00:00For Jasper Troi and Tyra Mae Steele, everything has led to this moment, where later tonight
00:12the LFG Season 1 winners will clash with NXT superstars for the first time.
00:17You get one chance to make a first impression, right?
00:20Steele will face off against the intimidating Nikita Lyons.
00:24She is going in there with a pound-for-pound killer.
00:28You come out there, you bring the doors.
00:31While Jasper will look to take down NXT veteran Dante Chan.
00:35This guy is serious about making a statement in this business.
00:40The work's just beginning. I'm ready to go.
00:42It's LFG meets NXT in the explosive season premiere of Legends and Future Greats.
00:49LFG! LFG! LFG! LFG!
00:53But first, a new season brings new challenges for the Legends.
01:01Hello, everybody.
01:02What's up?
01:03Hello.
01:04Obviously, it went so well, we've got to do it again.
01:08Before we get to Season 2, clearly want to say hello to our brand new Legend.
01:15Michelle McCool, thank you so much for being a part of this.
01:19I'm so excited to come in as a new coach this season.
01:21You know, up there with Undertaker, husband, Booker, family, Bubba Ray, Legend.
01:28It's game on. Full throttle.
01:31There's going to be an interesting dynamic, for sure, between Coach McCool and Coach Undertaker.
01:38A little bit of business here.
01:40Future greats that you guys are going to take under your wing.
01:43We're going to have a couple new faces.
01:46So just like last season, two members are going to pick up an NXT contract.
01:52But also, don't forget, just like last year, someone is going to be crowned LFG champion.
02:03All right?
02:05Obviously, I want to win.
02:06I want to keep that LFG championship.
02:08We're going to have a draft, but it's only fair that our newest member, Michelle, you will get the first pick.
02:19All right?
02:20Of one man and one woman.
02:23Wait, what?
02:24You know what?
02:25BJ Ray would make a great part of your team.
02:29So Michelle McCool, the expansion team in LFG, comes in and gets the first two picks.
02:39Don't they give Michelle a huge advantage right off the bat?
02:43Why is that?
02:43I mean, I'm just keeping it real here.
02:47It's just nepotism, okay?
02:49Let's just put it out there, all right?
02:51Let's get the elephant out of the room.
02:52I'm thrilled that everybody's as happy as I am about this.
02:55We're just starting, and you're in a bad mood already.
02:59Yeah, yeah.
03:00It's going to start the same way it ended.
03:03Me getting screwed right off the bat.
03:06All right?
03:07It's all good.
03:08Booker always has that mentality at LFG that, you know, the cards are stacked against him.
03:15Booker was super pissed.
03:17And I loved it.
03:25Welcome to the Ultimate Proving Draft.
03:2916 future greats.
03:35Four legends.
03:37He is the epitome of WrestleMania!
03:41Aim high, you better aim hard, because I'm going to do whatever it takes.
03:44Beaver!
03:45Get the camera!
03:47Can you dig that sucker?
03:49A chance to win an NXT contract.
03:52Every legend has a first chapter.
03:58The future starts now.
04:05LFG!
04:06LFG!
04:07LFG!
04:09LFG!
04:10LFG!
04:11LFG!
04:12LFG!
04:13LFG!
04:14LFG!
04:15LFG!
04:16LFG!
04:18LFG!
04:19LFG!
04:20LFG!
04:21LFG!
04:22Well, welcome in ringside.
04:23Vic Joseph alongside Jeremy Borash.
04:26Jeremy, are you ready for this?
04:28Season 2 underway, and it's time to sink or swim.
04:32It's been several weeks since Tyra Mays steal one LFG.
04:36Now, she prepares for her debut match against an NXT superstar.
04:41I think she's going to give me a little bit of a climb, but no mountain I can't conquer.
04:44So, I think the lioness is about to devour her.
04:49That's what I think.
04:49Fortunately for Tyra, a WWE legend is there for her.
04:56How do you feel?
04:57I feel good.
04:58You feel ready?
04:59I feel ready.
04:59Yeah?
05:00I'm a little nervous, but I'm always nervous.
05:01Well, if you don't feel nervous, you shouldn't be doing this, right?
05:03Facts.
05:04Yes.
05:05Every match should mean something to you.
05:07I wonder what we're going to see out of the gate here from Tyra Mays steal.
05:14Obviously, the victory winning Season 1 of LFG with a big confidence boost.
05:19She is going in there with a pound-for-pound killer, so to speak, in Nikita Lyons.
05:26Really just, you know, the hard work now begins, because being on the NXT roster, being a member of the NXT roster means you need to be at your best every time out, and you need to really dedicate your life, because that track, that trajectory for you.
