00:06For 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.
00:28How about that 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!
00:54But 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, Michelle McCool.
01:16Thank 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.
01:53But 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.
02:10We're going to have a draft, but it's only fair that our newest member, Michelle, you will get the first
02:18pick.
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's 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.
02:50All 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.
03:09Booker 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.
03:26Welcome 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 camera.
03:46Can you dig that sucker?
03:50A chance to win an NXT contract.
03:54Every legend has a first chapter, and the future starts now.
03:59I'm a future great team of WrestleMania.
04:05LFG!
04:06LFG!
04:08LFG!
04:11LFG!
04:12LFG!
04:14LFG!
04:15LFG!
04:17LFG!
04:18LFG!
04:19LFG!
04:20LFG!
04:21LFG!
04:22Well, welcome in ringside.
04:23Vic Joseph alongside Jeremy Borash.
04:26Jeremy, are you ready for this?
04:28Season 2 underway.
04:29And it's time to sink or swim.
04:32It's been several weeks since Tyra Mays steal one LFG.
04:36Now, she prepares for her debut match against an NXT superstar.
04:41I think she's going to give me a little bit of a climb, but no mountain I can't conquer.
04:45So, I think the lioness is about to devour her.
04:49That's what I think.
04:51Fortunately for Tyra, a WWE legend is there for her.
04:55How do you feel?
04:57I feel good.
04:58You feel ready?
04:59I feel ready.
04:59Yeah?
05:00I'm a little nervous, but I'm always nervous.
05:01Well, if you don't feel nervous, you shouldn't be doing this, right?
05:03Facts.
05:04Yes.
05:05Every match should mean something to you.
05:07Yes.
05:11I wonder what we're going to see out of the gate here from Tyra Mays steal.
05:14So, obviously, the victory winning Season 1 of LFG with a big confidence boost.
05:19She is going in there with a pound-for-pound killer, so to speak, in Nikita Lyons.
05:26Really just, you know, the hard work now begins, because being on the NXT roster, being a member of the
05:33NXT roster means you need to be at your best every time out, and you need to really dedicate your
05:39life, because that track, that trajectory for you, you can reach that top.
05:46You can get to the top of the mountain for NXT, and then go to Raw, then go to SmackDown.
05:51You've succeeded in this industry.
05:52It's LFG Universe.
05:54There would have been a bundle of energy screaming at the top of their lungs if Steele was able to
05:59pull off the victory.
06:00She's all the way to the top, looking down.
06:02No one there on the high cross body, and that could be the difference maker here in this matchup.
06:08Lions, looking to pounce.
06:12Trying to, whoa, nice roll through.
06:14Cover, count!
06:15Steele got her!
06:16Steele got her!
06:18Very impressive.
06:19Here's your winner, Tyra Mae Steele!
06:26That certainly is a momentum-building victory for the newest NXT superstar, Tyra Mae Steele.
06:40I was there for it.
06:42Here, I get the Olympics every single day.
06:47Boos, cheers, chants, all of it, and I'm here for it!
06:51Yes!
06:53That should have been my spot.
06:56Season two, you're going to see a lot more aggression and a lot more just less of the ditsiness.
07:03I'm just ready to show on the side of Zena that is going to win this competition.
07:08Tonight, Jasper Troy makes his NXT television debut.
07:13Jasper, Tyra's season one co-winner, is immediately thrown into the deep waters of NXT's roster, where it's every man
07:20for himself.
07:25I don't know if Dante Chen is 100% ready for what he's about to face.
07:30Listen, Dante Chen is a young man with a ton of potential.
07:33I think he lacks the killer instinct necessary to make it to the top, but we're about to find out.
07:39You're a big guy, play the big guy role.
07:41All right?
07:42Smash it.
07:43All right?
07:43Do it like it's supposed to be done.
07:45Make him bow down and bend the damn knee.
07:48You feel me?
07:50Here's the winner of season one of LFG, Jasper Troy!
07:59Booker, you were his coach.
08:01What are we about to see?
08:04A man that's looking to change the whole name of the game.
08:09He's that monster.
08:11That's M-O-U-N-S-T-E-R.
08:15That monster.
08:16300 pounds.
08:17A romping, stomping, grave digging, destruction.
08:21Jack.
08:22Yes, man.
08:23This guy is serious about making a statement in this business.
08:28Booker, and again, it was Troy who told Ava he was going to make an immediate impact.
