01:00Hello, everybody.
01:01What's up?
01:02Obviously, it went so well.
01:04We got to do it again.
01:06Before we get to Season 2,
01:08clearly want to say hello
01:10to our brand new legend.
01:13Michelle McCool,
01:14thank you so much for being a part of this.
01:16Thank you.
01:17I'm so excited to come in as a new coach this season.
01:19You know, up there with Undertaker,
01:21husband, Booker,
01:23family, Bubba Ray,
01:25legend.
01:26It's game on.
01:27Full throttle.
01:28There's going to be an interesting dynamic,
01:31for sure, between Coach McCool
01:33and Coach Undertaker.
01:35A little bit of business here.
01:37Future greats that you guys are going to take under your wing.
01:40We're going to have a couple new faces.
01:44So just like last season,
01:46two members are going to pick up an NXT contract.
01:49But also,
01:51don't forget,
01:53just like last year,
01:55someone is going to be crowned LFG champion.
02:00All right?
02:01Obviously, I want to win.
02:03I want to keep that LFG championship.
02:07We're going to have a draft,
02:08but it's only fair that our newest member, Michelle,
02:13you will get the first pick.
02:16All right?
02:17Of one man and one woman.
02:18Thank you.
02:19Wait, what?
02:20You know what?
02:21BJ Ray would make a great part of your team.
02:25So Michelle McCool, the expansion team in LFG,
02:31comes in and gets the first two picks.
02:34Don't they give Michelle a huge advantage right off the bat?
02:38Why's that?
02:39I mean...
02:40I mean, I'm just keeping it real here.
02:42It's just nepotism, okay?
02:44Let's just put it out there.
02:45All right?
02:46Let's get the elephant out of the room.
02:48I'm thrilled that everybody's as happy as I am about this.
02:50We're just starting, and you're in a bad mood already.
02:54Yeah, yeah.
02:55It's going to start the same way it ended.
02:58Me getting screwed right off the bat.
03:00All right?
03:01It's all good.
03:02Booker always has that mentality at LFG that, you know, the cards are stacked against him.
03:09Booker was super pissed.
03:12And I loved it.
03:20Welcome to the Ultimate Proving Draft.
03:2316 Future Greats.
03:25When they yesterday did a battle, will they mention the evolution from a future?
03:30Four legends.
03:31He is the epitome of WrestleMania!
03:35Aim high, you better aim hard, because I'm gonna do whatever it takes.
03:38Even, get the table!
03:41Can you dig that sucker?
03:44A chance to win an NXT contract.
03:49Every legend has a first chapter.
03:52The future starts now.
03:54It's such a great team of WrestleMania.
03:59LFG!
04:00LFG!
04:01LFG!
04:02LFG!
04:03LFG!
04:04LFG!
04:05LFG!
04:06LFG!
04:07LFG!
04:08LFG!
04:09LFG!
04:10LFG!
04:11LFG!
04:12LFG!
04:13LFG!
04:14LFG!
04:15LFG!
04:16Well, welcome in ringside.
04:17Vic Joseph alongside Jeremy Borash.
04:19Jeremy, are you ready for this?
04:21Season two underway, and it's time to sink or swim.
04:26It's been several weeks since Tyra May steel won LFG.
04:29Now, she prepares for her debut match against an NXT superstar.
04:34I think she's gonna give me a little bit of a climb, but no mountain I can't conquer.
04:38So, I think, uh, the lioness is about to devour.
04:41That's what I think.
04:44Fortunately for Tyra, a WWE legend is there for her.
04:48How do you feel?
04:49I feel good.
04:50You feel ready?
04:51I feel ready.
04:52Yeah?
04:53I'm a little nervous, but I'm always nervous.
04:54Well, if you don't feel nervous, you shouldn't be doing this, right?
04:56Facts.
04:57Yes.
04:58Every match should mean something to you.
04:59Yes.
05:04I wonder what we're gonna see out of the gate here from Tyra May steel.
05:07Obviously, the victory winning season one of LFG with a big confidence boost.
05:11She is going in there with a pound for pound killer, so to speak, in Nikita Elias.
05:18Really just, you know, the hard work now begins, because being on the NXT roster,
05:23being a member of the NXT roster means you need to be at your best every time out,
05:29and you need to really dedicate your life, because that track, that trajectory for you,
05:36you can reach that top, you can get to the top of the mountain for NXT, and then go to Raw,
05:40then go to SmackDown.
05:42You succeed at losing this LFG universe.
05:46There would have been a bundle of energy screaming at the top of their lungs,
05:49if Steel was able to pull off the victory.
05:51She's all the way to the top, looking down, no one there on the high cross body,
05:55and that could be the difference maker here in this matchup.
05:59Lions looking to pounce.
06:01Whoa, nice roll through, cover, count.
