WWE Undertaker: The Enduring Legacy and New Achievements Beyond the Ring
The legacy of the WWE Undertaker is unlike any in the history of professional wrestling. For over three decades, the Deadman captivated fans with his mysterious aura, unmatched presence, and in-ring excellence. Today, even in retirement, his influence continues to shape WWE in unexpected ways.
A New Chapter: LFG Champion at 60
WWE Undertaker stunned the wrestling world again in 2025, not by returning to the ring, but by making history outside of it. At the age of 60, he earned the inaugural WWE LFG Championship, an honor that signifies excellence in coaching and mentorship. This milestone happened on WWE’s reality show, Legends & Future Greats (LFG), where retired legends mentor up-and-coming talent.
His accomplishment didn’t require him to don his iconic hat and coat in the ring. Instead, it marked his success as a guide and leader for the new generation of WWE superstars. You can read more about this achievement in The Times of India’s WWE Undertaker LFG win coverage.
Mentoring the Stars of Tomorrow
On the first season of WWE LFG, the Undertaker coached a talented group of young superstars. In the season finale, both of his protégés, Tyra Mae Steele and Shiloh Hill, made it to the final round. Tyra Mae Steele, an Olympic gold medalist, went on to win a WWE NXT contract, while Shiloh Hill showcased incredible improvement under Taker's guidance. These results show why the Undertaker was honored with the LFG title, awarded by none other than WWE legend Shawn Michaels.

WWE Undertaker’s Enduring Influence
Since his retirement at the 2020 Survivor Series, WWE Undertaker hasn’t slowed down. Instead of performing in the ring, he now molds the next generation. The LFG Championship belt isn’t a traditional title. It is a symbol of leadership and inspiration that keeps his legacy alive in a new way.
Rumors often suggest he may come back to wrestling. However, Undertaker himself has made it clear his days as an in-ring competitor are done. Yet, his presence remains strong as he inspires rookies and veterans alike.
Behind the Scenes: Building Champions
The finale of WWE LFG was a special event, held at the iconic Madison Square Garden. For the competitors, the experience was unforgettable. Tyra Mae Steele described it as a dream come true and credited Undertaker for believing in her fierce spirit and guiding her through tough moments. Jasper Troy, another LFG winner, talked about overcoming challenges and showing his true personality under the spotlight.
