Let's Go! - LFG recap for March 23, 2025

At the Performance Center, The Undertaker tells Shiloh Hill to show who he really is following the promo at the last episode, and says that he cannot miss any more opportunities, as he has set himself apart from everyone else. He tells Shiloh that the next opportunity is coming soon and that he must seize it. Afterwards, Shawn Michaels meets with the Legends and Future Greats, saying that some Future Greats have yet to get in the ring and that they will do so in front of a crowd.

The Legends meet with their teams. Elijah is about to have his first match in front of a crowd, and he feels he could have the best match with Antony Luke. Meanwhile, Chris Island has yet to wrestle in front of a crowd, and he gets a match with Drake Morreaux. Bayley Humphrey, who also has yet to wrestle in front of a crowd, feels a mix of emotions; she will face Dani Sekelsky in match. Sirena Linton and Penina Tiulaepa are also put in a match. Meanwhile, some of the others have a mixed of emotions, with Shiloh and Tatyanna Dumas wondering why they are not in the ring this week.

Bubba Ray Dudley and The Undertaker meet with their teams and mention their first match in front of big crowds to teach them what they should do. Bubba Ray shows his ECW debut, while The Undertaker shows his Survivor Series 1990 debut. Zena asks Bubba Ray how he got the crowd behind him, and he admits he has no idea. He says to do nothing of what he did, as it will not work for any of them, but at the same time, do all of this. Meanwhile, The Undertaker talks about how he got started in trying to make his gimmick work, and he tells everyone to take in their first walk-out, as they only get one.

Mickie James and Booker T show their first matches in WWE and WCW. Mickie James says she had never been in front of a large crowd before her WWE debut after six years of wrestling just to get to TV, and Booker T says that he was just trying to find himself just two years into his career, and that he was in the moment during the match. Booker T wonders how they will make the most of this moment, and Mickie James says that all they can do is over-prepare. She also says not to compare yourself to other people and to be kind to yourself, as no two careers are the same. She admits that it was exciting but also terrifying, and that she got over her nervousness looked up to make sure the people at the rafters could see her, because if they could she her, the ringside crowd could see her. Dani Sekelsky says that everyone in the Performance Center is blessed, and that she needs to take this all in.

Everyone gets ready for their matches. Bubba Ray Dudley tells Drake Morreaux that they not only need to get a point for the team, but that they have to make sure that Chris Island gets through the match, as well. Chris Island hopes that he gets a reaction. Booker T tell Penina to bring the hammer down when it is time to do so and to let the crowd feel it. Anthony Luke hopes that he can put Elijah Holyfield over as Maxxine Dupri shows up to lend support to him. The Undertaker tells Elijah - whose mother will be in the crowd after not missing a game in his past athletic endeavors - to take it all in. Dani Sekelsky mentions that she has some neck and back issues and hopes to get through the match, while Bayley Humphrey states that while the walk-out to the ring was potentially scary, it was like a switch flipped on when it happened.

Bayley Humphrey beats Dani Sekelsky by submission with a head vice. After the match, The Undertaker congratulates Bayley on having a good first match and getting the facial expressions down-pat. Bayley admits that she had fun in the ring. The Undertaker says that Bayley is unique and different, and that he is proud of her. Bayley says she is glad that The Undertaker is proud of her and that she is made to be in the ring. Mickie James gives Dani props for managing her injuries and lets her know that now is the time to ice up, which she does. Booker T and Mickie James give advice to Penina and Sirena respectively before their match.

Penina Tiulaepa beats Sirena Linton after catching her out of the air for a Samoan Drop, despite a few rough moments in the match. Penina feels the match could have been better, but it is what it is. Booker T warns Penina not to rush and to slow the match down, as does Mickie James, who recommends doing the hurricanrana out of the corner instead of going for a running leap for Sirena.

Drake Morreaux beats Chris Island. After the match, Island is satisfied with his performance, and also gets a pointer from Shawn Michaels: turn his hips during the forearms, which Bubba Ray Dudley agrees with, saying the punches looked good yet the forearms did not. Bubba Ray and Mickie James are happy with Island and Morreaux's performance in the match.

Elijah Holyfield beats Anthony Luke in his debut match with a schoolkid pin. The Undertaker is proud of both men for their performance, saying that the match that they had is what people pay money to see. Elijah meets with his parents backstage, who are very proud of him and his match before they also meet with The Undertaker, who is proud of Elijah's Performance Center progress.





The points are awarded. Booker T gives Elijah the vote for the men despite commanding Anthony Luke for being the ring general in the match, and gives Bayley the vote for the women. The Undertaker also votes for Elijah and Bayley, but also praises Anthony and Dani. Mickie James praises Chris Island for his good first outing, and while she was rooting for Sirena, things got sloppy in her match, and her vote goes to Bayley. Bubba Ray gives his vote to Elijah for the men, and Bayley for the women. This gies Undertaker two points and ties him with Booker T. Team Booker and Team Undertaker are tied with four points apieces, Team Mickie James still has two, and Team Bubba Ray still has yet to get on the board.
