00:00One for Drake and two for Harlem.

00:02Ain't nobody changing their damn vote.

00:07It's a tense night at LFG as Drake Moreau and Harlem Lewis get set for a rematch of last week's inconclusive semifinal bout

00:16to determine who will meet Shiloh Hill in the LFG finals.

00:21Being put in that position, some people are fold under that kind of pressure.

00:24And in those environments, I feel like I thrive.

00:27This is it, boys.

00:28All righty, last week you had your moment, and it was one hell of a moment.

00:34So much so you got your legends all bound up.

00:38All right?

00:39You got two votes for you and two votes for you, Drake.

00:43And unfortunately, it comes down to me to make the final decision.

00:47I need you guys to go out there.

00:49And look, you need to wrestle like your careers depend on it, all right?

00:54Because at least for the immediate future, it does.

00:58Welcome to the ultimate proving ground.

01:0816 future greats.

01:09Let's go.

01:10And they asked who did it, that's what they mentioned.

01:12Yes, we're the evolution from a true legend.

01:15He is the epitome of WrestleMania.

01:18Aim high, you better aim hard, because I'm going to do whatever it takes.

01:22He is the epitome of a chance to win an NXT contract.

01:33Every legend has a first chapter.

01:35The future starts now.

01:37We're running it back.

01:46The finale starts now, but these two need to be put to the test to see how they do in front of this audience.

01:53And Shawn Michaels will make the decision.

01:55Harlow Lewis taking on Drake Moreau.

01:58I want you to think about what you just said, though.

02:00Shawn Michaels will make the decision.

02:02At the end of the day, he's the one who's going to be handing a contract to a man.

02:06He's the one who's going to be handing a contract to a woman.

02:09This is his decision now.

02:11It's out of the hands of the Undertaker.

02:12It's out of the hands of Michelle McColle, while the way to the league.

02:14It's out of the hands of Booker T.

02:16There's the man beyond NXT.

02:32That's what we were talking about.

02:33It's out of the hands of the typical four.

02:35It's in the hands of Shawn Michaels.

02:37Well, certainly, when Shawn Michaels watching on, he has the ultimate say-so.

02:40And NXT is certainly such a launching pad for careers coming out of this show.

02:45We've seen it.

02:46With Tyra Mae Steele, Season 1.

02:48Jasper Troy, Season 1.

02:50Both featured heavily on NXT.

02:53Could be at stake here with Drake Moreau and Harlow Lewis.

02:56Taking a step further, thinking about what NXT has done.

02:57When you talk about launching careers, what about Seth Rollins?

03:00What about Charlotte Flair?

03:01What about Becky Lynch?

03:02What about names like Bayley, Roman Reigns?

03:10For real, I appreciate the hard work.

03:13That shows you how important this match is.

03:16That Shawn Michaels made an executive decision to put a little bit more on this matchup.

03:21Crank it up.

03:22Crank up the intensity into the cover and a kickout just a little bit more.

03:25I mean, there is a lot on the line.

03:27That just shows you how tough the competition into another cover and another near fall.

03:33How tough the competition in Season 2 not only has been, JB, but just how close everybody is.

03:38Neck and neck.

03:40Between Drake Moreau and Harlow Lewis and now in front of the NXT audience.

03:43The same crowd that gets to see NXT every week.

03:47They're making the decision with their vocal, with their noise, their claps, their cheers, their boos.

03:52All part of the consideration when you take a look at how somebody connects with an audience.

03:57Talk about connecting.

03:58How about that elbow?

03:58Look, I like both of them, but I guess, like, right now, I guess, what I feel like we need from an NXT standpoint.

04:13Part of Lewis is a dude who's got a look.

04:15He's got a tenacity.

04:18But Drake's charisma, his energy, is hard to beat.

04:28That's a very interesting behind-the-curtain look that you're not going to see only right here, though, on LFG.

04:34Wow, what a fascinating insight into the mind and the heartbreak kid.

04:38Shawn Michaels, of course, along with performance center head coach Matt Blue by his side.

04:43And Drake Moreau taking it to Harlem Lewis.

04:46Could this be it?

04:48Looking for the choke slam like last week.

04:58Cover, cover, go.

05:01Rolling right in.

05:03Oh, a near fall.

05:05It's not going to end like it did last week, JB.

05:08Well, certainly we saw these two go neck and neck at it as we kick off this finale.

05:13One of these two will go on to Houston to come beat in this broadcast.

05:19Who will make it to the finals?

05:20Whose dream will continue?

05:23Will it be Harlem Lewis who hoists up a jackhammer?

