Alexa Bliss & Asuka vs. Dakota Kai & IYO SKY

[8.0] "This was a surprisingly great tag team match. I didn't think it would be as good as it was but it was actually stellar. Great tag team action and both teams definitely have chemistry."

[7.0] "Having Trish Stratus at the beggining of the match was nice, but totally nonsense. I undertand the expectances behind HHHs new regime, but lets calm down a little bit. Now, the match was pretty nice, and thats not pretty common in the WWE womens tag division. Both teams looked great, with innovative offense, and with an end that protects everyone on the battle. Pretty satisfactory match. [***3/4]"

[6.0] "Eh... Not good but not bad by any means. Asuka & Alexa Bliss teaming up feels so random but it's not much of a problem."

[6.0] "This was pretty decent. The finish was meh as it would have been nice for Dakota Kai and IYO SKY to get a clean win. (I'm not a fan of the heels have to win with screwy bs thought as there are other ways to get heat.)I would have rather seen Alexa Bliss take the pin. The parts that I enjoyed the most of the match was the IYO SKY vs Asuka parts of the match. It was a satisfactory opener and I hope they consider doing Asuka vs IYO SKY at some point, because that would rock!"

[7.0] "At first, the girls accelerated for a long time, but the middle of the match was very intense and tough. The intrigue in the course of the action came and I even believed in the opposite result. The punches were beautiful, and the girls were charged to win. By the end, somehow the girls got confused and were no longer so confident in the fight, Asuka did not see the relay passing at all one step away from herself. In any case, this is the best tournament match so far."

[9.0] "I cannot remember the last time the women in WWE were given this much time in a tag. Things slowed a little when Bliss entered the fray, but the Io/Asuka sequences more than made up for it."

[7.0] "This was a very solid tag match but i just didn't care for the finish but it was still a good mathc. ***1/2"

[7.0] "Solid opener, nothing really special but a good way to advance storyline for six man tag for the PLE. Asuka stole the show, she has been one of the most over women for her whole WWE career."

[4.0] "Io, Dakota and Asuka were trying their best but Bliss slows everything down. Then even those ladies fell apart at the end when it seemed like Dakota and Asuka forgot how the finish was supposed to go. They needed to work this out on house shows before going to tv."

[7.0] "A slow starting match leading to a good middle and a great ending. Pretty obvious winners but it was fun. Maybe a smidge too long!"

[5.0] "Not the biggest fan of either sets of wrestlers. The match went on for far too long and became monotonous towards the end."

[8.0] "The sequence between Asuka & Iyo Sky is really good and we feel that WWE is trying to protect this poster. Dakota Kai does a great job selling this fight, I really liked it. Alexa Bliss doesn't have much to do here, she totally looks the part."

[8.0] "Great tag match here, all 4 women putting a great shift in and it ended up being a great bout. My MVP for this match would be Asuka, as I ended up finding her offence most entertaining."

[7.0] "A pretty good fight, overall it was entertaining and with a time that, although it was full of advertising, had enough time to develop a good fight, the end was a bit strange with that pinroll, but good."

[9.0] "fire match, surprised it has below an 8 rn. had me on my toes & thinking it was gonna end multiple times. great form on the roll up always helps to sell the end too. loved this"

[8.0] "maybe my favorite match of the night. dakota, io & asuka were on fire. so many cool spots and moves. the only weak link was alexa bliss. she's really terrible but they used her well enough."

[7.0] "Despite a few misfires, these two teams gave a nice preview of what's in store for the Cardiff PPV. Alexa did a great showing after a while whereas the other three were very good too. I'm glad that the women get ample time to show out good shots of wrestling and this match stood out as a leading example of hitting the right chord and developing a well structured contest. The result was obvious but the way of arriving to it was great. 3.5 out of 5 stars!"

[7.0] "Good win for Damage CTRL, with Asuka choking out the wrong member, allowing IYO SKY to get the pin. Would be very surprised if SKY and Dakota Kai don't win the titles now given who's remaining."

[7.0] "good tag team match, probably best match of Alexa's WWE career and Dakota's probably too. Alexa was showing things I didn't know existed. Asuka was good, Io was fun. The "wrestler didn't saw the tag being made in a tag match is mehmehmeh" but it was done ok here"

[5.0] "A match of ups and downs. There were quite a few unexpected miscues from Asuka, I don't know what her performance level has been like for the last 4 years, but this was probably the worst I've seen her, maybe it was just an off night, she did have a very nice segment with Io though and I definitely want to see them go 1 on 1 down the line. Much of Alexa Bliss' offense looked really low impact and she doesn't suit the babyface role at all, she came across completely unnatural. Io showed her usual charisma and was easily the most crisp with her offense and also did an amazing sell job from a Bliss DDT. In the end, Io got an inconspicuous tag, Asuka tapped out Dakota so believed she'd won, despite the ref screaming that she wasn't the legal woman, so Io rolled her up for the 3. That finish didn't do Asuka any favours and Bliss really should have been the pin eater in this match, but at least the right team won."

[8.0] "Great action and great character work from all 4 women, in a nearly 20 minute match that gave all of them time to shine. There were a few sloppy moments and the ending wasn't great, but overall this was the match of the tournament so far, and one of the best women's tag matches in WWE for a long time. Also of note, the commentary team gave the action time to breathe rather than spouting constant inanities."

[5.0] "An average WWE women's match. I don't like any of the wrestlers here except Asuka, she's is always entertaining."

[8.0] "While sloppy at points, this was a damn solid tag match. Iyo and Asuka's interactions were definitely the highlights, but all four women got moments to shine here. There were some good false finishes, good tag psychology, and while the finish wasn't great, it gave the faces an out for it being a "fluke" win. I know for a lot of people on here one botch or ounce of sloppiness equals garbage, but I enjoyed the match and was happy to see it receive so much time. Crowd was dead for a lot of it though which sucks. [***3/4]"
