Winners announced for season one of WWE LFG

The first winners of LFG have been crowned.

On Sunday’s episode that aired on A&E, Tyra Mae Steele and Jasper Troy were announced as the winners of the first season of the reality competition show. As a result, they have “signed NXT contracts,” although all of the competitors have been signed by WWE and already train at their Performance Center.

Steele, who was on The Undertaker’s team, was chosen over Zena Sterling, who was on Bubba Ray Dudley’s team. Hill, who was on Booker T’s team, was chosen over Team Undertaker’s Shiloh Hill. Undertaker was crowned the first-ever WWE LFG Champion as two of his rookies made it to the final round.

Both winners talked to Sports Illustrated following their win.

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

“This is the first thing I ever won,” Troy said. “I’ve never won a championship or a playoff, you know. So to me, this is like a Super Bowl moment. But I see how someone like DeVonta Smith or A.J. Brown will be like, ‘winning the Super Bowl was cool, but now it’s like what’s next?'”

Steele (real name Tamyra Mensah-Stock), 32, was the first Black woman to win gold in women’s freestyle wrestling at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. She signed with WWE in 2023 and has competed on Level Up.

Troy (Antione Frazier), 26, has a background in football and made his debut in 2023, also previously competing on Level Up.

LFG has already been announced for a second season with Michelle McCool replacing Mickie James as one of the coaches.
