[6.0] "Stratton is the future of the women's roster, and the opener proved it. Despite being out of action for a brief period, she didn't possess any ring rust whereas her opponent, Indi is still a hard-working improver who's eyeing for a major breakthrough. Chase U was stopped by McDonagh in an uninteresting face-off that led to a decent bout b/w him & Chase. I could see that the scale of McDonagh in NXT has met a steep decline compared to his honeymoon phase. Henley & James worked some strategy as the fresh duo and the "repelling minds" storyline arc works well in teams if looked back at history. Crews took a detour to stay in Hayes' mind after what he did by visiting the café. The challenge for Vengeance Day is set and it sounds like a true test of the future of the brand. Creeds/Gulak & Walker is the show stealer in terms of qualitative action as Gulak felt like a threat since his return even though the story of him & Dempsey was the key factor. Elektra still manipulates Feroz, and it worked in the spar against Wendy while Bron got smacked onto the barricade after a furious altercation w/Waller. Ruca stepped up for Alba but got decimated by Chance & Carter in the tag titles contest which paves the way for an unlikely pairing in Alba & Isla. The summit worked very well for Toxic Attraction's plans of belief & backstab as they outsmarted Roxanne ahead of the PPV. This show focused more on building up Vengeance Day as a solid event and the women had a lot of work to do than the men. Even though the quality is a hard pass, the efforts are appreciable, and I hope the returns of it could be a great range of action in future weekly instalments. 6.5 out of 10 points!"

[2.0] "This about what I've come to expect from NXT these days. These maybe one good match a week if were lucky, most of the non match segments are just dumb as hell. It is by a far the worst of the wrestling shows on network TV each and every week."

[6.0] "Solid episode of NXT, with all the matches being good but not great, most of the segments working well, and plenty of build to Vengeance Day. A good watch but nothing really to go back to."

[7.0] "A female focused episode of NXT, with four women's matches and the main event segment. Almost like they tried compensating for RAW is XXX. A good amount of build for Vengeance Day with Bron Breakker and Grayson Waller going at it, and Toxic Attraction blindsiding Roxanne Perez. No match to go out of your way to see though."

[8.0] "Overall a pretty good show: solid matches, nice storyline continuations and all. Good booking for Breakker too."

[7.0] "Most I had enjoyed an NXT episode this year so far at least. The build to Vengeance Day is the main focus and everything that was involved with that was handled pretty well although I would have tried to keep tension between Gigi and Jacy active longer. A few enjoyable matches in Indi/Tiffany, Creeds/Drew and Hank, and Katana & Kayden/Alba & Sol. Nice to see the womens division get more of a showcase as they were in 4 of the 6 matches on the show."

[5.0] "It was a decent episode. Best match this week was Indi Hartwell vs. Tiffany Stratton. Curious to see how big Stratton's push becomes. Indi has botchy moments here and there but she's still underrated. Otherwise the rest of the show was solid."

[10.0] "The episode was amazing, and I had fun watching it. Bron and Waller had a good segment, and Jacy and Gigi did a good job faking that they hate each other. I liked every match on the card. The episode made me excited for Vengence Day"
