[6.0] "Both the matches here were pretty good, but compared to the standards of previous countdown shows of Impact, this was a downgrade. Nonetheless, the efforts were appreciable to hype the Windsor audience for the rest of the night. 3 out of 5 stars!"

[3.0] "They would have taken better advantage of this pre-show or in any case not to, I didn't feel a performance worthy of a pre-show of a PPV, and if it was in full PPV it would be worse."

[5.0] "AEW's new style of pre-show's blow this away. This is bare bones minimum for hyping up a PPV and having a few matches as well. The first match was paint-by-numbers cookie-cutter. But the 2nd match was better, making this worth a look."

[6.0] "Satisfactory pre-show without many other things to say. Two good matches, hype for the main card and that's it."

[5.0] "It was a pretty pre-show. nothing bad, but the first match lacked any heat, while the second match was in a good pace, having KiLynn King losing after winning the tag titles is questionable."

[6.0] "Two short matches to warm up ground and commentary team try and sell you on the special event. It was fine."

[6.0] "Good show. Good matches to help warm up the crowd for the PPV. Good segments to explain some of the stuff that has happened since the Impact Tapings from after No Surrender."
