WWE Tough Enough: Week Nine Elimination

During the ninth episode of WWE Tough Enough, Bill DeMott let the contestants know they were not having a theme this week. Instead this week would be used to fine tune what they had learned over the past ten weeks. After stepping into the ring and showing the trainers what they had learned, the contestants were sent home for the day.

The next day 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin, Trish Stratus, and WWE Superstar The Miz met the contestants at Smash Box Studios. Austin let the contestants know that there were other aspects to becoming a WWE Superstar like media appearances and photo shoots. To see how they would handle a photo shoot, the contestants were photographed for the cover of WWE Magazine. After being photographed the contestants headed over to Mattel Children's Hospital.

The contestants met Austin at Mattel Children's Hospital to see another side of the business. Each contestant took turns visiting a sick child with Austin. After visiting the children, Austin let the contestants know he was proud of them for how they handle themselves and to head back to the gym.

When the contestants arrived back at the gym they were met with a Skills Challenge. This weeks Skills Challenge was a recap from everything the contestants learned during the first ten weeks, from running the ropes to dropping an elbow from the top rope. After the Skills Challenge, Austin let the contestants know that they are not the bottom three, they are the final three.

As the final three, Luke Robinson, Jeremiah Riggs, and Andy Leavine came face to face with 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin. After asking the contestants various questions Austin decided to eliminate Jeremiah Riggs. Riggs was eliminated for being to green. Riggs lacked the experience that the other contestants had and it finally caught up with him. Instead of getting an earful from Austin, Riggs was congratulated for his hard work. With Riggs out of the competition, Austin let the remaining two contestants know that they would be having a five minute match next Monday at Florida Championship Wrestling. The contestant that puts on the best showing would be declared the winner of WWE Tough Enough. Will Andy or Luke be crowned the winner of WWE Tough Enough?
