'AGT: Extreme' Finale: Alfredo Silva's Cage Riders win first edition of NBC reality show

In the end, it came down to a vote between Silva and Wheelz. An electriying stunt from Silva and his crew saw them emerge winners

Even Alfredo Silva wouldn't probably know what to do next after putting on a cracker of a show in the 'America's Got Talent: Extreme' finale. Pitted against Aaron Wheelz, the hotshot biker and his crew performed the same stunt they did earlier on the show but had a massive twist this time around with a fourth rider in the cage instead of three. With that extreme came the added danger, but the crew nailed it and walked away with half a million dollars.

The two-hour finale saw the entire list of contestants Verge Aero, Aaron Wheelz, Alfredo Silva’s Cage Riders, Cyndel Flores, Erika Lemay, Aaron Evans, and Jade Kindar-Martin take the stage and in the end, it came down to a vote between Silva and Wheelz. The latter attempted to do a backflip for his final performance, but couldn't nail the landing in both of his attempts. Highlighting the show though before the stunts were some electric performances from Avril Lavigne and Travis Barker along with a stunt show by judge Travis Pastrana.

The final two acts were each given one last shot to prove themselves before the final judgment. In judge Simon Cowell's eyes, the duo were winners. “After everything that both of you have done, somebody’s got to win, and I can’t wait to hear the results,” he told both the contestants ahead of the big reveal. “Genuinely, I don’t think either of you could have done any more. Good luck.” Twitter may have been unhappy with the format of the finale, but they were quite happy with the acts.
