[8.0] "good match here that really helped Tiffy not long before she goes up to main but what a great match here from Becky who comes in with alot of weapons to start its a fun battle with good spots, the4 swantan to the table was beautiful what a fun way to end this great show"
[7.0] "[3.75 Stars] This match is way overrated. It's good, but it lacks the intensity you'd expect from an Extreme Rules match, and above all, it has no business being the main event when you've got Hayes vs. Dragunov as the co-main event."
[9.0] "I have never really got Tiffy but after seeing this match its more her main roster run has been really bad especially compared to this. This match made her a star but also set a standard she has never ever come near meeting since. This is either Tiffy is giving all of what she can do or an insane carry job from Becky because Tiffy has never ever gotten near this again. A really fun brawl. I miss this Becky and I want this version back. I hope Tiffy can get back to this level because she looked fantastic here and took the sick bumps. She has plateaued since this sadly. Her best match that I can't see her getting near anytime soon."
[9.0] "When Becky Lynch is motivated, she'll make you look like a million bucks and that was no different here. It was a lot more violent than the average WWE street fight. To this date it's still the best Tiffany Stratton match I've seen."
[5.0] "The supposedly "brilliant" WWE match producers really can't seem to come up with anything better than just handing weapons to the women and hoping they'll figure something out. Becky Hogan's story continues, and of course she ends up losing her title to her friend instead of to the genuinely talented Tiffany."
[8.0] "This was the match that turned Tiffany Stratton into a star, this was also just a great match between 2 good wrestlers. There were some moments that were dumb, but that didn't ruin the whole match for me."
[8.0] "[4.0*] This match was actually insane. The girls had a very very tough task of following Dragunovs and Melos WWE MOTY and oh god they delivered. The spots were just insane, they went all into the stipulation, and Tiffany is going to main-event WrestleMania someday. Mark my words. Incredible bout."
[8.0] "Measured against my personal expectations, this is a really presentable match. I didn't expect Lynch to do anything other than go at it with doggedness and intensity, but I didn't expect anything like what the challenger is eating up and dishing out here. Even if everything doesn't always look authentic or run smoothly, I can't help but think this match is really good."
[10.0] "A very good extreme rules match. Like most of the WWE's street fight/ER matches, this is not as much as a hardcore match as a way to have original and fun spots and there it works particularly well, even the cornier one (the barbie dolls, the fire extinguisher ...). Becky did a lot to make Tiffany look like a big deal and it works very well. This one has most of this offences with some very nice moves (especially the swanton onto the table). This Lynch's title reign is beginning to look like the best women's reign of the year in WWE - which says a lot about the booking of the women's division in the main roster. 10/10."
[7.0] "(Grade:C+) This match had some good extreme moments, I liked going into the crowd & brawling, Tiffany doing dives on table & breaking both side of the ring announcer area and especially the ending! though at times some stuff were miss like the bag revealed to be barbie dolls like what's wrong with thumbtacks y'all? overall I enjoyed it"
[10.0] "An incredible and insanely fun extreme rules match, definitely the best in Becky's time as NXT Women's Champion and this is the sort of match that Tiffany needed to further her momentum as a future top women's star."
[5.0] "It was very giving of the veteran Stratton to look at the lights for the plucky upstart Becky Lynch. Seriously though, WHY is Becky Lynch not only the NXT women's champion but cleanly beating your future star? Not to mention, as pointed out by another, this was the usual very G rated "extreme" rules match with no blood. No, you don't need blood in every match but if it's called extreme you better not disappoint. All that said, this was a competently performed match and wasn't hard to watch there was just so many things that were questionable."
[9.0] "this was a very solid match between two of the best women's wrestlers in the WWE locker room. stratton gets busted open early on by lynch headbutting her with a hard hat, and while she doesn't get much of a crimson mask (more of a crimson eyeshadow really) it does add just that extra bit of tension and story, paralleling lynch's own hard-way bleeding exploits. what follows is a pretty solid WWE-styled hardcore match, the only real criticisms i have is that it never really finds that upper tier of momentum and the barbie doll spot was pretty silly. i personally think that if you have a black velvet bag full of something dangerous for your opponent to fall on, it should be tacks or glass or at least some legos (if you aren't trying to spend an hour backstage getting international objects pulled out of you). the barbie dolls got zero reaction from the audience, who were already pretty worn down after the men's title match prior, though they did pop for the bigger spots like tables and stratton's handspring onto lynch and through the barricade. good showcase for stratton's athleticism and grit and hopefully a sign of things to come in the WWE women's division."
