Tyra Mae Steele and Jasper Troy Rise as WWE LFG's First Champions
What a ride it’s been. After three intense months, WWE LFG wrapped up its first-ever season on A&E with two standout winners—Tyra Mae Steele and Jasper Troy—each earning a coveted WWE NXT contract. These two "Future Greats" emerged from a field of 16 hungry competitors, all battling week after week to earn the respect of legends and the admiration of fans. And man, they delivered.
Tyra Mae Steele—real name Tamyra Mensah-Stock—is no stranger to high-stakes competition. An Olympic Gold Medalist in women’s freestyle wrestling from the 2020 games, she came into the WWE Performance Center with expectations sky-high. But expectations don’t guarantee success in WWE. What does? Grit, vulnerability, and the ability to connect. Tyra brought all that and more. She was raw, real, and powerful when it mattered most, showing that beyond the smile is a fierce competitor ready to shine on the grandest stage.

Then there’s Jasper Troy, the underdog turned undeniable. He didn’t come in with Olympic accolades—just a football background and a hunger that couldn’t be ignored. Towering at 6’5” and 251 pounds, Troy could’ve leaned on his size. But what made him truly magnetic was his mic work. That breakout promo in front of CM Punk? Electric. That was his moment, the one where he flipped the switch from “recruit” to “star.”
Their journey culminated in the most legendary venue of all—Madison Square Garden. Performing there is a dream, and they made the most of it. Tyra faced off against Zena Sterling and Jasper went to war with Shiloh Hill. The crowd? They felt it. Every slam, every word, every heartbeat. And that’s what these two live for—connection. Tyra could hear them cheering, booing, shouting “one more time,” and instead of crumbling under the noise, she thrived in it. Jasper, once a face in the crowd, now had that crowd in the palm of his hand.
What's especially inspiring about their journeys is how different, yet equally compelling, they are. Tyra had to battle through being underestimated emotionally, being told she smiled too much, and constantly proving that behind her kindness is unmatched drive. Jasper had to fight to be seen as more than just “the big guy.” He wanted to prove he had personality, charisma, and heart—and he did.
And now? They both know this is only the beginning. For Jasper, this win is his first-ever major victory—he calls it his Super Bowl. But he’s already thinking past the confetti. He knows the real grind starts now. Tyra, meanwhile, is embracing her spotlight, knowing that every time she steps through the curtain, she’s representing not just herself, but her roots, her family, and her mom—Mae—whose name she proudly carries in her ring persona.
This isn’t the end of the story. This is chapter one. Tyra Mae Steele and Jasper Troy are no longer prospects. They’re WWE’s newest rising stars. And if WWE LFG was the proving ground, they’ve just proved they belong at the top.