05:31Lewis picks up the win.

05:32Here is your winner, Harlem Lewis.

05:38Decision is now in the hands of the heartbreak kid, Shawn Michaels.

05:42Go back to the pure power put on display by Harlem Lewis.

05:48We saw some insight from Shawn Michaels.

05:50We heard what he had to say as this match was going on.

05:52But he is the man who holds the decision and the fate of these two warriors in the palm of his hand.

06:00Oh, my goodness.

06:13Awesome job.

06:15You both all right?

06:16Yes, sir.

06:16You all good?

06:17All right.

06:17Yes, sir.

06:18As we've talked with you guys plenty of times in the past, you both need a lot of work.

06:23All right.

06:24But the thing is, you both have something that we need here in NXT.

06:29And I think that's size, it's charisma, it's energy.

06:35If I was going to plug one of you in immediately, I got to go with you.

06:43I'm disappointed.

06:46But I will say, I believe this season, I found out who Drake Moreau is and who Drake Moreau needs to be.

06:53Understand this.

06:54Your journey isn't over.

06:56All right?

06:57You're going up against a guy that's done this before.

07:00He was in the finals last year.

07:01All right?

07:02Job not finished.

07:03So it ain't over until it's over.

07:05All right?

07:06Good luck.

07:06Thank you so much.

07:07Thank you both so much.

07:08Thank you, gentlemen.

07:09Sean shakes my hand and picks me and tells me I'm going to Houston.

07:12And it's like the biggest sigh of relief.

07:14And then for the first time this entire competition, I actually felt bad.

07:18Because I know that Drake has been working hard.

07:20But having Shawn Michaels shake my hand and tell me that I'm going to Houston and being in the finals,

07:24that's what these last couple of months has all come down to.

07:27And it's just so nice to finally, like, have that sigh of relief and breath.

07:30Like, here we go.

07:32This is it.

07:32It is morning in Houston, Texas, where Booker T heads to his wrestling school, hoping to inspire his star pupil.

07:52This is it.

07:54Oh, this is it right here, man.

07:56This is it.

07:58This is what it's all about, man.

07:59I say it all the time.

08:00You hear me talk about it, man.

08:02What do I always say?

08:03Checks and championships, man.

08:05That's what it's all about.

08:06Checks and championships.

08:07It ain't about friendships.

08:08Look here.

08:09When it's time to be friends, the career is going to be well done and over with.

08:13It's about going out there and proving to the world how good you are, telling them suckers in the locker room, go follow that.

08:19Go follow that.

08:21This whole competition I expected to get to this point, but now that I'm actually here, it's like, it is very surreal.

08:26I want more than anything to be able to have an office or a man cave or something with all my titles, all my action figures, all my pictures.

08:32Like, this is it.

08:33Like, if you're not looking around and thinking this is the coolest thing in the world, like, then you don't want it for real.

08:37Last season, after the finals, like, I told myself I was going to do everything I could to get back here and make it different.

08:46I've learned a lot throughout the season and everything.

08:47I feel really confident going in, but depending on how finals go, kind of determines whether the whole season was worth it or just for nothing, you know what I mean?

08:55And that's a lot of weight to put on one match.

08:57Tomorrow, I'm going to win.

09:01I feel like this match was destined to happen.

09:03I feel like this was meant to be.

09:04I feel like throughout all LFG, everything that's happened, everything between us, we came in together, we were signed together, and, like, now it's like one of us is going to get that contract.

09:12Who's the bigger dog?

09:16I am here in Houston, Texas for the LFG finals.

09:20I think I'd like to say, despite all odds, I think everything was stacked against me.

09:24I think everybody looked at me as an underdog, and I'm just ready to show people that I am that pit bull that we've been talking about.

09:29Show myself, show Taker, show everybody watching that I never was the underdog.

09:34I just needed that extra push.

09:38This is what I've been waiting for since last season.

09:40Last season, I thought I deserved it.

09:42This season, you know, I feel like I earned it.

09:43I am the one to beat.

09:45They thought, you know, Zena Sterling.

09:47They thought it was going to be Serena with all the points up front.

09:50It's not about really how you start.

09:51They always say it's how you finish.

09:52You guys already know, PNasty's coming to win.

09:57Already made everybody look good all dang season.

09:59I'm the one who got all the points.

10:01Now I just am here to write it off.

10:03Chapter finish.

10:04PNasty about to come and get that contract.

10:10Coming up on LFG, the future greats head to 713 Music Hall for the LFG finals,

10:16where they will lay it all in the line in front of the legends in a packed house in Houston.

10:20One man and one woman will receive an NXT contract tonight.

