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 go 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, get the table!
03:47Can you dig that sucker?
03:50A chance to win an NXT contract.
03:52Every legend has a first chapter.
03:58And the future starts now.

04:52Tyra a WWE legend is there for her how you feel
04:57Feel good. You feel ready. I feel ready. Yeah, I'm a little nervous, but I'm always there if you don't feel nervous
05:02You shouldn't be doing this right. Yes. Every every match should mean something to you
05:11What we're gonna see out of the gate here from Tyra May steel obviously the victory winning season one of LFG big confidence boost
05:19She is going in there with a pound-for-pound
05:23Killer so to speak in Nikita lions really just
05:29Being on the NXT roster being a member of the NXT roster means you need to be at your best
05:36Every time out and you need to really dedicate your life because that track that's that trajectory for you
05:43Oh
05:45You can reach that top you can get to the top of the mountain for NXT and then go to raw then go to SmackDown
05:50You've succeeded in this industry
05:52LFG universe
05:54There would have been a bundle of energy screaming at the top of their lungs if steel 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 lions looking to pounce
06:09Find a whole nice rope cover
06:18Very impressive
06:26That certainly is a momentum building victory for the newest NXT superstar Tyra may steal
06:39I was there for it
06:42Here I get the Olympics every single day booze cheers chance
06:48All of it and I'm here for it. Yes
06:53That should have been my spot
06:56Season two you're gonna see a lot more aggression and a lot more just
07:01Less of the dittiness. I'm just ready to show him a side of Zina that is gonna win this competition
07:08Tonight
07:09Jasper Troy makes his NXT television debut
07:13Jasper Tyra 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
07:29Listen Dante Chen is a young man with a ton of potential
07:33I think he lacks the killer instinct necessary to make it to the top, but we're about to find out
07:37You a big guy? Play the big guy role. All right? Smash it. All right? Do it like it's supposed to be done. Make him bow down and bend the damn knee. You feel me?
07:39Here's your winner of season one of LFG Jasper Troy
07:43Booker you are his coach. What are we about to see? A man that's looking to change the whole name of the game?
07:47You're a big guy?
07:49You're a big guy? Play the big guy role. All right? Smash it. All right? Do it like it's supposed to be done. Make him bow down and bend the damn knee. You feel me?
07:53Here's your winner of season one of LFG Jasper Troy
07:59Booker you are his coach. What are we about to see?
08:05A man that's looking to change the whole name of the game?
08:09He's that monster. That's M-O-U-N-S-T-E-R. That monster. 300 pounds.
08:17A lumping, stomping, grave digging, destruction. Jack, 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, and he certainly did.
08:34And he's already made an impact on LFG going up there and just wasting away the competition the way he did.
08:40But now he's looking to make an even bigger impact here at NXT.
08:46Hoisting up and overpowering.
08:48And whoa, I spoke too soon with DDT from Dante.
08:53And Troy coming right back.
08:56Baby, don't do it like that, baby.
09:00And following up with a black hole slam.
09:04Troy dominates in his debut.
09:08Uh-huh.
09:10That's right.
09:11Here's your winner, Jasper Troy.
09:16I'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.
09:36You 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.
09:46But at the same time, like, this is my competition.
09:48It's two big dogs, and it's my time to eat.
09:51It's cool that Jasper won.
09:53I'm happy for him.
09:54I'm happy that he made his family crown.
09:55But now it's my turn.
09:57It's my time to shine.
09:58There's nobody that can stop me but me.
10:00As Jasper and Tyra begin their NXT careers, a new chapter starts in LFG, where the future greats will be split into four teams coached by a WWE legend.
10:12Each week, a legendary coach will be awarded a point if a member of their team is a standout.
10:18The legends are competing for bragging rights and the LFG championship, while the future greats are all competing for an NXT contract.
10:27With the start of a new season, there's a quick reunion with the Performance Center athletes and the legends.
10:34I'm looking forward to season two of legends and future greats.
10:39What we're going to do now is get each and every one of you in the ring.
10:44We're going to have our legends have an opportunity to see what you bring to the table.
10:52And then we will have the first ever LFG draft.
10:57So if you're ready, let's frickin' go.
