WWE LFG (meaning "Legends & Future Greats") is an American professional wrestling reality competition series produced by WWE Studios and broadcast by A&E. The series follows up and coming wrestlers from WWE's developmental system, competing for a contract in WWE's NXT division while being mentored by alumni and Hall of Fame talent.
History
[edit]
The series was announced in December 2024, as part of WWE Studios' ongoing partnership with A+E Global Media (which, up until then, had primarily consisted of factual programming covering WWE and its history).[1][2] In preparation for the series, WWE cancelled its in-ring program NXT Level Up in December 2024.[2][3]
In March 2025, A&E announced that the series had been renewed for a second season,[4] later announcing a premiere on June 22, 2025; Michelle McCool will join the series as a new mentor, replacing Mickie James.[5]
Premise
[edit]The series features up and coming talent from the WWE Performance Center system competing for a contract in WWE's NXT division. The competitors are mentored by WWE Hall of Famers and veterans, including Bubba Ray Dudley, The Undertaker, Shawn Michaels, Mickie James, and Booker T.[6][7]
At the end of the season one final, Jasper Troy (mentored by Booker T) and Tyra Mae Steele (mentored by The Undertaker) were the eventual winners and earned NXT contracts. The Undertaker also earned the LFG title as best mentor, as he has the most mentees in the final 8.[5]
