WWE taped several WWE LFG matches and segments on A&E before a live episode of WWE NXT at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida on May 13, 2025. This is what went down:
Zena Sterling defeated Penina Tuilaepa in the opening match. Bubba Ray Dudley and Michelle McCool were watching the action from the crow’s nest.
Harlem Lewis hit the ring to cut the promotion, mentioning his involvement in season 2 of LFG. The segment was interrupted by Anthony Luke, and the two entered a heated exchange, raised their girlfriends and began the match for next week.
Drake Moreu defeated Elijah Hollyfield in the final taping match. The Undertaker and Babareidudrey were also found in crow nests for this reason. After the match, a wild brawl erupted between Drake and Elijah, and security stepped in. Drake attempted to jump from the top rope, but Elijah moved, causing Drake to crash into a security member.
