[8.0] "This was an excellent match. After Kassius Ohno returned to NXT in 2017, he went to NXT UK in 2019 to work with the younger talent and to help put them over. Tyler Bate of course was one of NXT UK's biggest stars, so it wasn't surprising that these two would face off. They went for a slow paced match that would build as it went on. These two are great at what they do and by the end, the crowd was hooked and Tyler Bate got a big win out of it. ****1/4"
[9.0] "I truly, honestly did not expect to love this match but here i am giving it such a high level of praise. It's flawless. Not in the mood to drone on about it because looking like i loved an NXT UK match that didn't involve WALTER is a bit of a faux pas (obviously joking) [4.5]"
[8.0] "Fucking incredible main event here. Electric crowd, brilliant feats of strength from Tyler and Ohno being an incredible heel throughout. Wish they had another match in a bigger stage, like a takeover."
[8.0] "Man I loved this match so much after it happened. It was ppv worthy. For a week show this was a 9/10. On a bigger platform with a build this could have been incredible. It is a classic match and you should go out to watch but it is definitely forgotten. Trying to keep the memory alive folks. I rated it 8/10 because it doesnt add up to anything NJPW is doing, but for the effort and shock value alone it is worthy of a 9. ****3/4"
[9.0] "A superb clash of styles with a very well told David vs Goliath dynamic. When you give so much time to two wrestlers of their caliber, obviously it was going to be fantastic and it was, they delivered a match that would have had its place on any TakeOver ever. Ohno was a brilliant heel here, his heel-work was top notch, between his moments of domination and his trash-talk, he's really a master for this kind of match. And in front of him he had one of the best babyface in the history of this industry Tyler Bate who sublimated his work. It was Bate's first match after his defeat against WALTER at TakeOver and what a superhuman performance. He really does things that not many athletes of his age can do in the wrestling world right now, carrying Ohno on his back and spinning around with him, I didn't think he was going to make it and yet it was a great moment. At the start of the match Nigel McGuinness said it was going to be an amazing contest that everyone was going to be talking about the next morning and he was right as it was long described as the best match in NXT UK TV history before WALTER vs Dragunov take place last year. Tremendous stuff here, two great wrestlers doing great things, I highly recommend it. (****¼)"
[7.0] "Wie zu erwarten ist das eine runde Sache. Besonders die unterschiedlichen Kraft- und Größenverhältnisse wissen die beiden gekonnt in die Matchstory einzuflechten. Technisch ist das zudem sauber und von der Dramaturgie im Rahmen der Möglichkeiten angemessen, wobei eigentlich schon klar ist, dass Bate das Ding mit nach Hause nehmen muss. Angenehmes TV-Match, welches diese Episode etwas aus den doch eher mauen Vorwochen herausstechen lässt."
[8.0] "This started with the two WRESTLERS showing off their deep technical prowess, and then transitioned into a more traditional match, with Bate shining again when he has to fight from below against all odds. And it was a pleasure to see Ohno shining in its role. ****"
[8.0] "Dass sie es können, weiß man es ja. Dass sie dafür den Rahmen bekommen, war schon fraglicher. Bate und Ohno bekamen ihn und konnten so fast ein wenig TakeOver-Qualität in die TV-Tapings bringen. Der Storyhintergrund ist nice, auch wenn er letztendlich ausschließlich von Kassius getragen wurde. Hätte man hier konsequenter UK-Wrestling ins Match getragen und Bate mit seiner Definition von Strong Style kontern lassen, wäre das Ding durch die Decke gegangen, so fehlt es hier an dem Extra an Tiefe, aber die Action, die Impact-Moves, die Dynamik und auch das Pacing regeln fein den Rest. (****¼+)"
[8.0] "Die beiden zeigen hier ein Match, was in dieser Form auch bei einem Takeover UK hätte stattfinden können. Starkes Characterwork von beiden, welches besonders auch die Heel/Facedynamik anfeuert, vermischt sich mit dem guten Submisdionstil von Ohno im Clash mit Bates Dynamik zu einem guten Match, dasd vielleicht an manchen Stellen etwas behäbig und etwas lang aber insgesamt wirklich gut und unterhaltsam ist und daher 8 Punkte verdient."
