[5.0] "Trios match was good, Lethal Twist always bring it in the ring and they worked well with the Conglomeration, who appear the be headed to a clash with The Demand (who should totally win). The Rougeau segment was nice as TK continues to honor the history of the sport. Doing the entrances for the opener was a good idea since the PPV was already going to be long. Only gets a 5 due to there being only one match. That means between the Buy In and PPV proper, you had 11 matches and only two of them featured women. Couldn't they find two women to team up and face Divine Dominion? That would've been better than whatever the fuck that interview with Mick Foley was."
[6.0] "Having only one match on the preshow felt really unusual for AEW but I actually didn't mind the extra time given to honor the Rougeau family. As a Montrealer, I was happy to see them get that recognition, even if I wish it had happened on the main card instead. The segment itself was a bit awkward with Jacques constantly facing away from the camera and even blocking it at times. The crowd also booing him during his speech felt unnecessarily classless. I get why some fans dislike him but that simply wasn't the time or place for it."
[6.0] "A simple and largely uneventful pre-show, though Mick Foley and Renee Paquette were an enjoyable pairing. With only one match, there was little substance overall, but the action itself was fun enough to make the show an easy watch."
[4.0] "Yeah this was a big waste of an hour don't see why we only had one match to be honest. Just chuck some party much together to at least make it worthwhile tuning in. The trios match was one of the matches of all time bar a good performance from Lethal Twist. The Rougeaus getting their moment was cool. But i know so little about them and also speak very little French (Grade F in my GCSE) so it was lost on me. But that is my fault in all honesty. What isn't is sending out Rocky Romero to interrupt them could of used anyone else man.Overall a bit of a waste of an hour might be the worst Zero hour/Buy In of all time."
[8.0] "The Trios Title match was a fun opener, and the rest of the Buy In did a good job building excitement for the pay-per-view. Nothing special, but it accomplished exactly what it set out to do."
[4.0] "The match was solid, but the rest dragged on quite a bit given the substance. It was cool to give the Rougeaus a moment, but I was expecting an FTR return or something more impactful than Rocky Romero. Match quality: 3.75/6.5. Non-match angles and segments: 0.5/3.5. Bonus/penalty: none. Total: 4.25/10. Show watched on MyAEW."