10:30Back in Houston, Texas, the LFG finalists arrive at the 713 Music Hall

10:35and prepare for the biggest match of their lives.

10:39This is the moment they've worked for all year

10:42as they'll look to impress Shawn Michaels in order to earn that coveted NXT contract.

10:48It's a big deal.

10:50The next step, the opportunity to move forward.

10:54The opportunity for Shawn Michaels to put you on TV tomorrow.

10:59This is the LFG finals.

11:01But this right here is like my livelihood.

11:03All the seats, the space we have, people filling this whole place up.

11:08Just in a few hours here.

11:10A lot of nerves, a lot of nerves.

11:13PNasty is also human, so, you know, feeling the pressure a little bit.

11:19This is a lot bigger than life right now for me.

11:21We're at the end of the road, or the beginning of the road, depending on how you want to look at it.

11:27LFG finals.

11:27I'm fortunate enough, again, to have two of my kids in there.

11:31Both of them seem to be dialed in.

11:33Eerie calm to Shiloh.

11:35And Danny's wound pretty tight, so they know the enormity of the moment.

11:41And I don't think either one of them will leave anything in the ring tonight.

11:46You want to just give me one shot off every once in a while.

11:48Just don't die.

11:49Stay aggressive.

11:49Got it.

11:52Excited.

11:53I was always nervous cheerleading, and it told me that I still loved what I was doing.

11:57But I learned how to control it.

11:59And I can't quite say I've learned how to control this feeling yet.

12:03I'm ready to go out there.

12:04I'm ready to do my job, because at the end of the day, I was born to be a performer.

12:08I just am trying to take it all in, looking at the seats, knowing my family is going to be in there.

12:12My mom, my dad, my sister are going to be ringside right there with me.

12:16It's a great feeling.

12:19This 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.

12:27Really, the finals is kind of the all-or-nothing moment of making this whole redemption tour worth it.

12:34In this business, I get it.

12:36I get that there's an element of working together.

12:39However, the job's not, and the goal is to win the contract, and Shiloh's not going to be the one to stop that.

12:47This is the culmination of everything they've worked for, everything they've fought for, and this is it.

12:52This determines who gets that NXT contract, which is what all of them are just dying to have.

12:57As the fans finish filling in, a jam-packed house gets set to take in the action here in Houston.

13:06It was time for last looks for Danny Sikelsky and Tee Nasty as they get set to hit the ring first here at the LFG Finals.

13:19As we bring you the finale, the celebration from the legends, The Undertaker, Michelle McCool, Bubba Ray Dudley, and Booker Tee.

13:36Here we go, Vic.

13:37This is for all of Marvels.

13:38As 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 two of LFG.

13:47Welcome to ringside, Vic Joseph, alongside Jeremy Boras.

13:50And Jeremy, you said it, there is a lot at stake here on LFG.

13:54It is the season finale for season two here on 80.

13:59We're kicking it off with the ladies.

14:00They're up first.

14:12The following contest is scheduled for one call.

14:16Introducing first, representing Team Undertaker, Danny Sikelsky.

14:30Danny and Panina, the LFG women's final.

14:33This is it.

14:34Everything is at stake.

14:35Who's going to walk away with an NXT contract?

14:38Don't go anywhere.

14:39This match, next.

14:40Welcome back to LFG as Pete Nasty makes her entrance ready to battle here in the LFG finals.

14:52Some said she has been molded into an absolute monster.

14:58No pun intended to Jasper Troy, winner of season one.

15:01Hereby, her coach, Michelle McCool, was firing her up.

15:03I ain't about not to have it.

15:05I want that green, green, green.

15:06What you seeing?

15:07What you mean?

15:08I'm talking about the whole team.

15:09The whole team.

15:09Where we come, we don't leave.

15:10Danny Sikelsky.

15:12P. Nasty.

15:14Panina Quileppa.

15:15About to do battle here with one of these two.

15:18LFG.

15:19LFG.

15:20Going all the way to the top.

15:22LFG.

15:22And reaching that pinnacle in NXT.

15:24A contract.

15:25Jaina Ross.

15:26Wow.

15:26How much power does this woman possess?

15:31Well, that's been something we've talked about a lot since the beginning.

15:34But who really has had a tougher road to the finals here on LFG Season 2?

15:40Well, you can certainly make the case for both.

15:42You can certainly make the case for Danny Sikelsky.

15:45You can see the journey, the hardships along the way.

15:49Family here tonight from both of these competitors watching with so much at stake,

15:54knowing their lives are about to change.

15:56On such a real level, both personally, professionally.

