The Don't Flop stage ignited as RS and Shuffle T stepped into the arena for what turned out to be a standout tryout battle. Right from the jump, Shuffle T came with that raw energy and comedic timing, setting a high bar and proving why he's one to watch. His presence alone was a factor, keeping the crowd locked in on every punchline and delivery.
