After the Central and West regions were conquered, it was the time for the East region to shine in 'The Titan Games'. The night was full of gasp-worthy moments, as Army nurse Haley Johnson went head-to-head with monster truck driver Cynthia Gauthier, and defeated her in the two challenges of 'Kick Out' and 'Chain Linked'. The two share a close bond of friendship and their camaraderie and sportsmanship received much cheer from fans. Haley took on gold-medalist Hannah Teter at Mount Olympus, and it was literally, a walk in the park for her. 

But, that wasn't the shocking moment of the night. What left fans baffled was 'country strong' teacher Will Sutton steamrolling his way through 'Lunar Impact' against Kareem Brinson, and then, defeating UFC champion Tyron Woodley at Mount Olympus. Fans couldn't believe their eyes and wondered if the show is even real.

"Dude @TWooodley just got schooled by the school teacher on #Titangames. Don't underestimate us country folk!" A fan wrote. "Tyrone Woodley lost? Is this show real? #TitanGames," another tweeted. "Will freaking Sutton," another wrote. "Victory for Will Sutton! @TWooodley is defeated! Mount Olympus knocked out like a disco clown, but he & @hannahteter will definitely be back for one more rip to the jackpot. #TitanGames#NBCTitanGames @nbctitangames," a fan wrote. "Definitely didn't see that coming... Will Sutton a teacher... took out Tyron Woodley!!! Mount Olympus ain't no jokeee," a fan wrote. "Country strong kicked some a***," another tweeted.

Others are wondering why all the handpicked Titans have been suffering miserable defeats. "#TitanGames @TheRock exactly how did you choose the celebrity titans? Cause they’ve all lost, all except 1." Another similarly noted, "Tyron Woodley also knocked out by “Country Strong” Will Sutton. All the pros have lost now, with only Joe Thomas ever having any firm hold. #TitanGames."

In an exclusive interview to MEA WorldWide, Will Sutton had promised that he would put his city Trenton on the map, and he sure did. He also said, "Probably one of the best athletic experiences I've ever had in my life, just to meet so many awesome people. Go out there and test myself, test my limits to the max and you know, and in the meantime, getting to meet the greatest actor in the world right now, Dwayne Rock Johnson." Will had also asserted that the second season of 'The Titan Games' was the best he had ever seen, because he was in it.
