The Matches on Episode 14
Tyra Mae Steele vs. Dani Sekelsky

Match: In a fitting rematch as the first-ever pairing on WWE LFG, Tyra Mae Steele and Dani Sekelsky showed just how far they’ve come—delivering their best performance yet. Both played their roles perfectly and had standout moments. They even sold Dani’s injury flawlessly, leading to her choking out TMS with the Undertaker’s iconic Hell’s Gate submission on his Future Great. Chef’s kiss!
Jasper Troy vs. BJ Ray

Match: Zena Sterling brought a more serious edge to the match, showcasing some slick moves. Penina Tuilaepa matched her intensity, patiently picking her spots and dishing out a punishing beatdown. Despite Zena’s solid efforts to rally, Penina sealed the win with a powerful Samoan Drop. After the match, she gave Zena her flowers, praising her for elevating anyone she steps in the ring with and admitting she couldn’t have made it through without her.
Shiloh Hill vs. Chris Island
Promo Battle: That was an incredible back-and-forth battle that saw Shiloh Hill shine. Chris held his own, but Shiloh ultimately stole the show.
