WWE LFG Winners Break Silence After Earning Contract

The winners of WWE LFG have been crowned and now they have broken their silence after earning a contract with the sports entertainment giant.

Back in December 2024, it was announced by WWE and A&E that a new competition series called “WWE LFG (Legends & Future Greats)” would feature in-ring matches and training of young talent looking to earn a WWE contract.

WWE Hall of Famers The Undertaker, Booker T, Bubba Ray Dudley, as well as the iconic Mickie James, appeared as coaches on the show as they lent their decades of experience to the next crop of hopeful talents looking to make their start in the wrestling business.

On the May 18 edition of WWE LFG, Tyra Mae Steele and Jasper Troy were named as the winners of season one, supposedly earning them both an NXT contract. The reality is that all participants are currently signed to WWE and train at the Performance Center.

2 WWE LFG Winners Excited To Get Started

Speaking to Sports Illustrated, both winners expressed their delight at their victory, with Tyra Mae Steele noting:

I’m so excited. It’s been a long time coming. I swear I’ve just been waiting for my moment to shine. I just feel elated. I just feel so, so freaking blessed.

Jasper Troy was every bit as excited and said that this is just the beginning:

I’m just excited I didn’t take my foot off the gas after winning. If anything I was so looking forward to the end of the show and I was so wrapped up around ‘winning and winning and winning’ and then I just had a moment where I was like ‘this isn’t the end, and I don’t know why it feels like the end.’

“This isn’t a movie where the movie ends and cuts to black. This is just the beginning… we won the show and I was excited and for a while, I was riding that wave, but then I had to get back to shore and realize, ‘is this the only time you want to be at the top?’

Steele is an Olympic gold medallist, having won the prize for freestyle wrestling at the 2020 Games in Tokyo. Troy has a football background and made his debut in 2023, he has also competed on the now-defunct NXT Level Up show.

Season two of the show has already been greenlit, but WWE is replacing one of the coaches to make it a quartet of Hall of Famers.
