WWE LFG 6/7/2026 Season 3, Episode 7
Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/06/wwe-lfg-5312026-season-3-episode-6.html
We see Keanu Carver working out. He talks about putting in work and says his goal is to be NXT champ and he outworks everyone. Shawn Michael comes up to him and says he's not popular here but they could use his attitude on NXT if he doesn't feel like changing. Keanu agrees and says he's done with LFG, so he doesn't have to answer questions.
Thoughts: This feels like this wasn't supposed to air here as it was random.
The coaches talk. Johnny Gargano is with them this week while Natalya and Bubba aren't. Bloom tells him to coach Harlem Lewis vs Tate Wilder. Bloom says Tate will be a fan favorite but he needs to see more emotion and less motion (as if Johnny knows about that). Masyn Holiday faces PJ Vasa and Booker T needs to coach them. Booker says she's new and asks what they expect. Bloom says she's a tool box and needs to use the tools different. Owens says he was ousted out of commentary because he doesn't have any rings and blames Booker. Booker says he has nothing to do with it. Kevin Owens has Elijah Holyfield vs Apollo Crews. We are told Crews liked Elijah and wanted to work with him.
Johnny Gargano tells Tate and Lewis they gotta be coachable and tries to tell them not to do too much. Gargano says he was told no in 2015 then was with NXT until 2021.
Lewis says he saw an Evolve DVD where Johnny wrestled on the show. Lewis says it's cool to pick his brain and he had so many good ideas. Lewis says he thought Tate was a pansy at first but he's tougher than he is given credit for.
Tate Wilder vs Harlem Lewis
We are the Evolve arena for this. They lock up. Lewis side headlock takeovers him and Tate side headlock takeovers him. Lewis headscissors him. Lewis slams him. Tate dropkicks him out. Tate 2nd rope moonsaults him outside.
Tate corner lariats him. Tate walks up the buckles and twisting crossbodies him. Tate springboards and is speared down. Tate recovers outside. Lewis drops him face first on the buckles then throat first on the ropes. Lewis this a big lariat for 2. Booker says Lewis has everything but he's missing something.
Tate enzugiri's Lewis. Owens says he acts intimidating. Tate hits shots on Lewis. Tate hits a springboard shot on him. Tate hits running forearms and they say Owens looks tired. Tate hits kicks then twisting suplexes him for 2.
Tate headbutts him down off the buckles. Lewis catches his crossbody then jackhammers him to win.
Thoughts: It was all Tate flying and Lewis swatting him down and overpowering him. They cut away at times so who knows what we missed. It was average but they had the right idea.
Tate says he couldn't see out of his right eye. Lewis says they didn't have the people in their match and says the match was flat. Tate says he knew something was messed up but he tried to get through it. Bloom says he's proud of them and tells Lewis not to poke his opponent's eye out in the first 30 seconds. Bloom says Tate has to find the kink in his armor when running through offense.
Booker talks to Vasa and Masyn. He says PJ needs to believe in herself. He says Masyn has charisma and will be in a sink or swim situation. Masyn says PJ is a force and she will get her @ss kicked today.
Masyn Holiday vs PJ Vasa
Masyn comes out without Layla Diggs. PJ rams her in the corner and hits corner spears. PJ hits shots to the gut then corner splashes her twice. PJ side slams her for 2. PJ misses a legdrop and Masyn does a splash on her. PJ catches her in the air and Masyn flying euros her for 2.
PJ black hole slams her for 2. PJ backbreakers her twice. PJ spinning side slams her for 2. PJ kneels on her back and chinlocks her. PJ misses a spear and Masyn sunset flips her for 2. PJ lariats her down then misses a splash.
Masyn forearms her over then neckbreakers her. PJ misses a corner splash. Masyn cradles her and pins her.
Thoughts: Masyn looked green here. She isn't that athletically gifted and isn't that great at the basics. Nothing she did looked good and PJ didn't really quite destroy her like she should have. It was so-so.
Booker says they executed some stuff but Masyn got in trouble when she worried about what she can do for her. Booker says they ran the ropes too much and ran too much. Booker says if they are sitting on their @sses, the fans will too. Booker says they did a great job. PJ says she wants to work on being a monster.
Bloom says PJ needs to put more force into throwing her in the corner. Bloom says PJ needs to work on her emotions after almost getting pinned. Masyn is told to work on her clotheslines. Bloom says he wants Masyn's strikes to look tighter.
Owens, Apollo Crews and Elijah Holyfield talk. Owens says to show his potential. Crews says he's been with WWE for over a decade. Owens says he saw himself in Elijah. Elijah says he looked up to Crews since he has been here. Owen says he gave Crews and Eli ideas even though they didn't need it. Owens says to go for a suplex if something gets messed up.
Apollo Crews vs Elijah Holyfield
We are at the NXT arena for this.Crews was fired a few weeks before this aired.
They lock up. Crews side headlocks him. They shoulder battle and Crews is knocked out of the ring. Crews takes a back elbow then hits his own back elbow. Eli hits him in the gut and corner spears him. Eli misses a corner spear.
Crews pounds on Eli's arm then dropkicks him. Crews drops him for 2. Crews backdrops him. Crews misses an elbow drop. Eli half-nelson slams him. They fight outside and Eli punches the post when Crews moves. Eli holds his hand and Crews rolls him up and pins him.
Thoughts: It was a simple bout. I liked the finish. Crews didn't really do his flying here and this didn't get a lot of time to play out. They did what they could with the few minutes they got here.
Crews says you know if every match was good or bad after you did it. Shawn tells Eli not to just stand there after tackles. Eli ays he could be more natural and fluid. Crews says he will ride with him to the top. Crews says Eli reminds him of himself and says the sky is the limit for him.
Owens says to remember to sell what happened and says Eli could have sold his arm more. Owens tells Eli to have Bloom put him on as many shows as possible to get better. He says he could see Eli being on NXT next week. Crews says they need to explore this further and to be on the look out as we never know might happen (lol).
Overall thoughts: It was similar to the other episodes this season. It's straightforward and makes sense. We see different people every episode so it's hard for them to build stories. At least we don't have the worked-worked shoots anymore. There's nothing must see and it's probably best viewed as a documentary style piece. What we got was fine.
