[3.0] "A bad match between both men with very weak and dragged out in ring work and chemistry between each other, it moved at a boring pace and the crowd was mostly dead after the pure entertainment spectacle that was Usos Vs New Day HIAC."
[5.0] "it's just to damn long and it drags and honestly nothing exciting happens in the match. It isn't a bad match at all but this belongs on smackdown. 17 minutes on a ppv that had much more exciting things on it is not the way to go. Plus there's no story at all to this coming into it. Rusev should've won this match plain and simple orton did not need to win this match loosing it wouldn't have harmed him at all. Rusev is just a few months from being probably the most over guy on smackdown right with aj styles because this is just the start to rusev day but it is about to take off. Eh match 2.50 stars"
[6.0] "Rusev's booking was always an issue, guy would look like a monster against midcard guys but when he'd face anyone up the card he'd end up losing and it tended to be in matches which were never as great as his potential suggested. This was another feud that didn't do much for him but I did quite like this match"
[5.0] "Viel Liebe für die "Rusev Day"-Chants, aber ebenselbiger wird hier nicht gefeiert. Recht gewöhnliche Action mit einer durchaus ordentlichen Schlussphase."
[5.0] "Not one of Orton's most motivated performances. Following the squash at SummerSlam, this was the attempt to work the competitive match that audiences were robbed of at SummerSlam, but it lacked real heat and the result was never in doubt. Rusev Day would come not long after at least."
