WWE LFG 8/30/2026 Season 3, Episode 22

The last show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/09/wwe-lfg-8302026-season-3-episode-21.html

We see Braxton Cole golfing. He says golf helps him reset the mind. He says he is self-taught and says he started getting good. Cole says it's fun to be good at things. He says people think golfers are privileged like with his gimmick and he can back it up with some skill. He says he has the brains and the brawn and now watch his drive.

Matt Bloom, Natalya, Bubba Ray Dudley and Booker T talk. Bloom says they told Lyons last time that she is coming to WWE World and said they need to find 3 more people to go. Nat has Tristan Angels vs Trill London. He says Trill can do it all but needs to not get bored with the fundamentals. Bubba asks if Trill will make it. Bloom says he hopes so but the roster is deep. Booker says Trill knows the moves but needs to know the fundamentals. Bubba says he can do Jeff Hardy's wristlock but not a wristlock. Nat has Layla Diggs vs Kali Armstrong. Booker says they are both talented and it could be something special. Bloom says Bubba has Harlem Lewis vs Braxton Cole. Bloom says Harlem wants to go to Vegas. Bubba says Harlem likes be less hands on and he says he will give him the same room tonight. He says he wants to see if people will react to Cole's book gimmick.  

Trill London says he wants to work on being comfortable in the ring and work on his footing. Tristan Angels says Trill is a great sportsman, but this is his domain in the ring. Nat goes over the match with them. Nat says Tristan has done a lot of shows and is a vet but he's new to the WWE style. Myka Lockwood practices with them and will be involved in the match. Nat says she loves Myka. Myka says she's trying a different role. 

Tristan says he'd love to go to Vegas and wants to show that he can give anyone the best match he had.

Trill London vs Tristan Angels

Trill comes out with a video camera and a mask. He then gives it to the camera man. It's an old and crappy camera. Trill is no longer with WWE.

TA slides out and greets Myka Lockwood. He then walks her to ringside with him. TA waistlocks him. Trill shoulders him over and armdrags him. Trill slides between the legs and flips him by the wrist. Trill dropkicks him out. 

TA goes out, Trill goes out after him and Myka gets in the way. Trill goes past her and TA forearms Trill down. Nat complains about it. Trill is thrown shoulder first into the buckles then his arm is codebreakered.

Trill is dropped either arm or rib first on the top rope. Trill is sent into the buckles arms first and TA throws him over. Booker complains about Trill. TA armlocks him. Trill hits elbows to the gut and throws him over. Trill running back elbows him and basement dropkicks him. 

Trill goes up top and misses a swanton. TA kicks him in the arm. TA suplexes him over the top and goes with him. Myka slides a chair in and Borash calls her "Bayleigh". Trill ends up getting count after TA makes it back in on the 10 count. Nat asks, "What the f*ck was that?". Booker says, "I don't know".

Thoughts: It's hard to judge this neutrally since the coaches were ripping it pretty hard. We'll have to see what the story is with the finish. Trill was a little sloppy earlier and could have shown more emotion from the face but he did sell. It got boring in the second half and wasn't that good with the bad finish. This feels like it could maybe be a worked shoot, but why would you do that and make Trill look bad?

Nat says Tristan did a good job being a leader and says Trill needs a leader to grow. Nat says everything is reps. Nat says she wants to see Trill's face more. Nat says she was confused on the finish. Trill says it was a rep to get better with.

Bloom talks to them. He complains about Trill's selling. Trill says he doesn't know what the future holds for him here. Bloom tells Tristan to sell the course and puts Myka over. Tristan says if he can keeping chipping away, maybe him and Myka can do a mixed tag.

Booker T works with Layla Diggs and Kali Armstrong in the ring. Kali says the ring is no playground and she's exicted to work with Layla. Booker says he wants to make Kali the complete wrestler and says she can go a long way. Booker says Diggs checks off just as many boxes. Diggs says Booker is a genius at the little things. Booker tells them the last match stunk up the joint and they need to get this one.

Kali Armstrong vs Layla Diggs

Kali hits her from behind before her entrance jacket is off. The bel then rings. Diggs sunset flips her for 2. Kali lariats her down. Diggs goes up and over and hits armdrags. Diggs boots her in the corner. Diggs fallaway slams her. 