06:06Steel got her, Steel got her.
06:09Very impressive.
06:11Here's your winner, Tyra Mae Steele!
06:17That certainly is a momentum-building victory for the newest NXT superstar, Tyra Mae Steele.
06:27I was there for it.
06:33Here, I get the Olympics every single day.
06:37Booze, cheers, chants, all of it!
06:40And I'm here for it!
06:41Yes!
06:43That should have been my spot.
06:45Season two, you're gonna see a lot more aggression and a lot more just less of the ditziness.
06:53I'm just ready to show on the side of Zina that is gonna win this competition.
06:56Tonight, Jasper Troy makes his NXT television debut.
07:02Jasper, Tyra's season one co-winner, is immediately thrown into the deep waters of NXT's roster, where it's every man for himself.
07:14I don't know if Dante Chen is 100% ready for what he's about to face.
07:19Listen, Dante Chen is a young man with a ton of potential.
07:22I think he lacks the killer instinct necessary to make it to the top, but we're about to find out.
07:27You're a big guy, play the big guy role.
07:30All right?
07:31Smash it.
07:32All right?
07:33Do it like it's supposed to be done.
07:34Make him bow down and bend the damn knee.
07:37You feel me?
07:39Here's the winner of season one of LFG, Jasper Troy!
07:48Booker, you were his coach.
07:50What are we about to see?
07:53A man that's looking to change the whole name of the game.
07:57He's that monster.
07:59That's M-O-U-N-S-T-E-R, that monster.
08:04300 pounds of rope and stomping, grave digging, destruction.
08:09Jack, yes, man.
08:12This guy is serious about making a statement in this business.
08:16Booker, and again, it was Troy who told Ava he was going to make an immediate impact, and he certainly did.
08:22And he's already made an impact on LFG going out there and just wasting away the competition the way he did.
08:28But now he's looking to make an even bigger impact here at NXT.
08:32Hoisting up and overpowering.
08:35And whoa, I suppose he's zoomed with the DDT from Dante.
08:40And Troy coming right back here.
08:42Baby, don't do it like that, baby.
08:47And following up with a black pole slam.
08:52Troy dominates in his debut.
08:55Uh-huh.
08:57That's right.
08:58Here's your winner, Jasper Troy.
09:03I'm very impressed, Jasper Troy.
09:05I hope you've enjoyed your five seconds of fame.
09:09Because now that you have the ruler's attention, your five seconds are over.
09:16Well, Ova will see Jasper at some point.
09:20You know, jokingly, I'm going to say, like, oh, it's an honor to, you know, share the ring or even be approached by the champ.
09:32But at the same time, like, this is my competition.
09:34It's two big dogs, and it's my time to eat.
09:37It's cool that Jasper won.
09:39I'm happy for him.
09:40I'm happy that he made his family crown.
09:42But now it's my turn.
09:43It's my time to shine.
09:44There's nobody that can stop me but me.
09:46As Jasper and Tyra begin their NXT careers, a new chapter starts in LFG.
09:52Where the future greats will be split into four teams coached by a WWE legend.
09:57Each week, a legendary coach will be awarded a point if a member of their team is a standout.
10:03The legends are competing for bragging rights and the LFG championship, while the future greats are all competing for an NXT contract.
10:13With the start of a new season, there's a quick reunion with the performance center athletes and the legends.
10:19I'm looking forward to season two of legends and future greats.
10:24What we're going to do now is get each and every one of you in the ring.
10:28We're going to have our legends have an opportunity to see what you bring to the table.
10:35And then we will have the first ever LFG draft.
10:41So if you're ready, let's frickin' go.
10:44All right.
10:47Coming up, an LFG newcomer makes his debut at the ring.
10:50WWE brought Harlem Lewis in to beat ass.
10:53That's exactly what I'm here for.
10:54And later, tempers fly at the LFG draft.
10:57That's some bullshit.
10:58All right.
10:59It's a new season of LFG.
11:02And both new and returning future greats arrive at the performance center.
11:07I don't know if we talked about this in season one at all, but this is pure 100% alligator leather.
11:15An alligator that I jumped on on my own.
11:18Wrong place at the wrong time.
11:20But now I get to show them off.
11:22I think when you look at me, you see a bubbly, happy, smiley blonde girl.
11:28But I'm not anything like the other blondes here.
11:31It's easy to be one of many, but I really want to be one of one.
11:36I'm more confident and I'm just better.
11:39Plain and simple.
11:40I'm just a guy that's comfortable in his own skin.
11:42I love horror.
11:43I love music.
11:44Very artistic.
11:45But, you know, the main thing I love is wrestling.
11:48New future great Trill London is a former NFL defensive back who's following a childhood dream.
11:54You know, I'm here to establish myself.
11:55You know, I don't want nobody's leftovers.
