FunTranscript
00:00Tonight, it's the LFG Finals.
00:04Now that I'm here, winning is bare minimum.
00:07We're on the road to Houston, where one man and one woman will be awarded an NXT contract.
00:12I found me. You should be scared.
00:16Danny Sikalski takes on P-Nasty with everything on the line.
00:20You already know P-Nasty's coming to win.
00:22And in the men's final, last season's runner-up looks for redemption.
00:26But who will his opponent be?
00:28So we have two for Drake and two for Harlem.
00:32Ain't nobody changing their damn vote.
00:37It's a tense night at LFG, as Drake Moreau and Harlem Lewis get set for a rematch of last week's inconclusive semifinal bout
00:46to determine who will meet Shiloh Hill in the LFG Finals.
00:51Being put in that position, some people are fold under that kind of pressure.
00:54And in those environments, I feel like I thrive.
00:56This is it, boys.
00:59All righty, last week you had your moment, and it was one hell of a moment.
01:04So much so, you got your legends all bound up.
01:08All right?
01:09You got two votes for you, and two votes for you, Drake.
01:12And unfortunately, it comes down to me to make the final decision.
01:17I need you guys to go out there, and look, you need to wrestle like your careers depend on it, all right?
01:24Because, at least for the immediate future, it does.
01:28Welcome to the ultimate proving ground.
01:3716 future greats.
01:44Four legends.
01:46He is the epitome of WrestleMania!
01:49Aim high, you better aim hard, because I'm gonna do whatever it takes.
01:52He is the epitome of WrestleMania!
01:54He is the epitome of WrestleMania!
01:55Can't you think that stuck out?
01:58A chance to win an NXT contract.
02:01Every legend has a first chapter.
02:06The future starts now.
02:08The future great for a legend.
02:09We're running it back.
02:16The finale starts now, but these two need to be put to the test to see how they do in front of this audience,
02:23and Shawn Michaels will make the decision.
02:25Marlon Lewis taking on Drake Moreau.
02:28I want you to think about what you just said, though.
02:30Shawn Michaels will make the decision.
02:32At the end of the day, he's the one who's going to be handing a contract to a man.
02:36He's the one who's going to be handing a contract to a woman.
02:39This is his decision now.
02:40It's out of the hands of the Undertaker.
02:42It's out of the hands of Michelle McCool Balderay W.
02:44It's out of the hands of Booker T.
02:48Whoa, big splash.
02:57I'm in there.
03:00There's the man behind NXT.
03:02That's what we were talking about.
03:03It's out of the hands of the typical four.
03:05It's in the hands of Shawn Michaels.
03:07Well, certainly with Shawn Michaels watching on, he has the ultimate say-so,
03:10and NXT is certainly such a launching pad for careers coming out of this show.
03:15We've seen it with Tyra Mae Steele, Season 1, Jasper Troyes, Season 1,
03:20both featured heavily on NXT.
03:22Could be at stake here with Drake Moreau and Harlem Lewis.
03:26Taking a step further, thinking about what NXT has done.
03:27When you talk about launching careers, what about Seth Rollins?
03:29What about Charlotte Flair?
03:30What about Becky Lynch?
03:31What about Becky Lynch?
03:32What about names like Bayley, Roman Reigns?
03:41I appreciate the hard work.
03:43That shows you how important this match is.
03:46That Shawn Michaels made an executive decision to put a little bit more on this matchup.
03:51To crank it up, crank up the intensity into the cover and a kick out just a little bit more.
03:55I mean, there is a lot on the line.
03:57That just shows you how tough the competition into another cover and another near fall.
04:03How tough the competition in Season 2 not only has been, JB, but just how close everybody is.
04:09Neck and neck.
04:10Between Drake Moreau and Harlem Lewis and now in front of the NXT audience.
04:14Same crowd that gets to see NXT every week.
04:17They're making the decision with their vocal, with their noise, their claps, their cheers, their boos.
04:22All part of the consideration when you take a look at how somebody connects with an audience.
04:27Talk about connecting, how about that elbow?
04:31So far, what do you think?
04:35Look, I like both of them, but I guess right now, I guess what I feel like we need from an NXT standpoint.
04:43Part of Lewis is a dude who's got a look, he's got a tenacity.
04:49But Drake's charisma, his energy is hard to beat.
04:57That's a very interesting behind-the-curtain look that you're not going to see only right here, though, on LFG.
