[5.0] "Average episode. The opener and the 6-man tag team match were solid. The other stuff was pretty boring."

[6.0] "The Tag Titles match and the Imperium vs New Day and Ricochet were the best thing about a mid show. LA Knight's promo was the weakest I remember of him, and not because of him, but the storyline of Bray Wyatt is already derailing at this point. The Tag Team triple rivalry looks like they can have a promising match, but no team seems to be a future contender for the titles, which sadly makes it irrelevant. And Kurt Angle's segment is the definition of pure lazyness and nostalgia. He barely says a word, Alpha Academy interrupts, they bring out Gable Steveson for him to be out for like six months again just because he won the Gold Medal and they recreate the Milk-o-Mania segment. Basically, a lazy show with two pretty good matches on it that saves it from absolute boredom."

[7.0] "The Usos defended the tag titles in a rock-hard opener against Sheamus/Dunne. This is the final residue of the WarGames enmity & I think there'll be something different in the next move for The Bloodline. Knight called out Wyatt which ended up being another layer of bizarre surrounding & I'm more than ready for their eventual matchup. Legado & Raiders advanced their issues involving Hit Row as well. Their blow-off is set for next week which is good because of having a non-title focus on tag teams which brings a significance to their talent. Ricochet & WALTER signed the deal for the title clash followed by a strong trios match between Imperium & Ricochet w/The New Day. They didn't have any reason to contest a lengthy bout, but they did it effectively. Kross confronts Mysterio in a short & intriguing face-off that brought some of the rawness of the former while the main event added little to the build for Rousey/Raquel as well as cementing Nox alongside Morgan as the new dynamic duo. Kurt Angle's birthday celebration was a harmless entertainer throughout the night ending with a classic callback to Milk-O-Mania as well as Angle's time with Jason Jordan. This show set a concrete baseline for next week as well as Royal Rumble in a faint way just like how Raw had few days ago. I'm curious to see how the upcoming weeklies are going to be as they look stacked. 7.5 out of 10 points!"

[6.0] "The two lengthy tag team matches on the show were good, but outside of that nothing noteworthy happened. Kurt Angle stuff on this show was cool, having him end the show with one of his most iconic moments was sweet. The LA Knight Bray feud needs to pick up soon and feels like they've been in a holding pattern forever. The LDF/HR/VR feud feels straight out of 97/98 WWF and not in a good way.The backstage segment with the bloodline and them telling him to get a haircut for next week was interesting. Solid show this week."

[7.0] "It was a very bittersweet show. So much that I don't understand how they have been able to lengthen so much two bouts, that a little more and they last 20 minutes each. Legado Del Fantasma was absolute shit (with all the words), what's the point of putting Hit Row there? You have to do interesting things because Viking Raiders is running out of their moment of glory after returning to SmackDown (for the second time, I think) and finally, the Main Event because what to say about it. Nothing to contribute, it's a filler wrestling to increase more to Ronda and Shayna even if they won Liv and Tegan (which I like that). I don't know why I think WWE wants Shayna to betray Ronda to take her title from her."

[6.0] "Pretty average episode here, the two proper matches were decent and were a good length, but several of the segments didn't do much, and the whole Viking Raiders/Legado/Hit Row thing was a mess."

[8.0] "Two really good matches, a Nice segment for Ricochet and GUNTHER, A Nice promo with LA Knight, and feel good closing segment, the rest was fine"

[3.0] "the problem with wwe tv i think is almost any match that might be decent or goes long has some overbooked finish where they are scared to have anyone lose without an out. sometimes people should just win matches because they are better. other than that the Angle segment to end was cheesy and a boring wwe-ish rehash (they love to rehash classic moments) of an actual good moment.The 2 minute Uso/Zayn backstage segment was the only good thing on the show."

[7.0] "A good SmackDown with Usos/Brawling Brutes and the six man tag carrying the weight. Some fun stuff to celebrate Kurt Angle in his home city, and probably wise using this to introduce fellow amateur wrestler Gable Steveson, nice touch bringing back Jason Jordan too. It took being fired and being brought back for Tegan Nox to finally get her tag title match, which she gets next week alongside Liv Morgan. Just a shame the audience are still warming to her."

"Decent show. Fun 6-Man tag matches, that made sense going out of the contract signing. Zelina Vega always looks like a million bucks. Kinda ready for Bray Wyatt to get on with it, it's been months at this point. Ronda and Shayna are not special at all anymore, super cringe. That downfall should be studied."
