[6.0] "I thought it was solid but it's just very hard to care for this, I can't believe Nia Jax is still in the position that she is and how the program with Tiffany is still going. I'll give credit to them here because they did pretty well but I couldn't get invested into this."

[2.0] "Probably Tiffany's best match of her title reign so far, and I'm really shocked it was with nia of all people although she does have a history of typically having good tv matches, props to nia too for taking that chair shot to the face, was standout moment of the match. other than that it was a nothing burger of a match and tiffany is showing she should not have been champion as she is far from ready to lead a division or carry any feud or match"

[7.0] "A surprisingly good main event here. My feelings regarding Nia Jax, as a wrestler, are fairly well-documented. As for Stratton, I like her, but she hasn't shown incredible improvement, in my opinion. That said, I was expecting less from this. This wasn't the best thing ever or anything, but I'm glad this exceeded my expectations in the end."

[1.0] "I watched Nia Jax do a Samoan drop, struggle to get up, slip, do a senton, and slip again. She also struggled to run the ropes and delivered a horrible looking leg drop. That's also not taking into account the WWE style of staring into space for a few minutes after every 2 count. Then someone had the bright idea of letting Nia struggle to climb the second rope and barely hold Stratton who had to quickly post herself because Nia was going to drop her. Then did the worst looking reverse slam if that was even the intent. I can't believe this was the main event and it went longer than 10 minutes."

[6.0] "For me, this match is really elevated by the finish. Nia (hope she was okay after it) being busted open for real lends some credibility to the fact that Stratton could pin her. And the dropkick to the chair to the face just looked and sounded nasty. Other than that, Nia's work on top is always so sensible given her size (when she gets to drop her full weight on her opponents it feels so impactful and mean). Her well placed cockiness shows her opponents clear openings to turn the tables. The worst part of the match is when Tiffany does her comebacks. The transitions, set up or not by Jax, are good. But the rest seems very choreographed. Stratton is still green and it shows. But this may be the best match I've seen from her, even if her input didn't amaze me."

[7.0] "Good match with great finish. For the first minutes it was fine, nothing too crazy but enjoyable but towards the end it started to look better and better with Naomi and Jade breaking into, Nia's kicking out of PME and then hitting NASTY Anialator which Tiffy survived and then this absolutely LETHAL chair shot followed by PME - awesome job by both ladies! Overall it was very fun. ***, 25"

[9.0] "Unexpected heater of a match. Nia Jax turns in her best performance in recent memory. Tiffany Stratton "kicks Nia's face off" with a hell of a kick to steel chair to Nia's face. Great near fall with Stratton grabbing the rope after a brutal Annihilator."

[4.0] "I hate Tiffany Stratton so perhaps it is coloring my opinion, but this match was 90% Nia Jax lumbering around while Tiffany Stratton does some flippy stuff. And I love flippy stuff but I have also seen it all before. Was there in person, it was super hype, but IDK, I just really hate Tiffany Stratton okay? I hate seeing her, hearing her, knowing about her. I would have literally rather Nia Jax won."

TomTakagi wrote on 23.05.2025:
[8.0] "So this got really good. Nia kicking out of the moonsault was a big deal and a great nearfall. Her Annihilator always looks good to a standing opponent and they got me on that one, too. Finish was good with Tiffy showing a ruthless side to get the win, and even though it was accidental the blood helped here. Nia's improvement needs to be studied, but this was a good win for Tiffy."

[10.0] "One of the best matches either Tiffany Stratton or Nia Jax have had - improvement over their previous encounters and a great way to close the show. Made a lot of sense having them kick out of each other's finishers as it helped just build the match to the next level. Overall great stuff"

[7.0] "Very solid throughout. Did not need the Naomi and Jade business at all. The chair dropkick at the ends boosts this a whole point."

[8.0] "The 2nd best match of the night, this was a hoot. Tiffany Stratton put on a super-sympathetic performance against her ex-best friend, Nia Jax. Now, Nia Jax has been moving me this past year; she has many great TV Matches, and you can add this to her catalog of matches. The action was fun from the start of the match, it was rolling as it got into every gear, and the fans were enjoying it. Naomi made her presence known, similar to Jade Cargill. I thought the match was over when Nia Jax squashed her like a bug, but she got the ropes, then proceeded to get the victory after kicking her in the face while she held a chair, which busted her open, then Tiffany Stratton retained. This was a hell of a Main Event Match. I loved it and thought this made Tiffany Stratton look so strong as a champion. She has new challengers, which is needed because we can finally move on from this Nia Jax chapter for her."

[8.0] "GREAT main event on SmackDown this week and Tiffany & Nia deserves props for this. The match started slow but kept building and building the longer the match went and Nia gets a lot of hate but she delivered in this match."
Some Guy wrote on 18.05.2025:
[7.0] "Good match for the women's title. This was a pretty sloppy fight that somehow turned out well. Nia was more statuesque than usual while Tiffy had to work hard to get things moving along. No idea why Naomi came out only to be taken out by Jade a minute later, all that did was distract from the match. This is kind of a slog to get through at first, but thankfully things pick up big time later on with some genuinely exciting moments. Nia kicking out of a PME was surprising but it made sense to make her look so strong. Nia hitting an Annihilator and Tiffy grabbing the rope at the last second was a great false finish. Nia goes to grab a chair, Tiffy kicks it in her face which left Nia a bloody mess, Tiffy hits another PME for the win to retain the title. While there were a few issues, this match was ultimately better than expected and a good defense for Tiffy. 7/10"
Sakki wrote on 18.05.2025:
[8.0] "Put some respect on Nia's name already. The match was intense; Nia kicking out of the PME was shocking, as was Tiffany with the rope break after a devastating-looking annihilator. Nia got busted open, which added to the intensity of the match, of the feud. The only real issue was the Naomi-Jade interference, which was just bad. Should've been at a PLE. 8.5/10."

