[6.0] "A show that except for the opening fight which is very good everything else is quite short and without much to contribute, we were all waiting for the Main Event and although it was not a very good fight was somewhat surprising to see Dominik as North American Champion."

"The obsession WWE has with their stars getting heat is bizarre. They're willing to sacrifice just about whatever in order to get heat. In case of Dom, it's to the point where they are sacrificing a great title reign of an up and coming star that could be a fixture for years for them. It's an embarrassment to those that are working their asses off to try to improve and earn their spot and then he have this absolutely no talent nepo baby just coming in. It's pathetic and doesn't make for good wrestling."

[9.0] "This was a very good episode of NXT with the opening tag bout being good and Dominik Mysterio finally capturing a singles championship in WWE. I feel like the overall rating of this show is being bombarded by trolls and haters because this was not a bad show by any stretch of the means. The only thing I didn't like was Oro Mensah beating Eddy Thorpe. The Tony D'Angelo and opening segments were really good. I am giving this a 9 because it was a solid episode of NXT."

[5.0] "The ratings make sense a little bit of a weaker show this weak with only one true good match which was the opener between los Lotharios and Frazer and Lee , nice athletic showcase some sloppy points but still a good match. Kiana vs Gigi was horrible even worst than their first match which was also very bad, the bag stuff completely destroyed a match that was going better than their first. Bronco and Lucien had a bad match , they looked really sloppy and green , and Axiom getting turned on by Scrypts made no sense other than Axiom saying that they're not a tag team. Thea vs Elektra was fine , Elektra was sloppy but Thea looked good. Thea vs Tiffany submission match should be fun but it might also be sloppy because Thea is sloppy whenever she does her kimura it doesn't look believable. Oro vs Eddy was another match that sounds good on paper but it ended up being underwhelming , Eddy and Mensah had some slow spots , some nice athleticism was fine. But the Dijak ending was bad along with the Noam Dar stuff. Meta-Four is a mid faction that needs more clean wins to make it believable. Dominik vs Wes was adequate giving Dom the belt after the reign that Wes had was questionable. Dom is going to get heat now which is good for him. The family and gallus segment was the best of this nxt. The worst match was Gigi vs Kiana."

[5.0] "Not a great show but not a terrible one. The opening tag ended up being the best match of the show by a good margin as many of the matches on this episode did not get a lot of time. There was some solid build toward The Great American Bash. The most notable aspect of the show is certainly the result of the main event which will be divisive. Wes already had the longest NXT NA title reign with the most defenses (and the best reign with the title overall in my opinion) so I didnt mind him losing so much but I do feel there may have been a better time and place for it. Some other weird booking choices as well. 5.5 leaned down."

[10.0] "Great show but the final match of Dominik Mysterio winning a singles title made this show perfect. NXT knows how to use stars from the main roster perfectly in order to elevate the show quality. Thank you Shawn Michaels!"

[0.0] "Sorry, the episode was not that bad, it had some interesting moments, good matches and promos, but after the main event, 0 is the only rating this could get. you can't ruin an entire show, title and reign by giving it to a non-wrestler, who can barely do 2 moves, has 0 storytelling, 0 mic skills, 0 charisma and gets hated because he has pure go away heat because of how terrible he is in literally everything"

[7.0] "Fun and helpful show for the build-up while we're close to next PLE. Ilja and Melo's segments give them some heat and loved to see them not get physical and hope the same for go home show. For the Women's side, getting into more and more everyday to Thea's a little tazmaniac character. Although I think Tiffany's showcasing was a little bit easy I certainly don't it's wrong and I believe she'll gain more credibility in the next couple of months after her very very early title win. Only thing I hated about this show was Bronco and Lucien's debut. They SHOULD NOT align them with comedy act and natural lower guy like scrypts."

[10.0] "Incredible show from NXT, great segments which pushed the storylines forward, solid matches the whole way through and an amazing main event with Dirty Dom getting singles gold! Give me Dominik Mysterio on NXT and Raw any week."

