[0.0] "The smackdown women's division is really bad right now but it will never reach the level of how bad it was here. Ronda forgot how to wrestle and Shotzi won't help with that. It got too little time, but honestly, I'm glad it ended so fast."
[3.0] "It was going good until the botch happened. I think the way Ronda was shown here made sense. As an outsider heel who can't wrestle the style of pro wrestling and can't do more that 10 minutes. Pair her with a crazy babyface striker, that was a smart choice."
[4.0] "I was very tired of Ronda back then being giving another unneeded title reign in Smackdown, plus her opponent is Shotzi who is not credible to be taken seriously, but the in ring action is not that horrible as those folks claimed to be, outside that awful DDT spot from Shotzi. For me, it is just a bad filler feud and match, but I have been still seen several worse matches than this. [*3/4]"
[2.0] "Not a single living soul expected Shotzi to win this, but at least she put in an appealingly gutsy showing. Beyond that this was a weirdly sloppy and blandly forgettable bout. Ronda and Shotzi didn't have much in the way of natural chemistry, and large swaths of the match lacked momentum as a result. It didn't help at all that the crowd clearly didn't have much interest in it. This might well be Ronda's worst WWE PPV match, and it's largely because she seemed so off her game, rather than Shotzi being relatively green. Shotzi was certainly trying, but there's only so much to be done when two wrestlers are fundamentally mismatched. The only not-good match on the card at least, and it was short to boot. *"
[3.0] "I'm talking as someone who didn't follow the storyline during that time, I just watched the match: it was killed by the crowd. Shotzi botched that apron DDT and definetely lost the fans attention but the match per se was not that bad until the final humiliation by Ronda. Even though the part with Ronda trashtalking was annoying. To me this is a 3.5"
[0.0] "This match between Ronda who doesn't care and Shotzi who was far from ready to ever be in the world title picture was just downright terrible, the in ring action was over so sloppy, all the shenanigans outside the ring with them and Shayna was bad and that botched DDT on the apron was laughably awful."
[1.0] "this disgusting filthy waste of time match should have not been anywhere near a ppv match. Theres not one single good thing to say about this match or one single good spot in this entire match. Just disgusting wasting filth. The apron ddt is one of the most sloppiest spots ive ever seen. And the spot into the crowd with the plants looked goofy as shit. 1 star. Guys never watch this"
[5.0] "I dont know why this match is getting such bad ratings. Ok Shotzi isnt great but she was in there to job to Rhonda in a semi competitive match to keep others contenders strong for the time being. Decent semi squash match that did what it needed to do."
[3.0] "The only damp squib on an otherwise amazing card. If it wasn't for this, Survivor Series 2022 would've gone down in history as the best Survivor Series since the famous card two decades prior. With it, it falls somewhat short."
[2.0] "Oh boi, that had no right to be good. Shotzi is awful in the ring and watching her hopping around in there just looks silly. The fact that she's even leveled with Ronda for the most of the match lacks logic itself and the amount of botches here is outstanding. Plus there's this Crossbody bollocks with some plants that looks bad also and is just insulting at this point."
[1.0] "This had all the ingredients to be the anti-banger. A Ronda Rousey that doesn't give a damn about wrestling and has lost all the star power she once had, a zero talented botching wrestler in Shotzi, a lame story of "bullies vs bullied trying to fight them" badly sold. The only good thing in this match is it wasn't so long and, despite what I've said about Ronda, her wrestling ability is still there. (1/2 *)"
[0.0] "this shit was so bad LMAO who thought it would be a good idea to put shotzi in a title match? she can't work for shit, fr like one of the worst in ring talents on the main roster today."
[3.0] "Although the winner was obvious from the start, I was still very excited for Shotzi to get a title shot on a major PLE like Survivor Series...but, then, the match happened. I just don't know what happened here. I feel like these two are capable of putting on a solid match against each other, but something was just off in this match. The only memorable part of his match was Shotzi's dive into the fans. I think this match could have benefitted from having a little more time, but Ronda's just been having a lot of very meh matches since her return. At the time of this event, her only good matches since returning were against Charlotte at WrestleMania Backlash and against Natalya at Money in the Bank, but even her MITB match wasn't good by much. This was just disappointing, especially if you're a fan of either, or both, of the women in this match."