Kali drops Diggs throat first on the ropes then Kali running lariats her for 2. Kali back elbows her and spinebusters her. Kali chinlocks her. Diggs hits shots to the gut and chops her. Kali goes up and over and hits punches. Diggs ducks a punch, lariats her and leg lariats her. Diggs flips out of a lariat and overhead kicks her for 2.

Kali boots her and Diggs corkscrew kicks her. Diggs top rope moonsaults her for 2. Kali is supposed to duck a side kick but is kicked in the face. Kali powerslams her. Kali flying shoulderblocks her for the pin.

Thoughts:
Kali definitely got rocked a little with the side kick. It wasn't going that bad otherwise but it was obvious something went wrong.

The girls talk to Booker. Booker says Diggs needs to kick higher. Booker says they were on course to having the best match of the night and says good job.

Bloom says it wasn't a bad match but knew something happened. He tells Kali to keep growing. Kali says she'd be stoked to wrestle on Wrestlemania Weekend. 

Bubba talks to Braxton Cole and Harlem Lewis. Bubba says Lewis did good a few weeks ago without tons of help. We see them practice. Lewis says Bubba doesn't get Cole using the book. Bubba says he wants Cole to let people know he's smarter than them and wants him to use the book. Cole says Booker told him not to use the book and be a gimmick wrestler. Bubba says Booker wore a crown and called himself King Booker. Bubba says to go with the book for the heat spot. Lewis says no one else can do what he does and he's close to getting to NXT. Lewis says they are then 30 minutes before the match and don't know what they are doing and it becomes a fiasco. Bubba then tells Cole not to come back if the match is the sh!ts.

Harlem Lewis vs Braxton Cole

We are at the NXT Arena for this.

Lewis takes him down with the waistlock twice. Lewis shoulders him over. Cole rolls him on the mat. Cole shoulders him over. Lewis slams him twice and facekicks him over the top. Lewis double axe handles him off the apron. 

Cole's head is banged off the apron and commentary table. Cole tries to elbow drop going him but misses. Lewis lariats him. Lewis hits a corner spear then hits punches in the corner. Cole takes the top buckle off. Lewis asks the ref to fix it. Cole then hits Lewis with his book. Cole kicks him in the leg then elbow drops the leg.

Cole knee drops the leg. Lewis jumping knees him out of the corner. Lewis hits punches and forearms him down. Lewis does an usual takedown that Bubba complains about. Cole boots Lewis out of the corner and grabs his book. Lewis facekicks him down. Lewis jackhammers him and pins him.

Thoughts:
It was average and could have been better. I think Cole could have used a little more offense here and Lewis could have thrown him around a little with a big comeback. That botched move they did was interesting and could actually be a real move.

Cole says everyone told him he was happy about the match. Bubba liked the match and said they did an excellent job. Bubba talks about the weird move they did but wants to talk to Lewis alone. Bubba asks if he thinks he can do better and tells him to do better. Bubba says he wants him to work on some things. Lewis doesn't know what he means. Bubba tells him to do it in Las Vegas and says it's the closest thing to Wrestlemania for now. Lewis says the wrestlers with him better bring their A-game. Like with Nikkita Lyons, we never got to see Harlem's WWE World match and I'm starting to think they did that on purpose because they will show us it on LFG. Fingers crossed.

Matt Bloom says there's only so many people who can be on the roster. He says they need to make some hard charges and says you aren't impressing, you will get released. He says they released Trill London, Chris Island, Sirena Linton and Carlee Bright. Matt says he has nothing but positive things to say about them. He says they had the passion but weren't growing as fast as they needed them to grow. We then hear some previous taped lines from them.

Thoughts: This segment was something different but it was necessary. Yeah, they could have gone without explaining why people on the show got cut, but at least they addressed it. I ranted about these cuts when they originally happened. Trill really has a lot of potential but you can see his issues with him not always hitting things clean and  the coaches didn't like working with him. Chris Island wasn't liked by the coaches, he never really seemed to figure out who he was and he just wasn't good enough at this stage. Sirena looked like she got better but we saw little of her. Carlee was on Evolve at one point and looked like she was going places, but they stopped using her and she never made it back.

Overall thoughts: I don't know if Trill/Angels was a shoot or a work but it didn't work. Kali/Diggs was going fine until Kali got kicked in the head on accident. Lewis/Cole was average. They then finally addressed the elephant in the room with all of the LFG wrestlers who got fired during the season at the end. There was nothing must see here but the segment with Bloom addressing the cuts was interesting. I wouldn't really recommend this one as the matches weren't that great.