11:56I don't want no scraps.
11:57I want my own.
11:58Hayes Jameson is also known as the wild child.
11:59I just like to have a good time.
12:00My personality is kind of an acquired taste, I would say.
12:01Buckle up because it's going to be a fun ride.
12:04If I'm being honest, I have a little bit of a different approach for season two.
12:08I think I let people walk all over me in season one.
12:11You know, I think I got a little bit complacent with my performance.
12:15And so this season, I have a hope to be on a specific coach's team.
12:20And I think I let people walk all over me in season one.
12:24You know, I think I got a little bit complacent with my performance.
12:29And so this season, I have a hope to be on a specific coach's team.
12:34That coach is Undertaker.
12:36I want to work with him because I think he's most suitable to toughen my skin.
12:39And I think with my size and just my background, that's exactly what I need.
12:43Easy.
12:46Elijah.
12:47Up.
12:48Head up.
12:49Head up.
12:50Don't trick your head.
12:51Yeah, keep going.
12:55The future greats must now step into the ring for the LFG Combine.
12:58This is their opportunity to stand out among their peers.
13:02And show the coaches why they should be the top pick in the LFG draft.
13:07I really would like to get Anthony Luke back on my team.
13:12Somebody said I look like somebody.
13:15I don't see it though.
13:17Do you?
13:19Everybody that I've seen in this business that go out there and try to be the rock.
13:24Not one of them have succeeded.
13:27You got to be you.
13:30Do you think I look like anybody?
13:33It doesn't matter what you think.
13:36All right.
13:37Now we can get serious.
13:38I think I look like Anthony Luke.
13:39That's what I think I look like.
13:41This season, it's either win or bust.
13:44Panina as well to really be able to put my step on these two and really take them to that next level.
13:53I'm sitting back and looking for how serious they're taking it.
13:57Are you laughing?
13:58Are you giggling?
13:59Are you taking these very basic drills seriously from the moment you step in a ring?
14:05Give me some rhythm, man.
14:06I need to see some rhythm.
14:07Come here.
14:08Talking a little bit.
14:09Talking a little bit.
14:10Talking a little bit.
14:11Not over the top.
14:12Just not doing this.
14:13Not doing this.
14:14Not doing this.
14:15Not doing this.
14:16Since Undertaker has the last pick in the draft, it's time for some mind games.
14:18We'll do whatever it takes to ensure that his star pupil is still on the board when he picks.
14:37I can tell you who didn't impress me day one.
14:40Shiloh Hill.
14:42The guy that lost season one by that much.
14:47Shiloh did not have his head in the game at all.
14:50I'm watching Shiloh right now.
14:52I don't know what he's thinking.
14:53Look at Shiloh.
14:54What the f...
14:55What's going on with Shiloh?
14:56I don't know, man.
14:57Sometimes you just wake up on the wrong side of the bed.
15:02You seem to have a little bit of a strategy with Shiloh.
15:06How so?
15:07The hell's got into him.
15:08Slow as .
15:13Shiloh went to the finals.
15:16You know, I don't...
15:18I mean, I know what Shiloh can do.
15:19I don't...
15:20He didn't need to go out there and risk injury.
15:22Like I said, they need to get some rhythm.
15:23They...
15:24They...
15:25Right now, they...
15:26Practicing like they...
15:27Like they would play.
15:28Practice how you play.
15:29That's one of my book-isms.
15:31And it means you have to train.
15:32Like when you go into the fight.
15:34Y'all hear all this f...
15:37Chatter going on.
15:38Yeah, they're too happy.
15:39See what I'm saying?
15:40Yo, guys.
15:41Yo, yo, yo.
15:42Hold on a second.
15:43Hold on a second.
15:44What the f... is all this chatter about?
15:46I'm dead serious now.
15:47I'm serious.
15:48Just the first frickin' day.
15:50And y'all in there acting like this is a frickin' game.
15:53You don't wanna f... win.
15:54Just say you don't wanna win.
15:55You gotta practice like you're gonna play.
15:58If you guys are tattering, that's the way you're gonna get in the ring.
16:01You're gonna get in the ring playing around.
16:03Like it's a game.
16:04I always want to be the best guy in the locker room.
16:07Preparation is the only luck I'm ever gonna have.
16:10Seriously.
16:11So wake up and take this s... serious.
16:15Booker got upset with us because this is our job.
16:18This is how I'm gonna feed my family.
16:19This is how they feed their family.
16:21So we have to take it with the utmost seriousness.
16:23Elijah, come here.
16:24Don't get caught up in all this bull .
16:27Don't get out of .
16:28Trust me.
16:29Absolutely.
16:30Yeah.
16:36This year, I'm here to win it all, man.
16:37Here to take the things I've learned in the first season and apply them here.
16:44You know, this competition doesn't matter who it is.