08:32And he certainly did.
08:34And he's already made an impact on LFG going out there and just wasting away the competition
08:39the way he did.
08:41But now he's looking to make an even bigger impact here at NXT.
08:46Hoisting up and overpowering.
08:49And whoa, I spoke too soon.
08:51Go ahead.
08:51DDT from Dante.
08:53And Troy coming right back.
08:57Baby, don't do it like that, baby.
09:00And following it up with a black hole slam.
09:05Troy 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,
09:24your five seconds are over.
09:30Well, Ova will see Jasper at some point.
09:40You know, jokingly, I'm going to say, like, oh, it's an honor to, you know, share the ring
09:45or even be approached by the champ.
09:46But at the same time, like, this is my competition.
09:48It's two big dogs, and it's my time to eat.
09:52It'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.
10:01As Jasper and Tyra begin their NXT careers,
10:04a new chapter starts in LFG,
10:07where 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.
10:17The legends are competing for bragging rights and the LFG championship,
10:22while the future greats are all competing for an NXT contract.
10:28With the start of a new season,
10:30there'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,
10:51and then we will have the first ever LFG draft.
10:56So 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,
11:16but this is pure 100% alligator leather,
11:21an alligator that I jumped on on my own,
11:23the wrong place at the wrong time,
11:26but now I get to show them off.
11:29I think when you look at me,
11:31you see a bubbly, happy, smiley blonde girl,
11:34but I'm not anything like the other blondes here.
11:37It's easy to be one of many,
11:40but I really want to be one of one.
11:42I'm more confident,
11:44and I'm just better.
11:49Plain 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, but, you know,
11:57the main thing I love is wrestling.
11:59New future great Trill London is a former NFL defensive back
12:02who's following a childhood dream.
12:05You 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.
12:12Hayes 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.
12:25If I'm being honest,
12:27I have a little bit of a different approach for season two.
12:29I think I let people walk all over me in season one.
12:33You know, I think I got a little bit complacent with my performance.
12:36And so this season,
12:38I have a hope to be on a specific coach's team,
12:42that coach's undertaker.
12:43I want to work with him
12:44because I think he's most suitable to toughen my skin.
12:46And I think with my size and just my background,
12:49that's exactly what I need.
12:51Hey, easy.
12:54Elijah, up, head up.
12:57Head up, don't trick your head.
12:59Yeah, 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.
13:24I don't see it, though.
13:26Do you?
13:28Everybody that I've seen in this business
13:30that go out there and try to be the rock,
13:33not one of them have succeeded.
13:36You got to be you.
13:39Do you think I look like anybody?
13:42It doesn't matter what you think.
13:45All right, now we can get serious.
13:47I think I look like Anthony Luke.
13:49That's what I think I look like.
13:51This season, it's either win or bust.
13:55Benita, as well, to really be able to put my stamp on these two
13:59and really take them to that next level.
14:03I'm sitting back and looking for how serious they're taking it.
14:07Are you laughing?
14:08Are you giggling?
14:09Or are you taking these very basic drills seriously
14:13from the moment you step in a ring?
14:16That's exactly what I'm saying.
14:18Give me some rhythm, man.
14:20I need you to see some rhythm.
14:23Come here.
14:26Talking a little bit.
14:27Talking a little bit.
14:29Down over the top.
14:31Just, not your ass.
14:33Not your ass.
14:36Since Undertaker has the last pick in the draft,
14:39it's time for some mind games.
14:41We'll do whatever it takes to ensure that his star pupil
14:44is still on the board when he picks.
14:46I can tell you who didn't impress me day one.
14:51Shiloh Hill.
14:52The guy that lost season one by that much.
14:57Shiloh did not have his head in the game at all.
15:01Come on to Shiloh right now.
15:02I don't know what he's thinking.
15:04Look at Shiloh.
15:05What the f***?
15:06What'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.
15:17How so?
15:18The hell's got into him.
15:23Slow as s***.
15:26Shiloh went to the finals.
15:28You know, I don't, I mean, I know what Shiloh can do.
15:31He didn't need to go out there and risk injury.
15:33Like I said, they need to get some rhythm, man.
15:35They, right now, they practicing like they, like they would play.
15:40Practice how you play.
15:41That's one of my book-isms.
15:43And it means you have to train, like, when you go into the fight.
15:48Y'all hear all this f***ing chatter going on.
15:50They're too happy.
