The Undertaker is trading in his Deadman persona for something completely different—mentoring the next generation of WWE Superstars. The WWE legend is set to be a key figure in LFG, an upcoming A&E series that takes fans inside the grueling process of transforming aspiring wrestlers into future stars.

“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,” Undertaker shared on his Six Feet Under podcast.

Far from just a behind-the-scenes look, LFG will showcase everything from grassroots training to the fight to secure a spot on NXT, giving viewers a firsthand look at the dedication and sacrifice it takes to make it in the industry.

Undertaker admits stepping into this role has been both challenging and fulfilling. “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.”

Joining him on the show are Mickie James, Booker T, and Bully Ray, all bringing their experience to guide the up-and-coming talent. Undertaker, however, sees this opportunity as a way to stay involved in wrestling without stepping back into the ring.

“It scratches the itch, creatively, without having to step back into the ring,” he explained.

Beyond just coaching, Undertaker believes LFG is WWE’s way of ensuring the future of the business. “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.”

The Undertaker may have hung up his boots, but he’s far from done shaping WWE’s future. Stepping into this mentorship role gives him a new way to leave his mark on the business, and if LFG is anything like his legendary career, expect it to be a must-watch. The Deadman isn’t just watching from the sidelines—he’s building the next generation, one Superstar at a time.
