Let's Go! - LFG recap for June 14, 2026

We see Chris Island be the first person to enter the WWE Performance Center to work out at 6:15 in the morning. He talks about his time in NXT and everything that he had to go through to get to this point, as well as being the first one in and the last to leave, and when asked who Chris Island, Chris says "The hardest worker ever known."

Matt Bloom meets with Kevin Owens, Johnny Gargano, and Booker T for this week. Johnny Gargano gets to work with Jaime Garcia - who has a lot of bad habits out of the independent scene - and Chris Island. (Jaime Garcia later gets a name change to Romeo Moreno.) Kevin Owens gets Nathan Cranton and Mike DeRudder. Matt Bloom mentions that DeRudder has a bit of a. Booker T gets Nikkita Lyons - who asked for Booker T this week - and Zena Sterling, who Matt Bloom feels needs a different voice. Booker T tells Matt Bloom to give him 60 minutes.

We hear from Jaime Garcia, who started out in soccer, but ended up becoming a professional wrestler, and instead of learning English, he went to wrestling school. Jaime wants to pick Gargano's brain and ask a lot of questions, due to working with someone who has excelled at something he wants to excel at. Johnny Gargano thinks that Chris Island has something special and wants him to be himself, and also notes that being one's self sometimes gets lost in the shuffle.

Chris Island beats Jaime Garcia. After the match, Chris Island says that the match felt great, and that whatever happens, happens. Jaime Garcia gets some advice from Johnny Gargano on how to fight from underneath. Matt Bloom tells Chris Island that the man he saw out of him is much better than what he saw in the last match, and tells Garcia not to pander for the people before making the cover.

Nathan Cranton and Mike DeRudder look forward to working with each other. Kevin Owens says that Cranton reminds him of Triple H's blueblood gimmick as he helps Cranton out on becoming more vicious and underhanded.

Mike DeRudder beats Nathan Cranton. Kevin Owens says that while both men are great, he did not feel a whole lot of emotion behind their match. Matt Bloom reminds them that they are "a TV company," and that their faces should be seen on camera while across from the hard cam.

Booker T meets with Nikkita Lyons and Zena Sterling. Booker wants Zena not to act like a wrestler, but to be the wrestler, and not to act, but to react. Zena notes how Booker T perceives certain things in wrestling and notes that Booker can give her pointers that Bubba Ray Dudley may not be able to give her, and says that when Booker T put the finishing touches on their match, things made more sense.

Nikkita Lyons beats Zena Sterling. Booker T likes what he sees throughout the match, but says that Zena's punches could have been better. Zena asks about emotion, and Booker T says that her emotion was "damn near spot on." Zena is glad to have done something different in the ring for the first time, then says she feels more confident and that there is nowhere to go but upwards.
