Asuka vs. Bayley

[7.0] "I thought this was a very good match and I really love the whole storyline of this match and the other women's title match this is a fun start to the ppv."

[7.0] "It's a really solid match and opener to the show, but it was the storytelling that was the highlight with Asuka doing double duty later on in the show."

[6.0] "A solid opener, a nice contest. I liked Asuka more than Bayley, but both of them did an honest job, realizing some nice exchanges. It surely is an anonymous SummerSlam opener. I enjoyed the ending with Sasha taking the hit to help her friend, storytelling was the main focus of this contest."

[6.0] "These two have definitely had better matches. This wasn't bad by any means, but there was nothing all that special here either. This was just a bit above average, as there were a good amount of things I enjoyed. There just wasn't enough here to account for a higher rating."

[4.0] "This started off pretty hot with Asuka kicking ass & being compelling all the way through with it -- her kicking Bayley's chest in, manipulating that shoulder, busting out her explosive signature moves - it was all some good shit! Then Bayley took over and the match lost most of its energy & it got very uninteresting, to put it bluntly. A gentleman's 4/10 seems about right for me."

[6.0] "This was a pretty good match until the BS finish, but that was what you had to expect coming into this. That's seemingly how every Bayley match ends nowadays, but at least the match itself was pretty good. ***1/4"

[6.0] "A decent match with the purpose of setting up the next match between Banks and Asuka later on in the night."

[7.0] "A fun opener with a great story. A lot of the action was done to set the story for Banks/Asuka later in the night and it worked. Some beautiful transitions and holds by Bayley, really impressive. (***1/2)"

[7.0] "A good match with smart storytelling and the right result. It's not the best Bayley vs Asuka match, and is actually quite low on the list of Asuka vs Bayley matches, but that's more of a testament to how great these two women are with each other. It was a quality 12-minute match to start the PPV. 3. 25 stars."

[6.0] "Good opener and I really liked the inside cradle win. I liked the mix up of Bayle's arsenal. Target of leg was used to set up the Sasha Vs Asuka bout later tonight. Bayley picked up the win but only because Sasha took the hit for her. ***1/4"

[8.0] "Really decent match. I felt the ending was good even if it was a bit cheap but it does push the narrative for the later Banks v Asuka but overall a solid"

[8.0] "It was really good. Asuka and Bayley have great chemistry together, and it has shown before in previous matches. There were great sequences here in which Asuka used the armbar and Asuka Lock, and Bayley with great transitions to knee bars. The finish was a little flat but it set up Sasha vs. Asuka for later so I'll take it. And also, Bayley finally beat Asuka. ****."

[7.0] "Asuka and Sasha may have overshadowed this later, but this was still really good. Love absolutely everything about Bayley and Sasha right now, they are killing it on every detail of their characters and developing story."

[5.0] "Pretty good opener but I really felt something was held back which is understandable knowing Asuka wrestled twice"

[7.0] "Really good opener. It was more there to build the RAW title match and to do storytelling about the Sasha/Bayley relationship, but it was still enjoyable with two of the greatest women in the company."

[7.0] "Very good opening match, the outcome was pretty predictable and the roll-up finish was lame but served a purpose to keep Asuka strong and build tension for Asuka Vs Sasha later in the show."

[7.0] "Good match but i didnt like the finish was another roll up and i know that was necessary but still very lame. the match had as always a good sequences between this two and Asuka once again proves that she is the best on main roster"
