5 Ups & 3 Downs From WWE NXT UK (29 April)

4. Cut From The Same Cloth

Sam Gradwell confronting Trent Seven at the UK Performance Center, stating how they’ve both come from the same place yet people only credit Seven for the work he’s done, was superb.

Seven entered the main training area, being asked how it feels to be credited with inspiring many people by losing a considerate amount of weight to challenge for the NXT Cruiserweight Championship a few weeks back. Trent lapped up the praise he was receiving, which is when Gradwell entered the picture. ‘The Thunderstorm’ demanded to know why people don’t give him the credit for also being a founding father of NXT UK, and how no one batted an eyelid when he returned from a legitimate career-ending injury. Sam ended this by saying Seven is on everyone’s pedestal but his.

If this is leading to a match between the two, then your writer is all for it, so long as Sam Gradwell actually wins. This was a great bit of history being told, as Gradwell genuinely has been around the same length of time as the Moustache Mountain man. He appears to finally be doing something in the brand; good for him.
