[7.0] "A much better show than last week with better quality matches. Theres still some Royal Rumble qualifying matches and while they are all short, I thought they was a lot more fun with Tajiri vs Billy Kidman being a decent sprint as well as an entertaining triple threat match where Bradshaw beats Tajiri's henchmen. Benoit and Cena win a good storyline focused handicap match against Lesnar, Morgan and Rhyno. I wasn't really a big fan of Angle's involvement in Los Guerreros feud as I felt like there was too many unnecessary moving parts watering down Chavo's fantastic heel turn, but the Tag Match is a solid main event."

[6.0] "This was much improved over last week. There's some solid wrestling here, and stuff that builds towards the rumble. Guerrero's feud is pretty good but the match was kind of just there, unfortunately. A solid go-home show for the Rumble."

[9.0] "Really enjoyed this Smackdown! The 3 on 2 match was great, props to everyone involved including Paul Heyman. Mysterio/Palumbo and Tajiri/Kidman were good short matches as well, and I like the Rumble qualifying thread. The main event was a solid match but great as a character/story building segment. Very strong Rumble build."