[4.0] "It was a bad show, good the first segment and the opener, after that 4 useless matches a very weak presentation for the new tag team. All other segments were awful, Tiffany that after conquering the female title continue to be ridiculed like that is unacceptable. The main event was barely sufficent, I did not hated the ending but I was hoping for a better end for Wes Lee great reign (Maybe Tyler Bate after turning heel). But as now i think that's the right thing to do is bringing Dominik in NXT, i don't will accept to see the NA Title defense on main roster."

[1.0] "Show opened with Hayes & Williams coming out for a promo but they were interrupted almost immediately by Dragunov. Dragunov brought some intensity, but Hayes didn't bring much of anything as they went back and forth on the mic. The opening tag match was chaotic and somewhat messy, but overall fine. Another Corbin vignette aired as I almost fell asleep. Kiana vs Gigi was bad again, they have no chemistry and Gigi should be taken off TV while she puts a lot of work into regaining her in-ring speed, because she's been painful to watch for some time now. The less said about the cringeworthy Thorpe/Meta-Four backstage confrontation the better. Axiom & Scrypts vs the debuting Price & Nima was a complete joke. Axiom is now not only a geek, but a moron as well, as after 2 poor minutes, Scrypts turned on Axiom again and Axiom got pinned, so that dire feud they wrapped up a couple of months ago is now reignited, total shit. As for the debutants, the one who wrestled the entire match could barely move, just another lumbering oaf, while his partner only came in for the last 10 seconds, but did seem much better, he could at least move across the ring. The D'Angelo homecoming tried and failed to make sense of the completely nonsensical conclusion to the prison storyline. Still, I'm glad to see D'Angelo back proper and hopefully he and Stacks take the tag belts off the infinitely boring Gallus. Backstage, Dragunov and Hayes brawled with Schism to set up a six man tag next week. Hail vs lopez was a one minute 'match' that was followed by an absolutely horrible post match promo from Hail. Stratton came out and granted Hail the rematch she was shrieking about, then Hail tapped her out again. Mensah vs Thorpe wasn't good, although it did include my highlight of the night, which was Dijak kicking Thorpe's head off then berating him in a 5 second cameo. There was a worthless Dana Brooke/Kelani Jordan gymnastics vignette, yes really. Cora Jade was watching the gymnastics vignette backstage and she was as baffled and unimpressed as me, she'll face Brooke next week. Two women who shouldn't be let near a mic, Perez and Davenport, took part in an atrocious talking segment to promote their match at Great American Bash, which is a waste of a spot on that card as, their last match was no good, the feud sucks and neither of them really have much to offer. The main event was a disgrace, just a bad match with a hideous outcome that capped off a diabolical episode of NXT. A fine at best opener, decent Dragunov mic work and a 5 second Dijak cameo were the best this episode had to offer. The rest of the matches and promos sucked, the vignettes were awful and the booking was a total calamity. Nope, didn't enjoy this episode at all."

"//2.25 out of 5// - This was particulary not a good showing this time around considering what is atypically or has been expected from Shawn Michaels, who has delivered 4 straight good weeks of wrestling, only for him to deliver an underwhelming card carried by corny promos. And in no way I mean in disrespect of the wrestlers involved and NXT, for me, is now the forefront of capturing both styles of campy goodness and solid in-ring work, sadly this was not Shawn's night as only one match here had a decent showing and a main event that was worthy of headlining news outlets. Sure that may lead to Dom being a great heel with a championship to boost, I mean, an audible gasp can be heard when he pinned Wes Lee, but I would have not minded where the trios feud of the former Champion, Ali and Bate was heading towards. Really do hope it leads to something along those lines with Dominick intertwined in between. And a great opener, as what is to expect from the men involved. This was a NXT that was half and half, that didn't deliver much in-ring wise nut causes some intrigue going forward, or at the very least, draw eyes to the product. But what infuriating here was the booking aspect of Axiom, who has no sudden urge of direction with the newly formed Tag Team AND LOSING? Everything else was at the very least tolerable if not decent."
