[3.0] "Drew vs. Ryzin was a regular squash, but McIntyre showed up as usual with good grades. The Authors of Pain's Squash was fast and unassuming. In a word it was unnecessary. Cruiserweight Classic participant Raul Mendoza showed a good squash and made a little squash with some of the technique and dynamics that made this squash the most interesting of all the squash in this episode of NXT. On the contrary, women's fight was dynamic and fun to watch but DQ ended and the score can not be high. We have to exclude Ruby Riot from this story line and start the Asuka program from Nikki Cross which may be interesting, although I would prefer a title shot for Ember Moon. 3, 5/10"

[7.0] "Drew kicked the show off with a good squash-opener. Authors of Pain added another squash to the mix, then pretty cool staredown with Heavy Machinery, who look like pretty believable opponents to AoP. Deville, unfortunately, does nothing for me... yet. I'm glad to see Mendoza back, he had a good match with Velveteen Dream who is becoming a favourite of mine. Raul needs character though. Ohno vs. Black next week? I sense some interference but let's hope they will have a good match before that. Despite the tired crowd and the finish, I liked women's triple threat elimination match more than their bout at Takeover. The ending of the show was badass. I liked the show."
