WWE on A&E: Dive Into More "Legends" & "Rivals" This February

Get ready to rumble with A&E's wrestling-focused Sundays, featuring the return of WWE Rivals and Biography: WWE Legends starting Feb 25.

World Wrestling Entertainment fans should get ready to grapple with their remote controls once again, as the company is reclaiming Sunday nights as their spot for the ultimate showdown of WWE storytelling on A&E, starting February 25. The lineup features a one-two punch of history-oriented programming, with the return of WWE Rivals at 8 PM ET/PT, closely followed by Biography: WWE Legends at 9 PM ET/PT, ensuring a riveting night for wrestling enthusiasts.

WWE Rivals, the series that focuses on the storied feuds that have etched themselves into professional wrestling history, is making a comeback with a familiar face at its core. Freddie Prinze Jr., notably an actor with a past tenure as a WWE writer, takes on the hosting mantle. In each hour-long episode, fans are invited to a roundtable format where current and past WWE Superstars dissect the intricate narratives and heated clashes that WWE is known for.

The season opener jumps into the ring with a legendary saga focusing on the intense animosity that once burned between Triple H and The Rock. This high-stakes tussle over the coveted championship in the early 2000s is merely the starting bell for a series set to delve into more iconic cross-ring disputes. Viewers can expect detailed analyses of the lengthy antagonism involving duos and factions such as Jake "The Snake" Roberts versus "Macho Man" Randy Savage, Undertaker versus Shawn Michaels, John Cena versus Randy Orton, and the three-way chaos that is Hardy Boyz, Dudley Boyz, and Edge & Christian. That's not all — the series also scrutinizes the modern-day bad blood between The Miz and Daniel Bryan.

On the heels of WWE Rivals, Biography: WWE Legends carries the torch forward, diving deeper into the personal and professional sagas of the industry's titans. Per the show's custom, each episode seamlessly marries archival gems with fresh, candid interviews, assuring viewers a close and often emotional look at their favorite wrestling icons.

The premiere places a spotlight on none other than Randy Orton, the prodigious Superstar who seized the title of youngest world champion in WWE history. His storied legacy is the perfect kickoff to a season poised to offer inside looks into the careers and impacts made by Legends such as Sgt. Slaughter, Scott Hall (Razor Ramon), Diamond Dallas Page, and the British Bulldog. The series will even catch up with the current Undisputed WWE Universal Champion, Roman Reigns — demonstrating the show's blend of historical perspectives with the present landscape.

Both series will strive to give viewers greater access and understanding of the intense physicality and drama that ripple through the WWE. Each season of WWE Rivals and Biography: WWE Legends has its unique niche in the wrestling entertainment landscape, presenting the fans with an unrivaled dose of the company's storied past and dynamic present.
