LFG Winner Tyra Mae Steele Dominates in WWE NXT In-Ring Debut

WWE’s NXT brand brought a pretty exciting show this week for their June 3 episode. That also included the in-ring debut of a brand-new face to the brand.

Tyra Mae Steele won the first season of WWE LFG. This week on NXT, she was able to show off in the ring to get her career going.

Steele and Ariana Grace had a backstage confrontation this week before NXT. Druing that little meet-up, Grace cast doubt on the authenticity of Tyra Mae Steele’s gold medals. Steele captured gold in the women’s 68 kg freestyle wrestling division at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics that were held in 2021, becoming the first Black woman to win an Olympic wrestling gold medal for the United States.

This match had fans going from the start as Grace had the upperhand. Ariana Grace also had fans behind her, but Tyra Mae Steele was a very tough opponent. Steele picked up Grace and heaved her across the ring before stalking her opponent and nailing a pinning German suplex for the win.

Jasper Troy also won the first season of LFG. He made his in-ring debut during last week’s episode. Obviously, they will have a lot of eyes on them from this point on.
