WWE LFG Results (Season 2, Episode 4)

Prior to the matches, Flair gave the advice that the competitors need to be authentically themselves in order to win over the audience. She gave the competitors a chance to practice that by having them cut promos to show their personalities.

Haze Jameson stood out for her promo work, as she showed a competence on the mic rarely seen from a wrestler as new to the business as her. BJ Ray’s also stood out, but in a different way. He decided to cut a promo through song, serenading Flair. Flair noted that Ray was entertaining, but she needed to witness his ring work to see if he could back up his talk.

First Match: Shiloh Hill vs. Harlem Lewis

For the first match, Shiloh Hill was slated as the babyface, while Harlem Lewis was the heel. Prior to the match, The Undertaker said he saw the intensity in both athletes. Now, he wanted to see physicality in the ring to match it.

Physicality was the key element presented in this match. The lockup at the beginning was the least physical part of the face-off. Lewis got the upperhand first with a quick bodyslam and pin attempt. He would send Hill to the corner, giving him multiple body shots. Lewis would drag Hill out of the corner with a back body drop.

When Hill stood up, the two traded body shots that led to a double clothesline. As both stood up, they yelled at each other, leading to a series of traded slaps to the face, followed by strong punches. Shiloh gained the momentum for one final time, delivering a strong clothesline into his modified full nelson slam finisher for the win.

The legends wanted to see physicality from Hill and Lewis, and that is what they delivered. The one critique the legends had was the storytelling. Although the physicality was there, it was difficult to discern between the babyface and the heel in the match.

Second Match: Trill London vs. BJ Ray

In match number two, Trill London took the role of the babyface with Ray being the heel. The match began with multiple arm drags by London leading to a drop kick that sent Ray out of the ring. On the outside, Ray would gain the upper hand. During this time, he was yelling up to Flair, asking her to give him a call. Although thoroughly entertained by this, Flair thought he talked too much.

The action returned to the ring with Ray continuing to brutalize London. London tried to gain momentum back with a Lou Thesz press attempt, but Ray caught him and dropped him on the top rope.

He locked London into a sleeper hold, which London reversed with a jawbreaker. He Irish whipped Ray to the ropes, leading to an impressive leapfrog to drag down. London went to the top turnbuckle and missed a corkscrew. Ray rolled him up, held his tights, and won the match.

Although this match was not as physical or clean as the first, the storytelling was better. It was clear that London was the babyface and Ray was the heel. Ray continues to show great improvement in the ring, as noted by The Undertaker. Ray has put his ego aside while in the ring, yet he still thinks highly of himself out of the ring.

As for London, this match showed his high-flying abilities. His athleticism is near the top of this already impressive group of wrestlers.

Third Match: Zena Sterling vs. Tatyanna Dumas

Prior to entering the match, Zena Sterling had doubts about how it would be executed, stating she did not have faith that Tatyanna Dumas knew the match well enough. Sterling came out as the babyface, while Dumas was the heel. After the opening lockup, Dumas would get the upper hand with a headlock leading into a shoulder tackle.

At this point, Dumas’ laces on her boots came loose. Bubba Ray Dudley noted that this was a sign of nerves, as Dumas was so nervous she forgot something as basic as tying her boots.

An Irish whip led to a double clothesline, taking down both wrestlers. From that point on, the match unraveled. Sterling would execute multiple clotheslines, with Dumas slowly getting up each time.

Sterling Irish whipped Dumas into the corner, to which she lazily moved towards. Dumas hung onto the ropes as Sterling climbed the turnbuckle. She awkwardly jumped off, leading to a Dumas back elbow for the win.

It was obvious after the double clothesline that plans had gone wrong. Sterling was frustrated, seeing it as a lack of preparation from Dumas. Dudley believed that Dumas blacked out in the match due to nerves.

Dumas later revealed she suffered an injury during the match that sent her to the emergency room. She also hinted that the injury occurred due to carelessness from Sterling in the ring.

Main Event: Sirena Linton vs. Haze Jameson

Jordan, playing the babyface, was excited for her first match in front of the large crowd at the Performance Center. Sirena Linton, being the heel, had the opportunity to be the “ring general” for the first time.

The match started with a peace offering from Jordan in the form of a handshake. Linton disgustedly looked at her hand, spat in it, and slammed Jordan to the mat, while continually mashing her head into the canvas. After getting to her feet, Jordan hit Linton with multiple arm drags leading into an armbar. Linton broke the submission hold, eventually getting Jordan’s right leg.

The right leg of Jordan was Linton’s focus for the remainder of the match. After multiple kicks at the leg, Linton would put Jordan into a leg lock submission hold. Jordan, with the help of the audience, slowly made her way to the bottom rope to break the hold.

She attempted to stand up, but her leg gave out. As Linton approached, Jordan would go for the surprise roll-up for a nearfall. After multiple back elbows, clotheslines and a cross body by Jordan, Linton went for the roll up and used the ropes for the three count and win.

As someone who first started wrestling only four months prior, Jordan had an impressive outing. Dudley classified it as a good match for her, yet he thought her physicality needed work. He did clarify that it was not due to a lack of work ethic, but instead a lack of experience.

Linton did well dictating the match. This was the second week in a row she was the heel, and her character is showing that it fits well as a heel.

Final Results

For the women, Linton received the point from Flair for Team Booker T. For the men, Flair awarded the point to Hill and Team Undertaker.
