[7.0] "Really cool stipulation match between the New Day and the Bludgeon Brothers right here to end this fairly qualitative episode of SmackDown that followed the average SummerSlam PPV, what these four gave us here was relatively superior to their SummerSlam bout and they took advantage of the stipulation to give us the match we would have loved to see at the PPV as it was super cool to watch. Nothing amazing but I was perfectly happy with what I saw here, an interesting heel-work from Harper & Rowan combined with some very enjoyable returns from Kingston & Woods who still have the crowd in the palm of their hand which led to some cool spots like the Crucifix Bomb on Kofi through the ladder or of course that fantastic ending with that superb Elbow Drop from Woods through the table to give the titles to The New Day. Easily the best match of the Bludgeon Brothers' 2018 run."
[4.0] "After their excellent qualifying match against The Bar on SmackDown some time ago, it's hard for this not to come off like an inferior sequel. Much of the blame lies with the stipulation. No DQ can elevate a match if done properly, but here it feels like the wrestlers have to wrestle around the stipulation rather than let it integrate itself naturally into the proceedings. You get the predicted pops when the props come out, yes, but far too much time spent milling around outside the ring whilst the athletes set up the pieces and the momentum of the match comes to a stop. A satisfying ending and some legitimately great looking bumps elevate it somewhat, but on the whole it didn't have the right stuff."
[7.0] "Wirklich an allen Ecken und Kanten gut ausgeführtes TV Match. Harper & Rowan können dominieren und tun das auch. Die Offensive ist nicht immer beeindruckend, aber durchaus heftig und wird vom New Day toll verkauft. Kingston & Woods arbeiten solide von unten und wenn das Match ins "second gear" tritt sind es 4-5 Minuten Voll Karacho mit Leitern, Stühlen und dem letztendlichen Trouble in Paradise - Table Elbow Finishing Spot (***½)."
[6.0] "Harper & Rowan dominate this match and somehow come out on the bottom. This was a normal TV match where the Bludgeon Brothers should have retained."
[8.0] "The best match of Harper and Rowan? s dissapointing tag title reign (even though they have proven in the past that they can put on classics against the right opponents). The no disqualification stipulation added to the match, which had many fun moments. The resilient New Day managed to overcome the giants at the end of the match."
[7.0] "It is a pretty weekly match, the best match of the Bludgeon Brothers' stint. The BB has a big status, but the New Day's win comes to a very credible babyface way with the good team that overcomes all the odds. There are also very impact spots that have an intelligent role in these types of match. ***3/4"
