We see Layla Diggs sewing her own ring gear and Masyn Holiday painting. Both women talk about the pressure of being in the Performance Center as they do.

Coach Matt Bloom meets with Booker T, Kevin Owens and Bubba Ray Dudley. Kevn Owens gets Tate Wilder vs. Romemo Moreno. Bloom says Wilder is moving away from the cowboy gimmick, and that Romeo Moreno is still a work in progress with a lot of wasted movement. Bubba Ray gets Layla Diggs vs. Masyn Holiday. Coach Bloom wants to see Diggs as the heel, and says that both women need to work on their gas tanks and be able to go for longer in the ring. She says that Masyn's offense looks weaker the longer the match goes. Booker T gets Trill London vs. Harlem Lewis. Booker T sees Jeff Hardy in Trill London and that it will just be a part of him, which he feels will not be a bad thing as long as he learns to do the small things. Bloom says that Trill needs to be a student of the game more, and that Harlem Lewis needs to show more intensity.

Kevin Owens meets with Romeo Moreno and Tate Wilder. Both men note that Owens allows for some leeway in their matches, but that comes with pressure. Tate Wilder notes that Romeo Moreno has ten times the experience that he has and that he made sure that their story was being told. Before the match, Tate Wilder is met by his wife and daughter.

Tate Wilder beats Romeo Moreno. Wilder says he is at the beginning of something awesome and is glad to have his family there for him. After the match, Kevin Owens says that both men did well, but their opening lock-up did not feel intense enough, and notes that the set-up for both men's top rope moonsaults were a bit awkward. Coach Matt Bloom notes that Moreno "worked angry" tonight and that he needs to that. He wants to see both men work on their chops, especially when Moreno's first chop was great, and that both men did well tonight.

Bubba Ray Dudley meets with Layla Diggs and Masyn Holiday. Layla says that one of them eventually has to turn on each other, and that she and Bubba Ray are on the same page for what the story calls for. He also wants both women to work on their in-ring endurance so that Masyn is ready for the comeback, and Layla notes that tonight's match will be the night to bring the aggression and unfriendlinesss out. Bubba also brings up the idea of both women coming out for their entrance at the same time, and when the fans find out that they are not teaming up and are facing each other in a one-on-one match, they immediately boo upon coming to the revelation that the match is a singles match.

Layla Diggs beats Masyn Holiday. Upon the beginning of the match, Layla goes full heel on Masyn, much to the delight of Bubba Ray Dudley and the amazement of the fans. Later in the match, Masyna has Layla by the hair, but she cannot pull the trigger, and Layla wins with an inside cradle. After the match, Bubba Ray Dudley says that he loved the match due to the emotion throughout the match. Layla feels like she has unlocked a new character in herself and says that she has layers now. Coach Bloom says he enjoyed the match, and liked the bad side that Layla showed off. He also says that both women looked comfortable in the ring.

Booker T meets with Harlem Lewis and Trill London. Booker T says that Trill checks off a lot of boxes and looks the part, but feels that something is missing. He wants Trill to work on the basic and the little things, and says that if Trill can do that, he can get anywhere. Harlem and Trill also find out that the match will only be five minutes, and that there will be only so much they can do in the match. Before the match, Booker wants Harlem Lewis to be the ring general.

Harlem Lewis beats Trill London. After the match, Booker T says both men did well, but wants Trill to watch his body language and show some more "cat-like precision." Meanwhile, Harlem Lewis wants to be able to wrestle his own match without it being completely thrown out by a producer and forcing him to start from scratch.
