[6.0] "Quite an entertaining match to keep the three participants together and then steer them clearly towards a Triple Threat Match at Wrestlemania. They do this with a classic narrative around emotions and bumps from guest referee Belair, which also gets Ripley up the tree nicely after the match ends. Pretty solid stuff."
[1.0] "This match was not good at all, I expected more from both women but they were some spots that weren't fluid and I expected the spot in a Iyo sky and Rhea Ripley match to be fluid, this is one of their worst matches together and let me not even talk about how Rhea Ripley was botching some moves where she is shown that she is suffering from ring rust, thank God she got over that at WrestleMania and put in a banger and she should not have even gotten another title shot in the first place can't she have a character without the title. She should build her character up and also Wrestle more I would be interested to see a Rhea Ripley match that doesn't involve a title and with also good character work in the future. Once again I think she is talented and she can pull this off"
[1.0] "0/10 This match was not good at all, I expected better from this match, Iyo sky really tried her best to make this match very good but it did not work out because Rhea Ripley was rusty as hell and also needs to wrestle more shit match way too many botchs"
[6.0] "This match wasn't as good as their first match honestly... But it was the FIGHT OF THE NIGHT because there was nothing in this show... There were several botches from IYO SKY but other than that it was acceptable."
[7.0] "Good match. I was definitely expecting more from these two but still they gave us pretty enjoyable bout. Bianca as a ref was okay, she was doing her job very well and i'm surprised it took her so long to DQ both of them. Overall it was obvious that Belair will "cost" them the match but still i enjoyed it for what it was. Wrestling part was also fine, they had really great moments here when the crowd was popping, also we saw few botches but it's natural, they aren't robots. I like their previous encounters better but this one is still solid. ***, 25"
[4.0] "Yeah this was not good at all. Bad finish to match a horribly booked storyline so far, and with a few botches strewn in too. You would expect better considering the wrestlers in it, but they already started off at a disadvantage knowing they had to make sense of everything."
[6.0] "Unsurprisingly overcomplicated, this is a pretty odd TV main event. At its best, these two produce the quality that you'd expect from such a blockbuster pairing, combining for some enthralling exchanges. Unfortunately, those bursts arrive in a slightly clunky fashion, with the match mostly lacking a consistent flow and rhythm. Attach a ridiculous TV finish and you have a pretty weak outing for this calibre of talent, but it's still good on those lofty peaks alone. ***"
[10.0] "Other than a little sloppy start to the match and a botch poisonrana, this was a Good match. The Crowd was big into the match and the Near Falls. Bianca was very good in this match bumping her ass off for both Rhea and Iyo to set this triple threat match up. I had a very good time with this Good match. ***.75"
[9.0] "I thought this was a very Fun Tv Match it was probably their weakest series of Matches but, still Good some Nice Little Spots Crowd, was into the near Falls toward the End, Duel chants for both ladies. Crowd seem like they lean towards Iyo side more which was nice was just a Very Fun match imo. ***.5"
[2.0] "These matches between Rhea and Iyo have been mediocre at best, for a match everyone was complaining should've been a Wrestlemania main event these have severely underperformed and are barley good enough for a Monday night Raw main event whoever rates either of these higher than 3 stars needs a reality check"
[5.0] "Despite having great moments here and there, Iyo and Rhea have failed to capture the same chemistry they had a couple years ago. Adding Bianca Belair to the mix as special guest referee only serves to add to the legitimacy of adding Rhea to the inevitable triple threat at wrestlemania bit others very little in regards to this match. Very lacking in the referee shenanigans and the obvious disqualification ending felt very rushed and forced. I'm sure the mania match will be good but they've booked themselves into a pretty convoluted build that is removing a lot of interest for me"
[5.0] "IDK, it's not the fault of either of the two who are great performers and do some great stuff but this match didn't really go anywhere, and it felt like Iyo got taken out and bodied before she got her chance to shine, leaving for a disappointing climax and a poor finish. If it were anyone else it'd be inadequate, but they get some really cool stuff in with the time they have, it's just booked in a lackluster way."
[8.0] "I love both IYO and Rhea. And I do think I prefer this match over the first one because the cr/owd was so into it and they had some really cool moments. But I absolutely hated 8the way the ended the match. Rhea's superman booking is getting tired. Last match was an 8/10 match that was elevated to a 10/10 match because of the result. This match was a 9/10, but was downgraded to 8/10 because of the result."
[7.0] "bruh what is wrong with rhea ripley she kicked the ref in the face and then takes no accountability for her actions ... dafuq ... we'll see if she gets added to the WM but for her actions this night she does not deserve it ..."
