[7.0] "A very good show where I was traditionally pleased with behind-the-scenes segments and matches, and everything. Even Heath in the ring was nothing like that. Killer Kelly is a powerful woman, I want to see her against Masha in the ring. Black Taurus is the perfect contender for the X-Division title. The men's challenger match for the World Trophy now intrigues me when I see the winner. As a result, it was entertaining and not boring at all. Unambiguous like."
[8.0] "The opening match was another classic X-Division feast between four optimistic athletes displaying a great dash of fast-paced action with a surprising winner in Taurus. Heath hit the first strong nail in the coffin of the path of revenge towards HNM through a decent sprint while Kelly & Evans had a solid power fight where Kelly was crafty and violent enough to silence the giant of Tasha. Bailey's path of greatness continues as he defended the X-Division Title successfully against Bey in an astonishing sprint that had nil flaws but the littlest of time. Had it been a bit even longer, I would've sincerely satisfied as both men were killing it in the ring for such short period. The main event had a frantic start, moved nicely with a very good progress of the Callihan/Moose/Maclin story and ended with a phenomenal final three between Bandido, Swann & Edwards. All three men hit a homerun with engaging speed of offense having the fans on their seat edges. Edwards winning gave a nice concrete base for a good story between him & Alexander that either makes HNM as a violent group of slayers or breaks to shambles. This episode of Impact was a rock solid fallout from Emergence as the match quality didn't fall down as well as the upside in story progression towards next week & a kickstart of tracks to Bound For Glory. 7.5 out of 10 points!"
[8.0] "Impact usually shows out in Cicero Stadium, and this ep was no exception. Eddie being named number one contender is the right move. Josh has all of Honor No More to get through, and heel Eddie will use his hardcore-face edge to get the win by any means necessary. Throw in a wild lucha match, can't-miss Mike Bailey, and Killer Kelly showing her crazy side, and you've got another winner of an episode."
