Since WWE’s move to Netflix, the company has been putting more focus on showcasing the reality behind the scenes of WWE entertainment. As part of this effort, WWE launched WWE LFG: Legends & Future Greats, featuring legends like The Undertaker and Bubba Ray. The show’s second season was originally set to include Mickie James, but reports suggest she was replaced due to The Undertaker’s alleged involvement.

According to Fightful, some A&E sources state that The Undertaker had a condition before continuing the show. He wanted Michelle McCool to be on board as one of the coaches. It led A&E to remove Mickie James to bring in McCool as one of the coaches on the show. It was a controversial decision that has sparked a wave of criticism against Taker.

Reports suggest that The Undertaker doesn’t have any personal issues with James. Instead, his condition was simply to have McCool by his side. However, A&E’s inability to accommodate multiple female coaches ultimately led to James’ departure from the show. Notably, the former Women’s Champion had already been featured in season one, mentoring her prodigies.

His statement expressing immense respect for the former WWE chairman sparked backlash among fans. As criticism continues to mount, A&E’s decision on whether to bring James back to WWE LFG remains uncertain.