16:01Whoops.

16:02Slow it down.

16:04Slow it down.

16:05Slow it down.

16:07And wow.

16:08Great shoulder block by Danny Sikelsky.

16:10Ask Jasper Troy what LFG has done for his career.

16:14Well, we're getting into Jasper here as this evening rolls on.

16:18But now you see Danny Bickensport.

16:21The Nittany Lion.

16:23White and blue.

16:24Blue, the former Penn State standout cheerleader out of the Big Ten.

16:27Looking to fly.

16:28Oh, there's that strength, Borash.

16:31Oh.

16:32On display.

16:34Oh, man.

16:36And that's what Panina Tfilepa brings to the table.

16:38Just so much strength, so much power.

16:40And it's just, you know, it's fun watching this process because you're seeing the development

16:45and the road, the road of development headed by Coach Matt Bloom, of course, the Performance

16:51Center, Shawn Michaels, all the great coaches that have been with us since day one here on

16:55LFG.

16:56And just the, you see the personification of what that work, that hard work and dedication

17:00can do.

17:01Well, let's talk about Danny here for a second.

17:02Has she lived up to the billing?

17:03She was a season two favorite when this all started.

17:06She should be here in the finals.

17:08Too calculated.

17:09They let it loose, Panina.

17:15Timey off.

17:16It comes down to heart.

17:20It comes down to endurance.

17:21It comes down to what you have deep down inside.

17:23That's left.

17:24Does Danny Sikalski have what it takes to hang in there and outdo this powerful, powerful

17:30woman?

17:30I think she was looking for maybe a crucifix.

17:32And instead, a Samoan drop.

17:35And things starting to get nasty into a cover.

17:41And how about that for some ring awareness?

17:44Heads up maneuver.

17:44Danny Sikalski even just having the presence of mind to stick that leg up on the rope and

17:48break that three pound after being the recipient of the...

17:52Whoa!

17:52Oh!

17:53Door just opened now.

17:55From behind.

17:56Rolled up.

17:57Shoulders down.

17:58Look, this goes back to what we talked about when it comes to Danny.

18:00You saw the foot on the rope.

18:01You just saw a nice counter.

18:02I mean, she is someone who has really taken to this sport.

18:06Oh, geez.

18:07What's that?

18:07Ford?

18:08Oh, come on now.

18:10There you go.

18:11Come on.

18:15I don't know what that was, but it looked kind of good.

18:19It's one thing to get through this test.

18:21LFG capture the win on season two.

18:24But then look what's waiting for you on the other side.

18:26Look at the roster of females that either Danny or Panini will have to step into battle

18:31with.

18:31The pressure never stops here in WWE.

18:33That's what we were talking about.

18:34That landscape's going to change.

18:36And one of these women could do just that.

18:39It's now the rally, so to speak, here in the late stages of this matchup.

18:43Danny trying to remember everything that's been taught to her.

18:46Going back and forth.

18:47And now trying to climb all the way up.

18:50Certainly did.

18:50Nice DDT.

18:52Tornado style.

18:53Into the cover.

18:54Hook of the leg.

18:56And another near fall.

18:57So close for Danny Sikowsky.

19:00Something that's impressive to me, JB, is you saw her slip slightly off that bottom rope,

19:04but she still stayed composed.

19:06She stayed calm.

19:07She executed that DDT from the top.

19:09And they'll avoid doing this.

19:12They're very short in this.

19:14Just took all of it.

19:18WWE Universe rising for both these women.

19:23Family in attendance here for both of these fantastic athletes.

19:27And that's some pressure, too.

19:29Just not only your peers.

19:31Shawn Michaels.

19:31Undertake.

19:32All the legends.

19:33This crowd.

19:34And to have your very own family sitting front row.

19:36That is a heaping help and oppression.

19:39And now Panina showing you just why they call her P-Nasty counter.

19:44Could be looking for Hell's Gate.

19:45Could be looking for Hell's Gate.

19:46Can she lock it in?

19:47It's since did.

19:48Panina right now is in trouble.

19:50Trying to overcome referee.

19:52Great position.

19:53Checking the shoulders of Danny.

19:54But there's that power on display.

19:57Panina trying to hoist up.

19:58But she collapses down.

20:00Cinched in as Hell's Gate.

20:01Is Panina going to tap?

20:02Danny trying to hold.

20:04Shifts weight.

20:04Shoulders down.

20:05Just kicked out.

20:05But didn't relinquish the hold.

20:06Which you see so many times.

20:08Athletes do.

20:09Hell's Gate.

20:10Hell's Gate locked in on Panina.

