[3.0] "Nothing memorable whatsoever. Both of these wrestlers are, in theory, better than this. As "just a match" as "just a match" gets, in a way that doesn't really inspire commentary on it one way or the other. Can't dunk on it for being bad, can't praise it for being good, just in the limbo of wrestling that I saw once and will never think about ever again."
[6.0] "Solides Match.Das war besser als ich es erwartet habe.Anna mit einer recht guten Leistung und Shida ist eh immer gut, mit 9 Minuten auch genügend Zeit. ***"
[8.0] "A very good match out of nowhere. Anna Jay still is green after all these years (she's still to hesitant on her offense) but despite that they had a hard fought contest that's better than what we usually get out of the division, especially without the nonsense of outside interference and stuff that's been plaguing it recently."
[6.0] "A solid match here and a good win for Shida, even with the weird referee count towards the end. With Shida's win, I also thought Jay had a nice showing here. I'm wondering if AEW has any big plans with her, especially considering the promo she cut earlier in the show."
[4.0] "I did not enjoy this much. Some of the early sequences did not look good, the back breaker from Shida looked more like it missed, and the spot where Jay evaded Shida launching over the chair on the outside wasnt botched but didn't look good. For me, Jay needs to go on excursion or something, I just find her incredibly boring, her PIP spots feel the same, and sometimes I feel like some of her moves are in slow motion. A decent ending sequence and Shida looking decent for the most part (and watching that Hogan-Blue match on Collision made me feel bad for being so harsh on this match originally) made me go for a 4/10."
[8.0] "This was a nice surprise of a match. These two main evented Dynamite last year and it was a bad match so I didn't have high hopes for this but it way overdelivered. The guy commenting below me and people Twitter are trying to make a fuss about Shida not kicking out for some reason. Her shoulder was clearly all the way up for part of the count so I don't know what they're smoking."
[8.0] "This was actually quite good. I did not expect it from Anna Jay who traded some hard hits with Shida and made her mouth bleed a bit, which always looks cool."
[6.0] "The story of Anna Jay having slightly longer matches with Shida over the years is a coherent and well-communicated one. And from an in-ring perspective, it's impressive that Anna Jay can now do a near-10 min TV match and not look out of place. There were moments in this match that felt/looked snug and aggressive, which is a welcome change for Anna Jay especially. Paul Turner's false three-count did seem like a bit of a botch, which is a shame because it distracted from the last couple of minutes (which actually featured some fun wrestling sequences)."
[3.0] "[2.0*] The match was very simple and not that exciting, Shida was good, the moment when Anna Jay slaps her in the face and she reacts extremely aggressively was cool but everything else was boring. I hope Anna Jay can evolve as a wrestler since she has a good look."
[5.0] "i always like seeing Shida, but Jay is not an interesting opponent for her. I think they knew this match was never in doubt, since it felt completely phoned in."
[6.0] "A fine match that let Shida get a somewhat competitive win without looking too weak. Nothing notable besides how Shida will always be over with the crowd. 6/10"
[5.0] "A fine enough back in the saddle win for Shida with good fire, but Anna really seems to have plateaued. She's been good in more stip-heavy matches but hasn't really been getting the ring time (even factoring dark matches in) to get her out of this post-JAS rut."
[7.0] "A very good match between the two of them, probably the best match Anna Jay had since that tag match on Rampage with Tay Conti against Penelope Ford and The Bunny, Shida is solid as usual and the match had good chemistry between the two... until referee Ball Burner ruined it by miscounting a clear three count and being unable to improvise on the act, possibly building towards a rematch or a program between the two, actually doing something different instead of just following protocol, that downgrades the match a little bit for me, but it was pretty good."