[9.0] "People, THIS is how you make going into the crowd actually worth it for the people at home. every moment while they made their way through the crowd made use of the environment. Some pretty creative weapons ideas, weapons that I don't think I've seen outside of one of the Dead Rising games. Sadly, most of these creative weapons are also the weakest parts of the match. The construction helmet falls off, the shopping cart charge looked goofy, but the Barbie doll parts spot was still pretty wicked. Even though it's an extreme rules match, we still get to see tons of great wrestling moves and reversals. Overall it's a great balance of brutality, technique, and story telling. I know Foley is Becky's favorite wrestler, and I don't know for sure but I have to imagine he loved this match."
[7.0] "For whatever reason, this match clicked with me. I liked the fight in the crowd, and they used plenty of weapons to keep the stipulation engaging. The match was fun through and through, and Stratton continues to improve. 2024 EDIT: 3.75 Stars."
[8.0] "An absolutely amazing match from beginning to middle to end from both amazing wrestlers. Becky Lynch, who I had always been a fan of and was really happy when she became the face of the WWE Women's division several years back, showed why she is truly one of the greatest women's wrestlers ever. Tiffany looked awesome here too, she has become one of my favorite women's wrestlers to watch every time she steps foot inside the ring, being very solid in-ring and having great chemistry with everyone she works with. I originally didn't agree with Becky becoming the NXT Women's Champion at first, but realistically, Tiffany was never going to hold the belt forever and she eventually had to lose it at one point, which she did a few weeks back before this match took place. The hardcore action really was fantastic and the production and layout of the match really did wonders for making both wrestlers look like the best of the best today. There were many many GREAT women's matches across Pro Wrestling in 2023, and this will go down, at least in my books, as a top 5 women's match of 2023, even their original match where Becky became champion on the NXT episode was really good."
[8.0] "This was more than a championship clash in the main event between a future main event player and one of the company's hallmark assets; this was another monumental platform for Stratton to prove her mettle as a top-class prospect. She showed a clear image of domination majorly, but the 'underdog' mindset of Lynch despite being the titleholder added more weightage to the result. Even though it wasn't that extreme, there were definite moments of entertainable extremity displayed by these lasses. 4 out of 5 stars!"
[6.0] "I really liked the finishing stretch, particularly the last batch of big moves from both wrestlers, however, the majority of it was rather tame for an extreme rules stipulation. Including the dolls as weapons was plain goofy and didn't work in a match that's trying to be serious. 3.25*"
[5.0] "Main event Lynch/Stratton was the usual laughably tame WWE "extreme rules" where nothing extreme occurs and they stumble around doing the odd safe spot with very little wrestling, too much mediocre brawling, all topped off with a predictable and anticlimactic finish."
[9.0] "This match was a ton of fun and it looked like a demolition derby when it was all said and done. I've only seen Tiffany Stratton wrestle a couple of times, but she has a bright future ahead of her. Such a great brawl."
[10.0] "This was a killer match, better even than I expected. Becky Lynch was in extremely fine form, love her in this mode, but Stratton was a real revelation. First time I think I've seen her and she really overdelivered here, took some sick hits and laid out some great looking offense as well. Very bright future for her I think. This was really intense stuff, especially for WWE, a real nonstop fight with some real grit."
[9.0] "OK, I gotta correct myself. This was the match of the night! Which is ironic, because I hate gimmick matches and women's matches in general. To spit further oil into the fire this match had skinny overrated Lynch as one of the athletes which I despise as a character alot. The star of the night is definetely Stratton, which surprised me hugely with her willingness to put her body on the line for several incredible moves, even got her face busted at the very beginning. It was my first time witnessind her inside a WWE ring. There were 2 or 3 obvious miscommunications between these two athletes during the match, but they quickly corrected it, so that's ok. The cringe-worthy scene with the dolls was way too long to bear..let's just ingore that, so we don't have to decrease the rating here. Really a bumper that Tiffany didn't regain her title back, because ego-Lynch needs even more attention in the third brand I guess. Probably we will never witness such a good and fast-paced Extreme Rules match in the Women's Division again."
