Tyra Mae Steele & Jasper Troy talk winning the WWE LFG Season One on A&E! Jasper Troy wants more than just one win Jasper Troy was part of Team Booker T . Unlike Tyra, he did not come from a wrestling background. Instead, he used to play football before starting his wrestling journey. He made his WWE debut in 2023 and slowly worked his way up. In the final episode, he wrestled against Shiloh Hill from Team Undertaker. He won the match and proved that he belongs in WWE. But for Jasper, the journey does not stop here. "I'm just excited I didn't take my foot off the gas after winning," Troy said. "If anything I was so looking forward to the end of the show and I was so wrapped up around 'winning and winning and winning' and then I just had a moment where I was like 'this isn't the end, and I don't know why it feels like the end.'" "This isn't a movie where the movie ends and cuts to black. This is just the beginning... we won the show and I was excited and for a while, I was riding that wave, but then I had to get back to shore and realize, 'is this the only time you want to be at the top?'" Both Steele and Troy impressed fans and legends alike during the show. They now train at WWE's Performance Center and are expected to appear in NXT soon. With the second season of WWE LFG already confirmed, new talent will get a chance, but for now, it is Tyra Mae Steele and Jasper Troy's time to shine.

Bubba Ray Dudley Uses ‘A Bronx Tale' To Assess BJ Ray's Chances Of Winning WWE LFG
Bubba Ray Dudley, coach of WWE LFG, shared his perspective on BJ Ray's chances of winning the show, despite their tough relationship. From the start of the show, Bubba Ray Dudley has often clashed with his student BJ Ray. However, despite the tension, Dudley chose to mentor him. Ray has also become a controversial figure, as The Undertaker and Dudley shut him down during a promo class episode. Advertisement This past weekend at WWE World, Bully Ray discussed his current relationship as teacher and student with BJ Ray. Ray referenced A Bronx Tale, sharing his personal experience, and quoted Chazz Palminteri's line about wasted talent. 'I'm going to lay out, I'm going to let LFG do the talking. Here's what I will say: You heard, you saw the clip, you listened to the clip. I put BJ over, I spoke highly of him despite him being his own worst enemy. I put him over. Whatever happens to BJ will be on BJ.' 'He is the… And she's shaking her head. Why are you shaking your head, Danny? Why are you shaking? I'm going to call you out. Why are you shaking your head? Because you agree, and I'm sure every coach agrees, and I'm sure every other BJ will succeed because of BJ, or BJ will fail because of BJ. Have you ever seen a movie called A Bronx Tale. You guys see A Bronx Tale? What does Chazz Palminteri say to a young Calogero? The saddest thing in the world is wasted talent. Especially in our business. Will BJ be wasted talent? Watch the rest of LFG.' Just in case he's wondering… Mickey Mantle isn't going to pay your rent, either, BJ. Bubba Ray Dudley rips WWE LFG talent for going into business for himself On the April 13th edition of WWE LFG, an episode saw a heated moment between Bubba Ray Dudley and BJ Ray. The episode showed Bubba Ray Dudley absolutely ripping into BJ Ray for, as the Hall of Famer put it, 'putting every person in the ring in jeopardy.' He was seen stating, 'That is beyond the worst thing I've ever seen. You put everybody in jeopardy tonight.' Advertisement About the context, BJ Ray was involved in a tag team match on the latest WWE LFG. He was supposed to make the tag in the match. However, the rookie got into business for himself by not going for the tag, seemingly messing with the script and causing Bubba to absolutely lose it after the match. The post Bubba Ray Dudley Uses 'A Bronx Tale' To Assess BJ Ray's Chances Of Winning WWE LFG appeared first on Wrestlezone.

WATCH: Former Panthers RB wins in WWE singles debut
WATCH: Former Panthers RB wins in WWE singles debut A former Carolina Panthers running back is officially in the win column . . . inside the squared circle, that is. Elijah Holyfield made his professional wrestling singles debut back on Dec. 10, 2024, from the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Fla. And it wasn't until Sunday night, on an episode of A&E Network's WWE LFG, that his match was finally aired. The bout pitted the 5-foot-10, 234-pound Holyfield against the 6-foot-4, 238-pound Anthony Luke, who also ventured from the gridiron into the ring. Luke, an ex-defensive lineman, split his collegiate ball between American River Junior College and San Diego State University and was a member of the 2020 Montreal Alouettes over in the Canadian Football League. But despite the height discrepancy, and a little pre-match luck for Luke, it was Holyfield who captured the win via roll-up. Holyfield cracked into the NFL as an undrafted free agent with the Panthers in 2019. He'd go on to play in all four of the team's preseason games that summer, rushing for 79 yards and a touchdown on 19 carries while reeling in six receptions for 28 yards and another score. After spending much of that season on Carolina's practice squad, Holyfield was signed to the Philadelphia Eagles' active roster later that December. His last NFL stint came with the Cincinnati Bengals, which ended following a knee injury in 2022.