[2.0] "Just bad wrestling and terribile moves. Ronda Is not a very good wrestler and to do a 6+ level match She needs people like Charlotte or others at hers level. Unfortunately Shotzi Is not at this level and they pulled up a terribile wrestling match. I hope Shotzi Will improve. *1/4"
[2.0] "A bad match done by a halfway decent worker in Shotzi. And Ronda is improving in the ring. But this was a match that would've been better suited for TV rather than a Pay Per View."
[0.0] "Legitimately the worst match I've seen this year. Triple H is gonna have to do a serious repair job on the Smackdown women's division. Boring, sloppy, nothing match. The only entertaining bit was the non-bump Ronda took on the apron and Shotzi falling on her ass, one of the funniest things I've seen all year. Giant Gonzalez would be proud. *-3*"
"Underworked and incredibly shoddy, especially when we consider that they brought in a specialist producer, Brian Kendrick, just to set up this match. Be it chemistry, or timing or whatever, the end result remains the same. The match was incredibly poor."
[2.0] "Spanish shame is when you feel a little embarrassed for something you don't do. Here are the emotions. DDT at the corner of the ring was executed poorly, the jump into the fake audience was visible (predicted) at the very beginning. The fighters had zero chemistry. And of course, no normal style exchange procedure was also on the horizon. Only a lot of absurdity and unprofessionalism."
[6.0] "What? It's not that bad at all...Shotzi is likeable and has a lot of strengths, Ronda's reign has been well booked...this was fine! Just a breezy watch, doesn't drag at all...flat finish but eh not that bad"
[5.0] "This match is not as bad as most people make out, and yes there were botches, including one big one, but it was fine. The big spot over the ring barrier into the audience was pretty cool. The main problem was it never felt at any point like Shotzi was gonna win here. These two have looked way worse, including recently. If I were to rewatch this event I wouldn't skip this but you're not missing anything if you do."
[2.0] "The singular star is because of Shotzi's efforts to give a decent bout against Rousey who's presenting herself as a despicable villain with lost interest unlike her debutant days. There were a couple of cool moments for the challenger, but it didn't garner the support needed from the fans as well as the ability to pull off an upset. Rousey felt like a low tier wrestler here unfortunately by neglecting most of Shotzi's offense especially the DDT debacle. I hope we could see fresh challenges that could bring the fire in Rousey & produce solid bouts, or else Shayna should be the one to dethrone her with ease. 1 out of 5 stars!"
[6.0] "I don't understand the overall rating. What's the point of making a match last if a wrestler is built much stronger. Might as well just have a condensed and properly executed action."
[2.0] "Yeah, this sucked. Rousey did some cool judo stuff, but everything else she did looked awkward and unnatural, and that apron bump was ungodly levels of terrible. This still could have been salvaged to be a mediocre match, as Shotzi was very good throughout. But they only went seven minutes and ended with an instant tap-out, without building to the finish at all. Awful stuff. *"
[4.0] "I don't think this was as bad as a lot of people are making out but it certainly was not good either. Well below the quality of what a PPV championship match should be really."
[1.0] "My expectations for this match were low and they somehow managed to go below it despite this being kept short . Nothing in this looked good, that botched DDT on the ring apron was really bad and commentary trying to cover up for it was hilarious. Hey at least Ronda had a cool looking judo throw in this match, but other than that this was pretty dreadful to watch.1/2*"
[3.0] "Fucking sloppy, Shotzi is terrible and Ronda just does not care anymore, this had potential to be good but all we got was a terrible showing for both women."
[4.0] "This wasn't a good match, but the performers put in the work, and there were some good moments. Moreover, this served the purpose of continuing to build Rousey up."
[2.0] "This match was the perfect match for a bathroom break or make a cup of tea during. Ronda Rousey is actually so dreadful it is beginning to feed onto the Smackdown division where it is become tainted by her presence. I feel so sorry for Shotzi for even attempting to carry Rousey lousy ass. This is my quickest rating because literally the review itself from others explanation why this was trash."