05:04Wow, what a fascinating insight into the mind of the Heartbreak Kid.
05:09Shawn Michaels, of course, along with performance center head coach Matt Blue by his side.
05:13And Drake Moreau taking it to Harlem Lewis.
05:16Could this be it?
05:23Looking for the choke slam like last week.
05:25Covered on it.
05:28Cover, go.
05:32Rolling right in.
05:34Oh, a near call.
05:35It's not going to end like it did last week, JB.
05:38Well, certainly we saw these two go neck and neck at it as we kick off this finale.
05:44One of these two will go on to Houston to compete in this broadcast.
05:48Who will make it to the finals?
05:50Whose dream will continue?
05:52Will it be Harlem Lewis who hoists up a jackhammer?
06:01Lewis picks up the win.
06:02Here is your winner, Harlem Lewis!
06:04Decision is now in the hands of the Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels.
06:12Go back to the pure power put on display by Harlem Lewis.
06:17We saw some insight from Shawn Michaels.
06:20We heard what he had to say as this match was going on.
06:22But he is the man who holds the decision and the fate of these two warriors in the palm of his hand.
06:30Oh, my goodness.
06:44Awesome job, gentlemen.
06:45Both all right?
06:46Yes, sir.
06:47You feel good?
06:48Yes, sir.
06:49As we've talked with you guys plenty of times in the past, you both need a lot of work, all right?
06:54But the thing is, you both have something that we need here in NXT.
07:00And I think that's size, it's charisma, it's energy.
07:05If I was going to plug one of you in immediately, I got to go with you.
07:14I'm disappointed.
07:15But I will say, I believe this season, I found out who Drake Moreau is and who Drake Moreau needs to be.
07:23Understand this.
07:24Your journey isn't over, all right?
07:28You're going up against a guy that's done this before.
07:30He was in the finals last year.
07:31Mm-hmm.
07:32All right?
07:33Job not finished.
07:34So it ain't over until it's over, all right?
07:36Good luck.
07:37Thank you so much.
07:38Thank you both so much.
07:39Thank you, gentlemen.
07:40Shawn shakes my hand and picks me and tells me I'm going to Houston, and it's like the biggest sigh of relief.
07:44And then for the first time this entire competition, I actually felt bad.
07:48Because I know that Drake has been working hard.
07:50But having Shawn Michaels shake my hand and tell me that I'm going to Houston and being in the finals,
07:54that's what these last couple of months has all come down to.
07:57And it's just so nice to finally, like, have that sigh of relief and breath.
08:00Like, here we go. This is it.
08:14It is morning in Houston, Texas, where Booker T heads to his wrestling school, hoping to inspire his star pupil.
08:23This is it.
08:24Holy .
08:25This is it right here, man.
08:26This is it.
08:27This is what it's all about, man.
08:29I say it all the time.
08:30You hear me talk about it, man.
08:32What do I always say?
08:33Checks and championships, man.
08:34That's what it's all about.
08:36Checks and championships.
08:37It ain't about friendships.
08:38Look here.
08:39When it's time to be friends, the career is going to be well done and over with.
08:43It's about going out there and proving to the world how good you are and telling them suckers in the locker room,
08:48go follow that.
08:49Go follow that.
08:50This whole competition I expected to get to this point, but now that I'm actually here, it's like,
08:55it is very surreal.
08:56I want more than anything to be able to have an office or a man cave or something with all my titles,
09:00all my action figures, all my pictures.
09:02Like, this is it.
09:03Like, if you're not looking around and thinking this is the coolest thing in the world, like,
09:06then you don't want it for real.
09:08Last season after the finals, I told myself I was going to do everything I could to get back here and make it different.
09:15I've learned a lot throughout the season and everything.
09:17I feel really confident going in, but depending on how finals go,
09:21it kind of determines whether the whole season was worth it or just for nothing.
09:24You know what I mean?
09:25And that's a lot of weight to put on one match.
09:27Tomorrow, I'm going to win.
09:31I feel like this match was destined to happen.
09:33I feel like this was meant to be.
09:34I feel like throughout all of G, everything that's happened and everything between us,
09:37we came in together, we were signed together.
09:39And, like, now it's like one of us is going to give that contract.
09:42Who's the bigger dog?
09:46I am here in Houston, Texas for the LFG Finals.
09:50I think I'd like to say, despite all odds, I think everything was stacked against me.
09:54I think everybody looked at me as an underdog.
