Bronson Reed vs. Shinsuke Nakamura

[5.0] "[2.5*] I thought it was pretty decent. Not a classic for sure but it was okay. Shinsuke really needs to start picking up some wins if he is going to be the number 1 contender and Bronson/JONAH is a good start for that. Build him like a real threat and you will have a great match-up for the WHC."

[6.0] "Decent match with some good exchanges. This was a great way to pick up the stories and put Shinsuke in the World Title race - {**3/4}"

[6.0] "Match was good and they tried to wrestle an above average contest here, but the pace was very bad. Move, pause, move, pause, move, pause. There was no dynamism and the fact this a rematch of a match we've seen like twice before with a guy WWE doesn't know what to do with him doesn't help. They had their moments of good wrestling and the overall product was satisfactory. They're both great, but there wasn't enough motivation to do a better job. (*** 1/4)"

[4.0] "This was terrible. Bronson Reed was clumsy, out of position half of the time, botchy and dangerous. Shins heart is still not in it and this just felt like getting this match over and done with so they could draw a line under this nothing off a fued that has gone on far longer than it has any right to."

[7.0] "This was a fun back-and-forth match between these two. While I do think WWE didn't necessarily NEED Reed on their roster, I do like that they're making an effort to showcase him. I think he was great for NJPW, and is kind of an example of that. He faced one of the greatest Japanese wrestlers of all time and had a fun match. I think, given more time, they would put on an even better match."

[7.0] "This match was the best of their series of matches and Shinsuke Nakamura picked up a big win (initially i was surprised by this, the reason became obvious by the end of the night! ) bronson looked strong defeat, i hope to see Bronson get a push. Bronson's running powerbomb is a great addition to his arsenal."

[4.0] "I am completely bored of this match up and none of their bouts have been good. It honestly feels like I'm rewatching the same match every time, with Cole going on about how Bronson Reed is a hitman or something. Reed wasn't great here and neither was Shinsuke."

[7.0] "I really enjoy matches between Shinsuke and Bronson , just great action packed contests with many hard hitting strikes. Nakamura turned on Rollins after the main event which is shocking considering he already had this match against Bronson, that just shows how reliable Nakamura is to do double duty in one night. Overall fun match and I like how Nakamura had to hit two Kinshasa to put Bronson down , that made Bronson look like a tank."

[7.0] "This was a pretty decent affair in what is hopefully the end of the Reed and Nakamura program. Both guys got to showcase what makes them special in a back and forth match that didnt rob Reed of his big man aura despite Nakamura going over clean. Well worked, all the spots youd expect, kept you guessing on the result, and didnt overstay its welcome."

[4.0] "This matchup is wearing thin. It's the same thing every time. Yes, Reed is mobile for his size. Yes, Nakamura kicks hard. We know these things. The commentators know these things. They remind us every week. I like both of these guys, but introducing some more flare to the feud is essential if they want to keep things fresh. Promos, characterization, stipulations. Thankfully, Nakamura seems to be moving on to a main event program with Rollins, so we might be out of the clear with the Reed feud for now, but in the future, I hope they flesh out these midcard storylines with some more substance."

[6.0] "Nakamura and Bronson's 4th fight since 3 months ago. Honestly, I see it better than others they've had but this rivalry probably isn't going anywhere. However, after watching the show I think I understood what they wanted to do with this fight and I guess they will push Nakamura."

[6.0] "Not a bad, but not a greatest match either, it was an alright clash of the Bronson and Shinsuke there, nothing memorable, nothing bad too, just a normal match on RAW, but Shinsukes win, love to see, Bronson took 2 kinshasa so he looked strong anyway, nothing losing here, match gets a ***1/4"

[5.0] "I don't think this really lived up to their first couple of matches where they looked like a very complementary pairing. It was a fine match, it just didn't have the sense of physicality that their initial matches had, and consequently it came across as a bit flat. It didn't really feel like Nakamura was doing much other than coasting if I'm being honest, and that seemed to put a limit on how good this could be."

[6.0] "Another fight between the 2 and once again it's the same content in the fight. Nothing fancy, Nakamura doesn't get his fingers out of his ass. Only the result changes. We'll have to wait and see what happens next for Nakamura, who's finally got a win if it changes his short-term future with WWE, but it's a good ***1/4."