[0.0] "This match was not good at all, I expected better from this match, Iyo sky really tried her best to make this match very good but it did not work out because Rhea Ripley was rusty as hell and also needs to wrestle more it was a sub par match from two of the best wrestlers we have in the division and this is because Triple H is not a good booker of the women's division"
[5.0] "I wasn't a fan of this match at all, and it was nowhere near as good as their last match. In ring it was okay with a few botches but that's not the main reason I am giving it a 5. It's because it made no sense to make Bianca Belair the referee, especially since this fight determines who will fight her at Mania, so why would they make the referee someone who doesn't know how to ref. The first ref bump Bianca took made no sense as well since she was down for so long and she's an actual wrestler. Then the ending was the worst part in my opinion as it ended in a double DQ which goes back to my earlier point of why even make Bianca the referee if they want a definitive winner."
[7.0] "An excellent match between the three women if you count Belair in it. At the end, we suspected that there would be no winner to go to the 3-way match at WrestleMania. This match is going to be very good given the talent of the three women."
[7.0] "Good match for the women's title. Rhea gets her rematch against IYO after weeks of forcing the issue. There was no chance of any title change here with Bianca as the special guest referee, everyone knew this was going to end with shenanigans. This wasn't as good as their previous encounter as both IYO and Rhea were off here with some sloppy spots early on, but they did clean things up toward the end. Very predictable finish with Bianca taking some bumps before calling for a double DQ. Rhea gets mad even though she blatantly attacked Bianca numerous times, beats up Bianca and IYO then poses with the belt. It was obvious before, but this confirmed it's going to be a triple threat at WrestleMania. 7/10"
[4.0] "Making Bianca the ref was stupid in the first place, we all knew it would end with some bs finish but they managed to do something even worse than expected. The actual in ring action wasn't particularely good there was a few noticeable botches in the match and the ref bump looked so phony. Iyo sky got pinned clean in the middle she definitely is the third wheel of this storyline and she's just here to be a transitional champ which is very sad"
[7.0] "Decent match with one fairly noticeable botch that got clipped to death. That being said, I largely enjoyed it. I didn't care for the finish at all UNLESS they are definitely going to pull the trigger on Belair's heel run. Man does she need it. Rhea and IYO as per usual were great. Two of the best in the world."
[7.0] "Despite the match itself not being the focus (the focus was the aftermath of the match), it was still really good (bar some few botches), and that shows how much good Rhea and IYO are and how good is their chemistry is, the aftermath confirmed we are getting the Triple Threat (thank god), and it also confirmed what I was thinking all the time: 1) Rhea is the heel. 2) Her Character Arc is because she's acting like a brat and should not be rewarded for it. 3) IYO is winning at WM, considering she is looking like an underdog. This will (and should) lead to IYO Pinning Rhea"
[9.0] "This was a very good main event. The match itself was spectacular. I knew there was going to be a wishy-washy finish as Bianca Belair called the match off with a Double DQ. But man, the chemistry Iyo Sky and Rhea Ripley have is amazing. Since NXT, they have always had great matches against each other. The only thing is Rhea Ripley has never beaten Iyo Sky she is winless against her. But to close out the show, we saw Rhea Ripley lay both women out with the title raised high to end the show. The build for this triple-threat match has been so good. It has been great to see this get the focus it has gotten."
[4.0] ""This match had the potential to be a show-stealer. However, the match ended with a ridiculously stupid finish. Even though I assumed this was exactly what they were going to do, it DID NOT make it better. You made me sit through this whole thing just to do the most predictable thing at the end. I understand why they did and whatever about the three way. It could be good. But you do not have to waste 30 minutes of time when you could have accomplished the exact same thing in five minutes.""
[5.0] "[5.0] Nowhere as good as their last match. And no it's not because they wanted a more drama focused match. The last one had plenty of drama and storytelling. This one didn't have that oomph. They were there, did the moves, had a predictable ending but I didn't enjoy this one as much as I did their last encounter. Rhea is still booked pretty strongly. Why not have her be a full blown babyface like Cody instead of this whiny hypocritical character. It's obvious crowd won't boo her and Triple H won't allow anyone to be booked stronger against Rhea. Iyo is being treated like a chump as a world champ. Rhea is treating her like she treated Liv when she was a world champ, as a nobody. It pisses me off so much."
