WWE and A&E have announced an expansion of their partnership with the development of a new competition series. According to The Hollywood Reporter, A&E will debut WWE LFG, a show where aspiring pro wrestlers compete for a WWE contract while receiving guidance from iconic in-ring legends such as Paul “Triple H” Levesque, The Undertaker, and Shawn Michaels.
The title LFG stands for “Legends & Future Greats” and will follow a format reminiscent of Tough Enough. Contestants will undergo rigorous training, participate in weekly matches, and learn the behind-the-scenes aspects of the wrestling business. Mentorship will be provided by celebrated stars, including Booker T, Mickie James, and Bubba Ray Dudley.
Executive producers for WWE LFG include Triple H, Lee Fitting, Ben Houser, Shawn Michaels, and Jeremy Borash, representing WWE, with Elaine Frontain Bryant and Brad Abramson producing for A&E.
In addition to LFG, A&E has green-lit two other projects with WWE:
- WWE’s Greatest Moments, a series that will highlight the most iconic matches and events in WWE history. Michael Cole is set to host.
- WWE Rivals returns for its fifth season, continuing its deep dive into legendary feuds.
“A&E has proved to be an excellent home for WWE content, and we’re excited to partner with their fantastic team on these new show concepts and the latest season of WWE Rivals,” said Triple H, WWE’s Chief Content Officer.
WWE’s Greatest Moments will also be executive produced by Triple H, Fitting, Houser, and Marc Pomarico, alongside A&E’s Bryant, Abramson, and Jonathan Partridge.
This collaboration continues WWE’s successful track record of creating compelling content that bridges sports entertainment and storytelling.
