[9.0] "Good matches with plenty of storytelling. The Grayson Waller effect was my favorite part of the show. I love Apollo Crews and Grayson Waller both and this was a really nice segment with memorable moments."

[7.0] "Easy show to watch with the strongest NXT main event since Solo/Von Falls Count Anywhere. Nice build to Worlds Collide. Indi/Blair was a rather bad match but it led to a nice moment with Dexter. Bate/Von and Legado/GYV were both fine matches as well that could have been stronger with more time."

[9.0] "I thought it was an excellent NXT. The main event was surprisingly good. The announcement of NXT UK/NXT title unification, for both the men's and women's divisions. You had the announcement for a new PPV (World's Collide). You had the return of In-Dex (Dexter Lumis and Indi Hartwell). Also, the promo between Apollo Crews and budget Miz (Grayson Waller) was also great. Not sure why the ratings aren't super high, but I give it a 9. I'm liking the changes Triple H is bringing to the show week after week. This in my opinion was one of the better NXT's."

[7.0] "Breakker opened the show as expected calling out Bate & making their Worlds Collide clash official in a short & sweet exchange. The action kicked off bizarrely as Gallus took on Briggs & Jensen for the UK Tag Titles which almost became good but ended with an awkward finish. I'm still confused on the way it was executed making both teams look dumb. Grayson Waller had his talk show's debut with his guest's hand raised high as Apollo Crews felt more natural on the mic than before. Grimes had a sparring rebound developing his arc of weirdness with The Schism while Davenport arrived to the States in dominant mode defeating Indi with lightwork. The post-match face-off from Mandy & Meiko confirmed the Worlds Collide combining for the women and Indi found her prominence back with Dexter's surprise return! I jumped off my seat when this happened as one of the entertaining comical killers was reinstated as a part of Dexter's return arc and I feel that this will be somehow carried to the main roster. Legado had their last run with a solid sprint against The Dyad, leaving Tony D & finding their true leader in Escobar on the way to the big leagues. Welcome aboard, fellas! I'm looking forward to that highly talented team as well as Bate's run in the States after he silenced Wagner putting him in the right place - back to the curb for more tuning. The main event was a fun wreckage of weaponised wrestling done at its best between two characters of 2.0's vision that are highly over among the fans. They did their best and gave a great dose of entertainment. This was a step down episode but not in a negative way as the stories towards Worlds Collide are getting built steadily with concrete while some have found its end/new beginning."

[6.0] "The show in general is decent, although many fights left to duty, although the female fight, without a doubt, is the best that has been seen so far in NXT, but otherwise, quite irrelevant and boring, although in some things quite well."

[7.0] "An ok addition of NXT. Promos were good, Meiko Satomura showing up was great, i hope she wins at world collides. Dexters return and the closure for the InDex story was FANTASTIC."

[7.0] "Not a memorable episode of NXT but the booking is good in my humble opinion. Looking forward to more."

[5.0] "The strongest side of the show is the verbal confrontation of NXT & NXT UK. The announcements are really interesting and everything can turn out extremely interesting along the way. The rest of the show was mediocre, there was absolutely little wrestling. The promos segments were normal without something bright, and the promos-video looked interesting only when they had the stars of NXT UK or Santos Escobar on them."

[8.0] "I had fun with the episode all around. Tyler Bate carrying Wagner to a servicable match, the NXT UK invasion and the surprising silly main event all held it together. Feels like NXT 2.0 is starting to get some of the treatment the main roster is."

[5.0] "The improvements WWE have seen in the last month or so have yet to carry over to NXT 2.0, although it's clear they're making a lot of changes with the movement of a lot of the UK roster over prior to the NXT Europe launch. There's a lot of setup going on, but neither the stories nor the matches were particularly compelling here. Rounded up to 5 due to InDex."

[4.0] "Santos' cameo, the lights out match and LDF vs GYV were the only real highlights on what was an otherwise largely boring episode, I could have turned it on 1 hour 25 minutes in and wouldn't have missed anything worth while. Bate and Breakker opened the show with a promo to set up a title unification, Bate's strong point is not on the mic and of course he has the same horrible accent as me, Breakker meanwhile was Breakker, same old, same old. B&J vs Gallus was a nothing match with a non finish and dumb referee decision. The 'Waller effect' segment was so hideous I had to temporarily change the channel, he induces one of the worst cases of go away heat I've ever had for someone. Grimes vs Bernal happened. Davenport/Hartwell was the worst match on the show and Davenport's mic work in the post match was abysmal. The less said about the Hartwell/Lumis crap the better. There was another bad Cora Jade promo where she just woodenly rushed through her scripted lines. Oddly, there were a couple of segments with Jobber Bernal and a mumbling security guard as well as a random woman in the second one, they were badly acted and pointless. The first good thing on the show was LDF vs GYV, it was a great showing of LDF's class without them even moving through the gears, I was initially annoyed that LDF were jobbed out again but that changed when, to the much deserved biggest pop of the night, Santos rolled up in the parking lot to tell LDF that family stick together and they drove off into the sunset together, unfortunately I'm almost certain Smackdown will be their destination, but for now I'm holding on to the hope it will be Raw instead. There was also a Diamond Mine segment that went out of its way to bury Roddy, I didn't like it. The last minute of Bate/Wagner was good, but prior to that it was boring. The main event started good and got better as it went along, a very enjoyable match. If I watched the last 40 minutes in isolation, I'd say this was a great episode, but what came before was very poor and really dragged the show down."

[7.0] "A fine setup show for Worlds Collide with two unification matches booked in Breakker/Bate and the three way with Rose, Satomura and Davenport. The matches were fairly average until the Choo/Stratton Lights Out main event, with their great work let down by NXT's lighting system being gimmicked up."
