He sacrafices a lot and he took some heavy beating in this match. Gargano finally got what he deserved. I hate this guy. What I didn't like about this show was the fact that out of 5 matches, only 2 of them ended fair way. The rest was interruptions, unfair pinfall or some other outside interference. More than 50% of all matches that night ended this way."

[7.0] "An ok episode this week. Very weak compared to the momentum gathered from the last 2 weeks. The main event , Cruiserweight title match and Candice/Toni were some really good matches from a wrestling perspective. I hate the fact that they put the title on Ruff and Lumis/Thatcher was a average match . However we got some storyline advancements like the revelation of the mysterious masked figure in Indi Hartwell (not that we did not expect it) . Shotzi/Candice feud is picking up the heat and Grimes post match attack was one of the better things on the show to watch as well. NXT going through some hard times and I wish they can get past it ."

[6.0] "A bit weak episode compared to usual , but a shocking opening for Ruff, Priest was hilarious ! Top 3 of the Night 3. Io Shirai 2. Santos Escobar 1. Leon Ruff"

[6.0] "It was a good show that was only marred by an absolutely baffling booking decision of putting the North American title on Leon Ruff, who was a jobber prior to this win. Gargano did a good job of selling it but it made him and the title look like a complete joke. As did Ruff who couldn? t put the belt on, or run away properly without looking like a goofball. Just a stupid idea. On the positive am looking forward to Io-Rhea very much."

[7.0] "Wasn't the strongest NXT episode out there, but it started off with a jarring, yet exciting surprise and ended with a lively main event. Other highlights were the cruiserweight championship match and the prime target for Shirai/Ripley."

[10.0] "Loved this episode of NXT, Leon Ruff for NXT NA Champ well done son, was not expecting him too win and the kid deserves it the other matches and build up's were also very good"

[7.0] "This wasn't actually a great show but the matches were satisfactory and the show as a whole was nice."

[7.0] "Not the best NXT of the last time but we had some good matches and the train for the storylines of this period is UE vs McAfee and it's rail well"

[5.0] "What to say about the show itself... I didn't like it very much. It was very bad! Why was it necessary to drain the Gargano? What for? In the first defense... I would have understood if priest had beaten him, but he lost to a pathetic jober. The match Between lerae and Storm did not surprise me. I don't think I'll remember it tomorrow. The lumis and Grimes feud will continue. That's not bad. Well, the main event. A very good match, but it was better before."

[7.0] "Johnny Gargano is the male Sasha Banks (until recently in her case) - when he wins a title, he pretty much immediately loses it. Gargano gimmicked his wheel so that he would defend against an "easy" opponent in Leon Ruff, but thanks to Damian Priest, Ruff got the shock win to claim the North American Title in one of the biggest ever NXT upsets. The belt falling down his body because it's too big for him was really funny. The rest of the matches were of a good standard, and there was hype for Io Shirai vs. Rhea Ripley next week."