05:43You can reach that top, you can get to the top of the mountain for NXT, and then go to Raw, then go to SmackDown.
05:51You've succeeded in this industry.
05:53LFG universe, there would have been a bundle of energy screaming at the top of their lungs if Steele was able to pull off the victory.
06:00She's all the way to the top, looking down.
06:02No one there on the high cross body, and that could be the difference maker here in this matchup.
06:08Lions looking to pounce.
06:10Trying to, whoa, nice roll through, cover, count, Steele got her, Steele got her.
06:18Very impressive.
06:19Here is your winner, Tyra Mae Steele.
06:26That certainly is a momentum-building victory for the newest NXT superstar, Tyra Mae Steele.
06:40I was there for it.
06:42Here, I get the Olympics every single day.
06:47Booze, cheers, chants, all of it, and I'm here for it.
06:51Yes!
06:53That should have been my spot.
06:56Season two, you're going to see a lot more aggression, and a lot more, just, less of the dittiness.
07:03I'm just ready to show him a side of Xena that is going to win this competition.
07:08Tonight, Jasper Troy makes his NXT television debut.
07:13Jasper, Tyra's season one co-winner, is immediately thrown into the deep waters of NXT's roster, where it's every man for himself.
07:20I don't know if Dante Chen is 100% ready for what he's about to face.
07:30Listen, Dante Chen is a young man with a ton of potential.
07:34I think he lacks the killer instinct necessary to make it to the top, but we're about to find out.
07:39You a big guy, play the big guy role.
07:41All right?
07:42Smash it.
07:43All right?
07:43Do it like it's supposed to be done.
07:45Make him bow down and bend the damn knee.
07:48You feel me?
07:49Here's the winner of season one of LFG, Jasper Troy!
07:59Booker, you were his coach.
08:02What are we about to see?
08:04A man that's looking to change the whole name of the game.
08:09He's that monster.
08:11That's M-O-U-N-S-T-E-R.
08:14That monster.
08:16300 pounds.
08:17A romping, stomping, grave digging, destruction.
08:21Jack, yes, man.
08:23This guy is serious about making a statement in this business.
08:28Booker, and again, it was Troy who told Ava he was going to make an immediate impact.
08:32And he certainly did.
08:34And he's already made an impact on LFG going out there and just wasting away the competition
08:39the way he did, but now he's looking to make an even bigger impact here at NXT.
08:44Hoisting up and overpowering, and whoa, I thought it was too soon with DDT from Dante.
08:53And Troy coming right back.
08:55Baby, don't do it like that, baby.
09:00And following up with a black hole slam, Troy dominates in his debut.
09:08Uh-huh.
09:08That's right.
09:11Here's your winner, Jasper Troy.
09:17I'm very impressed, Jasper Troy.
09:19I hope you've enjoyed your five seconds of fame.
09:22Because now that you have the ruler's attention, your five seconds are over.
09:30Well, Ava will see Jasper at some point.
09:38You know, jokingly, I'm going to say, like, oh, it's an honor to, you know, share the ring
09:45or even be approached by the champ, but at the same time, like, this is my competition.
09:48It's two big dogs, and it's my time to eat.
09:52It's cool that Jasper won.
09:53I'm happy for him.
09:54I'm happy that he made his family crown, but now it's my turn.
09:57It's my time to shine.
09:58There's nobody that can stop me but me.
10:01As Jasper and Tyra begin their NXT careers, a new chapter starts in LFG, where the future
10:08greats will be split into four teams coached by a WWE legend.
10:13Each week, a legendary coach will be awarded a point if a member of their team is a standout.
10:17The legends are competing for bragging rights and the LFG championship, while the future
10:23greats are all competing for an NXT contract.
10:26With the start of a new season, there's a quick reunion with the Performance Center athletes
10:32and the legends.
10:33I'm looking forward to season two of Legends and Future Greats.
10:38What we're going to do now is get each and every one of you in the ring.
10:43We're going to have our legends have an opportunity to see what you bring to the table, and then
10:51we will have the first ever LFG draft.
10:55So if you're ready, let's frickin' go.
11:02All right?
11:04It's a new season of LFG, and both new and returning future greats arrive at the Performance Center.
11:10I don't know if we talked about this in season one at all, but this is pure 100% alligator
11:19leather, an alligator that I jumped on on my own, the wrong place at the wrong time, but
11:25now I get to show them off.
11:27I think when you look at me, you see a bubbly, happy, smiley blonde girl, but I'm not anything
11:34like the other blondes here.
11:36It's easy to be one of many, but I really want to be one of one.
11:41I'm more confident, and I'm just better.
11:48Plain and simple.
11:49I'm just a guy that's comfortable in his own skin.
