[6.0] "Not nearly as bad as most of the PPV kick-offs, probably because Booker T's contributions were kept to a minimum. The hype videos were even quite good and a few were even new. Cesaro and Jeff Hardy should be a bit embarrassed kicking off a PPV with R-Truth, Dana Brooke and Carmella in action, but they put on an above average match, but nowhere near their limits and neither got out of 3rd gear. Cesaro really must find a way out of WWE before we all forget he was once a "best bout machine. ""

[6.0] "You can skip pretty much the entire kickoff. The Jeff Hardy vs Cesaro match was worth watching though."

[6.0] "Unsurprisingly a highly competent match given the participants, but there also wasn't really anything special about this. Cesaro dominated and ran through the traditional heel playbook and Jeff shone during the brief comeback spots - a match you'll have seen a thousand times before, but still, fun enough to warrant its place here."

[7.0] "Good match for a Kickoff. Maybe i would put Hardy vs. Cesaro in the main show instead of MVP / Lashley vs. R-Truth."
