Elijah Holyfield Reportedly Impressing WWE NXT Officials

A new report from BodySlam+ has an update on the progress of WWE LFG talent, Elijah Holyfield. Elijah is also the son of boxing legend Evander Holyfield.

According to the report, NXT officials have been impressed with Holyfield’s growth. The talent signed with WWE in November 2024, and he’s primarily appeared on WWE LFG.

Holyfield also appears in the latest season of WWE LFG, which airs on A&E. During the first season, WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker got noticeably upset about Holyfield wrestling with jewelry during one of his matchups.

The Undertaker informed Holyfield after the match, “You’re lucky that I am retired. If I was to work with you, and you got in the ring with that chain and those earrings in, I would rip them out.” WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray (aka Bubba Ray Dudley) also took exception to Holyfield wrestling with his jewelry on, calling it “distracting.”