[8.0] "Tiffany shined in this match and carried a good portion of this match which was surprising.This match had some enjoyable spots and some not so enjoyable imo.The barbie stuff was awful and took away from the match.The final stretch of this match was real good.Just the middle kinda ruined it for me and wasn't any where close to their first match."
[10.0] "My personal favorite match on a very strong show. The comedy plunder spots helped show a lot of the character work that made Becky the star she is today and the character work that will hopefully propel Tiffany Stratton to the top of the women's division in the future."
[8.0] "Just over sixty matches into her young career Straton is still green. However the now veteran Becky was able to help carry this match into a higher rating. The build to this match was a bit quick for my liking but good enough to make sense for extreme rules stipulation. I enjoyed this match for as extreme as WWE can get in 2023. At first I wasn't a fan of the Barbies spot but at the end of the day it is culturally relevant, would truly hurt anyway, and despite not being thumbtacks is the same level as using legos instead of tacks anyway. At the end of the day Straton looked good whether she is called up eventually to the main roster or sticks to NXT like Breaker her loss wont be remembered just more so the match with Becky so it did its job in elevating her being able to keep up with Becky building her resume while taking the loss and getting her more known to a larger audience. If Becky continues to elevate talent during this title reign I will be fine with her keeping the title and giving an eventual push to another rising star when the eventual title drop comes."
[9.0] "A really good main event in what was definitely Stratton's best match of her career thus far. Lynch won the match and she did a great job here, but this was a strong reminder of why Stratton has all the tools necessary to be an absolute star in WWE. She does nothing but improve and I can't wait to see what she does next."
[6.0] "This ended in an intense-enough place, with a few especially impactful spots, but it's really too bad that so much of this match was taken up by what felt like prop comedy skits. Instead of playing with barbies or doing fire extinguisher ambushes, I would have really liked to see these two tell the inexperienced up-and-comer vs. hardened vet story that this rivalry called out for."
[6.0] "To be honest , this was no where near this overall rating. Most of this match was weirdly done until the last few minutes happened which were actually good and that's how it was. Some moves not hitting well , some unnecessary weapons used here. I thought there was no flow , everything felt misppaced in this. But overall a fun match but no where near great and being called best NXT women's match since Bayley vs Sasha. ***"
[3.0] "This was one of the most boring, but at the same time one of the most 'go-go-go' plunder matches I think I've ever seen - they were hitting each other with shit so much and so fast, but because they failed to escalate the tension, by 7-8 minute mark I was already waiting for the finish. I didn't get my wish, instead, this match just kept fucking going. The most interesting thing to me was that Stratton was able to do majority of her high-spots late into the match, which says a lot about her athletic ability, but it's also funny because 'extreme' matches were supposed to be overcoming all the punishment that both wrestlers endured, which wasn't the case here."
[7.0] "Maybe it's unfair for me to rate this, having missed the first half, but the finishing stretch was really quite good. There's always the risk of a match like this coming not too terribly long after the wrestler's previous meeting to feel samey. But the addition of the Extreme Rules stipulation brought a lot of viciousness out of Stratton and Lynch. Stratton has proved herself to be a star holding her own against one of the most popular wrestlers of the past however long Becky Lynch has been doing her thing. So I didn't see the Barbie doll stuff and it seems like people are ragging on that. I liked the somersault Stratton pulled on Lynch through the barricade and the finishing slams on the pile of chairs. It's good to see high profile women wrestlers in matches like this."
[6.0] "The Barbie stuff is classic WWE in the fact they latch on to something huge in pop culture a couple of months after it was in the zeitgeist. Becky remains a huge star as evidenced by the numbers she pulls into NXT viewership but I can't say her work actually justifies it. First time seeing Stratton and she seems fine. This is basically just big spot after big spot without an awful lot of connective tissue but this route is always sensible for greener workers in big spots as hides their limitations better than a normal match would. The WWE audience lapped it up so it works for them."