20:12Pull up.

20:13Can Danny Sikowski finish off P-Nasty?

20:16The finals of LFG.

20:17Nasty has been in this hold for a long, long time.

20:21Panina now.

20:22Trying to navigate her way.

20:23Puts the count.

20:24He's a tap.

20:25Panina taps.

20:26Danny won.

20:27Panina taps.

20:29Started out really good.

20:31Finished okay.

20:32The middle there was a little.

20:34I got a little too excited about it.

20:36It's me.

20:38Wow.

20:39How great that must feel.

20:41There you see the family that you were talking about in the front row that added pressure

20:47for both these women.

20:49But as we've said time and time again, it's not just about the victory.

20:54Let's go back.

20:55Hell's Gate was cinched in.

20:57A move that The Undertaker, I would say, passed down to Danny that she has used time and time

21:03again, there you see the tap, there you see the victory of the match.

21:08But was it enough?

21:10That, Jeremy, is the question.

21:12You did it.

21:22You literally did it.

21:23It's over.

21:26It's so crazy.

21:27I'm very blessed.

21:30I think that I deserve to be right here where I am.

21:33I earned this position.

21:34And I think the performance I put out there is just enough to get me that contract.

21:39It's nasty season.

21:40And I know this one is mine.

21:42I know it.

21:45Hi.

21:46Hi.

21:48What did you think?

21:49Good job.

21:52I'm so proud of you.

21:54Were you okay?

21:55No.

21:56No.

21:57I didn't really watch.

21:58Sorry.

21:59I'm walking.

22:01I'm on my feet.

22:04You didn't watch?

22:05A little bit.

22:06I teased.

22:06I watched a little bit.

22:07I did.

22:08I teased.

22:10With an emotional women's match in the books, it's now the men's turn to take center stage

22:16in Houston.

22:17It's Shiloh Hill versus Harwam Lewis.

22:20Two alpha males ready to lock horns.

22:23But only one man will earn an NXT contract.

22:26This one here is going to be what OJR would call a slobber knocker.

22:31LFG season two finals continuing here on A&E.

22:36The following contest is scheduled for one call.

22:45Introducing first, Riffy Denny, team, the 13th, Parlam Lewis.

22:53These guys have been neck and neck all season long.

23:00It's who shows up tonight.

23:03That's right.

23:03It all comes down to this.

23:05The two top dogs here on LFG.

23:07Who will step up and impress Shawn Michaels and the legends?

23:10Our final match to determine who makes it to NXT.

23:13Karlam Lewis, Shiloh Hill, next.

23:20Welcome back to the LFG finals.

23:23On his way to the ring, looking for redemption, looking for an NXT contract.

23:27It's Shiloh Hill.

23:29And his opponent representing Team Undertaker, Shiloh Hill.

23:45I'll tell you right there, I feel a lot.

23:46You can apologize after this match.

23:48I got no problem with that.

23:50I got no problem with that.

23:51I like this.

23:52I like this boy, man.

23:55He said, he said, book never apologize.

23:57This one is going to be fun.

24:04Well, it's going to be fun for us to watch.

24:06But I think for everyone, including the referee, it's a fasten your seat belt.

24:11And hang on for dear life because these two do not like each other whatsoever.

24:18Yeah, very well documented.

24:19And look, when it comes to Shiloh Hill, two years now in the finals.

24:23He has to be more prepared heading into this second season finale.

24:27Well, he has to know what's going on in terms of the pressure and being familiar with that

24:31level of pressure when you're this stage in the contest of LFG.

24:35But make no mistake about it.

24:37You're not going to see anything as far as butterflies or trepidation from Harlem Lewis.

24:44You certainly will not.

24:45Is Lewis somewhat of a surprise to you here as we enter into this season two finale?

24:51I have to be honest.

24:51No.

24:52He's not a surprise that he's here.

24:53It's not a surprise that he's made it this far.

24:54It's not a surprise that Michelle McCool picked him or rather Booker T picked him right out

24:59of the gate in the first round of the LFG draft after Shiloh Hill on the team of The Undertaker.

25:06And as we've seen through the course of this, Booker T saw something in this man at the very

25:10early stages.

25:11And make no mistake about it, Booker T has an eye for talent.

25:14Look at the body shots and how things are being turned around.

25:16Hill charging right in.

25:17Big.

25:17Shot right to the breadbasket.

25:22Wow.

25:22Well, I mean, that'll intimidate anybody.

25:24And you talk about the dark web.

25:25That is something that we've learned about Shiloh Hill.

25:27He will go to deep, deep, dark states of his mind.

25:31And now Hill.