16:47They all fooled to me and they all gotta get ate.
16:49Elijah is truly a prodigy.
16:52Everything that he does is just explosive.
16:58Right now, I've got my eye on a few people.
17:00Harlem is super aggressive.
17:02You can't teach that.
17:07Of course, Zena's a favorite.
17:09Surprised everybody last year.
17:10I love a good little underdog story, but now she seems to be the one to beat.
17:13Professional wrestling is a unique form of competition.
17:21It's the only sport where two competitors must cooperate with each other and work as a team.
17:27Because if they don't, the results could be catastrophic.
17:33Oh!
17:35Damn.
17:36This is where the mechanics of the hip toss comes in.
17:40And that's why.
17:41Sloppy.
17:42There is no excuse why you cannot do a hip toss.
17:50That was scary.
17:51In the moment, as soon as I left the air, I knew something wasn't right.
17:57It's my fault.
17:58You're good.
17:59You're good.
18:00You're good.
18:01You're good.
18:02Take a breath.
18:03Take a breath.
18:04You're good.
18:05There's a lot of miscommunication.
18:06And I take full responsibility for my fundamentals.
18:11She took accountability for it.
18:12That's all I could ask for.
18:13And it's not like she meant to drop me out of my head.
18:15So what's the point of getting mad?
18:17Maybe I don't look as tough as I am, but it's going to take a lot more than falling
18:22on my head a couple of times to get me to break.
18:30We got to work on that.
18:32We'll work on it.
18:33We'll get there.
18:34Following the combine, the legends meet to discuss who they'll want to see wrestle before
18:40the draft.
18:41Well, kid, it's on you.
18:43Who do you want to see work?
18:44I like Panina.
18:45I think I'd like to see her against Danny.
18:47Panina's come a long way.
18:48She's come a long way.
18:49I'm going to pick Chris Island and Harlem also.
18:51Chris Island and Harlem.
18:52Is that good?
18:53I want to see Harlem.
18:54His aggression was crazy.
18:55He didn't kind of catch mine, too.
18:56All right.
18:57Real talk.
18:58Panina versus Danny.
19:00And then I want to see Harlem versus Chris Island.
19:03Y'all ready to let them know?
19:04Let's do it.
19:05Let's do it.
19:06Let's do it.
19:07All right.
19:08Let's get it.
19:09Let's do it.
19:10And son of the best.
19:11This is Nasty.
19:12The series of LFG Season 2.
19:13Peenasty against Danny Sikulski.
19:14And Chris Island taking on Harlem Ruiz.
19:18My name is Panina Twilapa.
19:23Y'all know me as Pee Nasty.
19:28The reason why they call me Pee Nasty,
19:31I've been standing and squabbling up, getting grimy, tossing girls around.
19:37These other future great wannabes think that they got a chance at the contract.
19:42They out of their damn mind.
19:43Cause they too damn soft and too damn nice.
19:49Ain't nobody as tough and ain't nobody as nasty as Pee Nasty.
19:56And right here, I'm speaking facts.
19:59So if anybody thinks that they got a chance, come get your issue.
20:13Good Nina.
20:18No one, and I mean no one, in this competition has questioned your toughness or your power.
20:26Nina, I was an NFL cheerleader for the Tennessee Titans.
20:30And you are tougher and more intimidating than over half of the NFL players I've met.
20:36The odds have always been stacked against me.
20:43As far as I'm concerned, this LFG competition is wide open.
20:49So Nina, may the best woman walk away with that contract.
20:54The night before the LFG draft, one legendary coach gives Danny Sikulski some last minute advice before her match.
21:03That's the number one thing that I want to see.
21:06It's aggression.
21:07You know, I don't necessarily need, I don't need flips and flopping and all that.
21:13That's not what I do.
21:15I tell stories.
21:17It is completely different.
21:24Mine and Nina's charisma, it's there.
21:27It's undeniable.
21:28The way that we both perform is completely undeniable as well.
21:30But our characters are polar opposites of each other.
21:33And I want people to be taken on the journey of, you know, David and Goliath.
21:36And I think that we can tell that story really well if we execute what we've been given.
21:39Not making it to the finals in season one pissed me the hell off.
21:45And I'm coming back with a vengeance.
21:46I'm coming back with the most attitude that WWE has ever seen.
21:51Danny, I'm sorry, but you're going to feel everything.
21:53That's Danny Sikulski.
21:55I just spoke with her moments before she came out here.
21:57She said, I am sick of being underestimated.
22:00I am going to show what I can do in season two.
22:03And no one is going to get in my way.
22:05Fired up as we kick off things with P. Nasty and Danny Sikulski.
22:11Tom, I'm glad you bring up the fact of season two.
22:14Because I want to ask you this about Danny specifically.
22:17How has she grown over the last few months?
