Episode 7 kicks off with none other than Shawn Michaels introducing a special guest Gunther. From the moment he steps in, you can feel the old-school wrestling energy. Gunther is all business, bringing his signature no-nonsense attitude as he addresses the Future Greats with some hard-hitting truths. It’s clear that tonight will be all about discipline, intensity, and proving who truly belongs. After laying down his wisdom, Gunther joins the Legends to help set up the matches for the night.
After the break, we see Dani Sekelsky receiving medical attention for some serious back pain, ruling her out for this week's competition. It's disappointing to see her sidelined, especially given her standout performances so far. Meanwhile, Gunther continues to provide valuable insight to the Future Greats, offering honest critiques and setting the tone for the night. He remains optimistic about the upcoming matches, expecting the competitors to bring their best.
The night kicks off with Shiloh vs. Jasper Troy, though the match starts a bit slow before heading into the first commercial break. There’s a sense that both competitors are feeling each other out, but once we’re back, the intensity is bound to pick up. After the commercial break, Shiloh takes control, keeping the pressure on Troy with a steady, methodical offense. A near fall keeps things interesting, Shiloh continues to wear down his opponent until Troy dodges a spear in the corner, causing a momentum shift in his favor. Troy gets a brief flurry of offense, but it doesn’t last long, Shiloh quickly regains control and secures the pinfall victory. We also learn that Gunther will be awarding tonight’s points, adding an extra layer of significance to the matches ahead. Despite the clean finish, this match felt underwhelming. The action never quite reached that next level, and the lack of intensity made it hard to see either competitor standing out as a true top performer tonight.
From the opening moments, this match brings a lot more energy than the first. Gunther quickly points out that Zena is out-wrestling the Olympic gold medalist, which creates an interesting dynamic. A major highlight is Tyra’s natural heel persona, which suits her incredibly well. She leans into the role with confidence, adding aggression to her style. However, as Gunther notes, she still needs to expand her arsenal with more wrestling-based offense to complement her Olympic background. Despite Zena’s impressive effort, Tyra secures the victory with a bridging German suplex, a move that reinforces her technical strength while staying true to her character. After the match, the Legends weigh in, praising Zena for showing another side of herself, proving she has range as a competitor. However, Mickie James critiques Zena’s new gear, arguing that it takes away from the wrestling and reminds her of an era where female wrestlers had to fight for legitimacy. This comment didn’t entirely land with me, especially considering some of the more revealing outfits worn today in NXT and the main roster. It felt like a bit of a double standard, and while Mickie’s perspective is valid, it raises questions about how attire is judged differently in the women’s division today. Overall, this match was a significant step up from the opener, delivering more intensity and character development. Gunther and the Legends seemed more impressed with Zena’s performance than Tyra’s, which says a lot about how much she stepped up in this match. While Tyra’s promo about smiling too much was solid in delivery, it didn’t entirely make sense in context. Wrestling is still a performance, and controlling emotions is just as important as showing them. A heel character doesn’t need to erase all emotion, it’s about channeling them effectively. That said, this match was a standout compared to the first, showcasing intensity, character growth, and a glimpse at what both competitors bring to the table.
After the break, we’re back inside the ring, and this is where things start to pick up. One of the highlights of the match is hearing the Legends give pointers on the little details, those small tweaks that can take a good performance to the next level. As the action intensifies, I found myself getting more invested near the end, with Cutler securing the win via Samoan Drop for the three count. While it was a solid match, it didn’t quite have the spark to steal the show. For me, the girls still have my vote for best match of the night. The guys put on decent fights, but nothing that felt standout or must-see. Cutler and Troy both have great potential from a wrestling standpoint, but they need to work on bringing more entertainment value into the ring. The foundation is there—now they just need that extra layer of charisma and presence.
Bayley and Leigh are up next, and from the start, Bayley takes control, showcasing that "it factor" that makes her captivating to watch. Even when Leigh fights her way out of a headlock, Bayley remains dominant, keeping the pressure on. Leigh finally fights out of the corner, mounting what turns out to be the best comeback of the night. She gains momentum but takes a risky gamble with a crossbody attempt and misses. Bayley wastes no time, immediately locking in the Cranium Crush, securing a submission victory. Gunther is very impressed with Bayley and so am I. She delivered a strong performance in her second match, proving she’s a serious competitor. Leigh deserves credit for her strong comeback and I could have done with a longer match.
Gunther awards the first point to Zena, giving Team Bubba their first point of the season. Meanwhile, Shiloh earns a point for Team Undertaker, but there's some debate about whether he truly deserved it, or if it should have gone to Jasper. Personally, I think it could have gone either way. Both men put in solid efforts, so it’s understandable to see the discrepancy in opinions. There’s a great moment when Bubba shakes Zena’s hand in a show of respect that underscores the integrity and camaraderie that’s blossoming among the Legends and Future Greats. We then see a brief interaction between Jasper and Gunther, where Gunther reassures him that there’s no ill will, only a genuine desire to help him become the best wrestler he can be. Gunther’s mentorship is evident, but the real fire comes when Booker gives Jasper a pep talk, Booker’s got that passion, and you can tell he believes in his Future Greats with all his heart. Our preview for episode 8 and DDP is in the house, we see some flippy dos onto a crash mat and I cant wait to see what's in store.—LFG