11:52I love horror.
11:53I love music.
11:54Very artistic, but, you know, the main thing I love is wrestling.
11:58New future great Trill London is a former NFL defensive back who's following a childhood dream.
12:05You know, I'm here to establish myself.
12:06You know, I don't want nobody's leftovers.
12:08I don't want no scraps.
12:09I want my own.
12:11Hayes Jameson is also known as the wild child.
12:14I just like to have a good time.
12:16My personality is kind of an acquired taste, I would say.
12:20Buckle up, because it's going to be a fun ride.
12:23If I'm being honest, I have a little bit of a different approach for season two.
12:28I think I let people walk all over me in season one.
12:32You know, I think I got a little bit complacent with my performance.
12:35And so this season, I have a hope to be on a specific coach's team.
12:40That coach is Undertaker.
12:42I want to work with him because I think he's most suitable to toughen my skin.
12:45And I think with my size and just my background, that's exactly what I need.
12:50Easy.
12:53Elijah.
12:54Up, head up.
12:55Head up.
12:56Don't trick your head.
12:58Yeah, keep going.
12:59The future greats must now step into the ring for the LFG Combine.
13:06This is their opportunity to stand out among their peers
13:09and show the coaches why they should be the top pick in the LFG draft.
13:14I really would like to get Anthony Luke back on my team.
13:18Somebody said I look like somebody.
13:23I don't see it though.
13:25Do you?
13:27Everybody that I've seen in this business that go out there and try to be the rock,
13:33not one of them have succeeded.
13:36You got to be you.
13:38Do you think I look like anybody?
13:41It doesn't matter what you think.
13:45All right, now we can get serious.
13:46I think I look like Anthony Luke.
13:48That's what I think I look like.
13:50This season, it's either win or bust.
13:54Benina, as well, to really be able to put my stamp on these two and really take them to that next level.
14:02I'm sitting back and looking for how serious they're taking it.
14:07Are you laughing? Are you giggling?
14:09Or are you taking these very basic drills seriously from the moment you step in a ring?
14:16Yeah, that's exactly what I'm saying.
14:18Give me some rhythm, man. I need you to see some rhythm.
14:23Come here.
14:25Talking a little bit.
14:27Talking a little bit.
14:28Talking a little bit.
14:30Not over the top. Just...
14:32Not your ass.
14:33Since Undertaker has the last pick in the draft, it's time for some mind games.
14:40We'll do whatever it takes to ensure that his star pupil is still on the board when he picks.
14:46I can tell you who didn't impress me day one.
14:50Shiloh Hill.
14:52The guy that lost season one by that much.
14:57Shiloh did not have his head in the game at all.
14:59Come on to Shiloh right now.
15:01I don't know what he's thinking.
15:03Look at Shiloh. What the... What's going on with Shiloh?
15:06I don't know, man. Sometimes you just wake up on the wrong side of the bed.
15:12You seem to have a little bit of a strategy with Shiloh.
15:14How so?
15:17The hell's got into him.
15:22Slow as .
15:25Shiloh went to the finals.
15:27You know, I don't... I mean, I know what Shiloh can do.
15:30He didn't need to go out there and risk injury.
15:33Like I said, they need to get some rhythm, man.
15:35Right now, they practicing like they would play.
15:39Practice how you play. That's one of my book-isms.
15:41And it means you have to train like when you go into the fight.
15:46Y'all hear all this f***ing chatter going on.
15:49Yeah, they're too happy. See what I'm saying?
15:51Yo, guys. Hold on a second. Hold on a second.
15:54What the f*** is all this chatter about?
15:57I'm dead serious now. I'm serious.
16:00Just the first frickin' day.
16:02And y'all are acting like this is a frickin' game.
16:04You don't wanna f***in' win. Just say you don't wanna win.
16:07You gotta practice like you're gonna play.
16:09If you guys are tatterin', that's the way you're gonna get in the ring.
16:13You're gonna get in the ring playing around. Like it's a game.
16:16I always want to be the best guy in the locker room.
16:19Preparation is the only luck I'm ever gonna have.
16:22Seriously.
16:24So wake up and take this s*** serious.
16:26Booker got upset with us because this is our job.
16:30This is how I'm gonna feed my family. This is how they feed their family.
16:33So we have to take it with the utmost answers.
16:35Olivia, come here.
16:37Don't get caught up in all this bulls***.
16:39Kellogg, you had a f***.
16:41Trust me.
16:42Absolutely.
16:48This year I'm here to win it all, man.
16:50Here to take the things I've learned in the first season and apply them here.
16:57You know, this competition doesn't matter who it is.
17:00They all fooled to me and they all gotta get ate.
