AJ Styles, Karl Anderson & Luke Gallows vs. Keith Lee, Matt Riddle & Tommaso Ciampa

[7.0] "This was a very good match. What's curious about this match is that this is only 1 of 2 matches AJ Styles ever had in NXT. He was a rare exception who bypassed NXT to get to the main roster. So it was cool to see him in NXT during the Black & Gold Era. This was leading up to Survivor Series, where it was 3 brands going at it with Raw, Smackdown and NXT. Here we had the OC going up against Keith Lee, Matt Riddle and Tommaso Ciampa, all of whom would be on Team NXT at Survivor Series. This was a fun match, with all 3 NXT roster members getting time to shine against AJ and the Good Brothers. Things turned chaotic when Lee hit the pounce on AJ, but accidentally knocked down the referee in the process. We eventually got a ringside appearance from Finn Balor and alluded to his and AJ's days in Bullet Club. AJ went for a Styles Clash, but Adam Cole came in to attack AJ with a superkick and The Last Shot. He did this because when the OC showed up at the beginning of the program, they attacked The Undisputed Era, so this was revenge. ***3/4"

[7.0] "A very fun tv all stag tag to main event NXT. This was on the road to Survivor Series and had fun Main Roster vs NXT moments here. Some of the few times AJ and The Good Brothers gets to work with Keith Lee, Ciampa and Riddle in extended minutes. Very light match with a very unorginal finish to protect everyone. Not against non finishes but it has the lame we still want to build the NXT title program but also brand supremecy matters. ***1/4"

[7.0] "This is a pretty neat deal, as an act that bypassed NXT entirely stops by in the name of a Wednesday Night War. This took place on the road to Survivor Series, which I recall being the brand's strongest stretch on the USA Network. The O.C. feel like a massive deal in this setting, standing opposite a babyface trio that's aged interestingly. They are all rocking and rolling at this moment in time though, shining bright against the main roster vets. It's an exciting piece of TV more than it is a great match, but this is very good regardless. Perhaps most impressively, it feels like they've barely scratched the surface before the no-finish, which says a lot about just how well this was clicking. ***1/2, a hoot."

[6.0] "Fun main event. The only problem here is the ending that doesn't make sense and who was just there to protect everybody but it was very badly done, the match didn't even end and I still don't understand why Bálor and Cole intervened, and even less to attack NXT guys in the middle of the Survivor Series build-up. But apart from that, the match itself is pretty good, as expected with these very good workers. OC's heel-work was good and worked very well in front of a Full Sail crowd that was on absolute fire from start to finish. The hot-tag was very well built to lead to Riddle's entry into the match, he's one of the best for that and he brought a crazy energy to the match. After his entry it was a huge sprint until the end, fun to watch. I also liked the interactions between Lee and Gallows, a cool big men's battle. And I especially liked how they presented to us the different Styles/Ciampa face-off as a big deal every time, one day we'll have this match I hope. Nothing bad to say except the ending, the rest was ok. (***Œ)"

[7.0] "Great match with everyone involved getting the chance to showcase their skills with plenty of big moves and drama nice way to end the show."

[9.0] "Constant action in this match, Riddle looked really good here. More so than usual. The crowd was super invested for this which made for a good atmosphere. The non finish could be an issue for some but I was happy with the interference, it all made sense. The Raw v NXT story was told really well."

[5.0] "A fun match with Riddle snagging a fantastic comeback sequence and a cool call back with balor and Styles but besides that there? s not much else to come back to here."

[6.0] "Could've been better. It's not wrong to focus on the team-chemistry of OC, especially before Survivor-Series it's more important. Unfortunately the expectations were quite different, because after all it's AJ Styles' first match in NXT-style. In the end except for the climaxing part of the match, it felt more like a good main-roster tag-team match. It's a big disappointment that the match just ended. And I wish the moment between Styles and Balor would've been the final image - it was a long awaited moment and in the end it felt too short."

[6.0] "I would have loved it if it had a proper ending but this was good. And I can atleast understand that Both NXT and Raw could not loose before Survivor Series. I especially love Keith Lee who is always spectator in the ring with an intense charisma and great in ring psychology. Riddle was good and then he botched an outside dive that could have seriously injured him. ***1/4"