[6.0] "These two have anti-chemistry or Rhea is still rusty as fuck. Clunky and sloppy work. Still think the triple threat will be great tho. The punches after the match were some of the best worked punches I've seen in years, needed to say that, punk and seths fake shitty punches made me wanna kms. anyway ***1/4"
[8.0] "The match may seem as a disappointment considering what Rhea and IYO matches have looked like beforehand, however I also think that the match served its purpose while being a more than serviceable TV main event. It seems that the direction for WrestleMania is a Triple Threat and it's kind of annoying that WWE is stalling the official announcement, but regardless, I think the build otherwise has been good. The obvious elephant in the room here was the Poisonrana botch, which was horrible, but otherwise they had a good TV match. ***3/4 (3.75)."
[8.0] "Iyo Sky vs Rhea Ripley ***3/4. loved how physical this match was from the opening bell. they lost me a bit towards the end tho with the multiple ref bumps. they could of done something more creative for Rhea to be added to the Bianca Iyo match at mania. nonetheless, this was still a very good match. please have Rhea wrestle more often on tv. I am tired of mentioning how awesome she is but since she barely wrestles on tv anymore, people forget that."
[5.0] "What are we smoking here? A few botches but they got on the right page then this turned into Bianca vs Rhea just like every other special referee match and some very poor selling from Bianca that was pretty laughable honestly. This wasn't near being enjoyable nevermind a good match."
[8.0] "Man Iyo is an incredible talent, her athleticism and selling really stands out to me. I don't think she can have a truly boring match as long as she's in the ring with someone who can somewhat keep up with her. Rhea is no slouch either. The spot where she countered Iyo's top rope dive with a HEADBUTT was different, but it worked. The crowd was also hilarious in this match. Bianca isn't a great referee but she tried. The ending of the match was just sheer chaos with Rhea being the last one standing in the ring. Even if there were some botches I've seen much worse in just about every match card."
"Aside from the few botches match was enjoyable.Slow at the end since it was focused on bianca as the referee. The Second half picked up well with great spots. Ending obviously sets up the triple threat."
[6.0] "Honestly think these two normally have great chemistry but it honestly was not their best match. The very big posionrana botch was the most noticeable bad part but a few other moves looked weird. Most of the match was still good but with how good their other matches have been this will get held to a higher standard. Bianca as the special guest ref was better than most special guest refs but it still did not give a good ending. Plus, why was she down for so long after one move. She is a wrestler so she takes that stuff a lot."
[4.0] "This match had the potential to be a show-stealer. However, the match ended with a ridiculously stupid finish. Even though I assumed this was exactly what they were going to do, it DID NOT make it better. You made me sit through this whole thing just to do the most predictable thing at the end. I understand why they did and whatever about the three way. It could be good. But you do not have to waste 30 minutes of time when you could have accomplished the exact same thing in five minutes."
[5.0] "Das Finish fand ich zu billig, es war auch stellenweise ein wenig unsauber. Das war kein Match für mich, zumal die beide (eigentlich alle 3) deutlich mehr können. Auch dieses Match war wieder mal sehr deutlich lediglich ein Storyvehikel und das ist schade"
[7.0] "A good solid main event match here, for whatever reason I thought Ripley was going over here! This match has helped continue the build for the inevitable triple threat at Mania."
[6.0] "Obvious filler to bridge the gap between now and Mania, with an incredibly stupid finish, but the first half of the match was really fun, if not as good as their previous clash on Raw. The only botch that really bothered me was that outside poisonrana, other than that my complaints are with the finish. No reason for Bianca to DQ Rhea other than to get her in the Mania match."
"Botchfest match, wrestlers like Bayley or Nia or Jade Cargill would have been dragged and insulted, but let Rhea and Iyo be protected, Trash build up Predictable ending"
[8.0] "The match was great , even with the Rhea's botches ( yes, every botch in that match was her fault sadly), but she's an incredible wrestler and still put a great match because she's too good. Iyo was fantastic like always and very smooth doing her moves and selling. I saw a comment here blaming to Iyo for everything and said that she failed a lot her moves and this is not true , the only move that she didn't connect 100% was at the beginning and it was because Iyo was on the air and trying to kick Rhea, but Rhea moved away and went quickly towards the ropes, so she didn't connect 100%, but the sequence was very fast and didn't affect the match at all, the rest of her performance was very good. Bianca as a ref was good, she did her job until the caos at the end."
[5.0] "I like Rhia and Iyo Sky. But this was boring and predictable. Once Bianca put on the referee crop top, she instantly became susceptible to any physical action towards her. Filler before their triple threat match at WrestleMania. **1/2"
[4.0] "I really can't justify rating this any higher than 4. Iyo was all over the place here, botchy as anything and I counted at least four of her moves or worky p's that failed to make contact with her opponent. Bianca did an ok job at reffing and the finish was alright, if not a little overbooked.... But Iyo's work was really poor."
