[4.0] "Well this was supposed to be a live event house show but since Brock Lesnar wanted to see Masa saito(who was in poor health) this was picked up by Japanese media and WWE choose to book Lesnar in this tour and made the show a WWE network special event. And this really feels like a house show with meaningless match. Chris Jericho wrestled his first match since september and it was to put down Neville. Divas triple threat felt really horrible this is the only long match that shouldn't be long. Lesnar vs Kofi really feels off putting, Big E would have been a better choice, anyways the match was an expected dud and the new day got squashed anyways, that's how you book a wrestler who dedicated the show to, if you are a McMahon. The NXT title is the only reason why people may remember. This match is a PPV level and it got its flowers it deserved. Cena/Dolph vs Kane/barrett feels really like a downgrade compared to the last match, and this really didn't had the heat or the drama. Well talking about the show, ryogoku sumo hall always gives an unique vibe to any wrestling show and this had that vibe. The setting and the vibe made for what's lost, but the crowd and the audience waking up to see this show deserves much better then what they were given. This would have been thrown into obscurity if it wasn't for Balor VS Kevin Owens. I hope WWE returns to Japan for another PPV. But for this, it is a meh show with a hidden gem in it"

[8.0] "This is my review on Beast In The East 2015: Chris Jericho VS Neville [***3/4] Nikki Bella (c) VS Paige VS Tamina [***] Brock Lesnar VS Kofi Kingston [*1/2] Kevin Owens (c) VS Finn Balor [*****] Dolph Ziggler & John Cena VS Kane & King Barrett [**1/4] Overall 7.5/10 Great Show."

[7.0] "A really enjoyable show with the highlights being Chris Jericho vs. Neville and Finn Bàlor vs. Kevin Owens. The Divas title match was moderate in quality with it essentially being Nikki Bella vs. Paige with Tamina just being there cause why not. The Brock Lesnar vs. Kofi Kingston match was hyped up a lot just to be a 2:30 squash match where Lesnar destroys the entire New Day. The main event tag match was a weird choice for a main event after the banger they put on before it. Overall 7/10."

[6.0] "Slightly above average house show with only the opener and the NXT title match really standing out. With the entire event being centered around Brock Lesnar I figured he would be on screen longer than he was but the crowd seemed pretty pleased to see him destroy The New Day with F-5's to Kofi, Xavier and Big E. This show is nothing special but still somewhat enjoyable from start to finish."

[8.0] "Chris Jericho Vs Neville ****1/4. Nikki Bella Vs Paige Vs Tamina **. Brock Lesnar Vs Kofi Kingston *. Finn Balor Vs Kevin Owens ***3/4. Dolph Ziggler and John Cena Vs Kane and King Barrett **3/4. This was a great show. Neville Vs Jericho was a great match and MOTN. Triple Threat match was okay with some okay moments. Lesnar Vs Kofi was just a squash match. Balor Vs Owens was good and it was cool to see Balor win the title. Main Event was good but I think was given to much time."

[7.0] "Very good show with three standout matches; Owens vs. Balor being the match of the night and possible MOTYC, with Jericho and Neville also doing great work in their match, and the Cena/Ziggler vs. Barrett/Kane main event tag being a solid outing. Of the remaining matches, Lesnar's match, though a squash, served as a good showcase for him, and the Divas three-way was inoffensive if unremarkable. Even Michael Cole had a good showing as announcer - when allowed to do nothing but call matches instead of putting on his insufferable Monday night act, he's actually far from a bad PBP guy. If only WWE let their main roster do more shows like this."

[8.0] "This was a fine Network exclusive, one which gets me very excited anticipating what other sorts of out-of-the-norm shows we could see in the future on the Network. Jericho v Neville was a superb opener, with this pundit hoping that a Jericho win means that these two will have another match on a bigger stage in the near future. The Divas title match was an insulting 7 minutes for a triple threat title match which looked as if they had just run out of time with the terrible forearm finish, but had not been a very good bout anyway. Lesnar then tears apart Kofi followed by New Day in a fun enough squash. The NXT title match between Owens and Balor was absolutely fantastic and truly exciting. This should've been the main event as the drawn-out, thrown-together tag match was not nearly as good to watch and for some reason went on 4 minutes longer than the NXT Championship match! But that can be pretty easily dismissed as this was all about witnessing a different atmosphere, different set, a different feel to a good enough WWE show. May the Network put out many little things like this for a long time to come."

[7.0] "Two cracking matches in Neville v Jericho and the NXT title encounter. The divas and main event were both worthless though, and Lesnar's appearance barely lasted a few minutes."
