[8.0] "This was a really fun show, the opening two matches are great and while there is a bit of a drag in the middle and the second tag match would have been a lot better without Shane constantly making himself the centre of attention, the main event is Jinder Mahal's 2nd best match ever with his first best being the first match against AJ Styles."

[7.0] "I was in attendance live and it was a fun show. The crowd was on fire for the tag team championship match as well as the triple threat. Not a spectacular PPV but not a bad one either."

[7.0] "Nothing unmissable, the tag titles would be my pick for match of the night but even that took a while to find it's rhythm with the unorthodox rules, but once it got into it Rusev & Gable looked like stars. US title was a well done 3 way but baffled with Ziggler winning. Women's match was nothing special, while another Charlotte/Natalya match could have certainly used a stipulation to spice it up, I don't think lumberjack was the one to do that - no real interesting story told other than Carmella's teased cash-in and Riott Squad already come off as complete afterthoughts. Bludgeon Brothers & Breezango should have been more competitive, Breezeango are better than squash fodder and it's not like it did a huge amount for the Bludgeon Brothers either. The 2 refs match started slowwww but got into the story by the end, I really hope that was a Shane heel turn though, he's been totally unlikeable for a long time now. AJ/Mahal was predictably AJ doing his best to make Jinder vaguely interesting and only succeeding in parts. His title win infront of the hot UK crowd was a much better match. Bye bye Jinder in main events, won't be missed. This show started off good and never got truly bad but didn't really keep up that momentum either. Rusev being extremely over was highlight of the night."

[7.0] "Surprisngly good PPV. The Triple Threat was well paced with some good sequences and ring work (****). The 4-way tag match was MotN with a chaotic pace and every team looking great (****). Lumberjack match was boring, these two could definitely do better (**). BB vs Breezango was a squash, not much else to say (**). The career tag match was messy and overbooked, but entertaining in spots with a nice finish (**1/2). The WWE title match was really good, among Jinder's best with some good psychology and storytelling (***1/4). Overall a good PPV which delivered more than it initially seemed it would."

DanTalksRasslin wrote on 26.12.2017:

[5.0] "The last WWE PPV is generally a B-show, and this year's didn't pretend to be anything else. Styles got a pretty good match out of Jinder in what will presumably be Jinder's exit from the main event scene for the time being. Owens/Zayn vs Orton/Nakamura featured great competitors but was hampered by the bickering-referees angle. The other matches were fine enough, though the Bludgeon Brothers squash didn't really need to be on PPV, and there seemed to be a lot of downtime to stretch this out to PPV length. Not an awful show, but a somwhat uninspiring end to the year for WWE."

[6.0] "Acceptable event with some good matches but nothing major, it's predictable and without any big moment to enjoy. I don't like the story between Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan, but the match is okay. The main event is a good match, the tag teams are great and the match is exciting. Charlotte vs Natalya is the typical Lumberjack match."

[7.0] "Good PPV, 3 Way for the United States title was Freaking Great. I did not expect Ziggler winning the title. Tag Team Title Match: Awesome in my Opinion this is the best match of the night. These Suplex by Gable were Insane. Charlotte Flair vs Natalya: Here Botchamania makes a Party, what a bad match. The Bludgeron Brothers vs Breezango was Filling. KO And Sami vs Randy and Nakamura was more Story than In Ring Skills. Jinder Mahal vs AJ Styles: Fun Match, good work of both"

Nomics wrote on 18.12.2017:

[3.0] "Not going to give a full review, but basically there was way too little wrestling on this show, less than half the runtime. What wrestling there was was somewhat basic, if perfectly professional, and done to very little heat or crowd engagement. On top of that, the dual ref stip in the tag match made it a total mess, and was aggravating to watch."

[5.0] "Not as bad as it could have been, but still a meh show. Opener was MOTN surprisingly, ***3/4. Tag match was fun, but too cluttered, ***1/2. Women's match was a total bore fest with a terrible after match promo, **1/2. BB vs Cops was a squash with no heat, *. Career tag match was an overbooked mess with a decent finish, ***1/4. Main event was fine but way too long, ***1/2."

Makalu wrote on 18.12.2017:

[6.0] "For a December Death Zone PPV, this wasn't that bad. U. S. Title match was actually pretty damn fun, loud crowd. Outcome feels like somebody told Vince that Ziggler buried his booking on a podcast, though (***œ). Tag Titles were a clusterfuck but ended up fun. Questioning the humanity of Chad Gable, what a beast (**œ). Women's Title was awful (*œ). Squash match was time wasting (œ). ReferMania was a real mess but it was all about the intrigue of Bryan/Shane and it kinda worked. I was decently entertained (***). Styles/Mahal was great, Mahal stepped up here and delivered his best performance yet. Of course, Styles is one of - if not - the best in the world so he was great as always. Correct decision too, much more possibilities with Styles as champ heading into the Road to Mania. (****Œ). Overall, not bad for what looked like a dud factory on paper. Boston crowd helped a lot, too."

[4.0] "Corbin vs Roode vs Ziggler - this was very good opening match. I enjoyed entire match with Corbin dominated by his power and Ziggler taking opportunities and Roode was pride fighter. This was unfortunately match of the night, ***3/4. 8-man tag felt pretty boring except the duo of Rusev & English and the german suplexes from Gable, **. I skip the womens and the squash match. Owens/Zayn vs Naka/Orton was exactly what I think it would be. Boring overbooking bullshit, *3/4. The main event was good match. Styles targeting Mahal's leg and he sold it well. Story of the match led to the finish. I think that Mahal could be solid midcarder. I am wondering who will be next challenger for Styles. Rating of the match: ***1/2. Not so entertaining show for me. Only first and last match were good. Rest was boring or skipable."

[7.0] "This show was so much better than I thought it was going to be. The build up was bad but the matches delivered. Ziggler Vs Corbin Vs Roode was a solid opener but I think Corbin should have retained ***1/2. Usos Vs English and Rusev Vs Gable and Benjamin Vs New Day was fun but it was a cluster at times when it was basically 2 separate matches taking place in one ring ***1/2. Flair Vs Natalya was a mess of a match. I enjoyed nothing about it DUD. Bludgeon Brothers Vs Breezango was a DUD of course but I am just glad it wasn't on the pre show that way it makes them feel more important. Owens and Zayn Vs Orton and Nakamura was pretty good. I was not looking forward to this at all but it delivered for the most part and the ending made me excited for SD on Tuesday. It did take awhile to start getting good though ***1/4. And wow was Jinder Vs Styles good. This is easily Mahal's best match ever. Styles, as always, looked simply phenomenal and him retaining was obviously the right decision ***3/4."

[8.0] "Clash of Champions was a very fun B-Show PPV. While the Womens Championship Lumberjack Match was a mess, and Bludgeon Brothers vs. Breezango was an unsatisfying squash match, the rest of the show was very fun. The US Championship Triple Threat was a great showcase of all three guys, and I didn't expect the result. The Tag Championship four way was my favorite match of the night in terms of ring work, all 4 teams did amazingly and I would have been happy with any winning. The Tag Match with dual Special Refs was what you'd expect from an overbooked McMahon match, with the feud between Daniel Bryan & Shane McMahon intenfying, but we got some good action as well. The WWE Championship match was the best yet from Jinder Mahal, I was very impressed with his performance. Him and AJ have excellent chemistry together."
