[6.0] "Fine match. I felt like the first 3/4 was quite slow and not incredibly entertaining, but the ending really picked up and partially made up for it. In my opinion, this wasn't as good their matchup at Wrestle Kingdom earlier this year. ***1/4"

[8.0] "I thought this was a great match. Since their last encounter at Wrestle Kingdom 9, Tetsuya Naito went on excursion to Mexico. As an in ring wrestler, he didn't need it but it was clear he needed a character change after the fans didn't take to him as a top babyface on the level of Okada or Tanahashi. Thanks to his time in Mexico and hanging out with La Sombra and Los Ingobernables, he developed his heel persona filled with tranquillo. This was the 3rd and last match that he would have with AJ Styles and while it was the weakest of the three, it was still high quality. This wasn't as flashy as Naito's previous performances as he wanted to keep things a bit more grounded and try to fight AJ as opposed to flying around the ring a lot like he would have before. It even landed him the win when AJ went for the Bloody Sunday and Naito countered it into the Destino. ****"

[9.0] "a particular main event, many shots but also a lot of psychology. Naito rebranding himself same "tranquilo" heel, he spits in the face of Aj Styles, who has many positive chants from the crowd. The spot on the apron ring is the omg moment of the match, Naito also tries to get a submission win but AJ goes all out and Naito uses Destino. Great storytelling"

[8.0] "This was different from their other matches, as Naito worked this as a heel, and AJ worked as a babyface here. Naito worked this great as a heel and was able to get the people behind AJ. The best moment was when Naito spat in AJ's face at the end.****"

[7.0] "This is a really good match. Naito focuses on Styles' leg until he hits a neckbreaker on the apron, then targets his neck from there on out. Naito felt in control the whole time, playing the heel and getting the crowd behind AJ's spurts of offense."

[8.0] "Excellent match. AJ Styles was the babyface in this one and Naito's heelwork is unmatched. This was close to being a 9 as I was very impressed by their chemistry and how fluid the match was"

[8.0] "This is good. So good. Naito is such a piece of shit that he gets the crowd entirely behind AJ Styles. Do you know how good you have to be to do that? ****"

[7.0] "Pretty good for the most part, Naito was such a disrespectful shithead that it got the crowd behind AJ of all people ***1/2."

[8.0] "This was Naito's best match at this point in his new LIJ persona. Of course it would be hard for these two to have a below good match, but Naito still stepped it up by proving he still has the work rate down."
