[5.0] "JD McDonagh cheers me up, a cool speaker on the microphone, a strong villain, and God is also in the ring, I hope he will stop Bron. Axiom is a strange image for A-Kid, but if it brings him success, then I'm all for it, though it's probably not worth hiding such a charismatic face. Pretty Deadly are too good to lose like that :( . Gacy/dyad now it's much clearer who is in this grouping and I hope this is progress for GYV, not regression. Cora Jade threw out the team title and I hope it stays there, maybe the team title of the main brand is in this trash, has no one checked? Personally, for me, a good episode from which I no longer want to hide, they really tried harder here."

[7.0] "A good episode this week, NXT openers are usually MOTN and this was no different. The promo work on this show was good espeically with Grimes? meltdown and i was surprised by Julius Creed. Dyad being revealed as GYV surprised me and i enjoyed the little promos from the battle royal participants. Axioms entrance hurt my eyes lol but i liked the gimmick, needs a better finish though."

[6.0] "Pretty Deadly continue to be the best thing in NXT, and McDonagh and Axiom continue the takeover by NXT UK nicely. Overall a good episode, all the matches were decent and with the exception of the dumb Cora Jade turn the stortylines continued nicely."

[7.0] "The opener was a great dose of action between two talented wrestlers with McDonagh becoming the new hunter for Bron which is the logical & right move. Cora had a fine promo channeling her inner Alundra Blayze and keeping the weight on trash. Kemp found some good time to showcase himself against Strong while D'Angelo made his next step targeting Diamond Mine. Briggs & Jensen had a cool first defense against Pretty Deadly that gave a fun time. Bron & McDonagh had a short but intense face-off that increased the rivalry's pressure. Axiom had a cool repackaged debut here while Stark was the woman behind the QR codes making her return & winning the battle royal. She brings freshness as usual in the women's picture now and I'm interested in it. This episode showed the brand's slow recovery from horrifying decisions and made its stance solid. If this is maintained, we're in for a really good comeback for NXT's summer."

[8.0] "I found this episode very very good. Nice matches, good storylines continuations and all, for me is very good."

[4.0] "Like last week, this episode peaked early, although, this week's peak was higher and the episode didn't quite descend into the complete shitshow that last week did. The opening match was great, best NXT match in months. The other matches were either around average or just bad. Giving Cora Jade a mic and letting her talk for what seemed like an hour was a mistake, she cut an abysmal, wooden, rambling promo that ended with her burying the women's tag team titles by throwing her belt in a trash can that just happened to be at ringside. Aichner wanted to know who was going to "move the bus", I would guess it would be the driver that was clearly sitting behind the wheel. There was lots of bad acting from Diamond Mine, especially Ivy Nile. The Gacy/dyad/schism crap absolutely sucks, GYV now have silly new names and look ridiculous, Rip Fowler & Jagger something or other, good grief. There was a typical Breakker segment where he came to the ring and droned on with his usual schtick, but thankfully was cut off by Jordan Devlin, who's promo, especially his impression of Breakker was fantastic, I'm begging them to put the title on him. Devlin's work tonight was proof, if it was needed, that he is legit, he was by far the MVP of this episode."

[7.0] "A good episode this week with the focus on in-ring action, highlighted by Zoey Stark's return from injury to get the next shot at Mandy Rose for the NXT Women's Championship. JD McDonagh strengthened his case to challenge Bron Breakker, Axiom made a solid debut under the gimmick and mask, and more feuds were advanced. Shame the GYV were given silly names (and silly contact lenses), though I'm fine with the Liverpool supporting Zack Gibson getting the last name Fowler. Very good promo by Cora Jade to advance the Roxanne Perez feud."
