[4.0] "Quite a bad start to the show, Paige's performance was pretty lackluster and Styles didn't make much sense going from 'this is personal' to then promoting the PPV but whatever. The New Day and The Bar segment was below average as was English & Rusev but it picked up at the end with Lynch and Flair putting on an entertaining final segment. The Dillinger/Orton bit was nice as well it was quite suitably disturbing. The matches: Mixed tag *** Benjamin v Bryan *** Asuka v Royce *1/2"
[5.0] "This SmackDown felt VERY werid. For starters, the opening segment was a disaster from a combo of AJs acting to "WWE Logic" storytelling. Andrade/Zelina losing clean to Carmella/Truth was disappointing to say the least. The New Day segment was stale as always, I am so over them. Shelton vs Daniel was awesome as expected and I was not expecting Shelton to win at all but hopefully this means they have a push in story for him? Fingers crossed. Asuka vs Peyton was good, probably the best combo in the Asuka/Naomi/Billie/Peyton feud. The Becky/Charlotte segment was what you would expect."
[5.0] "Well , wwe always 1week close to pvp does not make a high potential things. So 1) I am big fan of AJ Styles but this promo was so bad and u can feel this things is 100% Fake :D 2) Carmella & R-Truth vs Andrade Almas & Zelina Vega wasn't bad match , i think in weekly matches this match was little good as others in smackdown in afew last weeks. but i like see more of Zelina Vega if she got more in her arsenal. 3) Tye Req a match of paige but he don't wait till match start and whole things change to hard fighting that totally wasn't bad , almost Normal. i like tye dillinger personality but he isn't on orton lvl at this time at least. 4) New day promo was awful and every thing happened at this time was bad totally. 5) Milwaukee Story , Ooooook (-. -) i hope at this time this going to new thing , not same Repetitious Story. 6) Shelton Benjamin vs Daniel Bryan was best thing at this week. i enjoyed of this match. 7) Asuka vs Peyton Royce was just for time skip , so low rate match. 8) Becky promos for me wasn't strong like her other promos at afew past weeks."
[4.0] "The AJ Styles promo was god awful, his acting was brutally hard to believe and over the top dramatic. Paige's delivery of the promo was alright, but the things she said were just so ridiculous I couldn't buy into it. Carmella & R-Truth vs. Andrade Almas & Zelina Vega This was pretty alright, a solid entertaining tag match. Randy Orton destroying Tye's finger explains last week's events but I wish Orton wasn't wasted on someone like Dillinger, unless they elevated Dillinger. Shelton Benjamin vs. Daniel Bryan (9:10) This was sweet. I'm glad Shelton is getting used properly and I hope it lasts. Even tho he won because of the Miz, he still won and hopefully that gives him a little bit of a push. Asuka (w/Naomi) vs. Peyton Royce (w/Billie Kay) The Iconics are the most annoying, awful superstars on the show. Becky Lynch's "suprise" was kind of a waste of time and I'm not sure how that main evented the show. Should've just been Benjamin vs. Bryan. Just built up their match for Saturday but didn't really get me that much more excited for it, if we're being honest. Not as good of a SmackDown as usual. Where was Nakamura? Where's Samoa Joe? He seems to miss a lot of shows."