[8.0] "What I must say is that Becky is really good at performing in matches with special rules, such as this Extreme Rules match, last months steel cage match, and TLC matches, etc., because Beckys own moves are not particularly interesting to watch. Good, especially since she now has a relatively thin body but uses moves that pursue a sense of power. But events with special rules will be very suitable for her performance (just like me in WWE2K lol). She is very good at using props and the environment of the venue. When she came out pushing the shopping cart, she reminded me of Bad Bunny in "Back Lash". Then she threw her opponent into the shopping cart, used the audience's chain as a prop to attack in the auditorium, hid under the ring and used a fire extinguisher, and wrapped her with The wire baseball bat attack (I had to install a mod to use this prop in 2K), and the Barbie dolls on the ring (PG shows cant have thumbtacks, please use Barbie dolls and Lego bricks instead in the future lol), these The bridge sections are all very well designed and make this game very interesting."
[6.0] "Das war ein gutes Match, so viel vorneweg. Vielleicht habe ich schon zu viel gesehen, aber das war eines der softesten Extreme Rules Matches, die ich je gesehen habe. Highlight war der Stacheldraht-Baseballschläger, ungefähr so sehr weh tun dürfte, wie der von Momo Watanabe. Stratton zeigt eine gewisse Athletik, die sehr cool ist und ein paar gute Spots waren dabei. Aber extrem war hier wenig. Auch war es fast schon indymäßig sehr spotlastig. Das Finish fand ich dann wieder gut"
[9.0] "This was so much better than it had any right to be. Going into this, I was skeptical of how Stratton would do in a hardcore match. We saw her matching, even outwrestling Lynch in their first match but this is a different game, this type of match belongs to Lynch, she is great at taking the bumps and using weapons, the ring and everything available at her disposable but Stratton feels more traditional, which is her charm as a wrestler, so I was a bit taken aback by how much she did here, how much she was able to outdo the veteran at times. Stratton mix her savagery with athletic and technical finesse, she was creative, took crazy amount of bumps, she adapted to the situation and made the best of the stipulation. Lynch of course thrives in this type of matches and together they were able to outdo their first match. Creative, cleverly crafted match, excellent pacing, chaotic in your face action, superb spectacular spots. This is what you want in a hardcore match. Great match. ****1/2"
[10.0] "I thought this match was going to suffer because of going on after carmelo vs ilja but wow I was wrong this match was so good both women had great chemistry and there was some great spots in this match I just truly loved this match this was a classic and great women's match. *****"
[8.0] "Becky & Tiffany went all the way in this one. They stopped at nothing, going for the most brutal, physical & painful form of fight. There were a few spots that felt unnecessary, but in sum, it was highly entertaining. Having Becky retain leaves a couple of questions - what's next for Tiffany? And who will be Becky's next challenger on Tuesdays?"
[8.0] "Ein unterhaltsames Extreme Rules Match. Becky hat sich hier am Arm verletzt man sah es auch als sie auf dem Arm schaute. Der Barbed Wire Baseballbat das hatte schon was erwachsenes. Ich gebe ein Match Rating von (***1/2), Das hier war für mich das drittbeste Match."
[9.0] "Tiffany had a star making performance in this match despite her loss. The match started with them brawling in the crowd and then devolved into a match full of weapons.Tiffany's swanton to Becky on the table was amazing. The barbed wire spot looked terrible because it was obvious to everyone it was plastic."
[9.0] "More or less at the level of the previous match, just a little bit "worse". Since the beginning they started brawling and I appreciated that Stratton blended. The biggest huge here is the fact Becky actually didn't use the Barbed wire bat but everything around worked. The best moment was Becky trying to hit Stratton with some barbies and Tiffany protecting herself with a trash can lid. ****1/2"
[9.0] "Really? you are kidding! This match has the potential to become the best match of the year. Up-and-coming Tiffany had taken over the whole race and for the first time performed risky jump moves like this. It was as if we were watching the main event of a Japanese event. Every moment there was a sense of high excitement and great atmosphere of the audience and the desire of these two fighters to win."
[6.0] "This was a mix of some good spots and some silly, weak spots. It just never had the intensity that one would expect from a match like this. A lot of that owes to what WWE will allow during a match so from the start, it's at a disadvantage from most other promotions. The barbed wire bat spot was really bad as it is painfully obvious it was plastic. With that said, the Swanton spots looked really good and props to Tiffany for doing a match like this. Edit: I knew Tiffany was losing the second she had to be told how brass knuckles are supposed to be held."
