layla and Kali and that's a good thing. It was the usual LFG show for this season. We learned something about the wrestlers, the coach told them what to do, they did it then got reviewed. It makes sense, it's understandable and it's a reliable format. As always, I wouldn't say this was must see TV or anything, but I think they are getting as much out of the concept and situation that they can. They just have to work with a lot of limitations like green wrestlers, basic matches and not being able to follow through week to week. This was fine overall but not must see.
