The Undertaker Mentors WWE’s Next Generation in A&E’s LFG
The Undertaker has traded the Deadman persona for a new role as a mentor in WWE’s upcoming A&E series, LFG. The show, which takes fans behind the scenes of the grueling process of creating future WWE Superstars, highlights everything from grassroots training to the journey to NXT. Speaking about his involvement, Undertaker described the experience as challenging yet rewarding.
“This show is going to give you a look into the process of creating a WWE Superstar… from ground zero to making it to NXT,” he shared.
“It’s been fun but also a workload like I’m not used to. I thought my grinding days were behind me, but it’s been rewarding to help this next generation.”
LFG pulls back the curtain on what it takes to succeed in the world of professional wrestling. Fans will follow aspiring talent as they:
- Start with grassroots training, learning the basics of the craft.
- Work their way through WWE’s rigorous developmental system.
- Strive for the ultimate goal: earning a spot on NXT.
Undertaker is excited about how the show will blend entertainment and authenticity. “It puts me in a different atmosphere and creative space, and I think people are really going to be entertained by it,” he said.
Since retiring from in-ring competition, Undertaker has embraced new ways to contribute to WWE. LFG allows him to pass on decades of knowledge to the next generation while scratching his creative itch.
“It scratches the itch, creatively, without having to step back into the ring,” he explained.
For a man who spent over three decades captivating fans, this transition offers a fulfilling way to stay involved without compromising his legendary legacy.
The series underscores WWE’s commitment to developing new stars and ensuring the longevity of the business. By focusing on developmental talent, LFG serves as a platform to highlight the potential of younger wrestlers who are working to carry the torch. Undertaker’s involvement adds a level of credibility and gravitas that few others could bring.
“The future of this business depends on these young talents, and this show is about giving them the tools and platform they need to succeed,” he noted.
With Undertaker guiding the next generation and offering unparalleled insight into the developmental process, LFG promises to be both inspiring and educational for WWE fans. “It’s been an incredible experience to be part of this journey,” Undertaker said.