[8.0] "Most of the match was good stuff for me, except for the stuff involving the Barbie dolls, that just came off as corny. They got really creative as opposed to most WWE plunder matches where they just hit do the same stuff. They started this off fast with the crowd brawling that featured great fire from both of them, and that was great before they slowed it down to set up the stuff they wanted to do in the middle.They hit each other with a bunch of weapons and the coolest looking one was the chained up bat. The back and forth at the end was great, with Tiffany hitting all kinds of athletic moves, before Becky won with a manhandle slam.****"
[8.0] "The main event of No Mercy for the NXT Women's Title between Becky Lynch and Tiffany Stratton. The match started with some decent crowd brawling before settling back toward the ring where it was weapons galore. Chairs, kendo sticks, tools, trash cans, and even Barbie dolls made an appearance in a funny moment. It did get a little slow at times when they were setting things up and figuring out what to do next. If they moved things along a bit quicker it would have made this better. The final five or so minutes improved when it less about hitting each other with weapons and more about big moves. Tiffany hit a swanton on Becky onto a table that somehow bent but didn't break, in what was the best spot of the match. Some great near falls after this until Tiffany went for her moonsault but instead landed on a pile of chairs after Becky moved, which Becky took advantage of by hitting a Manhandle Slam and got the pin to retain the title. Yes, this was a bit sloppy and slow at times, but it was still very enjoyable. Good match. 8/10"
[7.0] "Ich fand dieses Match zu Beginn relativ innovativ, was sich jedoch schnell geändert hat. In kurzer Zeit kam ein ganz normales Hardcore Match dabei heraus. Besonders Stratton zeigte ein paar krasse Highspots . Das Becky Lynch dort alles überstrahlt, ist ein wenig problematisch"
[9.0] "What a great extreme fight between Becky and Tiffany, very good, they did very well and I really liked the way the fight went. I was surprised by the result but I hope they can get something out of here where they push Tiffany because I think she deserves more than a loss here."
[3.0] "Wasn't feeling this match at all. Many of the spots felt sloppy and looked messy throughout. The ''barbed-wire bat'' (which was used once and completely forgotten about) looked so hilariously gimmicked you wouldn't have questioned if I said it was a $5 prop from Party City. There was no flow to the match, everything felt misplaced in this, Tiffany was trying her hardest to make it work but Becky looked terrible in this match. Expected a lot more from these ladies as I really enjoyed their first match."
[8.0] "This was great! a star making performance by Tiffany Stratton. This had some brutal elements, like the spot where Stratton was shoved HARD into the cart. The spot on the barbies was funny. Becky Lynch was stiff but safe throughout and it showed. Tiffany had a strong come back and the table spot was awesome even though it didnt break. A good finish and Tiffany looked strong. Side note: the referee having to tell stratton to turn the brass knucks around was HILARIOUS."
[3.0] "I thought this was sloppy throughout and downright insulting at points too. Most of the offence was unoriginal and screamed classic lazy WWE extreme rules, with both women looking messy in the ring and most of the spots being shoddily done to say the least. then we get to the "barbed wire" bat which was used once and forgotten about. A baffling decision that probably had Terry Funk rolling in his grave."
[6.0] "Tiff sure came dressed for a fight, didn't she? This was like some weird kind of hazing ritual - turn up in your undies & take a perverse amount of abuse for 20 minutes. As a match it was so-so. The opening brawl was great, the toolbox & Barbie business was 100% cringe, there were several mistimings & stutter steps, and in between was a bunch of standard WWE videogame plunder spots ***"
[10.0] "THIS MATCH. Tiffany got the proper view in this match AS SHE SHOULD! She is an incredible and formidable opponent, and clearly that showed in this match against Becky. The spots were amazing, between the trashcan spot where Becky jumped off, the Cannon-Ball through the barricade, the Barbed Wire bat that she attempted to hit Tiffany with, hell, they even went into the crowd! This match from start to finish had my eyes glued to the screen, and it's mostly because we got to really see Becky & Tiffany COOK together. This match had the right winner, the right finish, and hopefully this will continue a good streak for Tiffany Stratton."