25:32Change of the momentum early on in the matchup.

25:35Up over and flying to the outside.

25:38And look, I want to ask you this when it comes to Shiloh Hill.

25:40This is his second trip to the finals.

25:42What happens if he comes up short this year?

25:44Well, you have to regroup, rethink, and refocus.

25:47And that's what Shiloh Hill did at the end of the first season of LFG.

25:50Now, with The Undertaker in a second round of this journey, you know the confidence is there.

25:57And you can see it in Shiloh Hill.

26:00All of the guys popped out of his head on that one.

26:02I wonder where he learned that one from.

26:04Damn, thievery.

26:06Little Undertaker 101 with that leg drop from Shiloh Hill.

26:10Go with what works.

26:11Why not?

26:11Shiloh Hill has done that from the get-go.

26:13And with The Undertaker's tutelage along the way.

26:16You know, and of course, the same with Booker T.

26:18His tutelage with Harlem Lewis.

26:20Been very effective.

26:21That's why these two are here right now.

26:22That's why they're in the finals of LFG.

26:24Lewis put on the brakes for a moment.

26:27He's able to get that up and down.

26:28Nice counter and a gnarly landing to the outside.

26:31And that's the heads-up ring awareness of Harlem Lewis.

26:34Able to take his opponent to the floor.

26:35And remember what happened last time these two were on the floor together?

26:38A count-out here on LFG with a brawl went all the way to the back.

26:42And these two are, as I said before, very competitive.

26:46Oh!

26:47Look, they also both know what happened with Jasper Troy.

26:51Someone you were talking about earlier.

26:52He won season one.

26:53His second match in NXT is...

26:56Harlem Lewis right now, the referee is going to count him ten.

26:59I hope he knew that there is some authority in this matchup.

27:02It is our head official in NXT.

27:04But once season one, second match was for the NXT Championship.

27:08Shooting the half into the cover, hook of the leg in a near fall.

27:11Within six weeks, Jasper Troy was on a premium live event.

27:14And Harlem Lewis wants his name.

27:17Up in the lights.

27:18Into another cover and another kick out.

27:20And he might be checking for a couple more knocked-out teeth as Shiloh Hill.

27:23Let's take a look at this again, by the way.

27:27That's an apology.

27:29He might need to send him some flowers for that one.

27:33A fruit passer.

27:37Harlem Lewis right now.

27:38Oh!

27:39Nice backbreaker.

27:41Connecting.

27:42Get up!

27:43Get up!

27:44And Lewis has been barking all match long.

27:50And now hoisting up Shiloh Hill.

27:52Inside cradle.

27:54Shoulders down.

27:55Whew!

27:56So close.

27:58Duck in the clothesline.

27:59Right back in Shiloh Hill.

28:00Big neckbreaker.

28:02And you talk about an evolution of an athlete.

28:04That is Shiloh Hill, who picks up the win in the finals.

28:09Here is your winner, Shiloh Hill!

28:15Confidence has to be running at an all-time high for Shiloh Hill.

28:20Take nothing away from Harlem Lewis in this final battle here on season two.

28:25But only one man will earn the prestigious contract.

28:30Let's go back to some of the action.

28:32Look at that, Shiloh Hill!

28:33Bam!

28:33Incredible neckbreaker.

28:36Putting the finishing touches on Harlem Lewis.

28:39But now the question is, Shawn Michaels, a decision to make that will change the lives

28:46of all four of these individuals that have made it to the finals of Legends and Future Greats.

28:52Whose life will change?

28:54Who will earn themselves a contract to NXT here on LMG?

29:00Let's go again.

29:01Let's go again.

29:02Let's go again.

29:03I feel good.

29:06Like, I feel ready to go.

29:07This is fun.

29:07Like, I feel like I'm comfortable now.

29:09You know what I mean?

29:10And I feel like every time you go in front of, like, a bigger and bigger crowd, it probably

29:13gets more and more fun and easier and easier.

29:15So, turning in the right direction and really excited by how everything went.

29:18Shawn Michaels meets with the Legends for the final LFG deliberation.

29:35All right.

29:37All right.

29:41This is it.

29:42Season 2 finale of LFG.

29:47Shawn, you have a huge decision to make here tonight.

29:50You're going to tell us which male and which female will be awarded an NXT contract and

29:56who will become the newest members of the NXT roster.

29:59Before we get to your decision, let's hear final words about the women from the Legends.

30:07Bubba Ray, I'm going to start with you.

30:09Both women have definitely taken steps forward from Season 1 to Season 2.