09:56And I'm just ready to show people that I am that Pitbull that we've been talking about.
10:00Show myself, show Taker, show everybody watching that I never was the underdog.
10:04I just needed that extra push.
10:06This is what I've been waiting for since last season.
10:10Last season, I thought I deserved it.
10:12This season, you know, I feel like I earned it.
10:14I am the one to beat.
10:15They thought, you know, Zena Sterling.
10:17They thought it was going to be Serena with all the points up front.
10:20It's not about, really, how you start.
10:21They always say it's how you finish.
10:23You guys already know PNasty's coming to win.
10:27Already made everybody look good all day and season.
10:29I'm the one who got all the points.
10:31Now I just am here to write it off.
10:33Chapter finish.
10:34PNasty about to come and get that contract.
10:36Coming up on LFG, the future greats head to 713 Music Hall for the LFG Finals, where they will lay it all in the line in front of the legends and a packed house in Houston.
10:51One man and one woman will receive an NXT contract tonight.
11:00Back in Houston, Texas, the LFG finalists arrive at the 713 Music Hall and prepare for the biggest match of their lives.
11:09This is the moment they've worked for all year as they'll look to impress Shawn Michaels in order to earn that coveted NXT contract.
11:19It's a big deal.
11:21The next step, the opportunity to move forward.
11:24The opportunity for Shawn Michaels to put you on TV tomorrow.
11:28This is the LFG finals.
11:31But this right here is like my livelihood.
11:33All the seats, the space we have, people filling this whole place up just in a few hours here.
11:40A lot of nerves.
11:43A lot of nerves.
11:44PNasty is also humid, so, you know, feeling the pressure a little bit.
11:48This is a lot bigger than life right now for me.
11:52We're at the end of the road, or the beginning of the road, depending on how you want to look at it.
11:56LFG finals.
11:57I'm fortunate enough again to have two of my kids in there.
12:00Both of them seem to be dialed in.
12:02Eerie calm to Shiloh.
12:04And Danny's wound pretty tight, so they know the enormity of the moment.
12:10And I don't think either one of them will leave anything in the ring tonight.
12:15We were just getting one shot off every once in a while.
12:18Just don't die.
12:19Stay aggressive.
12:20Got it.
12:22Excited.
12:23Good job.
12:24I was always nervous cheerleading, and it told me that I still loved what I was doing.
12:27But I learned how to control it.
12:29And I can't quite say I've learned how to control this feeling yet.
12:33I'm ready to go out there, I'm ready to do my job, because at the end of the day, I was born to be a performer.
12:38I just am trying to take it all in, looking at the seats, knowing my family is going to be in there.
12:42My mom, my dad, my sister are going to be ringside right there with me.
12:46It's a great feeling.
12:50This whole season for me has been trying to get back to the finals, just so I can get another shot at what I didn't do last season.
12:57Really, the finals is kind of the all or nothing moment of making this whole redemption tour worth it.
13:03In this business, I get it. Like, I get that, you know, there's an element of working together.
13:10However, the job tonight and the goal is to win the contract, and Shiloh's not going to be the one to stop that.
13:17This is the culmination of everything they've worked for, everything they've fought for, and this is it.
13:22This determines who gets that NXT contract, which is what all of them are just dying to have.
13:27As the fans finish filling in, a jam-packed house gets set to take in the action here in Houston.
13:40It was time for last looks for Danny Sikelsky and Team Nasty as they get set to hit the ring first here at the LFG Finals.
13:49As we bring you the finale, the celebration from the legends, The Undertaker, Michelle McCool, Bubba Ray Dudley, and Booker T.
14:06Here we go, Vic. This is for all of Marvels. As you said before, we've got a man and a woman whose lives are about to change here tonight in this, the finale of Season 2 of LFG.
14:16Welcome in ringside Vic Joseph alongside Jeremy Boras.
14:20And Jeremy, you said that there is a lot at stake here on LFG.
14:24It is the season finale for Season 2 here on 80.
14:29We're kicking it off with the ladies. They're up first.
14:31The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
14:46Introducing first, representing Team Undertaker, Danny Sikelsky.
15:01Danny and Panina, the LFG Women's Final. This is it. Everything is at stake.
15:06Who's going to walk away with an NXT contract? Don't go anywhere. This match next.
15:14Welcome back to LFG as Pete Nasty makes her entrance ready to battle here in the LFG Finals.