11:00All right.
11:06It's a new season of LFG.
11:08And both new and returning future greats arrive at the Performance Center.
11:13I don't know if we talked about this in season one at all, but this is pure 100% alligator leather.
11:21An alligator that I jumped on on my own.
11:23Wrong place at the wrong time.
11:25But now I get to show them off.
11:27I think when you look at me, you see a bubbly, happy, smiley blonde girl.
11:33But I'm not anything like the other blondes here.
11:37It's easy to be one of many, but I really want to be one of one.
11:42I'm more confident and I'm just better.
11:45Plain and simple.
11:50I'm just a guy that's comfortable in his own skin.
11:53I love horror.
11:54I love music.
11:55Very artistic.
11:56But, you know, the main thing I love is wrestling.
11:59New future great Trill London is a former NFL defensive back who's following a childhood dream.
12:04You know, I'm here to establish myself.
12:07You know, I don't want nobody's leftovers.
12:09I don't want no scraps.
12:10I want my own.
12:11Hayes Jameson is also known as the wild child.
12:15I just like to have a good time.
12:17My personality is kind of an acquired taste, I would say.
12:21Buckle up because it's going to be a fun ride.
12:24If I'm being honest, I have a little bit of a different approach for season two.
12:29I 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.
12:36And so this season, I have a hope to be on a specific coach's team.
12:41That coach is Undertaker.
12:43I want to work with him because I think he's most suitable to toughen my skin.
12:46And I think with my size and just my background, that's exactly what I need.
12:50Easy.
12:54Elijah, up, head up.
12:56Head up, don't trick your head.
12:58Yeah, keep going.
13:03The future greats must now step into the ring for the LFG Combine.
13:07This is their opportunity to stand out among their peers
13:10and show the coaches why they should be the top pick in the LFG draft.
13:15I really would like to get Anthony Luke back on my team.
13:20Somebody 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?
13:40It doesn't matter what you think.
13:45All right.
13:46Now we can get serious.
13:47I think I look like Anthony Luke.
13:49That's what I think I look like.
13:50This season, it's either win or bust.
13:53Benina, as well, to really be able to put my step 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?
14:08Are you giggling?
14:09Are you taking these very basic drills seriously from the moment you step in a ring?
14:16That's what I'm saying.
14:17That's exactly what I'm saying.
14:19Give me some rhythm, man.
14:20I need you to see some rhythm.
14:23Come here.
14:25Talk it a little bit.
14:26Talk it a little bit.
14:27Talk it a little bit.
14:28Talk it a little bit.
14:29Talk it a little bit.
14:30Not over the top.
14:31Just not your ass.
14:32Not your ass.
14:33Not my bitch.
14:36Since Undertaker has the last pick in the draft, it's time for some mind games.
14:41We'll do whatever it takes to ensure that his star pupil is still on the board when he picks.
14:47I 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.
15:00I'm watching Shiloh right now.
15:02I don't know what he's thinking.
15:04Look at Shiloh.
15:05What's going on with Shiloh?
15:07I don't know, man.
15:08Sometimes you just wake up on the wrong side of the bed.
15:13You seem to have a little bit of a strategy with Shiloh.
15:16How so?
15:18The hills got into him.
15:20Slow as .
15:25Shiloh went to the finals.
15:28You know, 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're practicing like they would play.
15:39Practice how you play.
15:40That's one of my book-isms.
15:42And it means you have to train like when you go into the fight.
15:46Y'all hear all this chatter going on.
15:49Yeah, they're too happy.
15:50See what I'm saying?
15:51Yo, guys.
15:52Hold on a second.
15:53What the is all this chatter about?
15:56I'm dead serious now.
15:57I'm serious.
15:58This is the first frickin' day.
15:59And y'all are acting like this is a frickin' game.
16:00You don't want to win.
16:01Just say you don't want to win.
16:02You got to practice like you're going to play.
16:03If you guys are chattering, that's the way you're going to get in the ring.
16:04You're going to get in the ring playing around like it's a game.
16:05I always want to be the best guy in the locker room.
16:06Preparation is the only luck I'm ever going to have.
16:08Seriously.
16:09So wake up and take this s*** serious.
