[8.0] "As a show to start the Tournament for the NXT Title was really good, the debut of Big E felt dominant even if just a squash, Raquel Diaz takes something away of this (and I just realized she's one of Eddie Guerrero's daughters) but the Main Event was so good with Rollins and Drew. 8/10"

[7.0] "I think this is definitely the best episode of NXT up to this point. Not only because it gives the promotion a purpose, that being crowing it's first champion, but it also plays off the episodes that preceded it, making the most of the two rematches that open and close the show."

[5.0] "A tale of two shows here for me. This is in the transition period between FCW to NXT and my god does it show. Talent like Richie, Kruger, Hunico and, most obviously, Raquel Diaz (who has more Vickie then Eddie in her) were never going to be successful on the main roster the way their were (Kruger could have with his next gimmick but was not to last). However, the building blocks for what NXT would become are there with talent like Drew, Seth, Big E and unpolished talent like Dalton, Jordan and Bo waiting to happen. The tournament matches were fine for TV but the squashes were not the best, but still an easy watch for a hour."

[4.0] "My rating for this match is 4/10 it is the best NXT show I have seen but thats not saying much. All the matches were okay or worse same with the segment, NXT so far is nothing special. Match of the night was Seth Rollins vs Drew McIntyre was really good and made this the best NXT show so far."

[6.0] "Good show and nxt is starting to pick up slowly but surely. Nxt Title Tournament is awesome and should be good, the main event was good actually. Glad to see Big E debut. Here we go!"

[6.0] "This was a good show. The Steamboat/Kruger feud has been disappointing to me, but this match was better than their last one. I thought it was pretty good. The next two matches weren't much. Big E Langston's debut was a squash. The women's match was pretty bad and was probably the worst on the show. They even got chants of "You can't wrestle". The last two matches I really liked. The tag team match was the first time on NXT where Mike Dalton wasn't destroyed. He worked really well and made a really good match. The finish was great with him pinning Camacho with a hurricanrana to get his first win. As said it was really good in my opinion. The main event was fantastic and was the best match on the show. Better than their match the previous week, Mcintyre looked very strong and really took a lot out of Rollins. Both men were really good and put on the match of the night again."