17:02Elijah is truly a prodigy.
17:05Everything that he does is just explosive.
17:11Right now, I've got my eye on a few people.
17:13Harlem is super aggressive.
17:15You can't teach that.
17:20Of course, Xena's a favorite.
17:22Surprised everybody last year.
17:23I love a good little underdog story, but now she seems to be the one to beat.
17:27Come on.
17:28Yep.
17:31Professional wrestling is a unique form of competition.
17:35It's the only sport where two competitors must cooperate with each other and work as a team.
17:41Because if they don't, the results could be catastrophic.
17:48Oh!
17:50This is where the mechanics of the hip toss comes in.
17:54And that's why.
17:55Sloppy.
17:56There is no excuse why you cannot do a hip toss.
18:03That was scary.
18:06In the moment, as soon as I left the air, I knew something wasn't right.
18:10It's my fault.
18:12You're good.
18:14You're good.
18:15I think there was just a lot of miscommunication and I take full responsibility for my fundamentals.
18:25She took accountability for it.
18:27That's all I could ask for.
18:28And it's not like she meant to drop me out of my head.
18:30So what's the point of getting mad?
18:32Maybe I don't look as tough as I am, but it's going to take a lot more than falling on my head a couple times to get me to break.
18:38Oh, my God!
18:42Oh!
18:44Oh, .
18:45We got to work on that.
18:47We'll work on it.
18:48We'll get there.
18:49We'll get there.
18:51Following the combine, the legends meet to discuss who they'll want to see wrestle before the draft.
18:57Well, kid, it's on you.
18:58Who do you want to see work?
18:59I like Panina.
19:01I think I'd like to see her against Danny.
19:02Panina's come a long way.
19:03She's come a long way.
19:04I'm going to pick Chris Island and Harlem also.
19:06Chris Island and Harlem.
19:07Is that good?
19:08I want to see Harlem.
19:09His aggression was crazy.
19:10He didn't kind of catch my eye, too.
19:12All right, real talk.
19:13Panina versus Danny.
19:16And then I want to see Harlem versus Chris Island.
19:19Y'all ready to let them know?
19:20Let's do it.
19:21Let's do it.
19:22All right, let's get it.
19:27My name is Panina Twilapa.
19:30Y'all know me as PNasty.
19:35The reason why they call me PNasty, I've been standing and squabbling up, getting grimy, tossing girls around.
19:44These other future great wannabes think that they got a chance at the contract.
19:49They out of their damn mind.
19:52Cause they too damn soft and too damn nice.
19:56Ain't nobody as tough and ain't nobody as nasty as PNasty.
20:04And right here, I'm spitting facts.
20:06So if anybody thinks that they got a chance, come get your issue.
20:11Good Nina.
20:24No one, and I mean no one in this competition has questioned your toughness or your power.
20:33Nina, I was an NFL cheerleader for the Tennessee Titans.
20:38And you are tougher and more intimidating than over half of the NFL players I've met.
20:45The odds have always been stacked against me.
20:49As far as I'm concerned, this LFG competition is wide open.
20:58So Nina, may the best woman walk away with that contract.
21:03The night before the LFG draft, one legendary coach gives Danny Sikulski some last minute advice before her match.
21:12That's the one, number one thing that I want to see.
21:15Is aggression.
21:17You know, I don't, I don't necessarily need, I don't need flips and flopping and all that.
21:23That's not what I do.
21:24You know, I tell stories.
21:27Okay.
21:28I love it.
21:33It is completely different.
21:34Mine and Nina's charisma, it's there.
21:36It's undeniable.
21:37The way that we both perform is completely undeniable as well.
21:40But our characters are polar opposites of each other.
21:43And I want people to be taken on the journey of, you know, David and Goliath.
21:46And I think that we can tell that story really well if we execute what we've been given.
21:49Not making it to the finals in season one pissed me the hell off.
21:54And I'm coming back with a vengeance.
21:56I'm coming back with the most attitude that WWE has ever seen.
22:01Danny, I'm sorry, but you're going to feel everything.
22:04That's Danny Sikulski.
22:05I just spoke with her moments before she came out here.
22:07She said, I am sick of being underestimated.
22:10I am going to show what I can do in season two.
22:14And no one is going to get in my way.
22:16Get fired up as we kick off things with P Nasty and Danny Sikulski.
22:22Well, I'm glad you bring up the fact of season two.
22:25Because I want to ask you this about Danny specifically.
22:27How has she grown over the last few months?
22:30Well, she has come into our own in a confidence sort of way.
22:33But she's also done that in the ring as well.
22:35And she said look out because in season two she takes no prisoners.
22:38She's not going to be as nice.