16:12Booker got upset with us because this is our job.
16:14This is how I'm going to feed my family.
16:16This is how they feed their family.
16:17So we have to take it with the utmost strength.
16:18We have to take it with the utmost strength.
16:20And I'm going to take it with the utmost strength.
16:23You don't want to win.
16:24You don't want to win.
16:25Just say you don't want to win.
16:27You got to practice like you're going to play.
16:30You got to play.
16:31If you guys are chattering, that's the way you're going to get in the ring.
16:34We have to take it with the utmost interest.
16:36Aliyah, come here.
16:38Don't get caught up in all this bull .
16:42Trust me. Absolutely.
16:48This year, I'm here to win it all, man.
16:50Here to take the things I've learned in the first season
16:52and apply them here.
16:58You know, it's competition. It doesn't matter who it is.
17:00They all fooled to me, and they all got to get eight.
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.
17:21Of course, Xena's a favorite.
17:22Surprised everybody last year.
17:23I love a good little underdog story,
17:25but now she seems to be the one to beat.
17:27Let's move.
17:28Come on.
17:29Yep.
17:32Professional wrestling is a unique form of competition.
17:35It's the only sport where two competitors must cooperate with each other
17:40and work as a team.
17:41Because if they don't, the results could be catastrophic.
17:44Catastrophic.
17:48Oh!
17:50Damn.
17:51This is where the mechanics of the hip toss comes in,
17:54and that's why.
17:56Sloppy.
17:57There is no excuse why you cannot do a hip toss.
18:01.
18:04That was scary.
18:07In the moment, as soon as I left the air,
18:09I knew something wasn't right.
18:11It's my fault.
18:12You're good.
18:13You're good.
18:14You're good.
18:15You're good.
18:16.
18:17Take a breath.
18:18Take a breath.
18:19You're good.
18:20I think there was just a lot of miscommunication,
18:21and I take full responsibility for my fundamentals.
18:25She took accountability for it.
18:27That's all I can 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,
18:34but it's gonna take a lot more than falling on my head a couple times
18:38to get me to break.
18:44Oh!
18:45Ooh, .
18:46We gotta work on that.
18:47We'll work on it.
18:48We'll get there.
18:49We'll get there.
18:50Following the combine,
18:53the legends meet to discuss who they'll want to see wrestle
18:56before the draft.
18:57Well, kid, it's on you.
18:59Who do you want to see work?
19:00I like Panina.
19:01I think I'd like to see her against Danny.
19:03Panina's come a long way.
19:04She's come a long way.
19:05I'm gonna pick Chris Island and Harlem also.
19:07Chris Island and Harlem.
19:08Is that good?
19:09I want to see Harlem.
19:10His aggression was crazy.
19:11I think he didn't kind of catch my eye, too.
19:13All right, real talk.
19:14Panina versus Danny,
19:16and then I want to see Harlem versus Chris Island.
19:20Y'all ready to let him know?
19:21Let's do it.
19:22Let's do it. All right.
19:23Let's do it.
19:28My name is Panina Tulepa.
19:31Y'all know me as PNasty.
19:36The reason why they call me PNasty,
19:38I've been standing and squabbling up,
19:41getting grimy, tossing girls around.
19:44These other future great wannabes
19:47think that they got a chance at the contract.
19:50They out of their damn mind.
19:51Cause they too damn soft and too damn nice.
19:56Ain't nobody as tough and ain't nobody as nasty as PNasty.
20:03And right here, I'm speaking facts.
20:06So if anybody thinks that they got a chance, come get your issue.
20:11Good Nina.
20:12No one, and I mean no one in this competition has questioned your toughness or your power.
20:28Nina, I was an NFL cheerleader for the Tennessee Titans and 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.
20:53As far as I'm concerned, this LFG competition is wide open.
20:58So Nina, may the best woman walk away with that contract.
21:05The night before the LFG draft, one legendary coach gives Danny Sekielski some last minute advice before her match.
21:12That's the number one thing that I want to see is aggression.
21:17You know, I don't necessarily need, I don't need flips and flopping and all that.
21:23That's not what I do.
21:25I tell stories.
21:27I love it.
21:29We went up on the other side.
21:33It is completely different.
