The WWE NXT tapings on December 19 in Orlando brought a packed evening of wrestling action, with matches for Level Up and the debut of LFG: Legends and Future Greats leaving fans talking. With exciting debuts, hard-fought victories, and some surprises in the audience, here’s what went down.
The Level Up taping kicked things off with two matches. In a six-woman tag team bout, Carlee Bright, Kendall Grey, and Layla Diggs defeated Kali Armstrong, Lainey Reid, and Wendy Choo. Layla sealed the win with a scissor kick to Lainey. Later, Dante Chen dominated a gauntlet match, taking out three opponents—Keanu Carver, Harlem Lewis, and Kale Dixon—using his signature double palm strike to clinch victory.
The spotlight then shifted to LFG: Legends and Future Greats, a new show introduced by Shawn Michaels himself. The Heartbreak Kid hyped the program and presented 10 of the 16 stars set to participate, including talents like BJ Ray and Elijah Holyfield. The rest of the roster was revealed in matches throughout the night.
The first match saw Drake Morreaux, Troy Yearwood, and Zena Sterling secure a win over Jasper Troy, Leigh Laurel, and an unnamed competitor. Zena delivered a tilt-a-whirl slam to pin Leigh for the victory.
In the second bout, Shiloh Hill teamed with an unnamed partner to defeat Anthony Luke and Tyra Mae Steele. Shiloh pinned Anthony for the win while Maxxine Dupri, sitting in the crowd to cheer on Anthony, added an extra layer of intrigue. The chemistry between Dupri and Luke was noticed by many fans, hinting at potential storylines down the road.
With the mix of emerging stars and exciting debuts, both Level Up and LFG showcased WWE’s commitment to building its future roster while keeping fans on the edge of their seats.