22:40You might not see as many smiles on her face.
22:42And she's going to get it done in the ring.
22:44Well, that certainly would go against everything that we have known Danny to be.
22:49But she knows that right now it's not about fun, games, smiles, laughter.
22:53It's about getting the job done.
22:55Heavy hitting and now going to the body with some fierce fists.
22:58Wow, look at the ferociousness of P Nasty.
23:01Look at how she approaches her opponent.
23:03And this is certainly something that we've seen.
23:05A growth we've seen since the beginning of season one now into season two.
23:08I said what is the biggest difference for you, Penina?
23:11She goes the biggest difference is season one I was Penina.
23:15Very friendly.
23:16Very smiley.
23:17Season two I am P Nasty.
23:19She says she's done eating Samoan food.
23:21Now she's doing healthy food only.
23:23She is focused in the gym.
23:25She's in there every day.
23:26And this show has inspired a new, wow, an inspiration in her life and her career.
23:32Before you go back to season one, you talk about Jasper Troy.
23:34Somebody who came in to season one, then cut eight, nine, ten percent body fat.
23:38I mean that is what Shawn Michaels and the rest of the WWE are looking for.
23:43That those athletes that want to take it that next step, not just to be good, but to be great.
23:49Wow, you love to see it.
23:51You love to see that physical transformation.
23:53And you also, ow, right down.
23:55You love to see that mental transformation as well.
23:58That growth, that measurable growth in their journey led by their coaches.
24:02Now the question is, where are they going to end up?
24:05Where are they going to end up in the terms of guiding them on this journey into season two?
24:11Well, the one thing that we can take a look from one to two in terms of season when it comes to P Nasty.
24:15She's not looking around.
24:16She's much more, how would you say, confident in what she is doing in the ring.
24:21And right now, Danny in this matchup has shown the ability to up the aggression just a little bit.
24:27Well, that's I think what she has certainly done in terms of her approach going into this matchup.
24:33We saw that earlier.
24:34Oh, now she's going for it.
24:35This is it.
24:36Hell's gate.
24:37Oh, oh, oh.
24:38With this submission, Undertaker gave her the mat in season one.
24:42But look at P Nasty overpowering the opposition.
24:47Wow.
24:48Hell's gate turned into P Nasty Zoe.
24:54That's certainly one way to break it, right?
24:57And then bam, following it up with an exclamation point into the cover.
25:02P Nasty picks up the win.
25:04Here's your winner.
25:05Tue La Elba.
25:06P Nasty said, I'm going to be main eventing the first episode of season two of LFG.
25:15You can bet I'm going to go out there and I'm going to make a name for myself.
25:19Take note to the legends.
25:21Where will she end up?
25:23I don't necessarily know if anyone want to argue with P Nasty after the results of tonight.
25:30Picking up the victory, starting things off on the right foot.
25:34And when it comes to P Nasty, is this the season?
25:39I don't even care about the grittiness, the toughness.
25:45What I showed out there is that P Nasty is hella nasty.
25:48I ain't holding back.
25:49I'm not trying to be polite and courteous to each other and to the legends.
25:54Now it's being unleashed.
25:56I'm the number one prospect.
25:57I feel good coming out of that match.
25:59I do know that getting your hand raised doesn't mean everything in this industry.
26:03I know that I need to fight from underneath with my size.
26:05I completely understand that.
26:06And I also study what we do all the time.
26:08I watch film.
26:09I try to be like the Rey Mysterio of the women's division where I know I'm smaller,
26:13but I know that going into this, I can put up the same fight as somebody way bigger than me.
26:18I'm going to come in.
26:19I'm going to fight.
26:20I'm going to be tough.
26:21I'm going to be willing to take hits from people.
26:22I'm going to take those hits from people.
26:24And I'm just going to keep, keep, keep bouncing back.
26:37For the main event, Chris Island will battle Harlan Lewis,
26:40who's making his LFG debut.
26:42WWE brought Harlan Lewis in to feed ass.
26:47That's exactly what I'm here for.
26:48I bring exactly what is missing.
26:50The intensity, the aggression, everything that these people don't have.
26:53These people are here because they want to be on a TV show.
26:55I'm here because I want to wrestle and I want to kick people's ass.
26:57When I walk to the ring, I don't have to turn it on.
26:59I walk around here pissed off and enrage every single day 24-7.
27:02When I go to the gym, I have that in me already.
27:04I'm not Harlan Lewis in the ring.
27:05I'm Harlan Lewis at every single point of every single day.
27:07That's what I've always been.
27:08It's not going to change now.
27:09I never want to work a nine to five desk job.
27:13I've always wanted to do something physical.