15:51See what I'm saying?
15:52Yo, guys, hold on a second.
15:54Hold on a second.
15:55What the f*** is all this chatter about?
15:58I'm dead serious now.
16:00I'm serious.
16:00Just the first frickin' day.
16:03And y'all are acting like this is a frickin' game.
16:05You don't want to f***ing win.
16:06Just say you don't want to win.
16:08You got to practice like you're going to play.
16:10If you guys are chattering, that's the way you're going to get in the ring.
16:14You're going to get in the ring, playing around.
16:15Like, it's a game.
16:17I always want to be the best guy in the locker room.
16:19Preparation is the only luck I'm ever going to have.
16:22Seriously.
16:24So wake up and take this s*** serious.
16:28Booker got upset with us because this is our job.
16:31This is how I'm going to feed my family.
16:32This is how they feed their family.
16:33So we have to take it with the utmost seriousness.
16:36All right, come on.
16:37Don't get caught up in all this bulls***.
16:40Tell him you had a f*** with me, man.
16:42Trust me.
16:43Absolutely.
16:43Take care.
16:49This year, I'm here to win it all, man.
16:50Here to take the things I've learned in the first season and apply them here.
16:58You know, it's competition.
16:59It doesn't matter who it is.
17:00They all fooled to me and they all got to get eight.
17:03Elijah is truly a prodigy.
17:06Everything that he does is just explosive.
17:11Right now, I've got my eye on a few people.
17:14Harlem is super aggressive.
17:16You can't teach that.
17:20Who last point?
17:21Of course, Zena's a favorite.
17:22Surprised everybody last year.
17:24I love a good little underdog story.
17:26But now she seems to be the one to beat.
17:32Professional wrestling is a unique form of competition.
17:35It's the only sport where two competitors must cooperate with each other and work as a team.
17:41Because if they don't, the results could be catastrophic.
17:47Oh!
17:49Deal.
17:50This 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.
18:04That was scary.
18:07In the moment, as soon as I left the air, I knew something wasn't right.
18:11It's my fault.
18:13You're good.
18:13You're good.
18:15You're good.
18:16You're good.
18:17Take a breath.
18:18Take a breath.
18:18You're good.
18:19I think there was just a lot of miscommunication.
18:21And I take full responsibility for my fundamentals.
18:26She took accountability for it.
18:28That's all I could ask for.
18:29And it's not like she meant to drop me out of my head.
18:31So what's the point of getting mad?
18:33Maybe I don't look as tough as I am.
18:35But it's going to take a lot more than falling out of my head a couple times to get me
18:39to break.
18:42Oh!
18:45Oh, s***.
18:46We got to work on that.
18:47We'll work on it.
18:48We'll get there.
18:49We'll get there.
18:52Following the combine, the legends meet to discuss who they'll want to see wrestle before the draft.
18:58Will, 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 going to pick Chris Island and Harlem also.
19:07Chris Island and Harlem.
19:08Is that good?
19:08I want to see Harlem.
19:09His aggression was crazy.
19:11Crazy.
19:12He didn't kind of catch my eye, too.
19:13All right, real talk.
19:15Panina versus Danny.
19:17And then I want to see Harlem versus Chris Island.
19:20Y'all ready to let them know?
19:21Let's do it.
19:22Let's do it.
19:22All right, let's get it.
19:27My name is Panina Twilapa.
19:31Y'all know me as P-Nasty.
19:35The reason why they call me P-Nasty, I've been standing and squabbling up, getting grimy, tossing girls around.
19:44These other future great wannabes think that they got a chance at the contract, they out of their damn mind.
19:52Because they too damn soft and too damn nice.
19:57Ain't nobody as tough and ain't nobody as nasty as P-Nasty.
20:04And right here, I'm speaking facts.
20:07So if anybody thinks that they got a chance, come get your issue.
20:24Good, Nina.
20:26No one, and I mean no one, in this competition has questioned your toughness or your power.
20:35Nina, I was an NFL cheerleader for the Tennessee Titans.
20:38And you are tougher and more intimidating than over half of the NFL players I've met.
20:47The odds have always been stacked against me.
20:53As far as I'm concerned, this LFG competition is wide open.
20:59So, Nina, may the best woman walk away with that contract.
21:05The night before the LFG draft, one legendary coach gives Danny Sikalski some last-minute advice before her match.
21:13That'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.
21:26I tell stories.
