[5.0] "Thought this was a fine show, it may seem like a bad sign that my favourite part of a wrestling show was a sing off but I have always loved Big Bill"

[6.0] "A pretty average show with Rusev looking strong to start it off and Sami Zayn really looking like the crowd's favorite of the night in the end. I thought it was somewhat funny that the guy who looks like Batista got squashed in barely a minute, and I'm not sure that having Natalya come down to NXT to tap out to Emma but oh well. The main event here was definitely the match of the night and the only one to go over 5 minutes. Solid 2.5 star show."

[6.0] "A middle of the road show for me. It was entertaining and had some solid matches. Nothing to complain about, but nothing to criticize either really."

[9.0] "WWE NXT has fast become on of my favorite hours of WWE programming in the last year or so. The matches are top notch and show that there is a good list of talent that will help to keep the WWE strong for years to come. This episode was no exception. Opening with Kofi Kingston one of my favorite wrestlers of all time didn't hurt. It was nice to see Kofi helping to get Rusev over, as good veteran talent should do. The NXT Divas... sorry Women consistently wrestle some of the best female matches on WWE programming. Adding Natalya to the mix is sure to only heighten the already high match quality. The squash match with Mason Ryan and Tyler Breeze was, well a squash match but still entertaining. The two out of three falls match was amazing crisp and quick the twelve minutes went by in a snap I can't wait to see more from both competitors."
