[7.0] "Such a fun match for the tag division at the time, it's unbelievable they didn't even got 10 minutes, man. New Day got so good with the comedic timing and crowd interaction and the team of Cesaro and Kidd was some fantastic. Cesaro is the clear MVP, the run he was in at the time period of 2014-16 is inhuman, if that was a sports league you would get him doing drug tests every single week. Kidd and Kofi were moving on another level and that Trouble in Paradise into the Sharpshooter was pretty smooth. Big E doesn't fall behind either, he showed so much power and came out so strong of this match. Stealing the victory was fitting for them, but I'm not sure if I am a fan of the whole managers thing. Either way, great match."

[8.0] "The moment when The New Day turns heel is very good, and it's the best way to make them demonstrate their value as one of the best tag team of those years. (8/10)"

[8.0] "I gave this match a 3.75 star rating and it has a 3.8 star average on GRAPPL. I like to keep that 8/10 rating and above somewhat sacred, but this is closer to an 8/10 than it is to a 7. Tyson Kidd's run was cut sadly quite short, so bonus point for being a quality piece of his portfolio."

[7.0] "A tad too short though still a really good tag title match. I would have preferred Kidd and Cesaro keeping the belts longer than a month but I can't really be mad at New Day as champs. The spot where Cesaro caught Kofi out of the air and spun him around into a backbreaker was incredible."

[7.0] "Good title match between two great teams here who didn't have much time to build something perfectly structured but still delivered something very fun in only nine minutes, it was literally impossible to get bored because it was super well paced and there was no down time. I'm not sure if making Cesaro & Kidd lose the titles at this point was the best choice as I would have liked the rivalry to continue with the New Day chasing the titles but honestly they were so hot at the time that I can understand why the company decided to award Big E, Kofi & Xavier that night. Then considering how good the match was it's hard to complain about anything, all I would have liked is a few more minutes but the content was still very interesting and exciting to watch. Kidd is truly one of the most underrated Canadian wrestlers ever, his performance here was masterful and for me it was the best of the match even if everyone was great here. Not a big fan of the roll-up ending though because a match like that deserved a good finish, but overall I liked it."

[8.0] "This was about as good as a 10-minute match gets. Both of these teams delivered tremendous performances in a fast-paced, high-octane sprint to the finish line. Tyson Kidd and Cesaro were a ridiculously talented tag team that could've reached a Hall of Fame level of résumé and performance together, and The New Day have obviously become household names. Together, they made tag team magic. I wish the match were longer, but that's just a testament to how good these two teams were. 4 stars, 8/10."

[9.0] "This match made the entire show of Extreme Rules, honestly, and it wasn't even a stipulation match. Both teams go at it like crazy in front of a crowd that's been dying to go crazy for a match, and the whole atmosphere allows the double turn for the teams to be seamless. Big E is a cannonball, Tyson is a dynamo, and the chemistry between Cesaro and Kofi is astounding. Not to mention the little extra that Natalya and Xavier being at ringside gave. The finish solidified the double turn, and despite being under 10 minutes, the match was just full of action and storytelling and crowd interaction."

[7.0] "Good tag team title match, especially when you look at the state of the tag team devision, Cesaro and Tyson were great and dragged the match up in terms of actual wrestling quality and new day played there roles to perfection and xavier woods was gold at ringside and they dragged up the entertainment quality so overall a very good tag match and one of the best for the title since 2/3 falls usos vs wyatts. Very good and well worth watching. ***3/4"

[8.0] "Great tag team match! Fast-paced action, lots of nice moves, reversals and counters. I liked how brutal some moments in the match were to show that there's no love between these two teams. The crowd reaction was superb. Overall, a sweet Championship match for the current state of WWE Tag Team division."

[8.0] "This match kind of came out of nowhere, as it appeared that the Lucha Dragon were headed towards the title match. But with New Day getting shit on post Mania and the decision to run with them as heels, along with the champions getting more face reactions as of late, we ended up here. New Day has worked well into their new role, including the shady way that they won their way into this match. They worked a solid match early on, better action early than the Sheamus vs. Ziggler match and the crowd responded well to what they were doing. They really picked up when Cesaro ran wild on his hot tag, and then they picked up the action really well and not only was this extremely enjoyable but this crowd got very invested in the near falls. The champions appeared to have the match won, but Woods distracted the ref, it broke down with Nataklya attacking him and then Kidd laying him out, but Big E took out Kidd and Kofi scored the roll up (UGH) with the tights to win the titles. I don’t mind the finish because it makes sense for New Day and the way that they have been and likely will be winning matches. But if they are going to do that, why not do a different finish for the match before this? With that being said, they had a good match here and the crowd was invested into what they did, which made it such a fun match to watch."

[8.0] "A good fast paced (for WWE) match, the power spots with Cesaro/Big E were entertaining, Xavier did good on the outside. Did'nt expect the finish but it makes sense, Cesaro/Kidd (face) would be better chasing the gold than the heels (Kofi/Big E/Woods). Hoping for some good matches between both teams down the line, maybe even involving (Kalisto/Sin Cara & Diego/Fernando)."

[8.0] "Well this was pretty damn awesome. Easily the best tag team championship match in the WWE in a while. And the best thing is that nobody really expected this match to be so awesome. Great, quick paced match with a lot of memorable moments such as "The Swiss Superman" Cesaro catching Big E mid air. Unbelievable. Great match. ***1/2."