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.
21:41But our characters are polar opposites of each other.
21:44And 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.
22:02Danny, I'm sorry, but you're going to feel everything.
22:04That's Danny Sikalski.
22:06I just spoke with her moments before she came out here.
22:08She said, I am sick of being underestimated.
22:11I am going to show what I can do in season two.
22:15And no one is going to get in my way.
22:17Fired up as we kick off things with P. Nasty and Danny Sikalski.
22:23Well, I'm glad you bring up the fact of season two.
22:26Because 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.
22:34But she's also done that in the ring as well.
22:36And she said, look out.
22:37Because in season two, she takes no prisoners.
22:40She's not going to be as nice.
22:41She might not see as many smiles on her face.
22:44And 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.
22:56Heavy 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.
23:04And this is certainly something that we've seen, a growth we've seen since the beginning of season one.
23:09Now into season two.
23:09I said, what is the biggest difference for you, Penina?
23:12She goes, the biggest difference is season one.
23:15I was Penina.
23:16Very friendly.
23:17Very smiley.
23:18Season two, I have P. Nasty.
23:20She says she's done eating Samoan food.
23:23Now she's doing healthy food only.
23:25She is focused in the gym.
23:26She's in there every day.
23:27And this show has inspired a new inspiration in her life and her career.
23:33Before you go back to season one, you talk about Jasper Troy, somebody who came in to season one, then
23:37cut eight, nine, ten percent body fat.
23:40I 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.
23:52You love to see that physical transformation.
23:54And you also, ow, right down.
23:56You love to see that mental transformation as well.
23:59That growth, that measurable growth in their journey led by their coaches.
24:03Now the question is, where are they going to end up?
24:06Where 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
24:15comes to P. Nasty, she's not looking around.
24:17She's much more, how would you say, confident in what she is doing in the ring.
24:22And right now, Dani 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.
24:37Ooh, ooh, ooh.
24:39With this submission, Undertaker gave her the mat in season one.
24:43But look at P. Nasty overpowering the opposition.
24:48Wow.
24:50Hell's Gate turned in to P. Nasty's only.
24:55That's certainly one way to break it, right?
24:58And then bam!
24:59Following it up with an exclamation point into the cover.
25:03P. Nasty picks up the win.
25:07Here's your winner.
25:10Tuna Elba!
25:11P. Nasty 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 would want to argue with P. Nasty after the results of tonight.
25:31Picking up the victory, starting things off on the right foot.
25:35And when it comes to P. Nasty, is this the season?
25:43I don't even care about the grittiness, the toughness.
25:46What I showed out there is that P. Nasty 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.
26:13Where I know I'm smaller, but I know that going into this, I can put up the same fight as
26:17somebody way bigger than me.
26:19I'm going to come in.
26:20I'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.
26:24And 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 beat ass.
26:48That's exactly what I'm here for.
26:50I bring exactly what it's missing.
26:51The 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.
26:56I 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 me 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.
27:11I 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
27:25and 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.
27:31Should be fun.
27:32Chris is fun to work with, so it should be good with Peter.
27:39I have a match with the new Harlem Lewis, brand new to LFG, and honestly, I feel pretty honored
27:46to be trusted with something like that, and I'm going to do it to the best of my ability.
27:49I mean, he's a killer.
27:51He'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
27:59because we're going to deep waters pretty quick.
28:05In the moments before the match, the LFG veteran tests the rookie's heart.
28:10Getting you there.
28:11You can try to help all you want.
28:13You can get back now, huh?
28:14You can get back.
28:14You're the big dog, right?
28:15I guess so.
28:16That's what they said.
28:16We'll see what happens.
28:17I just need to see where he was at.
28:19I need to really see what's inside you, what makes you, what kind of manner you.
28:23I definitely saw that.
28:24He do got that killer in him, and he's a little off, but I'm a little off, too, and he
28:28felt
28:28that, too, so I don't like that.
28:30I don't like those eyes.
28:31No one likes these eyes.
28:33Technically, he's the vet tonight, and I'm the rookie, so I'm just trying to prove to myself
28:36that I can stand up there with him, that I can surpass him.
28:39Trust in the promise of the promised child, and trust that I can take us where we need to
28:43go.
28:44I'm excited for this one.
28:49Chris Arlen!
28:51Well, 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.
28:59Chris Arlen has really won me over in the last several months, especially, and I'll say this,
29:03after not being successful in season one, and 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
29:18as humble this time around in season two.
