[6.0] "In terms of in ring action, I would say its average and maybe even below average. Nothing special but nothing too bad either but I like the promo works as well as the storylines."

[6.0] "Not a very good show in terms of wrestling; I liked the opening promo and the main event, the rest was a big meh..."

[5.0] "A meh episode of smackdown, honestly. Aside from Apollo, Bayley and Daniel/Jey/Roman stuff, I didn't really care much about anything else."

[6.0] "6/10 but 4 points are due to Daniel Bryan honestly Top 3 of the Night 3. Jey Uso 2. Seth Rollins 1. Daniel Bryan"

[7.0] "The major downside was that the majority of feuds didn't really develop much and too many short length matches but I understand the reasoning for that The high points were really good, I loved Bryan's opening promo and a great main event. The Apollo segment is logical. If they can balance the time out for 2 hours, it's a better show."

[7.0] "This was nearly lower, but darn if Bryan and Jey didn't work their butts off to provide a really good cage match to close the show. Roman and Bryan have positioned themselves nicely for their feud, sadly truncated as it may be, and they play off of each other well. I could have done without the bits between the Profits and Corbin and Zayn, and this episode had a lot of time devoted to Reginald that probably could have been better spent. The whole Apollo Crews thing is leaving a bit of a bad taste in my mouth, the substance of the promo was solid and Apollo's delivery was good even if his accent still needs some work. But did we really need him brandishing a spear and flanked by dudes in fatigues? Felt like too much. Fortunately the Roman and Bryan stuff anchored the show, without that this would have been a rough watch."

[6.0] "Bryan/Uso aside, there was a fair amount wrong with this show, with the silliness between the Street Profits, King Corbin and Sami Zayn, Apollo Crews being packaged into a racially charged gimmick that you could tell no-one from the BAME community had a hand in writing, Reginald still being the focus of the Banks/Belair program, and Murphy getting brought back just to lose to Cesaro. Bryan, Uso and Roman Reigns helped make the score as high as it is, and at least WWE threw me a little bone with a short Bayley segment."
