The Undertaker delivered a stunning surprise on Tuesday’s NXT, emerging during Oba Femi’s backstage interview to both praise and warn the reigning champion. The Hall of Famer declared Femi’s dominance over NXT was temporary before shifting focus to WWE’s future.
In a major roster development, Undertaker formally introduced three participants from A&E’s WWE LFG reality series: Shiloh Hill, Anthony Luke, and Jasper Troy. Though the show positions itself as a competition for NXT contracts, all contestants already signed developmental deals prior to filming.
Hill immediately enters championship contention, announced for next week’s 25-man battle royal to determine Femi’s Battleground challenger. He’ll be joined by fellow LFG competitor Chris Island in the high-stakes match featuring established names like Trick Williams, Ethan Page, and Wes Lee.
Anthony Luke brings built-in WWE connections as the fiancé of RAW’s Maxxine Dupri, a storyline highlighted throughout the LFG series. The debutants arrive as NXT prepares for its May 25 Battleground event, with Undertaker’s endorsement signaling WWE’s confidence in this fresh wave of talent.
