[5.0] "This show was a mixed bag. I don't like how they went about the build up for the HHH/Batista Backlash rematch because it's not exactly good TV. Triple H cuts his usual boring promo and then beats Hurricane and Rosey in a pointless handicap match and then still continues saying the same recycled stuff after, and the main event segment doesn't focus on Batista at all and is there to set up a HHH vs JR next week. Why? There is a good Benoit vs Christian match on this show that gets a lot of time and has some good set up with Benoit and Edge continuing to feud and Edge in general is very entertaining as Mr. MITB. There's some good build for Backlash as well where Jericho and Benjamin brawl at the Highlight Reel and the cheap win Davari gets on Shawn Michaels leads to a great moment where later in the show HBK wants Hogan as his tag team partner. That's just printing money right there! There's just too much weird stuff on this show though like Kane stalking Trish and then his storyline with Lita is back again where they are a couple now. Ugh! The Chris Masters squash match is terrible with the crowd turning on it very quickly. His gimmick isn't working at all."

[3.0] "A pretty poor show here, with the first hour being terrible with the Divas opening the show, HHH beating Hurricane and Rosey, a Masters squash, and HBK losing to DAIVARI. The second hour was good outside of the final segment, which made HHH vs. JR for next week. Ugh."

[5.0] "Not a great episode. Christian/Benoit is well worth checking out but the rest really isn't worth watching."