27:15I've always wanted to do something competitive.
27:17It's just like there's a fire in me.
27:18I want to be better than everybody else.
27:19And 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.
27:25If he's going to be this good today, I want to be this good.
27:27You always just got to be on the top of your game at all times.
27:30It should be fun.
27:31Chris is fun to work with, so it should be good with what Peter does.
27:34I have a match with the new Harlan Lewis, brand new to LFG.
27:42And honestly, I feel pretty honored to be trusted with something like that.
27:46And I'm going to do it to the best of my ability.
27:49I mean, he's a killer.
27:50He's looking to take heads and nothing else.
27:52No smile, no play.
27:53I'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.
28:01In the moments before the match, the LFG veteran tests the rookie's heart.
28:10You try to help all you want.
28:12You get back now, huh?
28:13You get back.
28:14You're the big dog, right?
28:15I guess so.
28:16That's what they said.
28:17We'll see what happens.
28:18I just needed to see where he was at.
28:19I need to really see what's inside you, what makes you, what kind of man are you.
28:22I 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.
28:28So, I don't like that.
28:29I don't like those eyes.
28:30No one likes these eyes.
28:31Technically, he's the vet tonight, and I'm the rookie.
28:34So, I'm just trying to prove myself that I can stand up there with him, that I can surpass him.
28:37Trust in the promise of the promised child, and trust that I can take us where we need to go.
28:43I'm excited for this one.
28:46Chris Ireland!
28:50Well, this is someone we are very familiar with.
28:52It's someone who we have learned is always game ready.
28:57I'll tell you what.
28:58Chris Ireland has really won me over in the last several months, especially, and I'll say this.
29:02After not being successful in season one, and I'll tell you why.
29:06Coming in with a chip on his shoulder, he says, no more Mr. Nice Guy.
29:10That didn't get me very far.
29:12Now 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.
29:22We'll touch on that in just a moment, but here comes the man you've already talked about.
29:32And his opponent, Harlem Lewis!
29:37I like this guy right here.
29:39Look at the eyes.
29:40And I don't think it's an understatement.
29:42That is a big individual, and this is a massive opportunity.
29:46And an opportunity for one of our legends to score big with this guy.
29:51I'll tell you what, we're picking and expecting big things from Harlem Lewis.
29:56Four-year boxer, Italian football player.
29:59Not to the, I don't know what I'm going to say.
30:02Oh, is it football or is it football?
30:04So it's European football.
30:05No, it's American football.
30:06Got it.
30:07In Italy.
30:08And Tana Dolphins, 20-24 number one linebacker in the history of the team.
30:13That's where we found him.
30:15And then subsequently coming here to WWE, the first to jump from Evolve here to LFG.
30:21And we have a first look.
30:24Harlem Lewis here in the ring with Chris Island.
30:27Well, you already see that nasty attitude on Harlem Lewis.
30:30But this is that attitude of Chris Island that you talked about.
30:33And is it safe to say that not winning fueled his fire here in season two?
30:38That being Chris Island.
30:40Well, that slap to the face sure fueled the fire of Harlem Lewis early on.
30:44And Chris Island really has to back up what he said.
30:47He's coming in with a new attitude.
30:51Oh, look at that. Look at that right there. Look at that.
30:53Beautiful work.
30:57Take another look and just feel. Bam!
31:01Well, that force the linebacker, the football background.
31:04Team captain, Moorhead State, Kentucky for a number of years.
31:07Still a record holder, multi-time record holder.
31:10Let's break it down even more.
31:11I mean, what have you heard about Lewis from some of the coaches?
31:15Smash mouth offense. No nonsense.
31:17Game player. Spends a lot of time in the gym.
31:20He does two things.
31:21Wrestle and workout.
31:22Those are his two main concerns in life, his two passions.
31:25And we're going to see how that comes into play, especially with the advice of the legends as it unfolds.
31:31Wow!
31:32Look at this offense.
31:34Using the ropes as a slingshot with that belly to back.
31:38And then right on top, just pouncing and pounding Island into the mat.
31:43I dare say we didn't see anyone as ferocious as Harlem Lewis in season one.
31:47I was just thinking the exact same thing.
31:49Jasper Troy became that sort of vicious athlete in the ring.
31:54Harlem Lewis is coming out day one like a house of fire.
31:59You think Shiloh isn't watching right now?
32:01You think Anthony Luke isn't watching right now?
32:04But more importantly, the legends that are watching.
32:08Boom!
32:09I was there.
32:10I like this kid at Harlem, man.
32:11I like this kid.
32:12This kid's got a lot of protection.
32:13Wind to the cover, hook of the leg, and a kick out.
