[8.0] "This was a very good match between Priest and Dunne here, exactly the match I expected from them and expected from a main event like this. Both of them connected even better than I expected and I think this was the match that revealed Priest because he really got to shine and it was his first big match in the company. Let's highlight Dunne's performance as well as he was the perfect opponent to give Priest his first big win in the promotion, Priest was still undefeated at that time but had never beaten any big names, well Dunne sacrificed himself by making him shine like never before. Dunne was fantastic in this match as usual, he did a great job on Priest's arm, fingers and knee, his kicks are devastating and it's crazy how captivating he is to watch when he's in action, he delivered his usual arsenal and the crowd was completely invested. There was inconsistency in Priest's selling and that's the problem with this wrestler, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't like his various comebacks. The finish didn't bother me, it was an original ref bump that was different from the usual ones and Priest came out of this pretty strong. Great match."

[6.0] "Dank eines Low Blow in der letzten Sekunde bleibt Damian Priest ungeschlagen. Bis dahin macht es ihm aber der Bruiserweight alles andere als einfach, denn es ist ein solider Brawl mit anständiger Würze, der die Crowd auch akzeptabel mitnimmt. Insgesamt flasht mich das alles nicht so wirklich, den abseits der derben Keilerei sind das nur wenige spärlich dosierte Signatures mit überschaubarer Erzählstruktur präsentiert. Das ist als Mainer einer TV-Show absolut in Ordnung, bei gehobener Erwartungshaltung würde ich aber die Bewertung nach unten korrigieren müssen."

[7.0] "Gutes TV-Match, welches sehenswerte Action recht spielerisch mit guter Charakter-Arbeit kombiniert. Priest hätte ruhig noch mehr Tiefe erhalten können, aber das funktioniert dennoch gut. Kein TakeOver-Niveau, aber gehobenes TV-Niveau in jedem Fall."

[7.0] "Aus Punishment Martinez wird also Damien Priest. Es war das erste Match bei NXT, welches ich von ihm gesehen habe. In Sachen Präsent hat er sich nochmal verbessert und er bildet somit ein interessantes Gesamtpaket. Ich hoffe er bekommt die nötige Zeit sich bei NXT zu entwickeln. Gutes Match mit einem dankbaren Gegner mit gutem body part work."

[8.0] "Priest gg. Dunne war als Mainer dann das klare MotN. Da galt nur die Devise ? auf die Fresse, bis einer nicht mehr kann? , nur das Ende konnte dann nicht dem Motto entsprechen. Hat mich aber null gestört, da der Low Blow zum einen sehr clever eingefädelt wurde und Priest halt der Heel ist (****1/4)."

[7.0] "Nach dem Dunne zu Beginn wieder seine Fingerwork zeigte, wurde es danach aber mehr ein Spotfest mit einigen , entscheidenden Moment wie kurz vor Schluss, als Dunne den entscheidenden Fehler macht und Priest schließlich gewinnt. Wrestlerisch muss man daher sagen, dass das kein schlechtes Match war, es hat mich aber emotional nicht extrem mitgerissen und ich hätte es besser gefunden, wenn das Fingerwork vom Beginn fortgesetzt worden wäre. Dennoch natürlich ein unterhaltsames, mehr als anständiges Match, welches 7 Punkte verdient."

[7.0] "I had to rewatch this as the adverts in the live broadcast completely broke my concentration. It was far better than I originally thought and proves that split screen advertising can ruin a match. The furious pace at the beginning took its toll on both men as the middle section was pretty slow and very sloppy. But they both recovered to unleash some nice spots and really up the pace and intensity towards the end. I don't buy a lot of Dunne's offense against bigger men, especially the "small joint manipulation", but Priest did eventually overpower him. The ending was brilliant and the stiff kick to the nuts made me laugh out loud."

[7.0] "A very solid main event between 2 solid workers. I enjoy Pete Dunne but the jury is still out for me on Priest but he impressed here. *** 1/2 (3. 5)"

[9.0] "If you like Pete Dunne you'll love this match, works the digits early before Priest uses his size to take advantage. Dunne then uses the babyface fire to get back into it and they have a pretty slick match. Some cool spots, somersault plancha, the Razor's edge (I love seeing this move brought back) and then some cool counters. They're presented as equals and it takes some heel trickery to break the deadlock, didn't mind it at all"

[6.0] "3rd best match of the night after the tag team match and the no. 1 contender match. Dunne was amazing as always but I felt that Damien Priest was a bit sloppy. The ending was anticlimactic. Didn't expect Damien Priest to win. Dunne should not have lost again although at least Damien Priest didn't beat him clean. I feel like Dunne can be a great contender for both NXT Title and NXT UK Title. Any way great TV match and good match that had lots of good spots but over-all lacking something."