[8.0] "Tiffany Stratton ist einfach jetzt von der Ausstrahlung her ein absoluter Superstar und hat damit vielen im Main Roster etwas voraus. Und dieses Match hat noch mehr dazu beigetragen, richtig heftige Performance. Becky weiß, wie man seine Gegner gut darstellt. Sehr schönes Hardcore Match mit guten Spots und tollem Storystelling. Würdiger Main Event."
[8.0] "A really good match this. Now I know its an extreme rules match and by AEWs standard it just a regular match. But for wwe it was fairly extreme. This is what people need to learn and not base their opinion on a match based off other companys work. Because you cant compare the 2 as they both have different ways of doing Extreme. Wwe has done extreme like this for years and in my opinion I felt like this was a lot more extreme than other wwe matches. I thought they both worked really well. And some of the spots were great. Would definitely recommend checking this out. Like I said dont go into the match expecting a blood thirsty crawl to finish. Just go in with the expectation of weapons being used. People apparently forget that wwe is a major company compared to AEW. Hence the viewing figures. AEW caters to an older demographic thats why they can do more extreme. Wwe is a more widespread audience. Its like movies are rating differently. Youre not gonna expect saw level gore in a PG are you. So just think of it like that. Because people dont complain at fight scenes in films when theres no blood in a PG."
[4.0] "I really don't like these types of matches. WWE's "extreme" matches are just so subdued and "family friendly" that there is absolutely no reason to even have them. The weapons (if you could even call them that) in this match were laughable. Commentary is hyping up a "barbed wire bat" that is so gimmicked that it looks like someone bought it from Spirit Halloween for their child's costume. And yet, with all of this stuff, both women STILL GOT HURT! Tiffany was bleeding out of her head early on in the match, and Becky got a cut so deep that it exposed her subcutaneous tissue -- how is that even possible? The most "extreme" thing in the match was a trashcan and a table bump! And on top of all of that, the pacing of this match is just dreadful; there is no "flow" to the match, so it just feels like they are going through the motions of an obviously rigidly planned out match. Although, I must say, the match DID fortunately begin to pick up in it's final sequence, so I think that saves it from being an outright "bad" match, since it did have SOME redeemable qualities."
[9.0] "There was a little bit of silliness in this match (with the Barbie doll parts in the bag) & it didn't flow as well as their first match, but that's what often happens with "Extreme Rules" matches, especially when they involved inexperienced participants like Tiffany. Despite that, Becky & Tiffany brought the violence & it was, at times, pretty glorious. Some of the shots were particularly nasty & I loved the swanton on the table. I hope Becky's elbow is OK, she seemed to be favoring it a little bit during the match. Can't wait to see what's next for Tiffany, I wouldn't be surprised if she gets called up soon."
[10.0] "One of the best women's title matches in NXT history, Tiffany and Becky kicked ass, and the crowd was hot for the match, The Swanton to the table from Tiffany was fantastic. The ending was awesome. I think Becky winning was the right choice, she can help more wrestlers in the division just like she did for Tiffany tonight, I thought the Barbie spot was hilarious, and I don't understand the hate for the spot, I don't understand thinking Tiffany is buried after two excellent matches just because she lost."
[8.0] "This match was very, very good. I think that the shortcomings I have about WWE being scared to have a little colour, especially for women is the biggest gripe I had for this match. I think that it would have been amazing to see how high on the Muta scale we can push these women, alas. These are the games we play. This match had some points where it could have benefited from more stuff laying around for them already setup, as I found it dragged on at points. In spite of this, the match was sensational. Every single plaudit that Tiff is getting is deserved. Would love her bossing it in Japan, especially against one Suzu Suzuki, but I think thats a pipe dream. Sensational graps"
[8.0] "Very fun match and surprisingly hard hitting. Didnt expect Tiffany to take a beating like that and take some big risks but she did. Getting busted open in the opening minutes and pulling off a Swanton from the top to the outside through a table was insane for someone like her. Wasnt a fan of the weird Barbie doll bag thing and the noticeably fake barbed wire bat that was barely used lol but besides that this match was very fun and a blast to sit through. Tiffany is clearly going to be the next great female star for at least the next decade and Becky still has plenty left in the tank. 4/5"
[4.0] "Wildly surprised by the praise the match got, as by the minute 15 of the match I thought everything about this had sucked. Hamstrung by the WWE formula of brawling/hardcore matches, the first 15 minutes were them just doing bad brawling all over the place, hitting each with weapons with no time to sell the impact and moving from one spot to another without letting things flow. The part where Becky starts throwing Barbie dolls to Stratton is specially bad. The last minute was where the good looking spots appeared and by then the actual crowd was responing to the actual moves Tiffany has a great future, but this match was not the prrof of that. I just kept thinking this would have been better if it was a normal singles match."