32:16To your point, Harlem Lewis coming from Evolve certainly is evolving in front of our own eyes.
32:25Right here he goes right back on top of Island, continuing to wear Chris down in the center of the ring.
32:32Well, one thing we've seen from Harlem Lewis thus far is a real intensity.
32:37And that is what he's going to bring to season two of LFG.
32:40And the other thing I want to throw to you is it doesn't seem that the moment is too big.
32:45There were some times in season one with a few of the athletes that they got a little wide-eyed when the lights got bright.
32:52Lewis into the cover, hook of the leg, and a near fall.
32:54He is coming here and has been ready to go from the jump.
32:59Well, Anthony Luke, Drake Moreau take notice.
33:02Guys, there's a new player on the team.
33:04And to be fair, JB, I'm a little taken back in this matchup.
33:08I thought Island was going to come in and being able to take advantage of Lewis in terms of the feeling, the anxiety, the butterflies the size of Eagles.
33:17And it has come out the gate was Lewis.
33:20Island has weathered the storm.
33:21And now he's throwing some right to the left, going to the body.
33:24Lewis just trying to grab on for dear life.
33:26And now Island trying to take over.
33:28And boom!
33:29Pouncing right back into this match.
33:31Look here, man.
33:32Yeah, hustle, hustle.
33:33I like that.
33:34We're seeing an onslaught of offense from Chris Island showing that confidence.
33:38And it is off time.
33:39Whoa!
33:40Oh, this scales in the ring.
33:42And is showing that confidence here against Harlan Lewis.
33:46Is that confidence what was missing from season one?
33:49I think it's that experience.
33:50We're seeing that growth.
33:51We're seeing that advancement right before our eyes, courtesy of Coach Bloom and the great staff here at the Portland Center.
33:55Take, oh wow.
33:57Not so fast.
33:59Boom!
34:00Big lariat across the throat.
34:02And just when we thought Island was starting to get some momentum, Harlan Lewis just slammed the door shut.
34:10And Harlan Lewis setting him up.
34:12We know about this.
34:13This is called the move.
34:15Locked down.
34:17Chris Island feeling the brunt of that.
34:19And enough to get the victory for Harlan Lewis.
34:23Here is your winner, Harlan Lewis!
34:28And you get the sense from those here.
34:32They are stunned and shocked at what they just witnessed.
34:35Well, take a look at this again.
34:37Harlan Lewis.
34:38Bam!
34:39Delivering.
34:40And picking him up.
34:42The boom slag.
34:43Down goes Chris Island.
34:45Harlan Lewis on top for the cover and the win.
34:48Welcome to LFG Season 2.
34:51Putting the other male competitors, the other male future greats on.
34:56Noah's Harlem Lewis.
34:58Victorious in his LFG debut.
35:04Harlem's first match is a resounding success.
35:07And it inspires reflection on his journey so far.
35:15When you called your mom and told her that you're going to be an LFG, what was her reaction?
35:18She was bawling, crying.
35:20Like, she couldn't even get a word out.
35:22She was crying.
35:23Like, my second birthday was a WWE themed party with, like, big posters of Stone Cold on all the doors and stuff.
35:29And every Royal Rumble, she would make a giant, like, cake.
35:32And she'd print out these little tiny pictures of, like, all the contestants that she knew was gonna be in the match.
35:36And put them on little toothpicks and stick them in each part of the cake and cut it.
35:39So you take the piece that you wanted for who you wanted to win.
35:42Like, she loves this business.
35:44And I think it's, like, so surreal for her that I'm part of it now.
35:47Damn.
35:58Me and my mom haven't even spoken since Christmas.
36:00We're on really bad terms right now.
36:05But...
36:09Couldn't do it without her.
36:17It's the next morning at the PC.
36:26And now it's time to see which future greats impress the legends enough to be picked first overall in the draft.
36:32Welcome, everyone, to the Season 2 draft of LFG!
36:39Kicking off the picks is gonna be the newest member of the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2025.
36:50And new to LFG, Michelle McCool!
36:59After that, we're gonna go on to the other legends.
37:02Bubba Ray, you'll come after Michelle McCool.
37:05From then, we'll go to Booker T, followed by Season 1 LFG winner, The Undertaker!
37:18All right, Michelle.
37:21Everybody wants the first pick.
37:23I know my husband was not happy about having the last pick.
37:25But then I can feel the fire from every angle, from every one of the other coaches,
37:30wondering who I'm gonna grab.
37:32I saw a lot of things earlier today that I really, really liked.
37:37And this person, I've had my eye on.
37:40I really like what I saw her do earlier, her aggression, her footwork.
37:46And I think she's got that it factor.
37:48With that being said, my first pick of the draft is...
