WWE LFG (fully WWE 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

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

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 (season 1), Michelle McCool (season 2) 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 team points.^[5] Most of season one roster, most notably the season's runner-ups, Zena Sterling (mentored by Bubba Ray Dudley) and Shiloh Hill (mentored by The Undertaker), joined the season two roster to get another shot at winning an NXT contract in addition to some newcomers. Even though some wrestlers did not win the competition, they still went on to wrestle on NXT and Evolve after their time on the show.
