[5.0] "[2.5*] Match was decent, post-match angle was excellent. As I just evaluate the matches here, I give it a 5/10, but the Kaiser turn was just fucking incredible."
[6.0] "Fine match but it was more about Imperium kicking Vinci out for losing the match. In ring action was solid but was completely overshadowed by the post-match angle."
[4.0] "This match was incredibly boring and we've already seen it for months at this point. Just here to put another win in the New Day's column. It was mostly Imperium on top for most of the match, working on Kofi, then a hot tag from Woods, then Imperium working on him until the finish with the New Day going over."
[7.0] "Good match between these teams, but the thing that mattered was the end of it, I thought Gunther would turn but Ludwig did but not too surprising."
[5.0] "They always put on an easy-to-watch match with some cool moves here and there and this wasnt any exception and Kaiser turning on Gio in a bloody brutal attack really was the icing on the cake, although Im worried for Vincis future in the wwe."
[6.0] "Well, my biggest fear turned into a reality when I least expected it, and I don't understand why. I don't get why breaking up one of the best stables in the world, at least in terms of what they could actually do. I don't get why they never actually tried doing something with Vinci and Kaiser aside from being jobbers for other teams and Gunther's rivals of the moment, I don't get why they never actually tried to make Vinci look good like Kaiser had that chance. They just simply didn't care for them and they just used them as a plot device to put over Gunther's opponents, nothing else. And that's plain bullshit, because both Vinci and Kaiser, both individually and as a team, are great. At least I hope Vinci doesn't get fired and gets sent to NXT to have a decent run with his luxury gimmick or something. Now, about the match itself and despite the fact New Day has been stale for years and this is the 942th time they faced Vinci and Kaiser, it was a really good match and the four men killed it in the ring. Nice pacing, good spots, a very entertaining and dynamic match. And while I hate the break up, I must recognize Ludwig Kaiser is a master of the post-match assault. This was just like that time he killed Kofi, the same brutality and impact. Man, that dropkick to Vinci into the steps was so cool and it looked painful AF. Good match, great post-match assault, but one hell of a mistake taking Vinci out of Imperium and one of the worst things Triple H has done ever (*** 1/4)"
[6.0] "During the promo leading up to this, Xavier cried "but we've fought so many times! " and he was right. Credit where it's due, this was still quite fun, but this is ultimately just a vehicle for Imperium self-explosion more than anything else"
[6.0] "A solid match, but nothing particularly special. They've definitely had better matches against each other, but this wasn't bad or anything. I will say that I'm not the biggest fan of Kaiser turning on Vinci. I'm assuming this is leading into Kaiser being a singles guy. I don't dislike Kaiser whatsoever, but I just don't have a strong desire to see a singles run from him. Hopefully he proves me wrong, though."
[5.0] "Another just decent match on this card in my opinion. Nothing bad or anything. What happened after the match is what will be more remembered. **3/4"
[6.0] "New Day Vs. Imperium honestly is kind of stale to me but this match gets bonus points for the really good segments before and after with New Day and Gunther going at it and the implosion of Imperium. I hope Gunther gets to wrestle on TV soon though."
"The match itself was good like any other imperium and new day match. These guys are some of the best and it shows in the match. They had some pretty slow spots throughout the match and the commercial breaks didn't do this match any justice. If anything it slowed it down too much. Overall a match that has it's highs and lows but generally a good match. Sadly this match will always be overshadowed by what happened after it."
[6.0] "This was solid and probably would've been much better without the weird promo before. The after-math was weird. The actual beat-down was great, but within minutes they made a surprise betrayal extremely predictable. The decision is great for Ludwig Kaiser. Vinci on the other hand as a singles wrestler just isn't WWE material, but I'm hoping for the best."
[6.0] "Another strong tag team match to continue a solid start to Monday Night Raw. Imperium are one of the best tag teams on the planet and The New Day is obviously an all-time great unit. The events that transpired after the bout were incredible and understandably stole the show as far as this match was concerned, but the bout itself was expectedly good. 3.25 stars, 6.5 out of 10."
[8.0] "The match was good: nothing bad, but nothing special either. But after the match Ludwig kicked Giovani out of the Imperium. This beating was wonderful. And GUNTHER's reaction to this is also quite interesting. Well, now we are waiting for a new member of the Imperium. Giovani will most likely return on the NXT, I hope he will prove himself solo there and win the North American Championship as a minimum. The match itself is 6/10, but the actions after the match deserve 8/10."
[6.0] "This match was on TV so often that you can't even distinguish them. Granted, both teams work well in the ring, but we've already had enough of this feud. After what happened post-match, I'm intrigued by Imperium's storyline. Now that Kaiser has turned on Vinci, it will be interesting to see how it affects all three superstars."
[7.0] "At first, I was somewhat cooler on this match. These teams had a banger of a program to start the year that ended definitively in Imperium's favor. Running this back now seemed to make little sense and the wrestling reflected that - it was solid enough but nothing more than perfunctory given that these lads have already thrown everything at each other. Then, the camera lingered on Kaiser and Vinci and something seemed primed to happen. The betrayal was effective and executed very well. Bumped the whole thing up a notch in my eyes. Vinci versus Kaiser will cook. Also, I liked the reminder that Xavier Woods was recently King of the Ring, which WWE seemed to forget about very quickly. That dude stays underrated and can work well with anybody."
