Draft Night Chaos: McCool Shakes the System
With McCool joining as the newest coach, she was awarded the first picks for both male and female contestants—and she didn’t hold back.
Her first female pick was Penina Tuilaepa, aka P-Nasty. McCool cited P-Nasty’s ruthless energy and standout attitude, saying she was a favorite since last season.
Then came Anthony Luke as her top male pick. That selection caused WWE legend Booker T to explode in frustration—he even stormed off the set mid-show, shouting “bullsh*t!” and leaving viewers wondering whether he’ll return.
Host Alicia Taylor tried to settle tensions, but the energy stayed electric throughout the draft.
What’s New in WWE LFG Season 2?
- Shorter runtime (60 minutes) = tighter, punchier storytelling
- Michelle McCool replaces Mickie James as a full-time coach
- The Undertaker, Booker T, Bubba Ray Dudley return as core mentors
- Focus on mental and physical endurance, pushing talent to the edge
- NXT contract still the ultimate prize
What’s Next?
We still need to see who Booker T, Bubba Ray Dudley, and The Undertaker will draft next. Will Booker T return to finish his selections? Will McCool dominate as the fresh face on the panel?
If the premiere is any indication, WWE LFG Season 2 is going to be a wild ride—and the next breakout NXT Superstar could be just one challenge away.