37:55P-Nasty!
37:56P-Nasty!
37:57Sorry, Booker!
37:58All right, P-Nasty!
37:59P-Nasty!
38:00I like to win!
38:01Thank you!
38:02We gonna win!
38:03Yes, ma'am!
38:04Oh, I know!
38:05Okay!
38:06Penina, I've liked her since last season.
38:07I think she's a star.
38:08That did not make Booker T happy.
38:10P-Nasty!
38:11P-Nasty!
38:12I like to win!
38:13I like to win!
38:14Thank you!
38:15We gonna win!
38:16Yes, ma'am!
38:17Oh, I know!
38:18Okay!
38:19Penina, I've liked her since last season.
38:20I think she's a star.
38:22And that did not make Booker T happy.
38:24This is ridiculous.
38:25Mmm.
38:26This is ridiculous, right?
38:27I...
38:28Well, this is ridiculous, right?
38:29I'd be hot.
38:30What's ridiculous?
38:31I mean, come on.
38:32I'd be hot.
38:33All the damn work I put in season one.
38:34Yeah!
38:35Yeah!
38:36All the work.
38:37All the damn work I put in.
38:38I can't help you to have the first pick.
38:39And now you just come in and just pick up where I left off.
38:43No, no, I mean, that...
38:45I mean, if that ain't just, you know, underhanded as underhanded can be.
38:50And the deal is, I get it.
38:51I get it.
38:52I get it.
38:53I know I got the deck stacked against me.
38:54Oh, here we go.
38:55I get it.
38:56It's cool.
38:57It's cool.
38:58Michelle McCool picks someone that I put a lot of work in in season one.
39:01And the thing is, I'm sure it didn't happen by accident.
39:04She's playing chess.
39:05She's not playing checkers.
39:07Panina, good luck on your future endeavors.
39:09Wow!
39:10Wow!
39:11He got future endeavors?
39:12Wow!
39:13I'm in good hands.
39:14I'm in good hands.
39:16Show him, Coach.
39:17We in good hands.
39:18Wow.
39:19I'm okay.
39:20P-Nasty, come on now.
39:21She made the best choice ever.
39:22And I'm gonna make sure she has that big old title around her ways.
39:25Take it straight from her husband.
39:27All right, Michelle, and now time for your first male pick for Team McCool.
39:32Here's the thing.
39:34I hate losing.
39:36I hate losing more than I like winning.
39:38I know I already ruffled some feathers.
39:41I'm probably gonna ruffle more feathers, but I'm okay with ruffling feathers.
39:46And my next pick is a winner.
39:52My first male pick for the draft is...
39:57Anthony Luke.
40:01I love you, too.
40:02I do love you.
40:03I mean, you damn right he's a winner.
40:05You damn right he's a winner.
40:06All the damn work I put in with him.
40:08That's ridiculous.
40:09First rounder, that's what we do.
40:10First round.
40:11Anthony Luke's polished.
40:13And that's why I wanted him.
40:14And I'm sorry the feelings got hurt.
40:17But they would have done the same thing to me and not hesitate it one bit.
40:21I can promise you that.
40:23My entire life I've been waiting to get drafted.
40:25Let's go.
40:26Look at this mother .
40:28I mean, he's a sellout, too.
40:31I mean, you selling out, too, huh?
40:33You selling out, too.
40:34All the damn work I put in with you.
40:36You know what?
40:37You know what?
40:38You know what?
40:39I know what this is all about.
40:41It's all about.
40:42I get it.
40:43I love my team.
40:44I get it.
40:45Yeah, Lee, I love y'all.
40:46Just a bunch of bull .
40:47Yes, sir.
40:48I wouldn't stand for that.
40:50No, it's ridiculous.
40:51In the moment, I just thought, oh .
40:55.
40:57I mean, if anybody can't see what's happening here,
41:00I mean, out of all the talent up here.
41:01What's happening?
41:02I mean, what about Shiloh?
41:03Huh?
41:04What about Holyfield?
41:05You couldn't pick down one of those?
41:06I mean, you looking for a winner.
41:07Of course you're looking for a winner.
41:08All the damn work I put in season one.
41:10I should have won season one.
41:12All right?
41:13I should have walked away with the title,
41:14but the deck was stacked against me.
41:17Even then, now it's stacked again.
41:19Look, you know how .
41:20I just want y'all to know that this is some bull .
41:22All right?
41:23That's some bull .
41:24All right?
41:25This is bull .
41:26All right?
41:27All right?
41:28All right?
41:29What?
41:30I mean, this is a bull .
41:31He just named people out of .
41:32He can pick them, too.
41:33Come on, man.
41:34You see what's happening here?