22:20Well, she has come into her own in a confident sort of way.
22:22But she's also done that in the ring as well.
22:24And she said, look out.
22:25Because in season two, she takes no prisoners.
22:28She's not going to be as nice.
22:29You might not see as many smiles on her face.
22:32And she's going to get it done in the ring.
22:33Well, that certainly would go against everything that we have known Danny to be.
22:38But she knows that right now it's not about fun, games, smiles, laughter.
22:42It's about getting the job done.
22:43Heavy hitting and now going to the body with some fierce fists.
22:47Wow.
22:47Look at the ferociousness of P. Nasty.
22:50Look at how she approaches her opponent.
22:51And this is certainly something that we've seen, a growth we've seen since the beginning
22:55of season one now into season two.
22:57I said, what is the biggest difference for you, Penina?
23:00She goes, the biggest difference is season one, I was Penina.
23:03Very friendly.
23:04Very smiley.
23:05Season two, I am P. Nasty.
23:07She says she's done eating Samoan food.
23:10Now she's doing healthy food only.
23:12She is focused in the gym.
23:13She's in there every day.
23:15And this show has inspired a new, well, an inspiration in her life and her career.
23:20When you go back to season one, you talk about Jasper Troy, somebody who came in to season
23:24one, then cut eight, nine, ten percent body fat.
23:26I mean, that is what Shawn Michaels and the rest of the WWE are looking for.
23:31That those athletes that want to take it that next step, not just to be good, but to be
23:36great.
23:37Wow.
23:37You love to see it.
23:38You love to see that physical transformation.
23:40And you also, ow, right down.
23:42You love to see that mental transformation as well.
23:45That growth, that measurable growth in their journey led by their coaches.
23:49Now the question is, where are they going to end up?
23:51Where are they going to end up in the terms of guiding them on this journey into season
23:57two?
23:58Well, the one thing that we can take a look from one to two in terms of season when it
24:01comes to Pee Nasty, she's not looking around.
24:03She's much more, how would you say, confident in what she is doing in the ring.
24:08And right now, Dani in this matchup has shown the ability to up the aggression just a little
24:13bit.
24:14Well, that's, I think, what she has certainly done in terms of her approach going into this
24:19matchup, we saw that earlier, now she's going for it, this is it, Hell's Gate.
24:23Ooh, ooh, ooh.
24:24With this submission, Undertaker, Game of the Madden, season one.
24:28But look at Pee Nasty overpowering the opposition, wow.
24:34Hell's Gate turned in to Pee Nasty's own.
24:39That's certainly, that's certainly one way to break it, right?
24:43And then bam, fouling it up with an exclamation point into the cover.
24:48Pee Nasty picks up the win.
24:52Here's your winner.
24:53Hunnina.
24:54Twila Elba.
24:56Pee Nasty said, I'm going to be main eventing the first episode of season two of LFG.
25:00You can bet I'm going to go out there and I'm going to make a name for myself.
25:04Take note to the legends, where will she end up?
25:09I don't necessarily know if anyone want to argue with Pee Nasty after the results of tonight.
25:15Picking up the victory, starting things off on the right foot, and when it comes to Pee Nasty,
25:22is this the season?
25:27I don't even care about the grittiness, the toughness.
25:30What I showed out there is that Pee Nasty is hella nasty.
25:32I ain't holding back.
25:34I'm not trying to be polite and courteous to each other and to the legends.
25:39Now, it's being unleashed.
25:40I'm the number one prospect.
25:42I feel good coming out of that match.
25:44I do know that getting your hand raised doesn't mean everything in this industry.
25:47I know that I need to fight from underneath with my size.
25:49I completely understand that.
25:51And I also study what we do all the time.
25:53I watch film.
25:54I try to be like the Rey Mysterio of the women's division, where I know I'm smaller,
25:57but I know that going into this, I can put up the same fight as somebody way bigger than me.
26:01I'm going to come in.
26:03I'm going to fight.
26:03I'm going to be tough.
26:04I'm going to be willing to take hits from people.
26:06I'm going to take those hits from people.
26:07And I'm just going to keep, keep, keep bouncing back.
26:10For the main event, Chris Island will battle Harlem Lewis, who's making his LFG debut.
26:24WWE brought Harlem Lewis in to beat ass.
26:27That's exactly what I'm here for.
26:29I bring exactly what is missing, the intensity, the aggression, everything that these people don't have.
26:34These people are here because they want to be on a TV show.
26:35I'm here because I want to wrestle and I want to kick people's ass.
26:37When I walk to the ring, I don't have to turn it on.
26:39I walk around here pissed off and enrage every single day, 24-7.
26:42When I go to the gym, I have that in me already.
26:44I'm not Harlem Lewis in the ring.
26:45I'm Harlem Lewis at every single point of every single day.