[9.0] "Was a very good match, had me on the edge the whole time even though I knew there was going to be a screwy finish. One small mistake didn't throw the whole match and it flowed really well. While the match was going both girls had alot of offence and came off looking great"
[8.0] "Hurt a little by the botched poisonrana and the convoluted finish, but another pretty good match by these two, and before the finish Bianca did a good job too, this continues the story of Rhea not beating IYO and costing herself the matches (getting distracted by Bianca who did nothing and kicking Bianca before the pin and the hitting her)"
"Pretty average match considering the two wrestlers in it. There was more than a few botches here and Bianca didn't seem to know what to do half the time, at one point it looked as if she lost audio in her earpiece. Still a decent match but hardly the 10/10 that some people on here are making it out to be. Sets up the build to Wrestlemania nicely though - 6/10"
[6.0] "Similar to Jimmy/Gunther in being a match more about the result and future repercussions than the match itself. It was still a solid match furthering how Rhea has become a bit of a loose cannon in the wake of losing her championship and giving a bit more reason to get to the match being a triple threat at Wrestlemania. 6-6.5"
[7.0] "Not a bad match. These two have great chemistry almost every time they face off. I won't deny that Rhea's botch on the Poison Rana annoyed me quite a bit, just like I didn't really understand what they were going for with that spot off the top rope. I'm not saying this to discredit anything, just that while watching the match, I expected that to be the general flow of things. Some people were sure it would end in a disqualification, but I honestly wasn't. I still thought Rhea might win the title because this feels like the most unpredictable Road to WrestleMania feud. I have high expectations for their WrestleMania match, and I'm confident they can steal the show."
[10.0] "Another amazing match between these two, which I want to praise for every moment. Chemistry just flows between Ripley and Sky, they were created for matches with each other, everyone understood how their match would end, but that didn't stop them from giving their all as if Wrestlemania had already arrived and they were fighting in an impressive stadium. I'm glad that the moments of intense hatred for Bianca didn't distract from the match itself, and this gun went off at the end when the main program was over. I disagree with the fact that many people think that a masterpiece should be a pure wrestling match from start to finish, and as a fan of Japan in the 80s, I can say that sometimes this is the only way out if your goal is not to show an amazing match in a vacuum, but to give an impetus to the whole story, and it was perfect an example of such a booking. A phenomenal match, a great end to the show (****3/4)."
[9.0] "The main event was well-worked, but I'll admit, it was hard to fully invest when a cheap finish felt inevitable. Still not sold on taking the title off Ripley just to force a WrestleMania Triple Threat... but if they deliver an absolute banger as has been teased throught the build then fine, I'll be seated"
[8.0] "[3.75/5.00]: They were building towards another banger, no surprise there, but things blew up when Belair snapped after taking too many cheap shots. The double DQ made sense: it keeps Ripley and Sky strong without either eating a pin, and honestly, with tensions this high, a clean finish would've felt weird anyway, the post-match angle also made up for it."
[7.0] "Good match that was flirting with being great until the overbooked finish. Bianca getting bumped multiple times before iust deciding to dq Rhea is a weak finish and a underwhelming way to end off a good show. 3.5/5"
"[8/10] Of course the aftermath of the match was the main focus but I think they put on a great match. A couple of botches but they didn't ruin the flow of the match imo. Iyo and Rhea have very great chemistry together."
[8.0] "Best possible thing that this match could have done. Rhea has much better chemistry with Iyo than Liv and great selling from both women the whole match. Belair being ref builds up Mania perfectly and this may be my most anticipated match."
[8.0] "Es war für mich mein Match of the Night und es bleibt auch das Rhea nicht IYO in einem Singles Match bis jetzt besiegt hat. Es war ja kein Sieg. Ich gebe hier (***1/2)."
[4.0] "IYO SKY vs. Rhea Ripley bliebt absolut unter meinen Erwartungen. Es gab überhaupt keinen Matchfluss und es waren nur aneinander gereite moves. Einige davon waren Recht spektakulär, jedoch war das Match absolut unsauber. Der reversed rana draußen ging komplett in die Hose und auch der move der ecke sah absolut unsauber aus. War ein reines Storymatch in typisch überzogener Manier, im Bezug darauf was der Ringrichter abbekommt (**)."
[6.0] "This match is both a hit and a miss, a few botches in it but they came back from that but what I found to be a bit weird was the amount of ref bumps there were and then Bianca randomly deciding to dq them both after Iyo hits her even though Rhea literally hit her like 3 or 4 times before that. Bit random but we are getting a triple threat at mania so I'm excited to see what these ladies can do in a triple threat together."