21:35Mine and Nina's charisma, it's there.
21:37It's undeniable.
21:38The 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.
21:47And I think that we can tell that story really well if we execute what we've been given.
21:50Not making it to the finals in season one pissed me the hell off.
21:55And I'm coming back with a vengeance.
21:57I'm coming back with the most attitude that WWE has ever seen.
22:01Danny, I'm sorry, but you're going to feel everything.
22:04And that's Danny Sekielski.
22:05I just spoke with her moments before she came out here.
22:07She said, I am sick of being underestimated.
22:11I am going to show what I can do in season two.
22:14And no one is going to get in my way.
22:16Fired up as we kick off things with P Nasty and Danny Sekielski.
22:21Well, I'm glad you bring up the fact of season two.
22:25Because I want to ask you this about Danny specifically.
22:28How has she grown over the last few months?
22:31Well, she has come into her own in a confident 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.
22:39She's not going to be as nice.
22:40You might not see as many smiles on her face.
22:43And she's going to get it done in the ring.
22:45Well, that certainly would go against everything that we have known Danny to be.
22:50But she knows that right now it's not about fun, games, smiles, laughter.
22:54It's about getting the job done.
22:55Heavy hitting and now going to the body with some fierce fists.
22:59Wow, look at the ferociousness of P Nasty.
23:02Look at how she approaches her opponent.
23:03And this is certainly something that we've seen, a growth we've seen since the beginning of season one now into season two.
23:09I said, what is the biggest difference for you, Panina?
23:12She goes, the biggest difference is season one, I was Panina.
23:16Very friendly, very smiley.
23:18Season two, I am P Nasty.
23:20She says she's done eating Samoan food.
23:22Now she's doing healthy food only.
23:24She is focused in the gym.
23:26She's in there every day.
23:27And this show has inspired a new, well, an inspiration in her life and her career.
23:33Well, you go back to season one, you talk about Jasper Troy,
23:35somebody who came in to season one, then cut eight, nine, ten percent body fat.
23:39I mean, that is what Shawn Michaels and the rest of the WWE are looking for.
23:44That those athletes that want to take it that next step, not just to be good, but to be great.
23:50Wow, 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 PNasty,
24:16she's not looking around.
24:17She'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.
24:28Well, that's, I think, what she has certainly done in terms of her approach going into this matchup.
24:34We saw that earlier, now she's going for it, this is it, Hell's Gate.
24:39With this submission, Undertaker gave her the match in season one.
24:43But look at PNasty overpowering the opposition.
24:48Wow.
24:50Hell's Gate turned into PNasty.
24:54That's certainly one way to break it, right?
24:57And then bam, following it up with an exclamation point into the cover, PNasty.
25:03PNasty picks up the win.
25:07Here is your winner, Tuna Elba!
25:11PNasty said, I'm going to be main eventing the first episode of season two of LFG.
25:16You can bet I'm going to go out there and I'm going to make a name for myself.
25:20Take note to the legends.
25:22Where will she end up?
25:24I don't necessarily know if anyone want to argue with PNasty after the results of tonight.
25:31Picking up the victory, starting things off on the right foot.
25:35And when it comes to PNasty, is this the season?
25:40I don't even care about the grittiness, the toughness.
25:46What I showed out there is that PNasty is hella nasty.
25:49I ain't holding back.
25:50I'm not trying to be polite and courteous to each other and to the legends.
25:55Now, it's being unleashed.
25:57I'm the number one prospect.
25:58I feel good coming out of that match.
26:00I do know that getting your hand raised doesn't mean everything in this industry.
26:04I know that I need to fight from underneath with my size.
26:06I completely understand that.
26:07And I also study what we do all the time.
26:09I watch film.
26:10I try to be like the Rey Mysterio of the women's division where I know I'm smaller,
26:14but 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.
26:23I'm going to take those hits from people and I'm just going to keep, keep, keep bouncing back.
26:38For the main event, Chris Island will battle Harlem Lewis, who's making his LFG debut.
26:45WWE brought Harlem Lewis in to feed ass.
26:48That's exactly what I'm here for.
26:50I bring exactly what is missing, the intensity, the aggression, everything that these people don't have.
