WWE LFG has been renewed for a second season on A&E, but with a key change—Michelle McCool will replace Mickie James as a coach.
According to Fightful Select, The Undertaker played a role in getting McCool added to the show.
While there’s no indication he requested James’ removal, he expressed interest in returning for season 2 if McCool was involved. WWE then decided to bring her in as a coach.
Sean Ross Sapp later noted during his Q&A show that Undertaker wasn’t too thrilled with this story, as he never asked for Mickie to be removed from the show, yet ended up taking heat for it on X from fans.
Undertaker only asked to work with McCool on this show, and it was WWE who decided to replace Mickie with Michelle, and not keep both women on the show.
Sapp also reported that McCool was originally approached to be a coach on Season 1 of WWE LFG, but she couldn’t do it due to a scheduling conflict.
However, there’s still some good news for Mickie James’ fans – she isn’t done with WWE after being replaced on LFG. Fightful Select provided the following update:
“Mickie James does have upcoming WWE-related promotional appearances planned even after leaving LFG.”