15:19Some said she has been molded into an absolute monster. No pun intended to Jasper Troy, winner of Season 1.
15:31Hereby, her coach Michelle McCool was firing her up.
15:34I was about not to have it. I want that green, green, green. What you see? What you mean? I'm talking about whole teams.
15:39Whole teams, when we go, we gon' leave.
15:41Danny Sikelsky. P Nasty. Panina Tuelepa. About to do battle here with one of these two.
15:48two going all the way to the top and reaching that pinnacle and NXT a
15:54contract Wow how much power does this woman possess well that's been something
16:02we've talked about a lot since the beginning but who really has had a
16:06tougher road to the finals here on LFG season two well you can certainly make
16:11the case for both you can certainly make the case for Danny Sikalski you can
16:15see the journey the hardships along the way family here tonight from both of
16:21these competitors watching with so much at stake knowing they they're their lives
16:25are about to change on such a real level both personally and professionally
16:31and wow great shoulder block by Danny Sikalski ask Jasper Troy what LFG has done for his
16:43career oh we're getting a Jasper here as this evening rolls on but now you see
16:49oh it's Danny Bickensport and the Nittany Lion white and blue the former Penn State
16:55standout cheerleader out of the Big Ten looking to fly oh there's that strength
17:00Borash on display oh man and that's what Panina Tulepa brings to the table just so
17:08much strength so much power and and it's just you know it's fun watching this process because
17:14you're seeing the development and the road that the road of development head by coach
17:20Matt Bloom of course the performance center Shawn Michaels all the great coaches that have been
17:24with us since day one here on LFG and just the you see the personification of what that that
17:29work that hard work and dedication can do well let's talk about Danny here for a second has she lived
17:33up to the billing she was a season two favorite when this all started she should be here in the
17:36finals it comes down to heart it comes down to endurance it comes down to what you have deep down
17:53inside that's left is Danny Sikalski has what it takes to hang in there and outdo this powerful
17:59powerful woman I think she was looking for maybe a crucifix and instead a Samoan drop
18:05and things starting to get nasty into a cover and how about that for some ring awareness heads up
18:14maneuver Danny Sikalski even just having the presence of mind to stick that leg up on the
18:18rope and and break that three pound after being the recipient of the door just open now from behind
18:25roll up shoulders down look this goes back to what we talked about when it comes to Danny saw the foot
18:31on the rope you just saw a nice counter I mean she is someone who has really taken to this sport oh
18:36geez that board oh come on now there you go come on oh I don't know what that was but it looked kind
18:48like it's one thing to get through this test LFG capture the win on season two but then look what's
18:54waiting for you on the other side look at the roster of females that either Danny or Panina will have to
19:00step into battle with the pressure never stops here in WWE that's what we're talking about that landscape's
19:05going to change and one of these women could do just that is now the rally so to speak here in the late
19:11stages of this matchup Danny trying to remember everything that's been taught to her going back and forth
19:17and now trying to climb all the way up certainly did nice DDT tornado style into the cover hook of the
19:25leg and another near fall so close for Danny Sikowski something that's impressive to me JB is you saw her
19:32slip slightly off that bottom rope but she still stayed composed she stayed calm she executed that DDT
19:38just took all of it
19:47WWE Universe rising for both these women family in attendance here for both of these fantastic athletes
19:57and that's that's some pressure too just not only your peers Shawn Michaels undertake all the legends
20:02this crowd to have your very own family sitting front row that's a that is a heaping help and
20:08oppression and now Panina showing you just why they call her P nasty counter
20:13could be looking for Hell's Gate could be looking for Hell's Gate can she lock it in it's cinched in
20:18Panina right now is in trouble trying to overcome referee great position checking the shoulders of Danny