26:54These people are here because they want to be on a TV show.
26:56I'm here because I want to wrestle and I want to kick people's ass.
26:58When I walk to the ring, I don't have to turn it on.
27:00I walk around here pissed off and enrage every single day, 24-7.
27:03When I go to the gym, I have that in there already.
27:05I'm not Harlem Lewis in the ring.
27:06I'm Harlem Lewis at every single point of every single day.
27:08That's what I've always been.
27:09It's not going to change now.
27:12I never want to work a nine to five desk job.
27:14I've always wanted to do something physical.
27:16I've always wanted to do something competitive.
27:18It's just like there's a fire in me.
27:19I want to be better than everybody else.
27:20And 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.
27:26If he's going to be this good today, I want to be this good.
27:28You always just got to be on the top of your game at all times.
27:31It should be fun.
27:32Chris is fun to work with, so it should be good with Peter.
27:35I have a match with the new Harlem Lewis, brand new to LFG.
27:43And honestly, I feel pretty honored to be trusted with something like that.
27:47And 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.
27:52There's nothing else.
27:53No smile, no play.
27:54I'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 can 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 need to see where he was at.
28:19I need to really see what's inside you.
28:21What makes you?
28:22What kind of manner are you?
28:23I definitely saw that he do got that killer in him and he a little off, but I'm a little off too.
28:28And he felt that too.
28:29So, I don't like that.
28:30I don't like those eyes.
28:31No one likes these eyes.
28:32Technically, he's the vet tonight and I'm the rookie.
28:35So, I'm just trying to prove myself that I can stand up there with him, that I can surpass him.
28:38Trust in the promise of the promised child and trust that I can take us where we need to go.
28:44I'm excited for this one.
28:46Chris Island!
28:47Well, this is someone we are very familiar with.
28:53It's someone who we have learned is always game ready.
28:58I'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.
29:06And I'll tell you why.
29:07Coming in with a chip on his shoulder, he says, no more Mr. Nice Guy.
29:11That didn't get me very far.
29:13Now 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.
29:23We'll touch on that in just a moment, but here comes the man you've already talked about.
29:33And his opponent, Harlem Lewis!
29:39I like this guy right here. Look at the eyes.
29:42And I don't think it's an understatement.
29:43That is a big individual, and this is a massive opportunity.
29:48And an opportunity for one of our legends to score big with this guy.
29:52I'll tell you what, we're picking and expecting big things from Harlem Lewis.
29:57Four-year boxer.
29:58Italian football player, not to the...
30:01I'm not going to say the...
30:03Football or is it football?
30:04So it's European football.
30:06No, it's American football.
30:07Got it.
30:08In Italy.
30:09And Tana Dolphins, 2024, number one linebacker in the history of the team.
30:14That's where we found him.
30:16And then subsequently coming here to WWE, the first to jump from Evolve here to LFG.
30:22And we have a first look.
30:25Harlem Lewis here in the ring with Chris Island.
30:28Well, you already see that nasty attitude on Harlem Lewis,
30:31but this is that attitude of Chris Island that you talked about.
30:34And is it safe to say that not winning fueled his fire here in season two?
30:39That being Chris Island.
30:41Well, that slap to the face sure fueled the fire of Harlem Lewis early on.
30:45And Chris Island really has to back up what he said.
30:48He's coming in with a new attitude.
30:51Oh, look at that.
30:52Look at that right there.
30:53Look at that.
30:54Beautiful work.
30:58Take another look and just feel.
31:00Bam!
31:02Well, of course, the linebacker, the football background.
31:04Team captain, Moorhead State, Kentucky for a number of years.
31:08A number of years, still a record holder, multi-time record holder.
31:11Let's break it down even more.
31:12I mean, what have you heard about Lewis from some of the coaches?
31:16Smash mouth offense.
31:17No nonsense.
31:18Game player.
31:19Spends a lot of time in the gym.
31:21He does two things.
31:22Wrestle and work out.
31:23Those are his two main concerns in life, his two passions.
31:26And we're going to see how that comes into play,
31:28especially 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.
31:39And 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.
31:48I was just thinking the exact same thing.
31:50Jasper Troy became that sort of vicious athlete in the ring.
