For the second match, Booker T will work with Harley Riggins and Jax Presley, while Kevin Owens will work with Harlem Lewis and Mike DeRudder (who later becomes Dorian Van Dux). Matt Bloom wants to see a tag team match and not four individual matches. Bubba Ray gets to work with Nathan Cranton (who later becomes Tristan Angels), while Booker T gets to work with Drake Morreaux. Bubba Ray says that Morreaux has something, and Matt Bloom says that it is sink or swim time for Morreaux.
We hear from Drake Morreaux, who is happy for his friends to get opportunities but wonders when he will get his, but at the same time, he does not want to be in a situation where he is let go from WWE. We are introduced to Layla Diggs, who talks about her college track and field career as well as her ability to make ring gear as she speaks with Kevin Owens, who tells her to be . Natalya speaks with Carlee Bright, who talks about her cheerleading background prior to WWE. Natalya tells her to be selfish and to keep what her opponents think about her in her mind for her comeback.

Carlee Bright beat Layla Diggs. Natalya says that Carlee is good at selling, and Kevin Owens notes that Carlee is moving around and "not just dying." They both agree that both women did well in the match. After the match, Layla feels she was not as much in the moment as she felt she would be, but Owens feels otherwise as he gives advice on selling throughout the match. Natalya tells Carlee that she felt something different out of her during the match, and that she did well during the comeback.

We are introduced to Harley Riggins and Jax Presley, who talk about their college football backgrounds. Booker T teaches them about having a playbook as a tag team is very important. We also meet Harlem Lewis and Mike DeRudder. Harlem Lewis talks about how he got some experience in Pro Wrestling Noah after the second season of LFG. We also hear from Mike DeRudder, whose father was also a pro wrestler. Harlem notes that he and DeRudder has some chemistry as they speak with Kevin Owens.

Harley Riggins and Jax Presley beat Harlem Lewis and Mike DeRudder. Booker T says that Harley Riggins and Jax Presley know how to make themselves look good, but need to learn how to make their opponents look good. After the match, Harley and Jax disrespect Harlem and DeRudder by sitting on them. Owens admits the match was boring and that he did not have a reason to cheer for them . Booker T tells Harley and Jax that they had "four minutes of heat" amd to handle things in the back in case there is a problem.

Booker T and Bubba Ray Dudley talk with Nathan Cranton, who is a seventh-generation sheep shearer whose grandfather was a big professional wrestling fan. Booker T sees big things in Nathan Cranton. Meanwhile, Bubba Ray tells Drake Morreaux that he believes in him and wants him to succeed, but he cannot wrestle for him. He says that "it has to happen now," and that he has to get over or get out. Matt Bloom says Morreaux has to be "a big, dangerous guy" tonight.

Drake Morreaux beats Nathan Cranton with a choke slam after Cranton is caught using the ropes for leverage on a pinfall attempt by the referee. After the match, Bubba Ray talks with Drake Morreaux, telling him that Shawn Michaels watched his match as intently as possible. Morreaux says he did the best he could, to which Bubba Ray says that Morreaux gave the right answer. The next morning, Drake Morreaux meets with Shawn Michaels, and finds out that his time in the Performance Center has come to an end. He says that while there is not a space for him in NXT, there is a huge opportunity for him in AAA, and that he will be in NXT hopefully sooner rather than later. Bubba Ray Dudley is proud of Drake Morreaux and wishes him the best of luck. Morreaux talks about his time on LFG and is happy to continue to build on what he started in NXT in AAA.
