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 and documentary-style 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 joined 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 1 finale, 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 Championship as best mentor, as he had the most team points.^[5] Most of the Season 1 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 2 roster to get another shot at winning an NXT contract in addition to four newcomers.

Even though some wrestlers did not win the competition, they still went on to wrestle on the NXT and Evolve brands after their time on the show.
