[6.0] "If Asuka had this same match against an opponent that knew how to sell and had an audience, it might have been great. Unfortunately, she was against Sasha Banks, who couldn't sell water in a desert, so most of the offense feels flat and choreographed due to that lack of selling. While the match had a few really good bumps on the big spots, and an ending with great counter wrestling, the high points don't overcome the fact that this was somewhat soft hitting match. It's still a very good watch, but the lack of selling and lack of crowd reaction; the latter of which these two obviously could not help; held it back plenty."

[7.0] "For sure the better of Asuka's two matches on this show. This one just worked better for me than her match with Bayley. I think having Asuka lose her match with Bayley and win her match with Banks was the best decision. I don't think Asuka needed to have both titles, and I didn't really want Bayley and Banks to have both Women's Titles for too long. I thought it was nice for them to have all of the titles, but it being short-lived was definitely the right call."

[6.0] "These two were cooking, but weren't given enough time. Shame we never got a flat out Classic from these two when they were both in WWE. The powerbomb to the floor was brutal and the mat work near the end was pretty tidy."

[8.0] "Nicht ganz so stark wie der Street Fight kann auch sein das halt Asuka durch die Verletzung nicht mehr ganz fit war und trotzdem gewann. Asuka vs Sasha ist einfach eine Paarung die kann ich immer wieder sehen (***1/2)."

[10.0] "One of my favourite matches of 2020. Sasha and Asuka proved their exceptional chemistry at Extreme Rules and topped themselves here with an actual finish, exceptional technical wrestling and a distinct face/heel narrative."

[8.0] "It turned out to be the most intense clash Sasha & Asuka had to have throughout this great dynamic contest ! It included some fun & big moves namely Sasha turning over doing a powerbomb off the apron to crash her rival and also Asuka albeit fighting earlier, did execute a devastating DDT off the middle turnbuckle ! Both women have a great chemistry and this one ruled, Sasha & Asuka delivered great battle series this year with this awesome showdown !"

[6.0] "Zehn Minuten wirklich seriöser Qualität mit einigen netten Moves, so zum Beispiel die eingesprungene Powerbomb vom Mattenrand oder der Versuch, das Hart-Piper Finish aus dem Hoosier Dome zum Nearfall zu verwerten. Insgesamt eine ziemlich runde Leistung, die aufgrund diverser Restriktionen, wie Matchzeit oder Storytelling, leider nie die Freiheit geniesst, sich vollumfänglich entfalten zu dürfen. Was beide daraus machen ist eine seriöse Partie, aber leider auch kein richtiges Schmuckstück. Abgerundet."

[5.0] "If you took all the good sections from the Sasha/Asuka matches you'd probably get a really good match, but this is yet another case of Sasha and Asuka having a decent but underwhelming match. This was mostly your usual Asuka/Sasha match with some good spots like the apron powerbomb but the rest of the action wasn't too memorable. Sasha targeting Asuka's leg that was injured previously in the night was good, but it didn't lead to anything and Asuka didn't bother selling it either. **3/4"

[4.0] "This was very underwhelming, especially considering the fact that it's these two going at it. I definitely liked Sasha going after Asuka's knee right from the get go -- Bayley attacked it earlier on in the night, so it made all the sense in the world for Sasha to target it as well, but Asuka certainly wasn't up for selling it, so it just felt like complete useless filler, essentially. Other than that, they had some really neat ideas & spots (that apron powerbomb thooo) here n' there in this, but overall it just fell flat. Out of all the matches they've had against each other, that I've watched, this is easily the weakest thus far."

[8.0] "Das Storytelling ist gut, Sasha arbeitet einfach überragend zuletzt und auf Asuka ist halt auch Verlass. Sie gehen mit der eher knappen Matchzeit gut um und wie Sasha nach Bayley ruft, war wirklich gut inszeniert. Sehr feine Mischung aus Story und Action. Aller Ehren wert!"

[6.0] "It is a nice match without selling the previous Asuka's match, in fact the knee injury is not selled during the match and Asuka doesn't seem in a worst shape than Sasha. ***1/4"

[9.0] "I had this as just slightly better than Seth and Dominick and it was done in half the time. Some crazy spots, a few of them looked dangerous. The build toward the Sasha/Bayley split continues, the longest built feud in a long time. Both wrestlers were excellent as you would expect."

[7.0] "Wrestlerisch das etwas bessere der beiden Womens Title Matches, obwohl sie auch hier nur 11-12 Minuten bekommen. Beide sind natürlich sehr fähige Wrestlerinnen und hätte locker noch 5 Minuten füllen können aber auch so ein ordentliches Match, welches leider wieder mit Eingriff endet."