29:22We'll touch on that in just a moment, but here comes the man you've already talked about.
29:33And his opponent, Harlem Lewis!
29:39I like this guy right here.
29:40Look at him with the eyes.
29:41And 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, Italian football player, not to the, you know, I'm going to say the...
30:03Well, is it football or is it football?
30:04So it's European football.
30:06No, it's American football.
30:08Got it.
30:08In Italy.
30:09And Conor Dolphins, 2024, number one linebacker in the history of the team.
30:14That's where we found him, and then subsequently coming here to WWE, the first to jump from Evolve here to
30:21LFG.
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, but this is that attitude of Chris Island that you
30:34talked about.
30:34And is it safe to say that not winning fueled his fire here in season two, that being Chris Island?
30:41Well, that slap to the face sure fueled the fire of Harlem Lewis early on, and Chris Island really has
30:47to back up what he said.
30:49He'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, that force, the linebacker, the football background, team captain, Moorhead State, Kentucky, for a number of years.
31:08He's 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.
31:19Game 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, especially with the advice of the legends as it unfolds.
31:32Wow!
31:32Look at this offense, using the ropes as a slingshot with that belly to back, and then right on top,
31:40just pouncing and pounding Island into the mat.
31:44I 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.
32:09Oh, who's there?
32:11He's got a lot of attention.
32:14Into the cover, hook of the leg, and a kick out.
32:18To your point, Harlem Lewis coming from Evolve certainly is evolving in front of our own eyes.
32:26Right here, he goes right back on top of Island, continuing to wear Chris down in the center of the
32:32ring.
32:33Well, one thing we've seen from Harlem Lewis thus far is a real intensity.
32:38And 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 where the few of the athletes that they got a little wide-eyed
32:52when the lights got bright.
32:53Lewis into the cover, hook 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.
33:06And to be fair, J.B., 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
33:16feeling, the anxiety, the butterflies the size of Eagles.
33:18And it has come out the gate was Lewis.
33:21Island has weathered the storm.
33:23And now he's throwing some right to the left, going to the body.
33:25Lewis is trying to grab on for dear life.
33:27And now Island trying to take over.
33:29And boom, pouncing right back into this match.
33:32Look here, man.
33:33He's a hustle, hustle.
33:34I like that.
33:35We're seeing an onslaught of offense from Chris Island showing that confidence.
33:39And it is off time.
33:40Really, it's coldest scales in the ring.
33:43And it's showing that confidence here against Harlan Lewis.
33:47Is that confidence what was missing from season one?
33:49I think it's that experience.
33:51We're seeing that growth.
33:52We're seeing that advancement right before our eyes, courtesy of Coach Bloom and the great staff here at the Portland
33:56Center.
33:56Take it.
33:57Oh, wow.
33:58Not so fast.
34:01Big lariat across the throat.
34:03And just when we thought Island was starting to get some momentum, Harlan Lewis just slammed the door shut.
34:10And Harlan Lewis setting him up.
34:12We know about this.
34:14This is called the move.
34:16Locked down.
34:18Chris Island feeling the brunt of that.
34:20And enough to get the victory for Harlan Lewis.
34:23Here is your winner, Harlan Lewis.
34:28And you get the sense from those here, they are stunned and shocked at what they just witnessed.
34:36Well, take a look at this again.
34:37Harlan Lewis delivering.
34:41And picking him up.
34:43The boom slag.
34:44Down goes Chris Island.
34:46Harlan Lewis on top for the cover and the win.
34:49And welcome to LFG Season 2.
34:52Putting the other male competitors, the other male future greats on.
34:57Noah's Harlan Lewis.
34:59Victorious in his LFG debut.
35:04Harlan's first match is a resounding success.
35:08And it inspires reflection on his journey so far.
35:16When you called your mom and told her that you're going to be an LFG, what was her reaction?
35:19She was bawling, crying.
35:22Like, 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 coal on all the doors
35:29and 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
35:36in 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 the, who you wanted to win.
35:44Like, she loves this business.
35:45And I think it's, like, so surreal for her that I'm part of it now.
35:55Damn.
35:59Me 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.
36:24It'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
36:32draft.
36:33Welcome, everyone, to the Season 2 draft of LFG!
36:42Kicking off the picks is going to be the newest member of the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2025
36:50and new to LFG, Michelle McCool!
