[7.0] "A great way to open the show. This battle royal was one of the best AEW has done in 2020. I really liked the connection with the feuds and that aided in the story telling . Nothing crazy or something that would add suspense to the match . I liked how the Inner Circle played the sly heels by staying at one side the whole match until the final 4. I also liked the intensity between Scorpio Sky and Shawn Spears. Other than that, the team work of Reynolds, Silver and Hangman however the early elimination of Hangman just made him look weak since he is supposed to be the probable AEW world champion within a year or so. I loved the exchange between Miro and Wardlow because that was really hard hitting . The elimination of Guevara and Jungle Boy and their sequence at the apron was very fascinating stuff. OC coming at the end and surprisingly eliminating Wardlow and almost eliminating MJF was the cherry on the top . A lot more could be done but one hell of an opener. ***1/2"

[9.0] "I'm a sucker for a good battle royal and this was a great one, very well booked and some great action included. I was salivating at all the different options in the final group of guys. MJF/Orange should be very fun."

[7.0] "I think this is about as good as an upper mid card battle royal can get. I don't get the inclusion of Lee Johnson because he's still winless and probably would have put Brandon Cutler in his place since he's getting pushed on Dark. Also, Hager, Archer, Kingston, Luchasaurus, PAC, and Cage were all conspicuously absent, probably because they wanted Miro to be THE dominant singular force in the ring, but I think it did cheapen the match a little. The finish was good and sets up a good match where MJF defends the ring against Cassidy."

[7.0] "This was a dun battle royal. A little bit of drama between the Inner Circle. Cassidy getting the spotlight again and Miro finally shined inside the AEW ring for the first time. ***1/2"

[6.0] "This was a very simple and enjoyable battle royal, with some good action and the right continuation of each storyline. The only thing I didn't get is why Matt Hardy should eliminate Isiah Kassidy at the beginning."

[6.0] "Actually a good battle royal. I enjoyed the ending sequence between Sammy/Jungle Boy a lot. The winners make sense, but I wish it was MJF/Wardlow or MJF/Sammy, but I was satisfied"
Joyfulwaffle wrote on 03.12.2020:
[7.0] "Actually a very solid Battle Royal, probably the best in AEW's history from a storytelling standpoint. The in ring action was't anything incredible aside from the Sammy/Jungle Boy exchange but it was the best Miro has looked since joining AEW, furthered the possibility of Hangman joining the DO, and it helped build the tensions between the Inner Circle and specifically MJF/Wardlow and MJF/Guevara."

[8.0] "No idea why folks are rating this so low. This was the best Battle Royale AEW has done. Entertaining, SUPER clear and specific beats between different angles/eliminations. Lot of really great moments, like Hangman + Dark Order starting a fight with Matt Hardy and Private Party, huge hosses slapping the big meaty meat out of each other, the crazy fight on the apron with Jungle Boy and Sammy, the entire ending... it's good stuff!"

[4.0] "Somewhat messy Battle Royale with fun if unmemorable spots. Enjoyed Orange Cassidy sandbagging in the corner more than anything happening in the match. Lacking in the storytelling department, no attempt to make any of it make sense in context simply a reel of disconnected moments to push other stories."

[5.0] "I think these matches always kind of suck but they're not overly offensive. This one, I think, would have been quite a bit better if it had ended with the Jungle Boy elimination. The Orange Cassidy bit gave me ending fatigue and I'm honestly getting quite sick of seeing him in big matches."
Matt Macks wrote on 03.12.2020:
[4.0] "They are doing too many things at the same time in battle royals and this time was no different. Also, either nobody tells the commentators what storyline to focus on or nobody gives a crap, because all three were lost at several points during this match (and the whole show, really), missing story developments or talking over them. The tease of Wardlow throwing out MJF (not the miscommunication, but earlier when he stood behind him and Guevara) was nice. Miro had some nice focus on him. Matt Hardy is a mess at this point, seemingly switching characters faster than Big Show in the 2000s -- all years of them. In the end it was good enough to set up next week's match between OC and MJF and get some guys on TV, but overall it was a mess. They need to find a way to do battle royals were less than 10 people are in the ring at all times."

[8.0] "This is the best Battle Royal AEW have done till now. A lot of storylines involved. Miro looked great. Sammy and Jungle Boy had a great sequence on the ropes. Wardlow looked great. Fans were really behind Orange Cassidy."
OtherPeople wrote on 03.12.2020:
[8.0] "The Battle Royale did a lot of work. Miro looked great. Is it a trope of "monster established in Battle Royale by eliminating a lot of under and midcarders? " Yes. Does it prevent me from enjoying Miro looking like a monster after his debut was a bit of "failure to launch"? Nah. Hangman falls further into the grips of the Dark Order, MJF has shown full discord among the Inner Circle, Wardlow is officially the smartest wrestler in the world, and Matt "Those Teeth" Hardy is making me want to see him get beaten up (but for the love good Matt no bumps above the ground unless it's in the ring)."

[6.0] "It was actually a really good battle Royale but the concept of setting up a future 1 v 1 match is honestly pretty disappointing because no one wants a match without a winnner. Still did a good job advancing stories and it had some good action."

[6.0] "Very standard battle royal match, with some fun moments and a breakneck pace. Not exactly essential viewing but not bad."

[7.0] "Very easy watching battle royal, nothing incredible, no RoyalRumble92 references or what, but in its semplicity, one of the nicest br ever saw by me. All the feuds were continued and nice spots were done."
