[6.0] "[3.0*] Another good Kofi match. Was not as good as the Ivar one but was still very compelling. I am loving this new Drew McIntyre and I just hope he does not job to Cody. Kofi should get this weekly bangers forever lol I am loving it. I am happy Kofi is getting his flowers."
[6.0] "I enjoyed this match , Kofi and Drew put up a good match when they're in the ring with each other , Xavier was also entertaining at ringside. The problem was the ending , Ivar distracting took away from the match . Drew is a good heel , I feel like he's better as a heel , he comes of as more cool and shows more charisma. Kofi is very underrated, and if given a chance he can put on a great match. The stuff before the finish is good , and a nice showcase on what these men can do."
[7.0] "A veterans' match. You can feel the grit and the experience of both men while they were going at it. Pretty nice back and forth action, good storytelling with the involvement of Ivar and Drew leaving the New Day to be attacked. It was cool to see Kofi using the Fameouser, it gave some depth to the match by making Kofi innovate to try to beat Drew. Pretty good match and the slowly cooked heel turn of McIntyre is interesting (*** 1/2)"
[6.0] "I enjoyed the match, good stuff, but the interference from Ivar was a little unnecessary. I understand that McIntyre heel turn seems to be around the corner, and honestly, could be great for him, but this shenanigans for his matches don't work for me, the guy is good enough to win his matches without any of these. ***1/4."
[7.0] "Good match. Fun little tv match and there was a lot of character work, a lot of storytelling here. With regards to the action, they worked hard, unloaded much of their arsenal, the flow of the match was nice, the nearfalls were thrilling although I didn't doubt that Drew would win. At the end, when the Viking Raiders attacked Xavier, as Kofi was concerned about his partner, I loved how the big man shoved Kofi for the claymore, Drew cared more about winning, showing the heel tendencies he has begun to have in the past weeks which was a really nice touch. Drew has been quite stale as a character for some time now but with this heel tease, he has become a lot more interesting than he has in the past two years. And he isn't going full heel, its a slow peeling of the onion and hopefully the payoff is great. ***3/4"
[7.0] "A solid match as always from these two. Kofi Kingston is getting to remind everyone how good he is which is great in my books. Drew McIntyre with the heel tendacies at the moment is very interesting. Drew bumped around for Kofi too and i popped for Kofi using the fame asser now Dolph is gone."
[8.0] "Another instance of McIntyre facing a New Day member in an entertaining match. I'm really enjoying the new heel direction McIntyre is going in, and I still really hope he feuds with Cody Rhodes soon. I think the two of them could put on an awesome match. As for this one, Kingston had a good showing while also making McIntyre look really strong. Good stuff here."
[8.0] "A solid match, very solid. Kofi Kingston is one of the best Workers in WWE today, since returning from injury he shows day after day that he loves the sport. The way they are preparing Drew McIntyre's heel turn is simply being done very well! I believe it will be an All timer hell turn, for real."
[5.0] "Das war schon ein ganz gutes Match, aber ich seh da nicht, wie sich das von einem durchschnittlichen Wochenshowmatch abhebt. Kingston hat versucht, ein bisschen kreativ zu sein, es war auch wirklich nicht schlecht gemacht von beiden, aber reichlich unspannend und meiner Meinung nach nicht wirklich sehenswert."
[6.0] "It was a good fight. The wrestlers showed their basic techniques, although Kofi even tried to bring something new. But overall it was poorly executed in places. And their meeting itself is inferior to their fight from the year before last. Here the pace sagged, and there was no intrigue as such. Not bad, but we know they can do better."
[5.0] "A basic match that ran a few minutes too long. Drew did his typical moveset without full-on heeling yet, but it's all a part of the build, so I can't complain too much. I think once he's fully settled in to the heel role he'll be a monster, but for now, we're teetering on the line without anything interesting happening, and we'll probably be there for a few more weeks. Drew still feels off, and isn't presented like the main event player he is despite literally being in the main event last week. I can chalk it up to mediocre character work for now in hopes that he'll become more consistant or find his footing if/when the heel turn happens. The pre-match Miz TV segment hinting at a Cody feud was pretty good. I think likening Drew to Batman is a smart way of giving the audience some idea of what to expect from the character, but I don't know if he's being presented as strong as he could be in terms of presence and motivation. Drew mentioning continuity with the Bloodline story, again, was great."
[8.0] "Match of the night so far, this version of Drew is growing on me week by week and the post match made the story they are telling much more interesting now. Speaking of the bout itself, it was hard hitting by Drew's side and athletic and rich of cool moves by Kofi. The Alabama Slam on the apron was absolutely brutal and the finish, like I said before, was very clever."
[7.0] "A good match between Kofi and Drew. Nothing exceptionnal but some nice exchange between two experienced wrestlers. The crowd is involved for this and Xavier's interventions are well placed. The ending is another distraction finish with Ivar attacking Woods but it helps furthering the story of Drews not wanting to help anybody and taking profits of these attacks to get wins. 7/10."
[8.0] "Drew McIntyre before his match with Kofi Kingston was showing no remorse as he's slow building to the long awaited heel turn. Kofi Kingston back to back weeks with good singles matches as he been showing he still got it. Drew McIntyre was hitting harder than usual and was showing flashes of the Scottish Psychopath. Drew McIntyre won with a Claymore and The Viking Raiders was demolishing Kofi Kingston in the ring as he did last week he left Kofi Kingston to get beaten up and went to the back, Drew McIntyre heel run is gonna be amazing I can't wait to see what he does we all know Cody Rhodes is gonna be his first feud back as heel and it's gonna rock out."