30:15I've definitely seen the confidence in Penina, and I've really seen the confidence and the

30:21growth in Danny in the second half of this season.

30:27What I need, I need the dog.

30:29I need the dog in you.

30:30I need you to be aggressive.

30:32Come on, there you go.

30:35If I had to put somebody on TV tomorrow like Shawn possibly has to do, I'm going to go with

30:41Danny.

30:41I agree with what Bubba said, but then on the other hand, I look at Penina and she's

30:47just seemed like she's taken off, seemed like she's found her stride.

30:52Unanimous decision.

30:54Congratulations, Penina.

30:55And you're extra stupid because you think you're about to take Season 2 from P-Nasty.

31:00Season 2, she seemed like she's already declared herself the winner.

31:03That's just the way I see it with Penina, and just on the way we got a chance to see,

31:07I got to go with Penina.

31:08Penina, anytime she comes in, she makes a statement.

31:11Man, she's unique.

31:13She's unique, and I've said that from day one, too.

31:15Her presence, the aura she brings, the energy she brings, she's got this striking, striking

31:20beauty that captivates you, and you really can't take your eyes off of her.

31:24And for that reason, the consistency and the growth that she continuously showed week in,

31:28week out, I've got to go with my girl Penina.

31:31Both Danny and Penina showed amazing growth this season.

31:38I think the more polished of the two right now would be Danny.

31:48Okay, let's bring out Danny and Penina.

31:51I'm walking into a room with four legends and Shawn Michaels, with a contract in his hand,

32:02and it has the odds to go to me or my opponent.

32:07Well, ladies?

32:08I was for sure nervous.

32:11I was very confident, you know, in myself, and what I did tonight was enough.

32:15And I was just hoping that they saw the same.

32:18You both need to be extremely proud of what you accomplished this year.

32:23Danny, I know that you came into this season with a chip on your shoulder and a lot to prove,

32:28and you're here today because you did that.

32:34Penina, your growth this year has been absolutely unbelievable, but we can only have one.

32:42The reality of this is I have to find a woman who can step right in

32:47and be a part of the best women's division in all of wrestling.

32:53So for that reason, the winner of this year's LFG is you, Danny.

33:00Congratulations.

33:05I didn't think I was going to get emotional at all, but obviously the tears started rolling.

33:10Being handed that contract, to me, proves that every bit of work

33:15and push through that I've gone through is worth it.

33:19The little girl inside of me was strong enough to do it.

33:23And I know that this is just the start for me.

33:27I was heartbroken, but it's okay, because I ain't no Cinderella.

33:31I don't need no perfect ending.

33:33I'll write it myself, so.

33:35Close this chapter.

33:35Y'all keep the pen.

33:37Penina's ain't done yet.

33:37All right, and now it's time for the gentlemen.

33:43When it comes to Shiloh in Harlem, Undertaker, who's taking season two?

33:49Both those guys all season long, every opportunity they had, they took advantage of.

33:53They're both incredibly intense, but still completely opposite.

33:59I'm going to show Booker exactly why he drafted me for number one,

34:01and that's because I'm going to go get that point every single week.

34:03And I'm that dog, and when people start barking, I start biting.

34:06When people start hitting, I start hitting back.

34:09Shiloh's continued to grow from season one to season two.

34:12He's had his foot on the gas.

34:14I think Shiloh.

34:16I think both those guys are ready.

34:18I think we've seen matches that they've put on together that could be on any show,

34:22to be honest with you.

34:23There's something that I've liked about Harlem since day one.

34:34He is so intense that he often scares me, to be honest with you.

34:37But the intensity he brings in the ring, and it's just so believable.

34:41With that Harlem Lewis standout mail for the day.

34:51I think for that reason, I would choose Harlem.

34:55You know, Sean, when I look at Shiloh and Harlem in season two, it's a complete tie to me.

35:03I think Harlem could use more time developing so he doesn't have that hard-ass look on his face,

35:10and maybe learn how to communicate a little better with his fellow worker.

35:15So I'm going to go with Shiloh Hill.

35:18Book, where you at, my man?

35:19You look like you're puzzled there.

35:20I am a little bit, you know what I mean?

35:22Because I'm looking for a guy, you know, that's intense, that's got that look on his face,

35:27and people wondering what he's thinking.

35:30I give Shiloh a whole lot of credit.

35:32He did a hell of a job in his season two.

35:34But then I look at someone like Harlem Lewis, who has the innate ability to be able to learn this,

35:38and learn it, not just learn it, but learn it very, very quickly.

35:41So, in essence, I got to give my vote to Harlem Lewis.

35:45Let's bring out Shiloh in Harlem.

