[4.0] "Today we also know that at this point Drew Gulak has fallen out of favor thanks to Ronda Rousey. And then you put the current Intercontinental Champion alongside this most hopeless of all WWE performers? I guess you might as well pee on the belt in front of the cameras. The match is still relatively okay because none of them are bad performers. But they're not allowed to show anything."
[4.0] "There was disappointingly very little to this. These four could undoubtedly have an excellent tag together, and while I understand that wasn't the goal here I still think there could have been more to this than there was. I did think Kaiser looked good for what little we saw here, and would like to see him do more on SD."
[4.0] "In another place we would have probably seen a very cool match, but on SmackDown everything turned out pretty sterile and stifling. For some reason, Gunther was afraid of Ricochet, and Ludwig Kaiser coped with all the difficulties and achieved victory alone. Very strange character booking of characters."
"Una molt bona baralla, sempre és un plaer veure lluitar a Gunther i m'agrada molt com estan planejant tot per al futur poder veure un "Ricochet vs Gunther""
[4.0] "Not a bad match, but I feel like it was hurt with the commercial break. I really liked how strong they made Kaiser and GUNTHER look, but man, Ricochet did NOT do much in this match. Was mainly just Gulak getting squashed. [**]"
[6.0] "A good display of the former Imperium as a team, and a main roster introduction to Ludwig Kaiser, seems inevitable that Gunther will win the Intercontinental Title from Ricochet."
[5.0] "Das Match war kurz, hat aber Spaß gemacht. War tatsächlich eher ein Showcase-Match für Barthel / Kaiser, der auch den Sieg einfahren durfte. ** 3/4"
[6.0] "One of the few storylines that are developing and continuing that still don't take any direction, there could be some title fight between Ricochet and Gunther, so at least it would give some relevance to the Intercontinental Championship, that since they don't fight for it on PPV that at least it would be on a SmackDown show."
