It’s finals week on WWE LFG, and the final four—Tyra Mae Steele, Shiloh Hill, Jasper Troy, and Zena Sterling—are packing their bags for Madison Square Garden. Before they go, we spend some time with each finalist at home. Tyra Mae stretches in a sauna as she reflects on winning Olympic gold in an empty arena and now aiming to claim victory at the world's most famous area. Zena Sterling battles through injury but remains determined to compete, revealing that her ring gear is designed by her mother, a fashion designer. Jasper shows off his gear as well, sharing heartfelt moments with his family. Then there's Shiloh Hill, who’s prepping for the finals in the most Shiloh way possible: chatting with an AI bot he’s named “The Beast.” It’s bizarre, brilliant, and peak Shiloh. With everyone packed and hyped, the group heads to the airport, and next stop—MSG

Before the action kicks off at Madison Square Garden, we catch up with Zena Sterling as she joins Bubba Ray Dudley on the Busted Open Podcast. It’s a candid and insightful conversation that gives us a peek into her mindset heading into the biggest match of her life. Once we arrive at MSG, the atmosphere shifts—this is it. The Future Greats step into the iconic arena, and their excitement is palpable. For all four finalists, this is more than just a match—it's a moment they’ll never forget.

Tensions are high as Tyra Mae Steele and Zena Sterling begin their pre-match warmups. It’s clear Zena is in real pain, her knee giving her trouble with every step. As the two stretch and prepare together, Zena accidentally catches Tyra in the mouth—busting her lip open. Tyra shrugs it off, but promises she’ll get her receipt in the ring. After the mishap, Zena heads to the trainer’s room for final taping and support on her knee, while the men begin their own pre-match routines. With the women set to go on first, the Legends—Booker T., Bubba Ray Dudley, Mickie James, and The Undertaker—deliver final words of encouragement to all four finalists. Just before the commercial break, the Legends make their way ringside. The moment is finally here.

Match 1: Tyra Mae Steele vs. Zena Sterling
Zena Sterling makes her entrance first, soaking in the energy of Madison Square Garden with poise and confidence. Tyra Mae Steele follows, matching the moment with a fiery presence of her own. Both women clearly understand the gravity of what’s at stake—and they're each determined to make history. (For what it's worth, Zena’s entrance was my favorite—stylish, dramatic, and full of heart). Their mentors—The Undertaker and Bubba Ray Dudley—offer some final words of wisdom, then the bell rings and it’s go time. Tyra takes early control, using her power and technique to set the tone. But Zena battles back quickly, showing grit and precision as she strings together offense and racks up a couple near falls. The tide seems to be in Zena’s favor—until Tyra whips her hard into the corner. Zena crashes awkwardly, clutching her knee. The injury has officially come back to haunt her. Back from the break, Tyra is laser-focused—targeting Zena’s injured knee with ruthless precision. It’s stiff, deliberate storytelling, and you can feel every stomp and twist. Zena fights through the pain, trying to build momentum, but Tyra keeps dragging her back down, locking in a brutal single-leg Boston Crab. Zena finally claws her way to the ropes, and the brief reprieve gives her just enough space to fire up. Zena battles back with sheer willpower, stringing together a short burst of offense and even landing a "Scorpion Death Drop" for a dramatic near fall. The crowd is back on their feet as she nearly steals it. Tyra regains control with an ankle lock, but Zena counters into a surprise pin attempt. She then goes for her signature "Tilt-A-Whirl", but Tyra escapes at the last second and catches her in a tight headlock right in the center of the ring. With nowhere to go, Zena is forced to tap. Tyra Mae Steele gets the win—but both women leave the ring having proved they belong..

