*NXT Superstars*

Sami Zayn: "Michael was just a kid when he first stepped into WWE, but you could already see he wasn't ordinary. Defending Jim Ross against his own family showed a bravery and a moral compass that's rare. And the way he just threw himself into everything with such heart... it's inspiring."

Johnny Gargano: "I remember watching Michael take on all comers. It didn't matter who it was—veterans, legends, his own family. He had this incredible energy and fearlessness. He's one of the reasons I wanted to push my limits in this ring."

Bayley: "Michael had a huge impact on all of us, even though he was so young. He was like our little brother who somehow also led by example. His match at such a young age, that passion... it taught me to always stay determined, no matter the odds."

Asuka: "Michael McMahon's legacy? Unmatched. His strength and honor in the ring, very inspiring. He showed that age is just a number, and determination is everything."

Finn Balor: "Seeing him take on Lita so young, then leave and return with such force, it was surreal. Hosting WrestleMania, winning title matches against the likes of Cena, and those matches at Survivor Series? He's a legend in his own right."

NXT General Manager William Regal: "Michael was a precocious talent, yes, but it's his character that truly set him apart. Stepping up to defend a friend, facing down familial pressure, and never compromising his values... that's the making of a true superstar."

Samoa Joe: "Michael wasn't just a prodigy; he was a revolutionary in the wrestling world. His tenacity in the ring and his ability to engage the crowd, whether as a host or competitor, were phenomenal. He reshaped how we all saw the business."

And so, the match begins.