36:55Woo!
37:00After that, we're going to go on to the other legends.
37:03Bubba Ray, you'll come after Michelle McCool.
37:06From then, we'll go to Booker T, followed by Season 1 LFG winner, The Undertaker!
37:19All right, Michelle.
37:22Everybody wants the first pick.
37:24I 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, wondering who I'm
37:33going to grab.
37:34I 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...
38:00P-Nasty!
38:05P-Nasty!
38:06P-Nasty!
38:09Sorry, Booker!
38:10All right, P-Nasty!
38:12P-Nasty!
38:13I'd like to win.
38:14I'd like to win.
38:15We're going to win.
38:16Yes, ma'am!
38:18Oh, I know.
38:18Okay.
38:19Penina, I've liked her since last season.
38:21I think she's a star.
38:23That did not make Booker T happy.
38:25This is ridiculous.
38:26Mm.
38:27This is ridiculous, right?
38:30I'd be hot.
38:31What's ridiculous?
38:32I mean, come on.
38:32I'd be hot.
38:32All 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.
38:39And now you just come in and just pick up where I left off.
38:43No, no, I mean, that...
38:45I mean, if that ain't just, you know, underhanded as underhanded can be.
38:51And 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.
38:56It's cool.
38:57It'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.
39:10Wow.
39:11He got future endeavors.
39:13I'm in good hands.
39:14Whoa.
39:15I'm in good hands.
39:17Show them, color.
39:18We in good hands.
39:19Wow.
39:19I'm okay.
39:21Penina, see, come on now.
39:22She made the best choice ever.
39:23And I'm going to 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.
39:35I hate losing.
39:36I hate losing more than I like winning.
39:39I know I already ruffled some feathers.
39:42I'm probably going to ruffle more feathers, but I'm okay with ruffling feathers.
39:47And my next pick is a winner.
39:53My first male pick for the draft is Anthony Luke.
40:01I do love you.
40:04I mean, you damn right he's a winner.
40:06You damn right he's a winner.
40:07All the damn work I put in with him.
40:09That's ridiculous.
40:10First rounder.
40:10That's what we do.
40:11Ridiculous.
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 it one bit.
40:22I can promise you that.
40:24My entire life, I've been waiting to get drafted.
40:26Let's go.
40:28Look at this mother.
40:29I mean, I mean, now he's a sellout, too.
40:32I mean, you're selling out, too, huh?
40:34You're selling out, too.
40:35All the damn work I put in with you.
40:37It's all good, but Michelle was just one season for LNG.
40:40You know what?
40:41I know what this is all about.
40:42It's all about.
40:43I get it.
40:44I love my team.
40:46I get it.
40:46Yeah, Lee, I love y'all.
40:47This is a bunch of boys.
40:48Yes, sir.
40:50I wouldn't stand for that.
40:51No, it's ridiculous.
40:53In the moment, I just thought, oh, f***.
40:58I mean, I mean, if anybody can't see what's happening here, I mean, out of all the talent
41:02up here.
41:02What's happening?
41:03I mean, what about Shiloh?
41:04Huh?
41:04What about Holyfield?
41:05You can pick down one of those.
41:06I mean, you looking for a winner.
41:08Of course you're looking for a winner.
41:09All the damn work I put in season one.
41:11I should have won season one, all right?
41:14I should have walked away with the title, but the deck was stacked against me.
41:18Even then, now it's stacked again.
41:20Look, you know what?
41:20I just want y'all to know that this is some bulls***, all right?
41:24That's some bulls***, all right?
41:26This is bulls***, all right?
41:28All right?
41:30What?
41:30I mean, this is some bulls***.
41:31He just named people I could f***.
41:33He can pick them, too.
41:34Come on, man.
41:35You see what's happening here?
41:38This is unreal.
41:42Is he coming back?
41:46Is he gone?
41:49Is he coming back?
41:54Man.
41:58This season on LFG.
42:08You don't have to be good to be over.
42:10No, I'm not.
42:10Prime example of that.
42:12True.
42:13I'm looking at the one.
42:14I'm on park.
42:15I'm on out.
42:15They got it.
42:20I ain't coaching.
42:21I'm worried about him being hurt, man.
42:23Boom.
42:23She's got to go.
42:26One punch, and that's all you're going to need.
42:28I would like to tell you that you're all going to make it.
42:32But you're not.
42:33I don't know.
42:38This season on LFG.