20:24but there's that power on display Panina trying to hoist up but she collapses down cinched in is Hell's Gate is Panina going to tap Danny trying to hold
20:33Shifts weight shoulders down just kicked out but didn't relinquish the hold which you see so many times athletes do
20:38Hell's Gate Hell's Gate locked in on Panina Talappa can Danny Sikowski finish off P nasty the finals of LFG nasty has been in this hold for a long long time Panina now trying to navigate her way but
20:53Panina Taps
20:59started out really good finished okay the middle was a little
21:04I got a little bit too excited about it
21:08Wow how great that must feel there you see the family that you were talking about in the front row that added pressure for both these women but as we've said time and time again
21:21it's not just about the victory let's go back Hell's Gate was cinched in a move that the Undertaker I would say passed down to Danny that she has used time and time again there you see the tap there you see the victor of the match but was it enough that Jeremy is the question
21:42you did it literally did it I can't do this over it it's so crazy
21:57oh my gosh
21:59I'm very blessed I think that I deserve to be right here where I am I earned this position and I think the performance I put out there is just enough to get me that contract
22:09it's nasty season and I know I know this one is mine I know it
22:15fine
22:17what do you think
22:19good job
22:21I'm so proud of you

22:31I'm on my feet

22:35a little bit
22:36I think
22:37I watched the whole film
22:38I did
22:39I think
22:40with an emotional women's match in the books it's now the men's turn to take center stage in Houston
22:47it's Shiloh Hill versus Harwin Lewis two alpha males ready to lock horns but only one man will earn an NXT contract
22:57this right here is going to be what OJR would call a slobber knocker
23:01LFG season 2 finals continuing here on A&E

23:51welcome back to the LFG finals on his way to the ring looking for redemption
23:55looking for an NXT contract
23:57it's Shiloh Hill
24:03there's a star coming in with you
24:05pressure as well as you
24:07and his opponent representing
24:09Team Undertaker
24:11Shiloh Hill
24:13I'll tell you right there I throw a hole he can apologize after this man
24:17I got no problem with that
24:19I got no problem with that
24:21I got no problem with that
24:23I like this boy man
24:25except look never apologize
24:27this one
24:33is gonna be fun
24:35well it's gonna be fun for us to watch
24:37but I think for everyone including the referee
24:39it's a fasten your seat belt
24:41and hang on for dear life
24:43because these two do not like each other
24:45what so ever
24:47yeah very well documented
24:49and look when it comes to Shiloh Hill
24:51two years now in the finals
24:53he has to be more prepared heading into this
24:55second season finale
24:57well he has to know what's going on in terms of the pressure
24:59and being familiar with that level of pressure
25:01when you're this stage
25:03in the contest of LFG
25:05but make no mistake about it
25:07you're not gonna
25:08wow
25:09you're not gonna see anything as far as
25:11butterflies or trepidation
25:13from Harlem Lewis
25:15you certainly will not
25:16is Lewis somewhat of a surprise to you here
25:18as we enter in
25:19to this season 2 finale
25:21I have to be honest no
25:22he's not a surprise that he's here
25:23it's not a surprise that he's made it this far
25:25it's not a surprise that Michelle McCool picked him
25:27or rather Booker T picked him
25:29right out of the gate in the first round of the LFG draft
25:33after Shiloh Hill on the team of The Undertaker
25:35and as we've seen through the course of this
25:37Booker T saw something in this man
25:39at the very early stages
25:41and make no mistake about it Booker T has an eye for talent
25:43look at the body shots
25:45and how things being turned around
25:46Hill charging right in
25:47big
25:48shot right to the bread basket
25:52wow
25:53I mean that'll intimidate anybody
25:54you talk about the dark web
25:55that is something that we've learned about Shiloh Hill
25:57he will go to deep deep dark states of his mind
26:01and now Hill
26:03change of the momentum early on in the match
26:05up over and flying to the outside
26:07and look I want to ask you this when it comes to Shiloh Hill
26:10this is his second trip to the finals
26:12what happens if he comes up short this year?
