The Undertaker wins new WWE championship at 60 without stepping in the ring

Image via WWE The Undertaker may have retired from in-ring competition years ago, but his presence in WWE remains as powerful as ever. At 60, the legendary superstar has now added a new accolade to his storied career - being crowned the first-ever WWE LFG Champion . The Phenom, who was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2022, served as a mentor on the debut season of WWE Legends & Future Greats (LFG), a talent-scouting reality show that brings together WWE legends and aspiring wrestlers. The show's finale, aired on May 18, saw rookies battling it out for a chance to earn WWE NXT contracts. While the spotlight was on the newcomers, it was The Undertaker who walked away with the brand-new title. Coaching success leads to surprise title win The final four featured two male and two female competitors, each mentored by different WWE veterans. While Booker T, Bubba Ray Dudley, and Mickie James had one or no representatives in the finals, The Undertaker stood out with two protégés - Tyra Mae Steele and Shiloh Hill, both advancing to the last round. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Ótimas notícias para os cidadãos brasileiros!

Though Tyra Mae Steele (Team Undertaker) and Jasper Troy (Team Booker T) were declared the overall winners, it was The Undertaker's coaching dominance that earned him the LFG crown. The belt, designed specifically for the show, recognizes the winning coach, not an in-ring competitor. It's a symbolic title, but one that has stirred excitement among fans nonetheless. Is The Undertaker coming back to WWE? Despite the new championship, WWE has confirmed that The Undertaker is not returning to in-ring action. While fans online began speculating about a possible comeback, the 60-year-old has repeatedly stated that his body is no longer suited for active wrestling, despite occasionally feeling the urge to compete again. His latest win may not have come inside the squared circle, but it reinforces the legend's ongoing influence in the company. By mentoring new talent, The Undertaker continues to shape WWE's future - not with chokeslams or tombstones, but with guidance and experience. For now, the Deadman rests in retirement - as a champion once again.
