WWE Hall of Famer Lita and former Divas Champion Paige will play pivotal roles in the new season of Tough Enough, the WWE has revealed.
More details on the new season of the WWE reality show have been announced in a new press release. Lita will join Booker T and Billy Gunn as a trainer, while Paige will serve alongside Hulk Hogan and Daniel Bryan on a panel of experts.
Chris Jericho will host the show, which will air live from the WWE Performance Center and feature an elimination process described as “lighting fast”:
Unlike anything on television today, the lightning-fast hour of entertainment and competition will include live results every week, giving fans worldwide the power to decide who stays and who goes the very same night. Each week, one cast member will be eliminated until one man and one woman are considered “Tough Enough,” with each earning a one-year, $250,000 WWE contract.
Renee Young will also take part in the show, having revealed on Twitter that she’ll serve as Jericho’s co-host:
So stoked to be @IAmJericho's cohost for #ToughEnough!! I'll be the Paula Abdul to his Ryan Seacrest!! ???????????????? @WWEToughEnough
