[8.0] "Very good show. The main event was pretty damn good (4 stars for sure). The opener was OK, Heelsworth is fun and the Women's match match was a solid TV match."

[8.0] "Another great episode for Smackdown, I'm almost always saying the same stuff because the show is always interesting, in-ring and extra-ring. I enjoyed to see Luke Harper against the Wyatt Family, and the pinfall on John Cena was unexpected. Dean Ambrose vs AJ Styles is good enough as a main event, not the best ending but still acceptable. Also the show sets up fine the Elimination Chamber, I expect to see Miz vs Corbin next."

[8.0] "Really liked the main event and the women's tag match. Also love that Nikki and Natalya finally will meet at EC!"

[8.0] "A solid show that mostly set up a majority of the Elimination Chamber card, and it did that very well. Cena's promo was a standard good Cena promo, but it felt like it had a little more weight given his achievement and the match he had on Sunday. Both tag matches on this show were solid, with face Harper being a joy and both Mickie and Naomi showing off a lot. The two squashes were somewhat mediocre and only served to perpetuate angles. I kind of hoped that AA vs Usos had actually happened, but the segment it became was alright and lead to an okay-sounding match for the PPV. The main event segment shined incredibly bright, however. Ambrose & Styles have wonderful chemistry together, and while they had a standard TV Main Event, with them it was a hot and exciting one. Just as good however was Miz and Corbin on commentary, both bantering in their own way, with Miz in particular operating on an entirely different gear than anybody else. The whole thing came together so well (***3/4) and the post-match with Corbin and Styles standing tall was nice. I have to bump up the episode's rating for that main event and the efficient build to just about the entire card of the PPV."
