[7.0] "A show that saved its best for the home stretch, ending with three very good matches. The Alexander-Kazarian main event was not only very good action but also a good example of making a face-vs.-face dynamic, with major stakes for both competitors, work. The Women's Title match was also very strong; a bit choppy in places as is common to last man/woman standing bouts, but given plenty of time to breathe and featured some pretty hardcore spots. The X-Division Title match between Miguel and Taurus was also good and a bit surprising with Miguel seemingly turning by cheating at the end; Taurus is also quickly becoming a favorite of mine to watch for the quality of his work. While not as strong, the earlier part of the card was fine, with notably a pretty solid tables match between Bully and Moose that didn't overstay its welcome as a good way to kick off the show, and a pretty solid Tag Title match. The other two women's matches were unremarkable (except that some interest was generated by the "Mickie's career on the line" stip), but nothing offensive."

[7.0] "The beginning of the show was bad and in general the first four matches in general seemed to have fallen from the moon and did not try to please. The whole Bully Ray push is annoying and even at the end of the show he didn't look confident and obviously I'm not interested in it. As a result, the last three matches saved the overall situation, the X-Division drags its sports component and you can count on them. Grace/Slamovich are the main women in my heart, I haven't looked at women's fights with such interest for a long time. "Walking Weapon" is increasingly strengthening its legacy and this makes me very happy. Once again, Impact focuses on the right things, but still far from ideal."

[9.0] "Another Great Show for Impact Wrestling in 2022! The last 3 matches were all incredible matches! The X-Division Title match was as great as people expected it to be, with Trey's surprising heel turn, leading to him getting the title for a 2nd time, definitely interested to see how he does as the top heel in the X-Division. The Last Knockout Standing Match was the 3rd incredible match that Jordynne & Masha have had against each other this year. I especially loved the leg work by Jordynne, as well as Masha's excellent selling of it...the fact that it played a role in the finish, was just icing on the cake! The main event was probably MOTN! Not only did Josh Alexander continue to prove why he's one of the best wrestlers on the planet, but Frankie Kazarian proved that he can still perform at a high level! The aftermath, with Alexander & Bully Ray, was also fantastic, & proved that Bully can still play as despicable of a heel, as ever! Every other match also ranged from pretty good - good. I definitely recommend the show, especiallly the last 3 matches!"

[6.0] "Impact have had about three or so PPVs this year which I thought were just okay, and this was one of them. That's unfortunate timing with news of viewership and attendance being up. That's not to say it was bad, though, it just felt like an extended episode of Impact's weekly show. The main event was quite good but I did feel that maybe it was a little overstretched. I suspect there was some ad-libbing during the final angle but I did think it was pretty good."

[10.0] "Top to bottom, a fantastic show. Another Impact show with not one match worse than "Pretty good" with the two main events both being "excellent". Never felt like any two matches were the same and that's not as common as it should be in major companies."

[8.0] "The opener was decent enough to put Bully in a solid way despite a talented wrestler in Moose being stuck in this. The follow-up tag match was solid as well where the result was different from what I expected. Tasha & Evans had all the momentum heading to the event, but Death Dollz prevailed still as the champs. Mickie continued her "Last Rodeo" streak in a pretty good physical bout against Wilde which had an interesting post-match development. Deonna made a statement challenging the winner as part of the Last Rodeo run. The tag titles were defended in a methodical clash b/w Heath & Rhino and Major Players with a finish that protected the latter team from a clean finish thanks to MCMG's tiny involvement. The X-Division title was crowned in a stellar sprint as expected b/w Taurus & Miguel that had an unexpected yet needed change of character by Miguel leading to an intriguing run to watch out. Grace & Masha renewed their animosity in a blazing Last Knockout Standing fight for the knockouts title where the result was similar to the knockouts tag titles match - different from anticipated. But it's understandable as Grace is getting the huge groove as the champion and she needs some strong defences like here to strengthen her reign. The same goes with Josh Alexander after a sensational contest he had against Kazarian in the main event. It was methodical, well layered with physicality and emotions and ended on a really positive note. Kazarian has finally shed some of his "undermined" image off with this match while Alexander found another chance to add more power to his incredible run as the world champion. The final segment cemented Bully in the perfect role finally and set the tone for the next PPV's main event. This show, in overall, is another solid entry to Impact's consistency in monthly specials & PPVs where the pacing was a classic layering of decent starters to exhilarating final pieces. The storytelling was kept minimal & noteworthy where Deonna, Miguel & Bully showed deep characters irrespective of the Bully Ray agenda not appealing in 2022."

[7.0] "Not the best Impact special but not a bad one. The last 3 matches all elevated the show a lot after a not so hot earlier half of the show. Crowd was pretty quiet for a good portion of it which I don? t entirely blame with what they got in the ring. Miguel/Taurus had a good match although I wasn? t crazy about the ending. Jordynne/Masha had another strong match together. I? m not sure where Masha goes from here exactly but at least she didn? t take another pinfall loss. Alexander/Kazarian was my MOTN. Another great defense for Josh and another great match for the underrated Kazarian who has had some very top career performance matches in Impact between Sabin, Bailey, and now Alexander. Impact has gotten a lot out of him while AEW continues to underutilize him. It is worth repeating that Jordynne and Josh are the best talent to be representing Impact at the moment in their respective divisions. Both are so good and on great runs right now. I? m not a fan of Bully Ray being a focus for the company even if he is coming in to put Josh (and hopefully Moose and Maclin) over. The post main event angle was well done at the very least. Solid special overall."

[6.0] "I really thought this was a good show, but opening with a poor Bully Ray match and closing with a poor and overly long Bully Ray angle was so bad. No one wants this in 2022. The main event is an absolute classic to go along with the others Josh has had this year (and Frankie is an absolute great), but a lot of that good feeling was erased with this Bully stuff. It's not heat if I'm just not going to buy the PPV if Bully is the focus. The rest of the show is good though, particularly the top three matches."

[8.0] "The tradition of the good special events of Impact is still strong here. Solid show from start to finish with a hell of a main event and one of the toughest angle in the end with Bully Ray: this is a proper way to build interest in something. Good matches as I said and good ends/continuations for the rest."
