[3.0] "Another horrible smackdown, backed by another horrible crowd. Speaking of the crowds, they're nearing 2019 levels of bad for smackdown. Matches were mostly fine, but again, crowds dragged them down. Don't care for the promos outside of Bianca/Naomi which was very good"

"1) The biggest tragedy of the last few SmackDowns is the fact that Tommaso Ciampa stopped growing his beard back. 2) I'm not a fan of Damian Priest, but it was a good promo. The company really believes in him if they gave him TV time just to stand there in the center of the ring and cut a generic promo. I could easily see it being a pre-taped promo or a vignette. 3) Finally a match on SmackDown worth watching: the Triple Threat between Fatu, Carmello, and Andrade. 4) Damn, low-key, that LA Knight's backstage little promo was fire - not because of what was said (I don't remember a single word), but how flawlessly it was delivered. 5) Logan Paul got even more jacked (again). Tell whatever you want, but when a man puts on muscle, he has no choice but to exude extra rizz and his aura gets stronger proportionally to the amount of muscle he's put on. 6) Poor Cody was sweating his balls off in that three-piece suit. Damn, summers must be tough for him."

[5.0] "Show had its moments with a good promo from Priest, but the main event segment fell flat and Cena's heel run is already getting stale. Started decent, picked up some steam, but ended on a real low note."

[5.0] "This was a very mediocre episode of Friday Night SmackDown. I enjoyed the Bianca Belair segment, as there is so much that can be explored with a feud with Jade Cargill and Naomi, so I think in the future, those feuds will be underway. But there were two good matches on the show tonight, the Tag Team Match and the Men's Qualifier Triple Threat Match. This show lacks a lot, and it shows every week the glaring holes that need to be filled. They need to have a WWE Draft soon because they need to revamp SmackDown as a whole."

[4.0] "Okay, there was two good matches, and that's it. The rest was from really bad to uninteresting. I'm honestly tired of seeing the same booking over and over again, with uninspired development, empty promos and else. It looks the show is booked by an AI, in the simpliest way possible. Just another souless Smackdown among others."

"Andrade VS Melo VS Fatu was a great match. Smackdown gets nice matches ngl I really enjoyed Los Garza VS Young OG & Fenix as well. Young OG needs a NXT Title run tho. The ending was cool as well. But Women's roster still is too poor. They need Giulia to perform more often."

"It's another OK episode, solid MITB qualifying matches, the funny stuff with Chelsea Green, and the end part to pump it up the tag match. The tag scene is great but it feels like going on repeats, entering the wyatt sicks; and I thought the Bianca/Jade/ Naomi story was behind."

[6.0] "An average smackdown. The first part of Bianca's promo was meh, but Naomi's arrival gave the promo some interest. We're hoping for a Naomi/Belair rivalry which could be interesting. The first match disappointed me enormously. It was too slow, too long, despite a better second half. Naomi's victory was very cool. The second match is a joke even though I'm starting to like Jeff Cobb. The MCMG/Profits/DIY/Fraxiom segment was nice with the Wyatt6 coming in to slaughter everyone. I think the Wyatt6 are a bit of a blot on this wonderful tag team division. The Wyatt6 on RAW would have been more interesting to get the RAW tag div back on track. The Garza/Reyvans was excellent. I knew Evans by name, but he convinced me. 21 years old and he's got mad talent. I respect him. Rey Fenix is at the top of his game and Garza is still excellent. I really liked Garza winning. Now Vega/Fyre. Compared to the women's triple threat where the pace picks up a bit in the second half, this match has no pace. It's slow despite the fact that this match is better than SNME but once again this match shows that Zelina Vega isn't cut out to be Champion and as for Alba Fyre, her outfit doesn't help her to show the talent she has inside her. Giulia's video clip is very cool and I hope she gets the US title because I don't want any more Vega. Finally Damian Priest cuts some promos in the ring. Very good promo from Priest, who wants the US title. It's good to have big names for a minor title. The ME is very good, Fatu, Hayes and Andrade once again demonstrate their talent, but I was a little disappointed. The match was too long, there were a few slow moments and I had mixed feelings about the ending. I was happy to see Fatu lose the match to Sikoa, which shows that this rivalry is well written, but to have Andrade, who I really like, win, I find a bit strange. Carmelo Hayes is doing things at the moment that Andrade isn't doing. The final segment just sucks. First time I've been disappointed with a Cena promo since his turn. Over 20 minutes of segment for this. You just can't get into it. I hope Cena's heel run is better after MITB because ever since the R truth intervention in the Orton/Cena, it's been boring in that heel run (which is supposed to be the greatest in history)."

[5.0] "Surprised to see so anyone rate this show above a six to be honest. 90% of this show was pretty tedious. The main event was the four opponents in the tag team debacle extravaganza and I feel sorry for Cody having to carry this mess. He is truly going to have his work cut out for him. The promo was not good. The only person less convinced of Cena's current heel credentials than me, appears to be John himself. Such a shame. They could have MADE a new heel from Cena's final run and they settled for ruining that run and making nobody."

[7.0] "Continues to set things up nicely for MITB and Worlds Collide. It was a treat to see Je'Von and Ethan on a main roster show. The wrestling was hit or miss. The final segmenet worked - pairing Cena and Logan has some promise, even if just for the short term."

[8.0] "Tonight was excellent for results going the winners way, all winners made complete sense and the matches were top draw"

[4.0] "The segment on the end of the show wasn't really good. John Cena's heel run became boring really quick. I expected more of this. Smackdown had 2 solid matches and some okay-ish backstage segments but nothing more interesting to offer."

[6.0] "Was this really one of the 36 dates that John Cena had planned? My god... Anyway, there were 3 good matches on this show, that started with a good Bianca and Naomi promo. The first match was "meh", but then the pace picked up, and the backstage segments were also enjoyable. Damian Priest delivered a good promo as well. The main event match glued me to the screen which is awesome. I do not want to talk about the segment between John, Logan, Yeet man and Dusty's kid, rather not."
