Elijah Holyfield to join AAA wrestling promotion

Shawn Michaels has announced that wrestling prospect Elijah Holyfield will be moving to AAA. The news was delivered during an episode of the A&E reality series WWE LFG following a tag team match involving Holyfield and Apollo Crews.

Michaels noted that while Holyfield was considered a highly valued prospect by WWE, injuries had previously hindered his development. This move to AAA is presented as an opportunity for Holyfield to gain experience and showcase his abilities in a new environment.

Upon joining AAA, Holyfield will reunite with his former mentor, The Undertaker, who previously guided him during his time on WWE LFG. Holyfield, the son of boxer Evander Holyfield, made his in-ring debut in 2024.