[10.0] "Rewatched this and I liked it a little less upon second viewing, but I still thought it was totally great. Easily the best WWE womens match of 2020, with the only one close to it being the match these two had at Extreme Rules (which was underrated to an overbooked finish), its certainly better than the Charlotte/Rhea/Io match, since that one was way sloppier and had some blatant no selling from one of the wrestlers. Unlike that, this match was not sloppy, had decent selling, crazy spots and bumps, and packed a lot of action and tension into about 11 minutes. But still, its missing something to put at that MOTYC level. Ah well. ****1/4"

[6.0] "There was some cool spots in here like the sunset bomb off the apron and Sashas counter into the codebrealer, but I didnt find the connective tissue between all that stuff particularly good or interesting. It was also kinda weird/unsatisfying how they spent the first chunk of the match w/ Sasha going after Asukas leg, but then Asuka almost immediately stopped selling the leg and Sasha never went back after it any point during the rest of the thing even when she was getting overwhelmed by Asuka in the submissions/big moves trading section at the end. Wasnt a bad match or anything just kinda dissapointing given the talent involved and the quality of their prior matches ***1/4"
The Beholder wrote on 26.08.2020:
[9.0] "I absolutely loved this match. It was great right off the bell with Sasha going directly after Asuka's knee, which Bayley had already worked on earlier in the night. Then Asuka takes a brutal powerbomb off the apron as this match went to another level. One complaint was that they never did anything more with the injured legs after the powerbomb spot, but it doesn't take away from how brutal that spot was. I love the exchanges of submission finishers leading up to the finish, and thank god we finally get a real finish in this series of matches between these two. Not everything was hit with complete fluidity, which might take away from the overall match, but it still easily stole the show. ****1/4-****1/2"

[6.0] "Can't say I was very much impressed by this match. I thought it was a fine match, with some cool spots and counters, but some sequences were kinda sloppy and not really interesting. Overall a fine match but I do believe they are both capable of much better!"

[7.0] "Banks gg. Asuka (oder die Gehirnerschütterungs Ralley) fand ich zwar auch spannend, aber vom reinen In-Ring Geschehen hatten beide noch etwas Luft nach oben. Soll trotzdem nicht heißen, dass es kein guter Kampf gewesen ist, da man aufgrund der Vorgeschichte ja eh eine andere Matchstory erwarten konnte (***1/2)."

Sebastian V wrote on 24.08.2020:
[8.0] "In diesem Match merkte man, dass Asuka im Vergleich zum ersten Match in den nächsten Gang schaltete und so zeigte sie hier mit Sasha ein dynamisches Match, welches hin und her ging und dadurch auch einiges an Spannung generierte. Die Offensive von beiden war gewohnt gut und somit war es dann insgesamt - auch wenn es vom Storytelling her vielleicht nicht das tiefgründigste Match war - ein wirklich gutes Match, welches 8 Punkte verdient."

[9.0] "Asuka/Sasha was just perfect storytelling, back and forth action, and overall wrestling. These two have insane chemsitry. The bump Asuka took on the apron was insanity. (****1/2)"

[8.0] "The perfect way to cap off what this Asuka/Bayley/Sasha feud has been. Okay, so maybe it's not completely over, but it was the right direction to go in! Everyone expected Asuka to win, and it happened, but that's not a bad thing at all. It was the right call, and while the match was much shorter than the previous Asuka/Sasha PPV matches this year, it was the perfect continuation of what happened in the Asuka/Bayley match earlier in the night. Most importantly, there was finally a clean finish to a match between these two! Well done. 3. 5 stars"

[7.0] "The continuation of the two part battle between Asuka and Sasha Banks- Bayley duo. The first match in which Bayley's work set up the the leg of Asuka for Sasha but Asuka didn't crumble but instead fought hard dig deep down to also targeted the leg of Sasha. Great technical counters and lot of near falls that set up a similar position to the first match but Bayley didn't take the hit for Sasha and it cost her the title. While Bayley retained her Title with Sasha's help, she didn't do enough for her so called best friend. ***3/4"

[8.0] "Asuka sellt bereits zum Entrance ihre Knieverletzung aus dem ersten Match, jedoch in einer guten Dosis. Das Bodypartworking beginnt ab der ersten Sekunde. Die Sashas Powerbomb vom Apron war extrem hart ausgeführt und hatte den nötigen Impact und wurde gut gesellt. Generell ein Startschuss für einen richtig guten Schlagabtausch! Schöner Submissionaustausch Richtung Ende mit anschließender Kopie der Eingriffsszene aus dem ersten Match... nur mit anderem Ausgang! Match of the Night"

[9.0] "This was the best match in the Asuka vs. Sasha trilogy. They had big spots and great sequences, and the storytelling was awesome with Bayley not taking the bullet for Sasha and not helping her win the match. Asuka took one hell of a powerbomb to the outside and Sasha's selling is always the best. The only bad thing is that it should've been longer. ****1/4"