Match 2: Shiloh Hill vs. Jasper Troy
Shiloh enters Madison Square Garden practically bouncing with excitement—his energy infectious and his smile unwavering. In contrast, Jasper Troy stalks to the ring like a man on a mission—stoic, intense, and fully locked in. The bell rings, and it’s a classic clash of styles: Jasper’s raw power against Shiloh’s speed and agility. Shiloh darts around the ring, slipping behind Jasper and catching him in a deep headlock that keeps the powerhouse grounded. It’s a clever approach that gives Shiloh early momentum, but Jasper eventually powers out. The action spills to the outside, where Shiloh rams Jasper into the ring post before both men return to the ring. That’s when Jasper turns the tide—flattening Shiloh with a series of big splashes and a devastating running powerslam. Now in full control, Jasper demands Shiloh get up before hammering him with heavy strikes. Shiloh is locked in an abdominal stretch but fights free and attempts a powerslam of his own—only for Jasper to fall right on top of him. Shiloh fires up, sending Jasper into the corner and punishing him with a burst of offense before finally landing a massive powerslam for a near fall. Shiloh lands a few solid shots on the apron and heads to the top rope, connecting with a rough-looking bulldog for another close two count. But in the end, Jasper Troy absorbs it all, catches Shiloh mid-motion, and plants him with a thunderous Boss Man Slam to secure the pinfall victory.

With both matches in the books, it's time for the moment everyone’s been waiting for. Shawn Michaels sits down with the Legends to make the toughest decision of the season: choosing which two Future Greats have earned NXT contracts. Before the verdict is revealed, we head into one final commercial break—tension high and dreams hanging in the balance.

Before the big decision is made, there's one last announcement: The Undertaker is named the inaugural LFG Champion and presented with a custom title belt—an honor befitting a true legend who’s guided the next generation every step of the way. Then it’s time. Shawn Michaels steps forward to reveal who has earned their WWE NXT contracts. First, the women. Tyra Mae Steele is officially awarded an NXT contract. Shawn calls her performance undeniable, but he makes it clear that this isn’t the end for Zena Sterling—telling her, and the world, that every Legend in the room sees a future WWE Superstar in her. Next up, the men. Shawn gives honest assessments—praising Shiloh Hill for his growth, charisma, and show-stealing presence, while noting that Jasper Troy still has maturing to do. Yet despite the critique, it’s Jasper Troy who receives the second NXT contract, bringing our season to a dramatic and emotional close.

I can’t wait for the next season of LFG, and I’m hoping both of our winners show up this Tuesday on WWE NXT. Personally, I’m just as excited to see what’s next for all of the Future Greats—they’ve made this season unforgettable. Thank you, WWE —LFG💥

Summary: S01E15

The final episode of WWE Legends: Future Greats delivered exactly what fans hoped for: heart, drama, and standout performances at Madison Square Garden. The four finalists—Tyra Mae Steele, Zena Sterling, Shiloh Hill, and Jasper Troy—each brought their unique stories, personalities, and grit to the biggest stage of their lives.

The episode opened with an emotional look at the finalists at home. Tyra reflected on her journey from Olympic gold to WWE dreams. Zena pushed through injury with the help of her fashion-designer mother. Jasper shared tender moments with family, while Shiloh—ever the wildcard—prepared by chatting with his AI assistant “The Beast.” From there, the tone shifted as they arrived at MSG, and the pressure became real.

Zena’s pre-match moment with Bubba Ray Dudley on Busted Open Radio gave fans a deeper understanding of her mindset. Backstage, we saw Tyra and Zena warming up—an accidental lip busting moment creating just a bit of tension before Zena headed to the trainer to get her knee taped. The Legends offered final pep talks, and it was time to begin.

In Match 1, Tyra and Zena stole the show with storytelling, stiffness, and emotion. Zena pushed through pain, but Tyra targeted her injured knee and eventually forced a tap-out with a headlock. Both women elevated each other, and the respect was clear.

Match 2 brought Shiloh’s heart and speed versus Jasper’s power and rage. Shiloh nearly pulled off the upset with clever strategy and passionate offense, but in the end, Jasper’s dominance won out after a crushing Boss Man Slam.

Before the final verdict, The Undertaker was named the inaugural LFG Champion—a symbolic passing of the torch moment. Then Shawn Michaels revealed the winners: Tyra Mae Steele and Jasper Troy earned NXT contracts. Still, the Legends made it clear—Zena Sterling and Shiloh Hill are stars in the making, and this isn’t the end of their stories.

As we look ahead to what’s next—whether on NXT or another season of LFG—one thing’s for sure: the Future Greats have arrived.
