[7.0] "The story this match tells is extremely simple and very well executed. I really think Khali should have defeated Cena for the belt at some point during this feud."

[5.0] "Most of this was Cena being dominated and destroyed, he sold quite well making Khali look strong. They kept it short and sweet and simple with Cena overcoming by taking out the knees and locking in the unstoppable (at the time) STFU."

[3.0] "theres nothing to this match, credit to cena for making it interesting at points but its never really that interesting khali hits his standard moves and throws cena, cena uses a drop kick to the steps hits his leg drop and locks in a stfu to win"

[5.0] "There's not much too this, Cena has to do alot to make Khali's challenge passable. What's interesting about Khali is he's a very impressive physical specimen.. Obviously took care of his giant body to look as built as he is, but he has very little feel for wrestling so at times it can feel like his opponents are wrestling a robot. Khali tapping out was probably the only finish they could do but for me, it kinda kills the feud for a monster to tap."

[6.0] "Cena all-time carry job. Worked his ass off to get this actually really good match out of Khali, was kinda so fucking boss, but was short and some shit from Khali looked horrible. ***1/4"

[4.0] "Once again - Khali sucks and he's useless with his lack of charisma, but Cena really made the best out of it. He bumped like crazy for Khali and the moves he pulled on the big man looked impressive, but at the end of the day Khali's not Andre and I couldn't take him as a real threat."

[5.0] "Judgement Day is Khali's event. What I mean by that is that for the second straight year at that event, he had a match that wasn't absolute pits. Cena sold his ass off and the match was surprisingly never boring. It kept a good pace but then the ending was very cartoonish. I don't believe for one second that Khali couldn't have powered out of that STFU. It was also very sudden without much of a comeback sequence. Cena hit two moves and then "Cena wins, lol." Not really what you'd expect from a WWE Championship PPV main event, but it was probably one of Khali's best matches."

[3.0] "Khali sucks and cant wrestle but Cena tried his ass off to make this viewable which is very commendable. Doesnt mean its good, far from it, it sucks, but I have to respect how hard Cena was trying in this one. He sold like a madman for the lumbering training dummy. God bless his heart."

[3.0] "Poor match. Why is it in the main event? Khali just overthrown cena. Cena just did his poor comeback story here. It's so disgusting to see at. (*1/2)"

[4.0] "Probably about as good a match as you're going to get about Khali. This one reminded me, unfortunately, of the Hogan era. Babyface gets knocked around a lot and then has a massive comeback before the victory. Sums this match up pretty well. An inoffensive match, and they were smart enough to keep it short to keep the vulnerabilities in check. This really shouldn't have been the main event, but I imagine was put there to send the fans home happy instead of a heel Edge winning as the main event. This match might be a bit better than your expectations for it might be, but it's nothing special, either."

[4.0] "It was short, Cena gets beat up and bumps like a pinball around the ring while commentary drives in how huge and unbeatable Khali is, and Cena gets the win with a long STFU. The right story, told concisely, so about as good as this match was going to get. **"

[5.0] "There's not too much to say about this match. For Great Khali this was actually decent, I suppose. The key here is that it was short and John Cena carried this match pretty well, considering. I cannot say I hated or loved this match; it's just middling."

[5.0] "This was decent. It was smart to keep it short. Putting Khali in a longer match would have been a terrible idea. Cena worked his ass off here and sold for everything well while overselling when needed. The match was 90% offense for Khali, which isn't the most exciting thing to watch, but Cena did a nice job of bumping for him."

Donnie wrote on 23.07.2020:
"Truly one of Big Match Jaw's finest carry jobs. He sells like a madman for the big fella, and his comebacks are wonderful as hell. GK actually rules at killing him, and even throws a spin kick! The final 2 minutes are awesome, and JR selling like a King puts it over the top ***1/2"