31:55Harlem Lewis is coming out day one like a house of fire.
32:00You think Shiloh isn't watching right now?
32:02You think Anthony Luke isn't watching right now?
32:05But more importantly, the legends that are watching.
32:08Oh, who's there?
32:10I like this kid in Harlem, man.
32:12I like this kid.
32:13This kid's got a lot of attention.
32:14One, two, three.
32:15Into the cover.
32:16Hook of the leg.
32:17And a kick out.
32:18To your point, Harlem Lewis coming from Evolve.
32:23Certainly is involving or evolving in front of our own eyes.
32:26Right here he goes right back on top of Island.
32:29Continuing to wear Chris down in the center of the ring.
32:33Well, 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.
32:41And the other thing I want to throw to you is it doesn't seem that the moment is too big.
32:46There 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.
32:53Hook of the leg and a near fall.
32:55He is coming here and has been ready to go from the jump.
33:00Well, Anthony Luke, Drake Moreau take notice.
33:03Guys, there's a new player on the team.
33:05And to be fair, JB, I'm a little taken back in this matchup.
33:09I 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.
33:18And it has come out the gate was Lewis.
33:21Island has weathered the storm.
33:22And now he's throwing some right to the left, going to the body.
33:25Lewis just trying to grab on for dear life.
33:27And now Island trying to take over.
33:29And boom!
33:30Pouncing right back into this match.
33:32Look here, man.
33:33Yeah, hustle, hustle.
33:34I like that.
33:35We're seeing an onslaught of offense from Chris Island showing that confidence.
33:39Listen, it is off time.
33:40Whoa!
33:41Really, it's coned his scales in the ring.
33:43And 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.
33:56Take it.
33:57Oh!
33:58Not so fast.
34:00Boom!
34:01Big lariat across the throat.
34:03And just when we thought Island was starting to get some momentum, Harlem Lewis just slammed the door shut.
34:10And Harlem Lewis setting him up.
34:12We know about this.
34:14This is called the move.
34:16Slap!
34:17Down!
34:18Chris Island feeling the brunt of that.
34:20And enough to get the victory for Harlem Lewis.
34:23Here is your winner, Harlem Lewis!
34:29And you get the sense from those here.
34:32They are stunned and shocked at what they just witnessed.
34:36Well, take a look at this again.
34:37Harlem Lewis.
34:38Bam!
34:39Delivering.
34:41And picking him up.
34:42The boom slag.
34:44Down goes Chris Island.
34:46Harlem Lewis on top for the cover and the win.
34:49Welcome to LFG Season 2.
34:52Putting the other male competitors, the other male future greats on.
34:57You know is Harlem Lewis.
34:59Victorious in his LFG debut.
35:05Harlem's first match is a resounding success.
35:08And it inspires reflection on his journey so far.
35:11When you called your mom and told her that you were going to be an LFG, what was her reaction?
35:19She was bawling, crying.
35:21Like, like she couldn't even get a word out.
35:23She was crying.
35:24Like, my second birthday was a WWE themed party with like big posters of stone cold on all the doors and stuff.
35:30And every Royal Rumble, she would make a giant like cake.
35:33And she'd print out these little tiny pictures of like all the contestants that she knew was going to be in the match.
35:37And put them on little toothpicks and stick them in each part of the cake and cut it.
35:40So you take the piece that you wanted for who you wanted to win.
35:43Like, she loves this business.
35:45And I think it's like so surreal for her that I'm part of it now.
35:56Damn.
35:57Me and my mom haven't even spoken since Christmas.
36:01We're on really bad terms right now.
36:06But...
36:10Couldn't do it without her.
36:11It'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 two draft of LFG.
36:43Kicking off the picks is going to be the newest member of the WWE Hall of Fame class of 2025.
36:51And new to LFG, Michelle McCool.
36:55After that, we're going to 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 one LFG winner, The Undertaker.
37:13All right, Michelle.
37:22Everybody wants the first pick.
37:23I know my husband was not happy about having the last pick.
37:26But then I can feel the fire from every angle, from every one of the other coaches wanting who I'm going to grab.
37:32I saw a lot of things earlier today that I really, really liked.