[4.0] "The match has a million things I don't like about it. The main issue is that like so many of these matches, there is absolutely nothing organic or natural about it. It's just two wrestlers running through a clearly rehearsed series of high-spots one at a time. All selling is just in-between stuff while someone sets up the next spot, 90% of which was a hokey WWE weapon spot. It doesn't feel like a fight, it doesn't feel like a wild, chaotic brawl, instead it feels like a very santiized, play-acting performance with awkard action sequences I can see why people are high on Stratton, she has a great look and is clearly a very good athlete. However I didn't really learn anything about her in the match, I have no idea if she can think on her feet, if she can really sell and tell a story through her selling and emotions, or if she can have a structured match that doesn't involve just moving from one high spot to another. The thing is, that might not matter. If you can just do a smoke-and-mirrors street fight on the PPVs and get praised by many people, it kind of doesn't matter if you lack some traditional basics. The standard is low and WWE has convinced people that this a proper, entertaining way to present wrestling, even if people like me don't like it Stratton also stands out in contrast to Becky, who suffers from all the lousiness that hamstrung the match, but lacks the athleticism of Stratton to stand out doing any of the spots. She looked old and creaky here."
[9.0] "Very great match from start to end. Becky has a special connection with the crowd, they've been popping every move and chanting made this match better. I would give this match a 10 If they used real barbed wire bat and thumbtacks not barbie body pieces (it's pretty funny tho) and bled more but this is good enough for a WWE match. Becky really is the GOAT, case closed. Before this feud Tiffany's reign was meh but Becky elevated this title, delivered 2 instant bangers and finally women main evented a ppv again. The swanton to the table spot is very incredible."
[10.0] "Tiffany doing what she did with Lyra not only wrestling the greatest match of the night , but probably of her whole career. I'm a big Tiffany fan , she's athletic and can go. Becky is good too and she found good wrestling with Tiffany , this is Miles better than their fantastic first match. Some people think that Tiffany looks robotic. Tiffany looks awkward and no impact , do you think that matters , Tiffany isn't a brutal wrestler , I personally think the barbie stuff is fantastic. Their first match was incredible but both women showed out."
[5.0] "I really don't get the little IWC/twitter hype for Tiffany Stratton, sure she is athletic but that's all. Every of her swantons, moonsaults or should I say top rope moves look like 2K moves, picture perfect in term of movement but they have literally no impact. Everything she does between grapples take me out of her matches and same thing for this one, in the sense of everything look robotic. The spot outside the ring where she does a tons of flips to land on the barricade was beyond stupid, it literally slows her and gives her no strength to land on Becky when she could have simply ran for a way more impactful result, those kind of spots are the reason why most of today's matches feel fake and way too choreographed especially when this was an extreme rules match so supposedly a brawl to make a feud seems more realistic."
[9.0] "THIS IS AWESOME! This electrifying encounter marked not only the second-best match of the night but etched itself into the annals of WWE history. The collision of two stellar female talents, showcasing their prowess in an extreme rules showdown, elevated this bout to legendary status. The liberating freedom they embraced infused the match with an epic quality, leaving an indelible impression on fans. Tiffany's extraordinary performance foreshadows an incredibly promising future in the world of WWE."
[10.0] "Tiffany and Becky put all their talent into this match; they truly don't tire of delivering us very good matches lately, and they are really putting the women's division on the map, not just in NXT but in the entire women's division. Every moment was frenetic, a very well-constructed match with excellently executed false finishes. I have no complaints, only that I hope Stratton moves up to the main roster soon because she has nothing left to prove in the developmental territory. Tiffany truly deserves more praise. I can't believe how little time she's been in the industry, and she's already a natural. She really put her body on the line to deliver an excellent match that justified being the main event of the night. On the other hand, Becky recently had a contender for MOTY with Trish Stratus, and now she's giving us another one; she's on fire."