26:47That's what I've always been.
26:48It's not going to change now.
26:51I never want to work a nine to five desk job.
26:53I've always wanted to do something physical.
26:55I've always wanted to do something competitive.
26:56It's just like there's a fire in me.
26:58I want to be better than everybody else.
26:59And I've fallen in love with, like, the craft and what it takes to try to just be the best and put on these performances.
27:05If he's going to be this good today, I want to be this good.
27:07You always just got to be on the top of your game at all times.
27:10Should be fun.
27:11Chris is fun to work with, so it should be good with what Peter does.
27:18I have a match with the new Harlem Lewis, brand new to LFG.
27:22And honestly, I feel pretty honored to be trusted with something like that.
27:26And I'm going to do it to the best of my ability.
27:28I mean, he's a killer.
27:29He's looking to take heads.
27:30There's nothing else.
27:31No smile, no play.
27:32I'm still going to come out probably smiling at first, but I'll lose it a little deeper in because we're going to deep waters pretty quick.
27:43In the moments before the match, the LFG veteran tests the rookie's heart.
27:48Getting you, man.
27:49You try to help what you want.
27:50You get back now, huh?
27:51You get back, you're the big dog, right?
27:53I guess.
27:53I guess so.
27:54That's what they say.
27:54We'll see what happens.
27:55I just need to see where he was at.
27:57I need to really see what's inside you, what makes you, what kind of manner you.
28:00I definitely saw that he do got that killer in him, and he's a little off, but I'm a little off, too, and he felt that, too.
28:06So, I don't like that.
28:07I don't like those eyes.
28:09No one likes these eyes.
28:11Technically, he's the vet tonight, and I'm the rookie.
28:12So, I'm just trying to prove myself that I can stand up there with him, that I can surpass him.
28:16Trust in the promise of the promised child, and trust that I can take us where we need to go.
28:21I'm excited for this one.
28:24Chris Island!
28:28Well, this is someone we are very familiar with.
28:30It's someone who we have learned is always game ready.
28:34I'll tell you what, Chris Island has really won me over in the last several months, especially, and I'll say this, after not being successful in season one, and I'll tell you why.
28:43Coming in with a chip on his shoulder, he says, no more Mr. Nice Guy.
28:47That didn't get me very far.
28:49Now he's coming in with a new attitude, a fresh perspective, and I would say not nearly as humble this time around in season two.
28:57We'll touch on that in just a moment, but here comes the man you've already talked about.
29:04And his opponent, Harlem Lewis!
29:15I like this guy right here.
29:16Look at the eyes.
29:17And I don't think it's an understatement.
29:19That is a big individual, and this is a massive opportunity.
29:24And an opportunity for one of our legends to score big with this guy.
29:28I'll tell you what, we're picking and expecting big things from Harlem Lewis.
29:32Four-year boxer, Italian football player, not to the...
29:37Oh, is it football or is it football?
29:40So it's European football.
29:42No, it's American football in Italy.
29:44And Conor Dolphins, 2024, number one linebacker in the history of the team.
29:49That's where we found him, and then subsequently coming here to WWE, the first to jump from Evolve here to LFG.
29:57And we have a first look, Harlem Lewis here in the ring with Chris Island.
30:02Well, you already see that nasty attitude on Harlem Lewis, but this is that attitude of Chris Island that you talked about.
30:09And is it safe to say that not winning fueled his fire here in Season 2, that being Chris Island?
30:16Well, that slap to the face sure fueled the fire of Harlem Lewis early on, and Chris Island really has to back up what he said.
30:23He's coming in with a new attitude.
30:26Oh, look at that.
30:27Look at that right there.
30:28Look at that.
30:28Beautiful work.
30:29LFG action continues right after this.
30:33Welcome back to LFG.
30:34Take another look and just feel.
30:36Bam!
30:38Well, that's the linebacker in the football background.
30:41Team captain, Moorhead State, Kentucky, for a number of years.
30:44Still a record holder, multi-time record holder.
30:46Let's bring it down even more.
30:48I mean, what have you heard about Lewis from some of the coaches?
30:51Smash mouth offense.
30:53No nonsense.
30:54Game player.
30:55Spends a lot of time in the gym.
30:56He does two things.
30:58Wrestle and work out.
30:59Those are his two main concerns in life, his two passions.
31:02And we're going to see how that comes into play, especially with the advice of the legends as it unfolds.
31:07Wow!
31:07Look at this offense.
31:10Using the ropes as a slingshot with that belly to back.
31:14And then right on top, just pouncing and pounding Island into the mat.
31:18I dare say we didn't see anyone as ferocious as Harlem Lewis in season one.
31:23I was just thinking the exact same thing.
31:25Jasper Troy became that sort of vicious athlete in the ring.
