Kevin Owens and Natalya have been cast as mentors in the third season of "WWE LFG," according to a new report from PWInsider. The reality competition series, which airs on A&E, focuses on Performance Center recruits vying for an opportunity to join the "NXT" roster.
The report indicates that filming for the new season is currently underway in Orlando, Florida. Owens and Natalya will join returning mentors Bully Ray and Booker T, rounding out the coaching panel. While a premiere date has not yet been announced, the production timeline suggests the show is a priority for WWE's programming slate.

For Natalya, the mentorship role is a natural fit. As a graduate of the legendary Hart Dungeon and a co-owner of her own training facility with husband TJ Wilson, she has extensive experience guiding the next generation of talent. She steps into the spot previously held by Michelle McCool in season two and Mickie James in season one.
"WWE LFG" has successfully launched careers in its first two seasons. Season one winners Jasper Troy and Tyra Mae Steele (Tamyra Mensah-Stock) have transitioned to the "NXT" brand, while season two winners Shiloh Hill and Skylar Raye (Dani Sekelsky) are also beginning to make their mark.