[8.0] "I think a lot of people went into this match with very low expectations considering the sort of meta-nature of this match leading up to it, but it delivered very well despite the the underwhelming circumstances and predictability of the finish, Tiffany Stratton did a great job showing that she is worthy of being on the main roster and being a champion, the camera work was spectacular for this match even higher than the usual big standard for shows under the WWE umbrella, the only downsides to this match is Becky Lynch going over in a predictable fashion and the lack of blood despite the reference to Cactus Jack and using a toy barbed wire bat in the match."
[9.0] "There were some baits like the Barbies and the Barbwire Bat (that Becky ended up using I think by accident), but they still had a really good match to end the show, and a great way of HBK showing he had the best women's division (tied with IMPACT's) in America, Tiffany once again showed she is the future of WWE, and while some may think Becky should've lost, I'm fine with her winning because I think Lyra is going to beat her, Tiffany lost but still won at the end, after DEADL1NE she should get called up"
[8.0] "Similar to Ilja/Carmelo, I feel I preferred their first match a bit more despite giving it the same rating. This started off a little too wacky I felt early considering the stipulation. The match got progressively better at least and heated up with both taking some punishment, especially Tiffany between some rough falls to the floor. Tiffany looked good again going toe to toe with a former WM main eventer and it is pretty impressive to think that she has been doing this for about two years. Satisfying way to close the show. Tiffany also 2/2 in brawl style matches between this one and her Lights Out match with Wendy Choo last year. 7.5-8"
[9.0] "Tiffany Stratton is now a star. Incredible stuff against Becky Lynch, who I think injured her elbow in trying to fend her off with all the weapons usage. This reminded me a lot of Becky's Evolution match with Charlotte Flair - Stratton is a lot like Flair, but smoother in her movements, and this can be something revisited later when Tiffany gains even more traction. The only things stopping me giving this a full 10 were coming right after Ilja vs. Melo, and also the announcement that Tegan Nox will face the winner on RAW this week, which suggested Lynch rather than Stratton."
[9.0] "Tiffany and Becky having the match of the night (aside from Dragunov and Carmello obviously). They did some spots that some men wouldn't do. Tiffany is better than some women of the main roster and doesn't need the NXT title to shine, hoping to see her soon in the main roster. Sometimes the momentum of the match kinda disappeared but aside from that it as a really good and enjoyable match, pairing up a legend like Becky and a rising star like Tiffany as absolutely the right call, hopefully Becky drops the title soon to another up and comer."
[10.0] "An amazing match and a great finale to a great event. It somewhat suffers compared to the previous match on the card and it's not quite as good as Becky and Tiffany's first match but those are small quibbles when you still have an amazing match like this one. Becky and Tiffany have already shown themselves to have amazing chemistry (chemistry usually reserved for wrestlers that have battled for years) and it fucking ignites in this match. You can easily tell that Becky is a great wrestler just by looking at her small botch early in the match. She goes to headbutt Tiffany with a hard hat on but the hat falls off before she could make contact. She almost instantly picks it up and headbutts her multiple times with the hat before throwing it to the crowd. A lesser wrestler would have stood like a deer in the headlights but not Becky. She's a GOAT and Tiffany is guaranteed to be a GOAT too."
[9.0] "Felt like this match was set up to fail after following Ilja vs Carmelo, but it completely blew me away. I'm not a regulars NXT watcher currently but I'm stunned by the fact that Tiffany Stratton has only been wrestling 2 years. She already has a ton of talent and charisma and showed here she can absolutely stand toe to toe with a top level talent. Match really picked up the pace in the second half. Nothing too crazy spot wise in terms of weaponry but the intensity of both wrestlers made everything stand out nonetheless. I get why Becky retained, but I feel like I might have liked it more if she lost? Great match either way."
[10.0] "Absolutely unreal. Gripping from front to back. Two absolute powerhouse talents at the top of their game delivering an extreme rules match of the ages. Brilliant demonstrations of in ring psychology, especially from Becky (the use of the fire hydrant was genius), but it was Tiffany who really took this match to another level. Her spots were so well executed, especially the two back to back swanton bombs, that I genuinely thought she deserved a win (and this is coming from a Becky Lynch mark). Match of the night, and maybe my match of the year."