31:30Harlem Lewis is coming out day one like a house of fire.
31:34You think Shiloh isn't watching right now?
31:37You think Anthony Luke isn't watching right now?
31:40But more importantly, the legends that are watching.
31:44I was there.
31:45I like this kid at Harlem, man.
31:46I like this kid.
31:47This kid's got a lot of protection.
31:48Wind to the cover.
31:49Hook of the leg.
31:50And a kick out.
31:51And to your point, Harlem Lewis coming from Evolve certainly is evolving in front of our own eyes.
32:00Right here, he goes right back on top of Island, continuing to wear Chris down in the center of the ring.
32:07Well, one thing we've seen from Harlem Lewis thus far is a real intensity.
32:11And that is what he's going to bring to season two of LFG.
32:15And the other thing I want to throw to you is it doesn't seem that the moment is too big.
32:19There were some times in season one with a few of the athletes that they got a little wide-eyed when the lights got bright.
32:26Lewis into the cover.
32:27Hook of the leg.
32:27And a near fall.
32:28He is coming here and has been ready to go from the jump.
32:33Well, Anthony Luke, Drake Moreau take notice.
32:36Guys, there's a new player on the team.
32:39And to be fair, J.B.
32:40A little taken back in this matchup.
32:42I thought Island was going to come in and being able to take advantage of Lewis in terms of the feeling.
32:49The anxiety, the butterflies the size of Eagles, and it has come out the gate was Lewis.
32:54Island has weathered the storm, and now he's throwing some right to the left, going to the body.
32:58Lewis just trying to grab on for near life.
33:00And now Island trying to take over.
33:01And boom, bouncing right back into this match.
33:05Look here, man.
33:05He's a hustle, hustle.
33:06I like that week.
33:08We're seeing an onslaught of offense from Chris Island showing that confidence.
33:11And it is off time.
33:12Whoa.
33:13Really, it's onus scales in the ring.
33:15And is showing that confidence here against Harlan Lewis.
33:19Is that confidence what was missing from season one?
33:21I think it's that experience.
33:23We're seeing that growth.
33:24We're seeing that advancement right before our eyes, courtesy of Coach Bloom and the great staff here at the Portland Center.
33:28Take all.
33:29Wow, not so fast.
33:32Big lariat across the throat.
33:35And just when we thought Island was starting to get some momentum, Harlem Lewis just slammed the door shut.
33:42And Harlem Lewis setting him up.
33:44We know about this.
33:45This is called the move.
33:47Down.
33:49Chris Island feeling the brunt of that, and enough to get the victory for Harlem Lewis.
33:55Here is your winner, Harlem Lewis!
33:59And you get the sense from those here, they are stunned and shocked at what they just witnessed.
34:07Well, take a look at this again, Harlem Lewis.
34:09Bam!
34:10Delivering.
34:12And picking him up.
34:13The boom slag.
34:15Down goes Chris Island.
34:17Harlem Lewis on top for the cover and the win.
34:19Welcome to LFG Season 2.
34:23Putting the other male competitors, the other male future greats on.
34:27I know it's Harlem Lewis, victorious in his LFG debut.
34:35Harlem's first match is a resounding success, and it inspires reflection on his journey so far.
34:41When you called your mom and told her that you were going to be on LFG, what was her reaction?
34:49She was bawling, crying.
34:51Like, she couldn't even get her word out.
34:53She was crying.
34:53Like, my second birthday was a WWE-themed party with, like, big posters of Stone Cold on all the doors and stuff.
35:00And every Royal Rumble, she would make a giant, like, cake.
35:02And she'd print out these little tiny pictures of, like, all the contestants that she knew was going to be in the match.
35:06And put them on little toothpicks and stick them in each part of the cake and cut it.
35:09So you take the piece that you wanted for the, uh, who you wanted to win.
35:13Like, she loves this business.
35:15And I think it's, like, so surreal for her that I'm part of it now.
35:24Damn.
35:25Me and my mom haven't even spoken since Christmas.
35:30We're on really bad terms right now.
35:35But.
35:39Couldn't do it without her.
35:50It's the next morning at the PC.
35:52And now it's time to see which future greats impress the legends enough to be picked first overall in the draft.
35:59Welcome, everyone, to the Season 2 draft of LFG!
36:08Kicking off the picks is going to be the newest member of the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2025.
36:16And new to LFG, Michelle McCool!
36:22After that, we're going to go on to the other legends.
36:28Bubba Ray, you'll come after Michelle McCool.
36:30From then, we'll go to Booker T, followed by Season 1 LFG winner, The Undertaker!
36:38All right, Michelle.
36:39Everybody wants the first pick.
36:40I know my husband was not happy about having the last pick, but then I can feel the fire from every angle, from every one of the other coaches wanting who I'm going to grab.
36:57I saw a lot of things earlier today that I really, really liked.
