World Wrestling Entertainment announced the LFG reality series as an NXT Level Up replacement. Premiering on February 16, the show followed rising talents competing for an NXT contract. Mentors were The Undertaker, Bubba Ray Dudley, Mickie James, and Booker T. LFG staff and finalists were in Las Vegas for WrestleMania 41 weekend appearances, and now tonight's finale will feature Team Undertaker's Shiloh Hill vs. Team Booker's Jasper Troy, and Team Undertaker's Tyra Mae Steele vs. Team Bubba's Zena Sterling.

Sources recently reported that Michelle McCool was replacing James on LFG season two. While still not confirmed, Mickie spoke with Denise Salcedo for tonight's finale and revealed the series was renewed by A&E for three more years, which could translate to six more seasons.

"It was so much fun, it was a lot of fun. I think to be the first-ever, and to have the success to know that its gotten picked up for not just another season, but for three years, so like six seasons hopefully. That's a big damn deal. So... loved it and you're welcome! [laughs]," Mickie James said. [From 7:43 to 7:59]
