[9.0] "great match, this is definitely the best match kairi has had in wwe easily. rhea when allowed to wrestle is one of the best in the world, she has had an incredible 2025."
[10.0] "Probably my favorite kairi sane match in her wwe career, their chemistry is geniunely awesome Kairi is great when she wrestles women who can adapt to her and rhea has just been on another level this year. Easily the best woman aside from iyo on the roster"
[8.0] "I still absolutely love the storyline between these four women. Kairi saved Asuka, but Asuka rewarded her with a slap. We also got another good match. At the end, Rhea is injured, and we can now focus on the three Japanese women."
[10.0] "Dare i say, rhea ripley's best tv match of the year, possibly kairi's best singles match in the wwe as a whole as well. They killed it over there, kairi has been amazing since returning and i like her as a babyface a lot more, rheas a great base and easily one of the best wrestlers in NA"
[7.0] "It's funny I often think I'm not into watching Rhea's matches then realise she has featured in most of my favourite WWEmatches this year. Although this isn't one of them it was certainly solid and a good television match and Kairi is the best baby faced heel around!"
[7.0] "I'm so glad that they continued this storyline and Rhea with Kairi showed the best match on this show. Crown sometimes freaking out and that was funny. Level of wrestling is great, with many intresting and powerful moments. Actually I'm surprised about Sane, because in WWE she didn't do something like this for a long time."
[8.0] "Kairi has finally found her groove as a WWE wrestler, another really good match and performance from her here. She has good chemistry with Rhea."
[10.0] "Absolutely fantastic. Watching this I had a smile on my face the whole time and it adds to the story of Kairi and Asuka because once Kairi is in the ring she doesn't act as innocent as she portrays but she is so fun to watch. Rhea as always is fantastic and clearly loves making her opponents look great. They were both stiff as hell with eachother and I loved the nuance of Kairi repeatedly trying to reverse/ get out of Rhea's offence with her failing that very last time."
[10.0] "This match was an absolute masterclass from both of them. I definitely think this is Kairi's best match in WWE since returning. Rhea has also been having great matches constantly in 2025 which makes me excited too see some more of her in-ring outside of the world title picture."
[10.0] "Extremely sick TV match, these two are just wonderful and they showed awesome chemistry. Hard to believe this was their first ever singles match, they nailed it right out of the gate. The overarching story with Iyo and Asuka was nicely included without taking away from the action."
[7.0] "Good match. Kairi has seemingly gained a lot of confidence recently and her in-ring work has improved a lot. This is her best singles match since her return, after last week's against IYO which was the previous best. Kairi and Rhea showed good chemistry, even with Kairi being a heel she still gave off that underdog vibe and looked strong. Asuka and IYO were at ringside, they didn't get involved too much but just enough to remind you of the story being told between everyone here. Rhea wins with a Riptide, but after the match the Kabuki Warriors leave both IYO and Rhea laying. 7.5/10"
[7.0] "It was a solid match, Kairi came out aggressively, landed chops and strikes, and tried to make it a physical fight. Rhea countered with power, headbutts, and structure, gradually gaining control. The storytelling held up: Kairi's offense looked dangerous, Rhea's comeback felt earned. The finish, while not shocking, made sense and kept both women credible. But a few spots felt predictable, and the pacing dipped slightly in the middle. The match didn't reach "great" status, but it was entertaining and effective for the moment."
[8.0] "[4 Stars] It was the first match broadcast between the two, and I hope it won't be the last. They really have great chemistry. Kairi is putting in a string of good performances at the moment, which is great to see."
[6.0] "The match was an okay affair raised by a pretty hot crowd but the best moments happened after the bell. The DDT to the table that Asuka hit on Rhea was phenomenal. One of the better spots in WWE recently."
"This match was superb. Still I've got a ton of problems with Kairi's offence looking so ineffective even though stiff, she looks like she's throwing baby punches sometimes. Other than that this match was excellent given the momentum. The storytelling was fantastic, the facial expressions were good and everything landed just perfect."
[5.0] "An step above Asuka vs Rhea, this one feels more like Kairi really stood out as a sort of evil David to the babyface giant in Rhea. Just from the start, she was evading and getting hits in, yet it does not really feel hopeless for Rhea, her charisma was on full display as she dominated Kairi. Kairi though, is very resilient and her getting so much, in on Rhea really is a benefit to it. Still, Rhea falls into her bad tendencies , and she usually drags her opponent along with her. That Razor's edge so good, but yet, Kairi must kick out for the sake of it. It could have ended there, and although Kairi has great instinct to make it believable, it annoyed me. Still, this was a nicely paced match and more of an Kairi match than a Ripley match. Kairi's for sure still got it."
[8.0] "The high point of the show. Both showed remarkable chemistry: Kairi excelled with her agility and precision, while Rhea imposed her strength and dominant presence from the first minute. The contrast in styles worked perfectly, with Sane attempting to wear down her opponent with quick, aerial attacks, and Ripley responding with her physical power and control of the pace. The crowd was engaged throughout the match, especially in the final exchanges, where IYO SKY and Asuka also added tension without stealing the show. The outcome, with Rhea prevailing after a brutal and clean sequence, cemented her image as a solid and feared champion. A resounding victory and a great performance from both. 8/10."
[9.0] "Great match! Kairi's best singles match in the main roster.I'm so happy they're trusting Kairi with singles and longer matches. She's on a great run."
[7.0] "This was a good match. I didn't expect this to be good, I thought its was gonna end in the stupid DQ or something, but no, they got ton have a pretty good match."
[7.0] "Bon match entre les deux mais je trouve que Kairi a très peu d'offense durant le match qui est plutôt long , avec la différence de gabarit entre les deux ses attaques paraissent moins crédibles et donc ça paraît étonnant de voir Kairi résister autant."
[10.0] "Fantastic match between rhea ripley and Kairi sane first of all I really happy to see old Kairi sane theme song is back hope it's end of def rebel Kairi is very good in this match made her like a really star rhea is awesome as always great 4.25 star match"
[9.0] "Kairi/Rhea is clearly the match of the night. What a match. It's Kairi's best match since her return against Rhea, who is still at the top of her game. The in-ring action is very good, the kind of match that proves that the RAW women's division is excellent."
[9.0] "Rhea Ripley is one of the best wrestlers in the world, and as of late, she has been wrestling a lot, which has been making me happier because you need those superstars to fight on the weekly shows. She was wrestling again in her home country of Australia and against the Kabuki Warriors' own Kairi Sane. This match was so much fun. Rhea Ripley was in her element, same like Kairi Sane, and they tore it down. IYO SKY was on the outside and had a run-in with Asuka as they battled on the outside. Rhea Ripley finally got the upper hand, hitting a Riptide to get the win. However, afterwards, the Kabuki Warriors still stood tall as they attacked IYO SKY and Rhea Ripley, and Kaiir Sane, who had been emotionally manipulated, was fighting back tears as Asuka commended her to take out both women alongside her."
[8.0] "Really good match. Rhea Ripley and Kairi Sane are tremedous wrestlers who are both in their prime form. Cool moves, big feeling thanks to crowd, nice storyline all around, cool involvement of Asuka and Iyo, and very fine ending. I enjoyed it even more than Kabukis vs. Rhiyo but maybe because the expectations were lower."
[8.0] "Didn't expect them to make Kairi look so strong in defeat but I'm all for it. She gave Rhea a very good fight and was even allowed to stand tall after the match. Clear this story isn't over and maybe we're getting a tornado/extreme tag at SNME probably"
