[7.0] "Not a fan of the booking of the match and Ripley's acting during it. The crowd is wild and behind Ripley. Baszler is much better than Ripley as a wrestler in this match. (3*1/2)"

[9.0] "This match at such a great element of drama in it. Baszler, while not being the most entertaining by her moves, was such a good heel in her NXT days and she really elevates Rhea as a face in this match. Rhea's great facial expressions really get the ending of this match to another level. 9/10."

[7.0] "Great match. Rhea was a believable opponent, really struggle to survive all of Shayna's tactics. Good way to end Baszler's big run with the title"

[9.0] "This was not only a great match, but one of the best moments I've seen on NXT TV. It's weird seeing Rhea as the underdog in a match but she was great here and did a great job overcoming Shayna's limb work and the interference of Duke and Shafir. I loved seeing the entire NXT roster come out to celebrate with Rhea."

[8.0] "I think it was great match without a doubt (**** sounds about right) but I didn't think it deserved more than 8. This felt like a moment-based match. The story was simple. Baszler was a big heel and Rhea played pretty great babyface role. Baszler's dominance was pretty basic but it was enough for the crowd to get behind Rhea. Rhea showed really performance overall. The final moments were really nice as Rhea struggled and fought back. The finish was great to end Baszler's title reign. However, I still think the work overall lacked something to become a truly fantastic battle."

[9.0] "An absolute classic to cap off a wonderful night. I love the story here so much. Ripley is such an amazing babyface here, eating up all the sympathy from the crowd to build up to that big win. That submission false finish at the end was so brilliantly done. It's one of the best false finish done via submission ever. Fantastic stuff. [****1/4]"

[9.0] "Amazing match, amazing storytelling between two of the best. Yet another TakeOver caliber match in this show, which is quite fantastic. I had high expectations for this match and it was even better than I had imagined, they told a big story and executed it brilliantly. Shayna's heel-work was masterful as usual, and Rhea has sublimated it perfectly in the manner of Kairi in 2018. This is easily Shayna's best match during her long reign as champion, and that's how you book the end of a legendary reign, that's how you create a star in the person of Rhea Ripley. Impressive main event, great action, great story, all under a great crowd, it was so damn excellent. Great job ladies. (****¼)"

[8.0] "Die beiden sind zwar keine Vertreterinnen der ganz feinen Klinge, aber was sie hier vor allen Dingen matchpsychologisch abliefern, ist aller Ehren wert. Man spürt beim Zusehen, dass die Story da ist, das sie, wenn auch nicht mit den begnadetsten Hilfsmitteln, plausibel erzählt wird. Klar wirkt das an einigen Stellen etwas over the top, vor allen Dingen beim Finisher, den Baszler regungslos hinnimmt, jedoch bewerte ich dann Drama und Matchstory höher. Das ist ein schicker Clash zweier Biester und am Ende dann im Rahmen ihrer Möglichkeiten das Beste, dass sie daraus machen konnten."

[6.0] "Rhea winning was the right decision. Dakota Kai or Io Shirai should dethrone Rhea Ripley as soon as possible or i feel that she may become exposed like Roman being pushed too soon before she is really ready as she is still unpolished. Congratulations to Rhea Ripley becoming the first person to hold both NxT and NXT UK titles. ***"

[6.0] "Sicherlich eines der besseren Shayna Baszler Matches, neben dem Fourway und dem Match gegen Mia Yim wahrscheinlich, aber es ist eben immer noch ein Shayna BAszler Match. Das bedeutet sie zeigt wieder einmal so gut wie gar nichts außer mehrmals die gleichen Submissions und den Spot bei dem sie auf Rheas Hand stampft. Natürlich müssen dann auch noch die anderen beiden MMA Damen kommen, aber Rhea wird natürlich als Superwoman gebookt und kann in der zugegeben sehr starken Schlussphase der Submission entkommen und Shayna endlich besiegen. Mich hat es kaum noch interessiert, da man diesen schrecklichen Titelrun nun viel zu lang hinausgezögert hat, dennoch freut es mich für Rhea, sie ist sehr talentiert und kann sicherlich endlich auch mal wieder gute Women's Matches bei NXT liefern, ich hoffe nur man bringt bei Takeover jetzt nicht das Rematch."

