WWE legend The Undertaker has added another accolade to his storied career by being crowned the inaugural WWE LFG (Legends & Future Greats) Champion at the age of 60. Remarkably, he achieved this without returning to in-ring competition, instead gaining recognition for his mentorship on WWE's new reality series, "Legends & Future Greats."

In the show's finale, aired on May 18, The Undertaker's two proteges, Tyra Mae Steele and Shiloh Hill, advanced to the final round, outnumbering the finalists mentored by other WWE veterans like Booker T, Bubba Ray Dudley, and Mickie James. This coaching success led to The Undertaker being awarded the LFG Championship by Shawn Michaels, who made a surprise appearance to present the belt.

The LFG Championship is a symbolic title recognizing coaching excellence rather than in-ring performance. While fans have speculated about a potential return, WWE has confirmed that The Undertaker will not be stepping back into the ring. He has expressed that his body is no longer suited for active wrestling, despite occasionally feeling the urge to compete again.

WWE Star Natalya Slaps Fan Across Face After Defeat At Crockett Cup 2025; Video

Veteran WWE Superstar Natalya found herself at the middle of a storm not just for her in-ring performance, but for a post-match incident that quickly went viral. At the 2025 Crockett Cup, Natalya challenged NWA Women’s World Champion Kenzie Paige in a high-profile match that had the wrestling world watching closely.

Despite a strong showing, the former WWE Women’s Champion came up short in her bid to capture the title. However, it was what happened after the bell that stole headlines.

In a brief but shocking video clip posted by wrestling media figure MuscleManMalcolm, Natalya is seen confronting a ringside fan who had reportedly shouted at her. The nine-second clip shows the WWE star approaching the man, striking him in the face, and delivering a second blow as he falls back into his chair. Security intervened quickly to pull her away.

Fans and pundits speculated whether the confrontation was part of a storyline or a real-life outburst. As of now, neither WWE nor NWA have released an official statement clarifying the situation. Natalya, however, added fuel to the speculation by posting on X shortly afterwards, dubbing herself “The Low-Key Legend.”

Originally, TNA Hall of Famer Gail Kim was slated to serve as special guest referee for the Crockett Cup bout, but she was forced to withdraw due to severe flu and COVID-like symptoms.
