[6.0] "Definitely worse than the previous SmackDown. The real highlight was the ending segment between Roman and Rollins, but everything else was average and below."

[4.0] "The final segment was the best thing on this very average episode. The other stuff was very average."

[5.0] "I wonder what these mentions of the shield grouping will lead to. It's still my dream to see a three-way shield fight at wrestling mania. Lita is back in the company - it's fine. The first fight on the show is the only joy in terms of wrestling. Otherwise, it is below average. Sammy doesn't look funny or annoying at all, just boring. it was funny with Natalia's record."

[4.0] "This was not a good show on Friday and I do not recommend checking it out. Also, I find it hypocritical to bring in these aging legends after releasing their current stars due to age.....makes sense."

[5.0] "The Usos had a fun promo to start things off followed by a fun contenders' match with a predictable pick of winners in Viking Raiders. Zayn had a fun segment mocking Knoxville as well as Nakamura & Boogs while Aliyah & Natalya are the new rivals working on a Guinness Record'! Anything is better than nothing, huh' Anyways, Ricochet vs Sheamus was my MOTN as it was entertaining and creative thereby making it the best match than their previous ones. Lita still has a wild reaction among the crowd which is heart-warming to see and her segment with Charlotte was fine. Kofi vs Moss wasn't needed here and it was a time-killer. The main segment between Reigns & Rollins was great and this was the sole aspect that saved this show from shambles! Dull episode in overall."

[10.0] "a normal smackdown show With some good fights, filler segments (Sami Zayn's and Aliyah's 3 second match), Lita's return and the Main Event with Roman and Seth"

[8.0] "This was an angle/promo heavy show, and those parts delivered. The Usos opening promo was good, Sami's segment was fun, Charlotte and Lita were really good together, as were Roman and Seth. The wrestling part of it wasn't groundbreaking but it was fine."

[0.0] "There was more wrestling on Rampage (32 minutes in 1 hour) than on this show (27 minutes in 2 hours), which is unacceptable. The rest of the show doesn't matter if that's the case, it's garbage."

[4.0] "Very average. Matches were absolutly forgettable, Sami's segment was useless... Lita's return was interesting (especielly when she teased a real new run) and the main event with Rollins and Reigns was cool, but it was a forgettable and average episode."

[6.0] "The show is good for the main event segment in Reigns/Rollins and maybe for a relunch of the tag team division. The rest is not good."

[3.0] "Very bad, boring and predictable, an empty product that people settle for two segments in two hours of show."

[8.0] "It was a pretty good show! The matches weren't the best of all time, but entertaining and good. The segments with Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Charlotte Flair or Lita were good too. The best match of the show, for me, was Sheamus vs. Ricochet. Aliyah vs. Natalya was surprisingly with 3 seconds. The Fatal 4-Way Tag Team Match wasn't bad and Kingston vs. Moss was okay."

[6.0] "Nothing special this episode. Nice segment between Lita and Charlotte. A lot of people say "we need legends because they don't build anyone up". They are right though, not entirely. A legend is an attraction so you sell more tickets. It should balance things out. Anyway, nice segment between Seth and Roman as well but I expected more but there's still two weeks to go. Good viking as contenders, Aliyah vs Natalya I don't care, Ricochet vs Sheamus best match of the night. Always bad job by Moss and Corbin, they have a disgusting gimmick and the audience doesn't like anything they do."

[7.0] "Not much worth of note in match quality but the being segment and other segments on this show made it a pretty good episode of smackdown in my opinion."

[6.0] "Not terrible by any means, though as usual there were some issues. The opening Uso promo and subsequent number 1 contenders match were both fine. Raiders finally get a shot at the belts, though them losing to Corbin and Madcrap the week prior shows how on the fly Vince books now. Sami Zayn segment was fine though a bit drawn out. Boogs got a haircut which is unfortunate. Aliyah and Nattie literally got 3 seconds. It puts Aliyah over I guess but wasn't Nattie feuding with Xia Li' Speaking of Li, she is the only active member on the SmackDown roster not in the Rumble, which doesn't bode well. Sheamus and Ricochet had a fun match. Lita/Charlotte segment was fine. Charlotte's selling of the Twist of Fate was hilarious. Then, Kofi Kingston, former WWE Champion, lost to MADCAP MOSS in 5 minutes. Absolutely awful. He's plenty fine as Corbin's friend who can eat pinfalls for him. Giving a comedy heel a serious push could be a disaster. Main event face to face was decent. Overall a fine show considering most of the top stars are out injured."