26:14well you have to regroup rethink and refocus
26:16and that's what Shiloh Hill did at the end of the first season of LFG
26:20now with The Undertaker in a second round of this journey
26:24you know the confidence is there
26:26and you can see it in Shiloh Hill
26:29all the guys popped out of his head on that one
26:32I wonder where he learned that one from
26:34damn thievery
26:36little Undertaker 101 with that leg drop from Shiloh Hill
26:40go with what works
26:41why not? Shiloh Hill has done that from the get-go
26:43and with The Undertaker's tutelage along the way
26:46well you know and of course the same with Booker T
26:48his tutelage with Harlem Lewis
26:50been very effective
26:51that's why these two are here right now
26:52that's why they're in the finals of LFG
26:54Lewis put on the brakes for a moment
26:56ooh
26:57he was able to get that up and down
26:58nice counter and a gnarly landing to the outside
27:01and that's the heads up ring awareness of Harlem Lewis
27:03able to take his opponent to the floor
27:05and remember what happened last time these two were on the floor together
27:08a count out here on LFG
27:09where the brawl went all the way to the back
27:11and these two are as I said before
27:14very competitive
27:16oof
27:17look they also both know what happened with Jasper Troy
27:21someone you were talking about earlier
27:22he won season one
27:23his second match in NXT is
27:26Harlem Lewis right now
27:28the referee is going to count him ten
27:29I hope he knew that there is some authority in this matchup
27:32it is our head official in NXT
27:34but one season one
27:35second match was for the NXT championship
27:37shoot in the half into the cover
27:39hook of the leg in a near fall
27:40within six weeks Jasper Troy
27:42was on a premium live in
27:44and Harlem Lewis wants his name
27:46up in the lights
27:47into another cover
27:49and another kick out
27:50and he might be checking for a couple more knocked out teeth
27:52as Shiloh Hill
27:53let's take a look at this again by the way
27:55oh
27:56nice
27:57that's that
27:58that's an apology
27:59he might need to send him some flowers for that one
28:02a fruit basket
28:04a fruit basket
28:07Harlem Lewis right now
28:08oh
28:09wow
28:10nice backbreaker
28:11connecting
28:12get up
28:13get up
28:16and Lewis
28:17has been barking
28:18all match long
28:20and now hoisting up Shiloh Hill
28:22inside cradle
28:23shoulders down
28:26so close
28:27ducking the clothesline
28:28right back in
28:29Shiloh Hill
28:30big neckbreaker

28:34that is Shiloh Hill
28:36who picks up the win
28:37in the finals
28:38here is your winner
28:41Shiloh Hill

29:07Harlem Lewis
29:08but now

29:44and easier and easier
29:45so turning in the right direction
29:46and really excited by how everything went
29:48the matches have concluded
29:52but now the real drama begins
29:54only one man and one woman will walk away with an NXT contract
29:59and up next

30:02for the final LFG deliberation
30:05all right
30:11this is it
30:12season 2 finale of LFG
30:17Shawn
30:18you have a huge decision to make here tonight
30:20you're gonna tell us which male and which female
30:23will be awarded an NXT contract
30:25and who will become the newest members of the NXT roster
30:29before we get to your decision
30:32let's hear final words about the women
30:35from the legends
30:36Bubba Ray
30:38gonna start with you
30:39both women have definitely taken steps forward
30:42from season 1 to season 2
30:44I've definitely seen the confidence in Penina
30:48and I've really seen the confidence and the growth in Danny
30:52in the second half of this season
30:55what I need
30:58I need the dog
30:59I need the dog in you
31:00I need you to be aggressive
31:02come on there you go
31:05if I had to put somebody on TV tomorrow
31:07like Shawn possibly has to do
31:09I'm gonna go with Danny
31:12I agree with what Bubba said
31:13but then on the other hand
31:15I look at Penina
31:16and she's just
31:18seemed like she's taken off
31:19seemed like she's found her stride
31:21unanimous decision
31:23congratulations Penina
31:26and you're extra stupid
31:27because you think you're about to take season 2
31:28from P Nasty
31:30season 2 she seemed like
31:31she's already declared herself the winner
31:33that's just the way I see it
31:34with Penina
31:35and just off the hook
31:36we got a chance to see her
31:37I gotta go with Penina
31:39Penina anytime she comes in
31:40she makes a statement
31:41man she's unique
31:42she's unique
31:43and I've said that from day 1 too
31:45her presence
31:46the aura
31:47she brings
31:48the energy she brings
31:49she's got this striking
31:50striking beauty
31:51that captivates you
31:52and you really can't
31:53take your eyes off of her
31:54and for that reason
31:55the consistency
31:56and the growth
31:57that she continuously showed
31:58week in week out
32:00I've gotta go with my girl Penina
32:03both Danny and Penina
32:05showed amazing growth this season
32:08I think
32:10the more polished
32:11of the two right now
32:14would be Danny
32:16okay
32:18okay
32:19let's bring out
32:20Danny and Penina
