The Undertaker Calls Evander Holyfield's Son Elijah 'A Prodigy' in WWE LFG S2 Video

Elijah Holyfield is back for season two of WWE LFG after coming up short in the first season, and it sounds like he's made even greater strides as he continues to pursue a career in professional wrestling.

"Elijah is truly a prodigy," WWE legend The Undertaker said in a preview video released on Sunday. "Everything that he does is just explosive."

The Undertaker had Holyfield on his team in the first season of the reality competition series, which features developmental talent competing to earn a WWE NXT contract while being mentored by Hall of Famers and other alumni. Holyfield was eliminated in the 13th episode of the 15-episode season.

The son of legendary boxer Evander Holyfield, the 27-year-old initially pursued a football career after starring as a running back at Georgia for three seasons. After going undrafted in 2019, he had stints with the Carolina Panthers, Philadelphia Eagles and Cincinnati Bengals. He spent most of his time on practice squads and was elevated to the Eagles' active roster once during the 2020 campaign.

Holyfield signed a developmental deal with WWE last November, and it's taken less than a year for him to earn the respect of The Undertaker and the other WWE LFG coaches. It appears that he could be the frontrunner to win it all in season two.
