WWE Announces LFG Finals with the Undertaker
The Undertaker's involvement in the LFG championship and the winners' journey to the NXT roster highlight the significance of the competition, providing a platform for emerging talent to showcase their skills and grow as wrestlers, with the support of experienced coaches and legends in the industry.
The WWE has announced its A&E programming lineup for tonight, featuring the WWE LFG Finals, WWE's Greatest Moments: DX, and WWE's Greatest Moments: Money in the Bank Cash-Ins, with the Undertaker claiming the LFG championship after beating out other Legends.
The first season of WWE's LFG (Legends and Future Greats) reality competition show concluded on May 18, with Tyra Mae Steele and Jasper Troy being named the winners. Steele, a former Olympic gold medalist, and Troy, a former collegiate football player, were chosen by coaches Shawn Michaels and the Legends over Zena Sterling and Shiloh Hill, respectively. As winners, they signed NXT contracts, although they already had WWE deals and trained at the Performance Center.
The competition was coached by WWE legends The Undertaker, Booker T, Bubba Ray Dudley, and Mickie James. Steele and Troy's journey to winning the competition was marked by moments of triumph and growth, with Steele eventually breaking through with a passionate promo about her journey in life and a heated confessional against Bubba Ray Dudley. Troy made a name for himself with a superb speech about being a fan of CM Punk and wanting to make him "bend a knee" when they met in the ring.
The show has been renewed for a second season, with Hill and Sterling returning, and Michelle McCool replacing Mickie James as a female coach. Steele and Troy's journey to the top is a testament to their hard work, dedication, and perseverance, and they are ready to take on the next chapter in their WWE careers.