32:25I'm walking into a room
32:26with four legends
32:27and Shawn Michaels
32:29with a contract in his hand
32:31and it has the odds
32:34to go to me
32:35or my opponent
32:37well ladies
32:38I was for sure nervous
32:40I was very confident
32:41you know
32:42in myself
32:43and what I did tonight
32:44was enough
32:45and I was just hoping
32:46that they saw the same
32:48you both need to be
32:49extremely proud
32:50of what you accomplished
32:51this year
32:52Danny
32:53I know
32:54that you came into this season
32:55with a chip on your shoulder
32:56and a lot to prove
32:58and you're here today
33:00because
33:02you did that
33:04Penina
33:05your growth
33:06this year
33:07has been
33:09absolutely
33:10unbelievable
33:11but we can only have one
33:14the reality of this is
33:15I have to find a woman
33:16who can step right in
33:18and be a part
33:19of the best women's division
33:21all of wrestling
33:24so for that reason
33:25the winner of this year's LFG
33:28is you Danny
33:30congratulations
33:36I didn't think I was going to get emotional at all
33:38but obviously the tears started rolling
33:40being handed that contract
33:42to me
33:43proves that
33:44every bit of work
33:45and push through
33:46that I've gone through
33:47is worth it
33:49the little girl inside of me
33:50was strong enough to do it
33:53and I know that this is just the start for me
33:57I was heartbroken
33:59but it's okay
34:00because I ain't no Cinderella
34:01I don't need no perfect ending
34:02I'll write it myself
34:03so
34:05close this chapter
34:06y'all keep the pen
34:07nothing ain't done yet
34:09alright
34:10and now it's time for the gentlemen
34:13when it comes to Shiloh in Harlem
34:16Undertaker
34:17who's taking season 2
34:19both those guys all season long
34:21every opportunity they had
34:22they took advantage of
34:24they're both incredibly intense
34:26but still completely opposite
34:28I'm gonna show Booker exactly why he grabbed me number one
34:31and that's because I'm gonna go get that point
34:32every single week
34:33and I'm that dog
34:34and when people start barking
34:35I start biting
34:36when people start hitting
34:37I start hitting back
34:38Shiloh's continued to grow
34:39from season 1 to season 2
34:41he's had his foot on the gas
34:44I think Shiloh
34:46I think both those guys are ready
34:48I think we've seen matches that
34:49they've put on together
34:50that could be on any show to be honest with you
34:53oh yeah baby
34:56you see that there
34:58oh there's the receipt
35:00there's something that I've liked about Harlem
35:02since day one
35:03he is so intense
35:05that he often scares me to be honest with you
35:07but the intensity he brings in the ring
35:09and it's just
35:11so believable
35:13I just dropped it
35:15with that Harlem Lewis standout male for the day
35:18I think for that reason
35:23I would choose Harlem
35:25you know Sean when I look at Shiloh and Harlem
35:28in season 2
35:30it's a complete
35:32tie to me
35:33I think Harlem could use more time developing
35:37so he doesn't have that hard ass look on his face
35:40and maybe learn how to communicate a little better
35:43with his fellow worker
35:45so I'm gonna go with Shiloh Hill
35:46look where you at my man
35:49you look like you're puzzled there
35:51I am a little bit
35:52you know what I mean
35:53because I'm looking for a guy
35:54you know that's
35:56intense that's got that look on his face
35:58and people wondering what he's thinking
36:00I give Shiloh a whole lot of credit
36:02he did a hell of a job in his season 2
36:04but then I look at someone like Harlem Lewis
36:06who has the innate ability to be able to learn this
36:08and learn it not just learn it
36:09but learn it very very quickly
36:11so in essence I gotta give my vote to Harlem Lewis
36:14let's bring out Shiloh in Harlem
36:18all of season 2 has led to this moment right now
36:24and it's actually like for the first time this season
36:27I will say like I was almost uncomfortable
36:29my heart was beating for sure
36:31I was way more nervous walking into that room
36:34to find out what was gonna happen than I was for any match or promo all season
36:37the final moments of the LFG competition have arrived
36:47and our two remaining finalists wait to find out which of them has earned an NXT contract
36:52here you are in the finals
36:57for you a second time
37:01Harlem you came into this late
37:05but everybody here has raved about the development that you've had in such a short time
37:12and the one thing I don't know if you noticed it tonight
37:16but when you walked out there
37:18there was a palpable gasp
37:22they were intimidated
37:24you are one scary looking son of a bitch
37:27when you look pissed off
37:29and that my friend
37:31is money
37:33don't ever lose that luck
37:35because it works
37:37Shiloh
37:39you have put in
37:41the time
37:43the effort
37:44the work
37:46you have grown exponentially
37:49as all of the legends have talked about
37:52the reality is
37:54I need somebody
37:56that I can plug in
37:58to the NXT system
38:00that people
38:02will look at
38:04and be intimidated by