37:02And this person, I've had my eye on.
37:06I really like what I saw her do earlier, her aggression, her footwork.
37:11And I think she's got that it factor.
37:13With that being said, my first pick of the draft is...
37:23P-Nasty!
37:25Sorry, Booker!
37:33All right, P-Nasty!
37:35P-Nasty!
37:36I'd like to win.
37:37I'd like to win.
37:38We're going to win.
37:39Yes, ma'am!
37:40Oh, I know!
37:41Oh, I know!
37:42Okay!
37:43P-Nina, I've liked her since last season.
37:44I think she's a star.
37:46And that did not make Booker T happy.
37:48This is ridiculous.
37:49Mmm.
37:50This is ridiculous, right?
37:51P-Nina, do you like that?
37:52Well, this is ridiculous, right?
37:53I'd be hot.
37:54What's ridiculous?
37:55I mean, come on.
37:56I'd be hot.
37:57All the damn work I put in Season 1.
37:58Yeah!
37:59All the work.
38:00All the damn work I put in.
38:01I can't help you to have the first pick.
38:02And now you just come in and just pick up where I left off.
38:06No, no, no.
38:07I mean, that ain't just, you know, underhanded as underhanded can be.
38:13And the deal is, I get it.
38:14I get it.
38:15I get it.
38:16I know I got the deck stacked against me.
38:17I get it.
38:18I get it.
38:19It's cool.
38:20It's cool.
38:21Michelle McCool picks someone that I put a lot of work in in Season 1.
38:24And the thing is, I'm sure it didn't happen by accident.
38:27She's playing chess.
38:28She's not playing checkers.
38:30P-Nina, good luck on your future endeavors.
38:32Wow!
38:33Wow!
38:34He got future endeavors?
38:35Wow!
38:36Wow!
38:37Yeah!
38:38I'm in good hands.
38:39Show them, Coach.
38:40We in good hands.
38:41Wow.
38:42I'm okay.
38:43P-Nasty, come on now.
38:44She made the best choice ever.
38:45And I'm gonna make sure she has that big old title around her ways.
38:48Take it straight from her husband.
38:50All right, Michelle.
38:51And now time for your first male pick for Team McCool.
38:55Here's the thing.
38:57I hate losing.
38:58I hate losing more than I like winning.
39:01I know I already ruffled some feathers.
39:03I'm probably gonna ruffle more feathers, but I'm okay with ruffling feathers.
39:08Okay.
39:09And my next pick is a winner.
39:14My first male pick for the draft is...
39:18Anthony Luke.
39:20I love you.
39:21I do love you.
39:22I mean, you damn right he's a winner.
39:23You damn right he's a winner.
39:24All the damn work I put in with him.
39:25That's ridiculous.
39:26First rounder.
39:27That's what I do.
39:28First round.
39:29Anthony Luke's polished.
39:30And that's why I wanted him.
39:31And I'm sorry the feelings got hurt.
39:32But they would have done the same thing to me and not hesitate at one bit.
39:36I can promise you that.
39:37My entire life I've been waiting to get drafted.
39:38Let's go.
39:39Look at this mother .
39:40I mean, you're selling out too, huh?
39:42You're selling out too.
39:43All the damn work I put in with you.
39:44It's all good, but Michelle McCool just won season two LNG.
39:45You know what?
39:46You know what?
39:47You know what?
39:48I know what this is all about.
39:49I get it.
39:50I love my team.
39:51I get it.
39:52Golly, I love y'all.
39:53Just a bunch of bull .
39:54Yes, sir.
39:55I wouldn't stand for that.
39:57No, it's ridiculous.
39:58In the moment, you know what?
39:59You know what?
40:00I'm sorry.
40:01You know what?
40:02I'm sorry.
40:03I'm sorry.
40:04I'm sorry.
40:05I'm sorry.
40:06I'm sorry.
40:07I'm sorry.
40:08I'm sorry.
40:09I'm sorry.
40:10I'm sorry.
40:11I'm sorry.
40:12I'm sorry.
40:13In the moment, I just thought, oh, .
40:18I mean, if anybody can't see what's happening here,
40:20I mean, out of all the talent up here.
40:22What's happening?
40:23What about Shiloh?
40:24What about Holyfield?
40:25You couldn't pick down one of those?
40:26I mean, you looking for a winner.
40:27Of course you're looking for a winner.
40:28All the damn work I put in season one.
40:31I should have won season one.
40:33I should have walked away with the title,
40:35but the deck was stacked against me.
40:37Even then, Nash stacked again.
40:39Look, you know what?
40:40I just want y'all to know that this is some bull .
40:42All right?
40:43That's some bull .
40:44All right?
40:45That's some bull .
40:46All right?
40:47All right?
40:48All right?
40:49What?
