WWE LFG Season 3 continued last night with an episode that worked because it stopped trying to make everyone look good. That has been the biggest improvement with this season. The old team-based format often felt too manufactured. This version feels sharper because the focus is simple: who is improving, who is listening, who is ready, and who still needs more time.
Episode 3 also carried an awkward real-life backdrop. Several names featured this season, including Carlee Bright, Trill London and Sirena Linton, were released before the Season 3 premiere. That makes parts of the show feel strange. WWE is presenting these episodes as a look at the future, while viewers already know some of that future has changed.
Here are the full results
- Trill London def. Braxton Cole
- Layla Diggs & Masyn Holiday def. PJ Vasa & Sirena Linton
- Kam Hendrix def. Tate Wilder
The first two episodes established the new stakes quickly. Episode 1 ended with Kendal Grey being pulled up to NXT after her main event win over PJ Vasa, which immediately made the season feel more meaningful. Episode 2 centered on Drake Morreaux, who beat Nathan Cranton but was told there was no current spot for him in NXT. Instead, Shawn Michaels offered him a chance in AAA. That was a strong reality check. LFG is not just about winning matches. It is about whether WWE sees a lane for you.
Last night’s episode followed that same idea with three matches: Trill London vs. Braxton Cole, PJ Vasa and Sirena Linton vs. Layla Diggs and Masyn Holiday, and Tate Wilder vs. Kam Hendrix in the main event.
Trill London defeated Braxton Cole, but the match did not feel like a real win for him. Bubba Ray Dudley’s biggest criticism was that Trill still leans too heavily into Jeff Hardy comparisons, and the match backed that up. Trill has athletic ability, but the identity is not there yet. The Swanton finish only made the criticism louder. Braxton was not spectacular, but he looked more controlled and more coachable. Trill winning on paper did not erase the bigger issue: he still feels like a performer searching for himself.
Layla Diggs and Masyn Holiday defeated PJ Vasa and Sirena Linton in the cleanest match of the episode. It was short, simple and effective. Layla brought energy, Masyn looked comfortable, and the finish made them feel like an actual team instead of two people thrown together for TV. PJ and Sirena added physicality, but the match belonged to Layla and Masyn because they understood the assignment and did not overcomplicate it.
The main event was the real story. Tate Wilder came out of the episode looking better than anyone. His work with Kevin Owens helped him tighten up his promo, and he seemed to actually absorb the advice instead of just hearing it. That matters. Tate did not look finished, but he looked focused, prepared and easier to invest in.
Kam Hendrix was the concern. The move from Anthony Luke to Kam Hendrix is supposed to give him a bigger, sharper identity, but this episode showed the character is ahead of the performer right now. His promo stumbled, he lost his rhythm, and he never fully got it back. The match with Tate was solid enough, and Kam won with Lights, Kam, Action, but the victory was not the lasting takeaway.
The post-match moment made things worse. Kam tried to continue after the bell, Tate pushed him away, and there was confusion over whether something went wrong. The replay showed Kam tripped over Tate’s foot, but the damage was already done. He looked rattled. Matt Bloom later pulled him into the office and took him off LFG for a few weeks so he could reset. That was the right call. Kam has the look and the tools, but he needs more control, more confidence and a clearer grip on the character before WWE can present him as a serious breakout act.
That was the strength of the episode. It did not pretend a win solved everything. Trill won and still looked exposed. Kam won and still got pulled. Tate lost and came out stronger. Layla and Masyn won because they kept things simple and delivered exactly what the match needed.
Episode 3 was not great from an in-ring standpoint, but it was useful television. It showed that developmental wrestling is not always about the result. Sometimes the person who wins the match creates more questions, and the person who loses proves they are closer to being ready.
WWE LFG Season 3 is better when it leans into that reality. The show does not need forced drama or overproduced competition rules. It works best when the coaches are direct, the talent are exposed, and the audience can see who is actually growing. Last night, Tate Wilder helped himself the most, Layla Diggs and Masyn Holiday took a clean step forward, Trill London remained a question mark, and Kam Hendrix became the biggest project on the board.
I’m the quiet one until the bell rings then I’ve got takes. I live for WWE NXT and TNA, I want every promotion to succeed, and I will absolutely roast the bad decisions on sight (because someone has to). Anime taught me to respect long-term storytelling; wrestling taught me that sometimes the plan is “we panicked” and called it “unpredictable.” The Miz got me into all of this, so yeah I appreciate confidence, commitment, and the art of talking like you’re already the main event. Now I bring that same energy to the page as the main writer for Late Night Crew Wrestling because if you’re not here to be must-see and tell the truth, why are you here?!
