“I like season 3 because it takes away everything that is a competition between the coaches. It’s about talent,” Booker T told Pak Gazette Digital. “It’s about the talent really competing against itself. Going out and trying to make the step, trying to get to the next level and it’s a matter of sink or swim.
“You either make it or you don’t, and that’s what I love most about this season. It’s really about trimming the fat and only the strong will survive from season 3 onwards.”
Harlem Lewis, Bayley Humphrey, Layla Diggs, Harley Riggins, Tristan Angels, Dorian Van Dux, Jax Presley, PJ Vasa, Keanu Carver, Elija Holyfield, Zena Sterling, Shay Elnahas, Chantel Monroe, Chris Island, Sirena Linton, Jaime Garcia, Masyn Holiday, Braxton Cole, Nikkita Lyons, Drake Morreaux, Kali Armstrong, Tate Wilder, Kendal Grey, Kam Hendrix, Elio LeFleur, Trill London, and Carlee Bright are some of the talent confirmed to appear in season 3.

Booker T expressed that there is no perfect mold that every coach will look for in the wrestlers involved in “WWE LFG”, but everyone does need to understand at least one thing.
“It’s not just one thing that’s going to work. It’s just one thing that’s going to take them to the next level and that’s understanding the psychology of professional wrestling,” he told Pak Gazette Digital. “You can know the moves, know the steps, know the dance, go out and do it, but that doesn’t make you a great professional wrestler.”
Booker T pointed out the main event of WrestleMania 42 between Roman Reigns and CM Punk, which has been considered one of the best WrestleMania matches in WWE history. He described it as the “art of doing nothing” when he recalled a fan asking him about the game.
“It’s about trying to catch these young kids, the moves are cool, but if you can understand the psychology of making the fans feel and maybe make a real tear come out of someone’s eye… I’m sure some kid on Sunday night, a real tear came out of their eye because CM Punk lost.

“That’s something they’ll remember for the rest of their lives, so it’s something that will never go away from wrestling. And that’s something that will always be carried into the main event of professional wrestling. Not on the midcard, not on the small card, but in the main event.”
