WWE LFG 7/12/2026 Season 3, Episode 12

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/07/wwe-lfg-752026-season-3-episode-11.html

We see Harlem Lewis working out and see Mike Derudder arriving to join him. They do squats and sprints. We see them compete with each other and say the other guy won't take their spot.

Booker, Owens, Bloom and Bubba talk. Booker has Chantel Monroe vs Bayley Humphrey. Booker says Bayley has been impressing her and coming out of her shell. Bubba has Nathan Cranton vs Tate Wilder. Bloom says Tate needs to stop worrying about the flips and says they need more aggressiveness out of Nathan. Harlem Lewis face Mike Derudder and Kevin Owens is coaching it. They agree Mike is the flashier one.

Nathan and Bayley talk about their matches tonight. Nathan says Bayley is a girl you can't forget. He says he got asked to do a love story with Bayley one day at a PC Live event (We've never really heard about these, but they are shows only for PC talent that never get seen elsewhere). Bloom says they thought it would be fun to put them together as they are opposites. Bayley says it turned into something and has become entertaining. We then see Bayley grab him and hug him. Bay says her mom will be here and Nathan says "you didn't tell me you had a mother".

Chantel Monroe says she broke her nose again and has to wear a mask. She put gets on the mask. Booker talks to Chantel and Bay. Booker says they have a hell of a test tonight. Booker wants them to work on killing some time. Bay says Chantel is bad@ss and is someone she wanted to work with. Chantel gets her back and Bay swings her around.

Bay talks about her mom coming and we see Bay's mom.

CM rolls out of a lock up. Bay backs her up in the corner. CM gets on her back and Bay spins her off. CM leg kicks her and Bay gorilla presses her. CM escapes and hits her from behind. Bay corner splashes her. CM chopblocks her. CM elbow drops the knee. and pulls it with a roll.

Thoughts: I'm sure they edited this one a lot as there were tons of cuts, but I liked what we got. CM worked the knee and Bay overpowered her to win.

Booker T loved the match and says see how easy it was. Booker says CM was relentless like a honey badger. Bloom says CM played her heel role well and says it was easy for Bayley to be the face. CM says she's back and ready to light this thing on fire. Bay's mom hugs her and loves the match. Bay's mom says she's amazing in whatever she does. Bay says her mom is her best friend and they have matching tattoos. 

Bubba talks to Tate Wilder and Nathan Cranton. Bubba wants to see the intent to hurt on NC's face. NC says he's pretty and deadly and needs to show it. Bubba wants Tate's anguish to turn to fire and wants him to start with his fist. Bubba says it's not about the moves, but the emotion you get out of them with the least amount of moves. Bubba says the fans react to motion but will react best to emotion. 

Tate Wilder vs Nathan Cranton

Tate poses on the ropes and NC pulls him down. NC hits mounted forearms and kicks him in the arm. NC misses a corner charge. Tate sunset flips him. Tate backrolls him for 2. NC hits a stun gun and lariats him from behind. NC suplexes him for 2.

Tate hits chops and hits running shots. Tate flying shoulders him.  Tate runs into a back elbow. NC poses on the ropes and is thrown down. Tate top rope moonsaults him and pins him.

Thoughts: It wasn't bad. I didn't quite see tons of fire out of Tate. I guess Nathan's thing with Bayley is now officially canon. The match went well and was fun but I don't know if it did what it was supposed to do.

Bubba asks the wrestlers to rate the match. Nate says it was very good and Bubba agrees. Bubba says Nate should have beaten down Tate more in the beginning and he says they did very well. Tate says he made some strides forward and it was awesome.

Mike Derudder and Harlem Lewis get ready for their match. Lewis says Mike will come up with ideas for moves. Kevin Owens talks to them. He says he wants to see them do it and give feedback on it instead of telling them to do it his way. He says they wouldn't look out of place on NXT. Owens says Harlem to go more into Mike's leg. Mike says it's so great to get advice from people like Owens as he makes him a better wrestler. Lewis says he wants to show Bloom what they have been working on together.

Mike Derudder vs Harlem Lewis

They trade side headlock takeovers. Mike side headlocks him and they butt heads. They shove each other. Mike shoulders him then Lewis lariats him from behind. Mike fights out of the corner and hits a nice dropkick.

Mike springboards into a hard Lewis lariat. Mike hurricanrana's him for 2. Lewis superkicks him in the gut then jackhammers him. Lewis pins him.

Thoughts: It was a stiff one with both guys nailing each other good at times. They had a little too much going on with them doing a hoss match, Mike having to sell his leg and Mike flying around. Mike could have been better here. I wish they just stuck with the hoss stuff as that was going well. Mike's not a good seller and the result wasn't shocking.

Bloom says they had a nice routine but will get a lesser reaction every time they do it. Bloom says the people need to love or hate Mike and it has to be done through selling. Owens complains about Mike's selling. He says Mike has a hard time taking feedback (which you can see on display weekly here). Mike loved the match. Lewis says they beat each other up and had fun.

Overall thoughts: It was the usual show we have been getting with them telling us about the talent, the wrestlers working on their match, the wrestlers doing the match then getting critiqued on the match. It makes sense and if the match is good, it works out a bit better than if it's not. We learned about PC Live events today which is new news. I liked Chantal/Bayley. Tate/Nathan went well. The main had too much going on in it and Mike's usual weaknesses were on display throughout it. This is really more of a documentary than a show and I think they really hammered in the idea here that emotion, not moves, is what they are going for. I liked what we got, but there's just only so much they can do with the limitations (green wrestlers, no ability to do storylines or special matches, short matches and no way to do an actual start to stop wrestling show). This was fine overall.