[9.0] "Great TV main event. Rhea's selling of the arm was a nice touch and came into play with Shayna's attitude. The right person won in a match that, while not the best in terms of action, was the best in terms of story and atmosphere. The reaction to the finish alone is worth something."

[10.0] "This was phenomenal. Great storytelling here with Rhea getting the big win over the dominant champion. Felt similar to when Sami Zayn beat Neville for the men's belt way back, also at the end of the year, also featuring a ring full of people hoisting the victor onto their shoulders and celebrating. The stomp on the arm on the steps looked sufficiently brutal and Baszler focusing on it like a shark was almost scary. Rhea did a reasonable job of selling it for the most part."

[8.0] "Great main event, starting slow but then picking up in intensity and storytelling. They risked of pushing too hard with the overbooking, but luckily it was well balanced. The closing stretch had a huge amount of drama, with the audience going nuts in supporting an incredible babyface performance by Ripley. The title change comes at the right time: differently from many NXT fans, I really liked Shayna's tenure, she has been a great champion, perhaps more in her character's weekly building than in actual matches. Ripley is simply a fuckin' star and she proved it once more on this occasion. ****"

[9.0] "Dieses Match ist ein perfekter Beweis dafür, dass man nicht über spektakuläre Moves aneinander reihen muss um ein sehr gutes Match auf die Beine stellen. Die beiden zeigen hier auch in einer perfekten Länge eine sehr stark erzählte Heel vs Facestory, bei der Shayna und Rhea in ihren jeweiligen Rollen aufgehen und eine unglaubliche Spannung erzeugen. Dieses Match fühlt sich episch und der Titelwechsel dann dementsprechend groß an, was auch am sehr guten Aufbau liegt. Ein rundherum sehr gutes Match ubd wahrscheinlich eines der besten WWE Matches des Jahres, für mich auf jeden Fall das beste TV Match, weswegen ich 9 Punkte für angemessen halte."
Rocky7 wrote on 19.12.2019:
[10.0] "Incredible storytelling, referring back to what made all of Shayna's title defenses successful, and how Rhea was able to overcome everything. Not many times in history where there's just as big a pop for getting out of a signature submission hold as there was for the win itself. NXT deserves credit for getting Rhea Ripley hot, maintaining it, and striking at the right time. And there's plenty of credible challengers in wait, so this is going to be such a fun title reign, and a great way to kick it off."

[9.0] "Rhea wird auf Augenhöhe dargestellt und so ist es nicht die typische Baszler-Story, da diese sich durchaus strecken muss, um dominant zu wirken. Das gelingt ihr dennoch und auch Rheas Power & Dominanz der letzten Wochen verpufft hier nicht, sondern wird gut ins Match transportiert. Das false finish mit dem Stuhl war ideal, da es die Dramatik doch deutlich befeuert hat. Geht Rhea doch nicht over? Braucht Shayna diese Auswege, um zu verteidigen? Schlussphase sitzt und leitet den Ausgang gut ein. Einzig das Finish verpasst den großen Big Time Moment, dennoch eine gute Nummer."

[9.0] "Wirklich gutes und zum Teil brutales Match. Beide haben gezeigt was sie können. Baszler war mehr auf den rechten Arm von Rhea Ripley konzentriert aber das hat Ripley wenig gestört. Selbst das Eingreifen von Marina Shafir und Jessamyn Duke störte Ripley relativ wenig. Das Match hat mir sehr gut gefallen und das Ending auch. Mich störte Shayna Baszler als Champion schon eine Weile und jetzt bin ich wirklich froh, dass es eine neue NXT Women's Champion gibt: Rhea Ripley."

[6.0] "That was a decent match with an unecessary ref bump that led into nothing, except the kickout of Rhea from that DDT on the chair. The ending is pretty nice, but did not overlooked the ref bump for me. ***1/4"

[8.0] "Finally, someone dethroned Shayna's title reign, it has been more than a year since she won the title last year at Evolution PPV, however, this was a good match between Rhea and Shayna, even though I was waiting for Rhea to finally show the Top Con Hilo on NXT television (which unfortunately she didn't) but it was cool to see some great spots like Rhea doing her finisher from the top rope and Shayna doing the DDT against Rhea on a steel chair, and the celebration of Rhea's victory at the end was heartwarming"