37:38And this person, I've had my eye on.
37:41I really like what I saw her do earlier, her aggression, her footwork.
37:47And I think she's got that it factor.
37:50With that being said, my first pick of the draft is...
37:56P-Nasty.
38:05P-Nasty.
38:08Sorry, Booker.
38:09All right, P-Nasty.
38:12I'd like to win.
38:14I'd like to win.
38:15We're going to win.
38:16Yes, ma'am.
38:17Oh, I know.
38:18Okay.
38:19Penina, I've liked her since last season.
38:21I think she's a star.
38:23And that did not make Booker T happy.
38:25This is ridiculous.
38:26Mmm.
38:27This is ridiculous, right?
38:28This 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.
38:35Yeah.
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.
38:44I 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.
38:52I get it.
38:53I know I got the deck stacked against me.
38:55Oh, here we go.
38:56I get it.
38:57It's cool.
38:58It's cool.
38:59Michelle McCool picks someone that I put a lot of work in in season one.
39:02And the thing is, I'm sure it didn't happen by accident.
39:05She's playing chess.
39:06She's not playing checkers.
39:08Penina, good luck on your future endeavors.
39:10Wow.
39:11He got future endeavors?
39:12Wow.
39:13I'm in good hands.
39:14Wow.
39:15Yeah.
39:16I'm in good hands.
39:17Show him, Coach.
39:18We in good hands.
39:19Wow.
39:20Hey.
39:21P-Nasty, come on now.
39:22She made the best choice ever.
39:23And I'm gonna make sure she has that big old title around her ways.
39:26Take it straight from her husband.
39:28All right, Michelle.
39:29And now time for your first male pick for Team McCool.
39:33Here's the thing.
39:34I hate losing.
39:36I hate losing more than I like winning.
39:39I 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.
39:50My first male pick for the draft is Anthony Luke.
39:59I love you.
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.
40:10Ridiculous.
40:11First round.
40:12Anthony Luke's polished, and that's why I wanted him.
40:15And I'm sorry that feelings got hurt, but they would have done the same thing to me and
40:20not hesitate at one bit.
40:21I can promise you that.
40:22My entire life, I've been waiting to get drafted.
40:26Let's go.
40:27Look at this mother .
40:29I mean, he's a sellout, too.
40:32I mean, you selling out, too, huh?
40:34You selling out, too.
40:35All the damn work I put in with you.
40:37You know what?
40:38You know what?
40:39You know what?
40:40I know what this is all about.
40:42It's all about.
40:43I get it.
40:44I love my team.
40:45I get it.
40:46Yeah, Lee, I love y'all.
40:47Just a bunch of bull .
40:48Yes, sir.
40:49I wouldn't stand for that.
40:50No, it's ridiculous.
40:52In the moment, I just thought, oh, .
40:57I mean, if anybody can't see what's happening here, I mean, out of all the talent up here.
41:02What's happening?
41:03I mean, what about Shiloh?
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.
41:11I should've won season one, all right?
41:13I should've walked away with the title, but the deck was stacked against me.
41:17Even then, now it's stacked again.
41:19Look, you know what?
41:20I just want y'all to know that this is some bull .
41:23All right?
41:24That's some bull .
41:25All right?
41:26This some bull .
41:27All right?
41:28All right?
41:29What?
41:30I mean, this is .
41:31This is bull .
41:32He just named people .
41:33He can pick them, too.
41:34Come on, man.
41:35You see what's happening here.
41:37.
41:38It's been real.
41:39Is he coming back?
41:42Is he gone?
41:43Is he coming back?
41:44Is he gone?
41:46Is he coming back?
41:50Man.
41:55This season on LFG.
42:00You don't have to be good to be over.
42:01No.
42:02I'm a prime example of that.
42:03Truth.
42:04I'm looking at the one.
42:05I'm on park.
42:06I pulled out.
42:07They got it.
42:08I'm coaching.
42:09I'm worried about him being hurt, man.
42:10Pull him.
42:11She's got to go.
42:12One punch, and that's all you're going to need.
42:13I would like to tell you that you're all going to make it, but you're not.
42:32.
42:33.
42:34.
42:35.
42:36.
42:37.
42:38.
