WWE LFG (meaning "Legends & Future Greats") is an American professional wrestling reality television series produced by WWE. The series premiered on A&E on February 16, 2025, as a replacement for WWE NXT Level Up.[1][2][3]

Premise

[edit]

The series involves "rising talent" competing for a NXT contract.[4] The competitors are mentored by WWE Hall of Famers and veterans, including Bubba Ray Dudley, The Undertaker, Shawn Michaels, Mickie James, and Booker T.[5][6] Michelle Mccool will be replacing Mickie James in Season 2 due to Undertaker threatening to leave the show if his wife wasn't hired.