35:51All of season two has led to this moment right now,

35:53and it's actually, like, for the first time in the season, I will say, like, I was almost uncomfortable.

35:59My heart was beating for sure.

36:01I was way more nervous walking into that room to find out what was going to happen

36:06than I was for any match or promo all season.

36:12The final moments of the LFG competition have arrived.

36:17And our two remaining finalists wait to find out which of them has earned an NXT contract.

36:22Here you are in the finals.

36:28For you, a second time.

36:32Harlem, you came into this late,

36:35but everybody here has raved about the development that you've had in such a short time.

36:42And the one thing, I don't know if you noticed it tonight,

36:46but when you walked out there, there was a palpable gasp.

36:52They were intimidated.

36:54You are one scary-looking son of a bitch when you look pissed off.

36:59And that, my friend, is money.

37:03Don't ever lose that look because it works.

37:05Shiloh, you have put in the time, the effort, the work.

37:16You have grown exponentially, as all of the legends have talked about.

37:22The reality is, I need somebody that I can plug in to the NXT system

37:29that people will look at and be intimidated by.

37:36He may not be as intimidating as this man right now.

37:45But you're still pretty damn crazy-looking.

37:48Congratulations.

37:50Wow.

37:55Bloody.

37:57Stop being me.

38:00It's a cool feeling, man.

38:01Like, to physically feel it in my hands

38:03was just a crazy, like, weight lifted off my shoulder.

38:06And obviously, at the same time, it's really the start of a lot of work,

38:10and it's going to be weight put on my shoulders,

38:12but that's the weight that I feel like I'm ready to carry,

38:14and I'm excited to carry.

38:18Good job.

38:19My heart sank.

38:20For a split second, I was angry.

38:22Like, I was confused a little bit.

38:24I was, you know, I was mad, but I have this little switch in me

38:28that flips pretty fast.

38:29That makes me realize, well, the job's still not finished then,

38:31and it's time to run it back,

38:34because no matter what I have to do, like,

38:36I will get an NXT contract.

38:38I do have to say thank you all so much for the time and the effort

38:48that you put in to our young talent here.

38:51the bond and the closeness that you have with these talent

38:57goes such a long way.

39:00You can see the influence that each and every one of you have on them,

39:04and you understand how much your words and your guidance mean to them.

39:10So thank you all very much for that.

39:11But I'm sure none of you are concerned about that.

39:17You want to know who...

39:18Spit it out.

39:20...is the LFG champion.

39:23This is my...

39:24And I know, Book, all season long,

39:30Booker felt like the fix was in.

39:33Oh, it was. It was.

39:34There was kind of an LFG screwjob going on.

39:37You know, you know.

39:38But Taker, once again, the defending champion,

39:41but just like the streak,

39:44Dead Man.

39:46Oh!

39:48Everything has to come to an end.

39:52And the good news is,

39:54at least it's going to stay in the family.

39:57Oh!

39:59Ladies and gentlemen, our new LFG...

40:04...fixes in the shell...

40:07...whoa!

40:08Look at that name.

40:08...whoa!

40:09Wow!

40:10Wow!

40:11It matches your camo.

40:13All of your outfits.

40:14This is great.

40:18Look...

40:20...how beautiful...

40:22...this is.

40:23This is what my team earned me.

40:25They helped bring this home to the right side of the bed.

40:28Congratulations to Season 2 LFG Champion, Michelle McCall!

40:35Woo!

40:37I don't understand, man, what my life is going to be like now.

40:44I took two.

40:45Why don't we have to talk about that?

40:47We got two contracts.

40:49It was a journey, and I feel like it's given me so much confidence in myself

40:53and so much confidence in being able to handle whatever's thrown at me,

40:56on NSD and beyond.

40:59Woo!

41:02LFG has brought out the performer in me again.

41:06Woo-hoo!

41:08Yeah!

41:10Was that his idea?

41:13The work really does begin for those two, right?

41:17Now they have to go to the NXT roster and make a name for themselves all over again.

41:26Yeah!

41:27That's all!

41:28You'reSobookie!

41:29You're good.

41:30Now that this is your eye.

41:31It is a very important meeting.

41:32Now it's the name of your Dad.

41:33Not just for you.

41:34You just heard me introduce yourself.

41:35I just heard it.

41:36I enjoyed saying it.

41:37You're right!

41:38I don't know.

41:39You're right!

41:40And I know why you're right!

41:41You're right!

41:42It's just a very important meeting.

41:43I don't know.

41:44You're right!

41:45I don't know.

41:46You're right!

41:47I don't know!

41:48You're right!
