WWE LFG Contestants Who Could Make an Impact in NXT
Read Time:3 Minute, 35 Second
WWE LFG has been great so far, but it’s time to discuss which competitors could make an immediate impact in NXT. With the winner earning an NXT contract, it’s only natural to consider who is best positioned to thrive upon arrival.
While the cast has shown a wide range of experience and talent, everyone has looked strong early on. Despite Shiloh Hill suffering an injury in episode three, WWE LFG is already proving to be a valuable developmental platform for its superstars.
Read about the six standouts this season (so far):
BJ Ray
At the start of the episode, we learned that BJ Ray suffered a shoulder injury during a house show. While the severity remains unclear, it appeared serious enough to require a replacement. Despite this setback, he remains a central figure on the show, with his feud with Bubba Ray shaping up to be the standout storyline outside of the competition.
As an early favorite to win an NXT contract, BJ Ray’s presence will continue to be felt. With his larger-than-life persona, cocky attitude, and sharp tongue, he has all the makings of professional wrestling’s next great heel. Just give it time.
Dani Sekelsky
Sekelsky has been impressive from the start. While her promos still need some work, her in-ring performance has been excellent. She looks natural, comfortable, and sells every moment—a remarkable feat given her limited time at the Performance Center.
She has competed in a match on every episode so far, suggesting the coaches see something special in her despite her inexperience. The biggest challenge to her making an immediate impact on NXT is the current strength of the women’s division. However, she has the potential to become a key figure on the brand in the near future.
Elijah Holyfield
Embracing his last name, Elijah Holyfield carries a natural presence. While we haven’t seen much from him on the show yet, that may be intentional. As a newcomer to the WWE Performance Center, he’s likely being brought along slowly—a smart approach for his development.
Holyfield has immense potential, but patience will be key. He’s a raw, explosive athlete who can be molded into a superstar. With his look, pedigree, and natural athleticism, he seems destined for something big.
Anthony Luke
I’m starting to warm up to Anthony Luke. I’m not completely sold yet, but he has wrestled in every episode so far. The coaches clearly see something in him, even comparing his confidence and aura to The Rock.
That said, he has shown impressive character development in a short time. Luke is fully embracing his role as a heel, both in and out of the ring. If he keeps this up, he could be a real threat on NXT, which could always use new heels. There’s just something about watching him under the brightest lights—it just feels like he belongs.
Jasper Troy
Jasper Troy is a dark horse to win the show. He’s physically imposing and appears to have a well-thought-out character. Troy is business-minded and seems ready to dominate any opposition on his path to becoming the best.
One underrated quality he has is his ability to make his opponents look really good in the ring—a valuable trait. If Troy wins WWE LFG and earns an NXT contract, everyone should take notice. The big men in NXT tend to be fast-tracked into the title picture, and he could be no exception.
Shiloh Hill
Shiloh Hill is another wrestler who has competed in every episode so far. Unfortunately, that will likely change after he was kicked in the head and knocked out. While it wasn’t his fault, this injury could impact his trajectory on the show.
Hill did manage to showcase his personality, promos, and strong in-ring performance early on. However, he hasn’t yet been able to implement the coaches’ feedback. Being on Team Undertaker gives him the perfect mentor to help mold him into the superstar he’s destined to become. He has potential—hopefully, we’ll get to see more of it soon.