"(9.0) Don't seem to be able to rate this match for some reason, but if I could then it would be a solid 9. Great showing from both women, clearly have great chemistry together and want each other to do well. I think Tiffy needed this win / performance to legitimise her reign after the unfortunate Mania feud, and now, whatever happens, it's been a solid enough first title reign for her. The final 5 minutes were brilliant, 2 near falls, and with only 2 mins of the show remaining, I was sure the Annihilator was going to crown a new champ. Joe was great on the call too and really added to the drama."

[8.0] "It's always fun to see performers win over the crowd as the match goes on, and that's exactly what happened here. I'm not a Nia fan, I find her style too slow and typically feel very little when watching her matches, but these last couple weeks she has definitively upped her game. The arena was practically silent for the early false finishes, but especially after the second failed hip attack from Nia, the pace picked up and the crowd began to roar. The Annihilator looked brutal and that chairshot that busted Nia open was gnarly. Tiffany was great too, that moonsault looked perfect both times. They stole the show."
RB wrote on 17.05.2025:
[10.0] "This match was fantastic! It accomplished something that is very difficult to do when the result feels a bit predictable. It created moments of great suspense where I felt the predictable outcome (Tiffany retaining) was in serious doubt. Nia landing on top of Tiffany looked absoutely brutal and the dropkick Tiffy delivered to Nia into the chair looked amazing. Hope both ladies are ok! Tiffany's title reign continues to impress -- her in-ring work is getting to a consistently high level, which is something you love to see in young talents. It's scary to think how good she truly become if she's this good, at this age."

[8.0] "This match was really getting going when for some inane reason Naomi's music hits during the contest. The ref (in a night of unforgettable ref ineptitude) can only hope Naomi gets off the apron with a chair in her hand. Then... JADE'S MUSIC HITS. Why oh why during a title match, let alone any match, especially when Stratton and Jax were working their asses off during this one? It ends up being good despite ALL THAT, as Tiffy overcomes Nia's repeated attempts to cheat, which backfires when she gets a chair she introduced into the match dropkicked right in her face. The credibility of the officials (maybe mirroring nationally the credibility of branches of government? ) dissolves tonight, but Tiffy picks up a great victory, which strengthens this championship run for her. Who's next? !"

"Good match especially in the second half with very sloppy and slow start. Nia's moves here look like they have 0 impact in comparison to other powerhouses but Tiffany did her best to carry the match."
LadySnowblood wrote on 17.05.2025:
[6.0] "This match was solid at best between Tiffany Stratton and Nia Jax, espacilly the last half and minutes of the match. I don't know in which crazy world this is a 10/10 match and on the same level like Rhea Ripley vs. Iyo Sky vs. Bianca Belair from Wrestlenamia."

[5.0] "The main event was okay. Tiffany and Nia did their best, but most of the match was ordinary. There was one good sequence in the entire match. Also, having Naomi and Jade outside was unnecessary. Just get these two in a steel cage match and finish with this already! I hope that whoever comes next will be a strong foe for Tiffany because 'Tiffy Time' has been disappointing so far."
HarryKane wrote on 17.05.2025:
[10.0] "Honestly, bit underrated right now, this was a great match that checked all the boxes, maybe I wasn't expecting much considering it's a Nia Jax match afterall and this did have the slurry of botched and sloppiness that comes along with it, but it worked in the strengths of Tiffany here who worked as a great champion here."
MediaCritic wrote on 17.05.2025:
[10.0] "Briliiant brilliant match, the closing minutes were excellent as it paid of to the slow burn that got us there, Nia being the first woman to kick out of PME did build on the tenison that Nia would win the title but the Naomi's intervention, along with the booking of making Tiffany strong in it was well done."

[9.0] "A really really good match, I think there would still be haters because of the names involved, but they made the most of it and exceeded those expectaitons. Genuinely Tiffany's best match in the main roster as of the moment. The closing minutes of the match were intense, and Jax's near fall after the Annihilator was really well executed along with the whole ending stretch."
Williams Suit wrote on 17.05.2025:
[10.0] "Probably the best Tiffany Stratton match on the main roster as well as her reign as the champ, this was needed, and Nia did silenced her critics once again, when it's time to put into the work, Nia is one great worker in that category. While this match had its share of sloppy moments, there was enough good action to make it an enjoyable experience overall."

[8.0] "It was a great match, better than their first meeting in February. I liked Stratton's stamina and Nia's power. I also liked the references to the Lyra/Jax and Naomi/Jax matches. The end of the match reinforces a resilient Stratton. The chair shot was violent."

"This could easily have been a wrestlemania match. I wasn't particularly excited for this match going into it, but as it picked up, I was unironically floored. Some of the physicality of the match was genuinely surprising, and the final stretch was great. I'm not sure what to rate it yet, either **** or ****.1/4"
Jamildo2 wrote on 17.05.2025:
[7.0] "Though this match was good. Nia Jax and Tiffy seem to have a lot of chemistry and they traded finished kick outs which worked surprisingly well. The Annihilather that Stratton took looked particularly gnarly. The chair shot at the end that busted Jax open clearly WAS gnarly. Hope she's ok. Good match."
