Tatyanna Dumas gets Bubba Ray Dudley. Dana Sekelsky gets Mickie James. Bayley Humphrey gets The Undertaker. Sirena Linton gets Mickie James. Brayden "BJ" Ray gets Bubba Ray Dudley, much to Brayden's delight. Elijah Holyfield gets The Undertaker. Bubba Ray feels Brayden "BJ" Ray has more potential and personality than anyone else here, but he does not like his "shit" attitude. Meanwhile, Elijah looks forward to working with one of the best ever in The Undertaker. The Legends like the teams that they have been given. Afterwards, the Legends give the Future Greats on their teams a few pointers. We get a closer look at Tatyanna Dumas, a former basketball player who previously worked on Australian Gladiators. When Bubba Ray gives Tatyanna an earful about her positioning during a headlock, Tatyanna gets into her own head.
The next day during morning workouts, Bubba Ray Dudley tells Zena that she has a commanding personality and that she needs to get the spotlight to come to her. We also get a closer look at Zena, who has done marathons and ironmans prior to coming to WWE. The Future Greats meet with Shawn Michaels, and eight of them will be in matches today. Brayden tries to get in one of these matches by talking with Bubba Ray and wanting to wrestle first, and Bubba Ray's team has a promo-off to see who Bubba will actually pick, and Bradley is not impressed.
The Legends pick who will be in the four upcoming matches. Tatyanna Dumas is paired up with Leigh Laurel, Jasper Troy is paired up with Chris Island, Shiloh Hill is paired up with Troy Yearwood, and Zena Sterling is paired up with Penina Tuialepa. We get a closer look at Jasper Troy, who credits his baby daughter for becoming a better man. Yearwood and Shiloh mouth off against each other to the point that Shiloh shoves Yearwood, which The Undertaker and Mickie James like. Afterwards, Bubba Ray Dudley tells Brayden that he does not like his attitude or the fact that he as a "perma-smirk" on his face. Booker T and Bubba Ray give Penina and Zena advice before their match.
Zena Sterling beats Penina Tuialepa with a schoolkid pin. Penina mentions that she loves being the heel in her match. Zena admits Penina is a little intimidating, and knows that she has to let loose and do what she has to do. Both Penina and Zena are praised for their personalities, and the Legends want a little more aggressiveness out of Penina. Bubba Ray congratules Zena on a job well done. Performance Center coach Terry Taylor tells Chris Island to let emotion come out of him in the ring. Booker T tells Jasper Troy not to forsake the fans.
Chris Island beats Jasper Troy. Jasper Troy is praised over Chris Island, who is told that he needs to improve so as not to make it look as if anyone is "leading" the match. Undertaker and Mickie James tell Shiloh and Yearwood to bring out the aggression from earlier in their match.
Troy Yearwood beats Shiloh Hill. Both men are praised for their athletics and how they handled the match by The Undertaker, and Booker T tells them both that they need to work on the small things. Bubba Ray commends Shiloh for hitting a clothesline that popped enough to make him stand to attention.
We get a closer look at Leigh Laurel, who made waves in powerlifting and cosplay before entering professional wrestling. Booker T tells Leigh that she is the star in the ring and to have a star presence. Meanwhile, Bubba Ray tells Tatyanna - who is in her first match ever - to wrestle to the best of her ability and not to get into her own head.
Leigh Laurel beats Tatyanna Dumas by reversing an inside cradle with one of her own. Leigh gives Tatyanna Dumas for giving it their all in this match, and Tatyanna feels that she had a great first match, as did The Undertaker, who commends both Leigh and Tatyanna for having a great match, and praises Tatyanna for her confidence in the ring. Mickie praises Leigh for leading Tatyanna through the match. Bully Ray praises Leigh and Tatyanna for getting the crowd to pop for the opening lock-up. Tatyanna realizes the power of correcting her own mistakes, as it is nowhere but up from here.
The Legends pick who stood out to them, with Shawn Michaels acting as the tie-breaker. Jasper and Yearwood get two points apiece from the Legends, and Shawn Michaels picks Troy over Jasper due to his star power. Leigh is picked over Tatyanna despite Tatyanna's best efforts. Team Booker T and Team Mickie James both get one point. Bubba Ray says he knows what he has in Bradley, while Bradley is like "I told you so" to Bubba Ray. Meanwhile, Mickie James is liking her chances of winning, while The Undertaker says that he has to win and that there is no playing for second place with him.