[6.0] "Ronda is not a great in ring worker but is one of the few people in the WWE who understands her role as a heel. She is not meant to be likable, she is not meant to do cool stuff and she acts like a killer. Wrestling would be better with more people who had her attitude. The camera cuts in this meant it was difficult to catch some of the moves but also hid a lot of botches. To be fair that is consistent throughout WWE, the poor lads running botch accounts on social media do not seem to understand the reason you see less in WWE is because of the camera cuts. I enjoyed this well enough, it is easily the best thing on the show so far as I was never bored. Not sure why people thought ending was anti climatic, the story is that Shotzi was levels below Rondas level, Ronda *should* easily walk through everything Shozti had and beat her easily."
[4.0] "I thought the match was better than most, and honestly better than I expected. Ronda is genuinely terrible in the ring and it was Shotzi doing everything she could to make this passable."
[2.0] "I thought Shotzi put forth a really solid effort, but this one just did not click. The biggest spot of the match was a misfire and it ultimately became another example of how the Ronda Rousey experiment has not worked out this time around. I do not dislike Rousey, but this was not it.+"
[1.0] "Shotzi tried to have a 'babyface goes 200% effort and speed in order to beat up a bully heel' match, and she was exposed as a very limited pro-wrestler. I'm not talking about botches that I think everyone saw by now on GIFs - all of her attempts to sell urgency and fire just fell flat. Rousey was a good bully heel, but this match was supposed to be about Shotzi and she looked like a total loser after she tapped out, on top of a very bad individual performance."
[3.0] "Not a good match. Shotzi and Rousey had no feel like Shotzi would be a threat and the match was sloppy and botch filled. The dive spot was actually interesting but other than that nothing in this match stood out to me."
[1.0] "I don't rate either Rousey or Shotzi. Shotzi's always been incredibly inadequate in the ring, whereas Rousey has always been given the opportunity, especially with her name-power, but has always failed to deliver when asked to."
[1.0] "a disastrous match. there was zero chemistry between these women. Shotzi tried her best but Ronda was shit as usual. the Sasha chants sum it up completely. they need to let this Ronda project go."
[6.0] "I don't understand the low ratings. It was just an average match, it was even better than expected IMO. Shotzi did a good job and Ronda looked as ruthless as usual. The only problem was the anticlimactic finish."
[4.0] "This could've been a 5/6 however this was of course a pay-per-view match that was defending a large title. The spot where they went outside into the audience was interesting, however the actual match was just a bunch of boring moves and submissions from the previous UFC fighter Ronda Rousey. The ending was anti-climactic, and predictable."
[6.0] "As usual with Ronda matches, far from being as bad as made out to be. Ronda did some nice work targetting different body parts but being too confident, Shotzi went on the attack culminating with the spots in the fans, then Ronda brought it home."
[3.0] "Terrible match, Ronda seems checked out or uninterested, Shotzi cannot carry a match and the only good part of this was Shayna at ringside. Dear god this was bad."
[1.0] "Shotzi dominated Ronda AND Shayna without any external help, only to be beaten in the most possible anticlimactic way. Right, it wasn't a squash, but unfortunately I think it should've been one. I just can't buy Shotzi as a threat to Ronda, but that's booking of course, she's pretty decent as a wrestler. On the other hand, it's concerning to see that Ronda is actually getting worse and worse, and the company has no plans to lower her from that pedestal."
[0.0] "Objectively one of the worst matches of the year. Shotzi has yet to prove that she is a competent wrestler, and the former UFC Champion has been a disappointment. The pace of the match was akin to a snail's, not to mention the significant number of botches in this match. When you look around at the world of wrestling to see what women's wrestling has to potential to be, and then you look at this, it's clear to see that WWE is lightyears behind. A seven minute match that felt like it lasted double. The Boston crowd turned on the match almost immediately and started chanting "We want Sasha". This should've been a quick and decisive victory for a former combat sports champion, not this."
[1.0] "HORRENDOUS MATCH! I will give only one point out of respect to Shotzi, who tried, really tried and showed a better performance here than in MITB. But Ronda is just BORING. She barely wrestles, she just does a couple of very simple moves and submissions, she has no charisma or skill in the ring, she generates no charm or hate and she doesn't give a shit about the Smackdown Women's Title. Absolutely insulting that she is the champion, and at the same time a sad display of how incredibly weak the women's division is there. *"
