A&E & WWE Team for Competition Series

A&E and WWE have expanded their programming partnership, including the debut of WWE LFG (Legends & Future Greats), a new competition series.

The new competition series features in-ring matches along with a behind-the-scenes look at rising talent vying for a WWE contract while being mentored by WWE Legends such as Paul “Triple H” Levesque, Undertaker, Shawn Michaels and Booker T.

Additionally, WWE and A&E will launch WWE’s Greatest Moments, a series that will provide fans a front-row seat to relive the iconic events that have shaped WWE history.

A new season of the hit series WWE Rivals will also complement this winter’s WWE programming slate on A&E, which will add more than 180 hours of original content over the next three years.

“Literally filled with blood, sweat and tears, there’s never been a series that combines in-ring action, behind-the-scenes reality, high-stakes drama and some of WWE’s greatest icons all in one package,” said Rob Sharenow, president of programming at A+E Networks. “From total unknowns to legends, LFG will give viewers a raw, ground-up, 360-degree view of what it truly takes to make it in the WWE. Our collaboration with WWE has clearly struck a chord with audiences, and we’re excited to continue producing premium content that resonates with a diverse viewership.”

“A&E has proved to be an excellent home for WWE content, and we’re excited to partner with their fantastic team on these new show concepts and the latest season of WWE Rivals,” said Levesque, WWE’s chief content officer.
