[5.0] "Another match where Dalton Castle feels shackled by The Boys, they really do not look that good here and it is a shame because the overall match formula kind of worked, it was just let down by two sub-par workers. The Embassy won in the shortest match on the card, a fine watch and The Embassy looked good as dominating heels, but there was just not that much to this one."

[4.0] "Don't mind Castle but it's abundantly obvious the Boy with the red hair is useless and a one man / boy botch factory. Toa Liona seemed to think the same, he throws him out the ring immediately after the pin fall. Glad GoA are being pushed a little, they could do the same with Cage. Not far off a walkover here and nothing to get excited about."

[3.0] "I didnt expect much of this match, but sadly it was worst that ive imagined. Full of botches and with zero chemistry between the teams and with his inner members. Dalton Castle even looked weaker than ever before: Really dissapointing show from both teams. [*1/2]"

[6.0] "This was fun for what it was, but I'm still not a huge fan of Castle's in-ring work. This Embassy trio is cool, though, as they're just three big dudes that can absolutely tear through the 6-Man Tag Team Division. Putting the titles on them was definitely the right choice, in my opinion."

[7.0] "This was a pretty good match that honestly going into I had low expectations for. Everybody played their role perfectly and with 6 men being able to tag in and out throughout the match they kept the pace pretty fast and nobody looked slow or sluggish and of course, I am a little biased seeing Brian Cage win a title but overall this was a solid showing."

[6.0] "That was pretty fun. Everybody knew that Castle and the Boys would have taken the loss, but they did well for make think the contrary. The Embassy looked cool in the process. That was maybe used as a cool-down bout, but that fulfilled its promises."

[6.0] "I enjoyed the match, and everyone in it put on a good performance individually, but something about the interactions between the teams made it somehow less than the sum of its parts. Still, a fun match, and I hope the straps can help the Embassy find a niche in the AEW/RoH landscape."
Prince Osborne wrote on 15.12.2022:
[6.0] "Dalton Castle is a complete package of an entertainer who needs to be presented on prime screening frequently. He has all the tools in the world to bring such an energy which made his Boys look better than before. The Boys showed a lot of guts here against the beefy trio in The Embassy. Brian's resurrection benefits so well under the ROH banner than AEW as well as Kaun & Liona as a cohesive duo. All three men represent the category of powerhouses and justified really well. Prince Nana's presence adds a lot as well. Embassy winning was expected as much as I wanted Dalton to shine, but he's the clear competition to any of the opponents. 3 out of 5 stars!"

PavelDragunov wrote on 12.12.2022:
[7.0] "A real battle and I was surprised that the Boys were able to fight back and tried in every way to outshine everyone and steal the match in their favor. Of course, the big guys showed themselves cool on a power scale, but they still couldn't do without help. Prince Nana made the match less clean and it's sad. In general, it's cool that there was something to see, it's good that it wasn't squash."
Roderick II wrote on 12.12.2022:
[6.0] "This was fine and mostly fun with two very entertaining but contrasting acts in confront. It did however suffer a bit from the babyface's comeback feeling a bit too formulaic and easy. Castle is strong, obviously, but him suplexing these dudes should still feel like a big deal and heel just didn't seem to be putting a lot of resistence."

[6.0] "This was a pretty fun match, although at times was weird, as I felt not everyone was on the same page at times. It's interesting to see what next for Dalton. I wasn't a big ROH fan before, but even I know he's a recognizable face of ROH. Match was pretty solid overall. **3/4"
GoldLiger wrote on 11.12.2022:
[6.0] "The win The Embassy needed to stay relevant but man I hope Castle gets to have a presence in the new ROH. This match gave The Boys way more shine than I expected, but that's a good thing since the Tates have come into their own as a team over the years of Boydom. Castle can't work at the pace he once did before he broke his back but his insane charisma and strong athletic basis let him cover that way better than most could; sending the Boys as dive missiles so that he doesn't need to do a dive himself is such an excellent spot. Cage is starting to get repetitive in this current run, Liona is fine as a big dude but not exceptional, and I like Kaun but he didn't really get much chance to shine here. Still, Prince Nana on PPV in 2022 is a great thing. Fun filler match to move the belts onto a stable they want to push. ***"

[5.0] "Nothing special here, Dalton and the Boys didn't really get to do as much of their schtick as normal, and the Embassy are generic and average, making for a pretty average match overall."
KingsCrossing wrote on 11.12.2022:
[6.0] "Pretty fun match. The Embassy looked better here than they ever have in AEW. Toa has good energy and some explosive offence and Kaun's Alabama Slam looked great. Dalton always brings some extra life to any match that he is part of, and I enjoyed the series of suplexes he landed on his larger opponents. Entertaining midcard fare that didn't outstay its welcome."

[5.0] "An okay six man tag title match but ultimately it doesn't exceed any expectations. Personality doesn't carry this past average."

[5.0] "This was silly and fun. Castle looked great- I'd love for him to be a little less silly because he can really work. For a six man, this had very little burying of the referee, but plenty lying down outside the ring. I have come to accept this is not a match type for me. Also, there's a point in trying to execute something where you should give up. "Don't do shit you don't know how to do" said Dusty all those years ago. I'm not a wrestler so I don't know but there's an art to making a botch work for you that makes things look more real. It's also the point where if you keep trying it looks really fake. Just fall down and roll out of the ring. Anyway I was sports entertained by most of this."

[8.0] "I actually thought this was very fun, Dalton Castle looked like a million bucks and he came up with some really creative trio offense with The Boys, I'd definitely say the right guys won regardless because The Embassy is a lot of fun to watch as well. Everyone looked really solid here, there was one point in the match where one of the members of Gates of Agony (I forget which one lol) almost botched a double throwoff, but he managed to land it. It was a good mix of power moves and speedy tandem offense, just a very solid very fun match. *3.75*"

[7.0] "This was quite a bit of fun. Dalton's gimmick rules, and this had more structure than a lot of trios tag matches tend to. Not quite understanding the low ratings on this one. ***1/2"

[5.0] "Okay but I didn't really care at all, not a fan of Castle or Cage, and didn't see enough to hold a major opinion on the tag teams they were partnered with. Not terrible by any means but a low point on a great show."
Rocky7 wrote on 11.12.2022:
[5.0] "It existed, and The Embassy won the ROH Six Man Belts. Saw this as a cool down from what came before and what was to come, it just didn't grab me at all. Probably made sense for the title switch so that Cage, Kaun and Liona aren't seen as complete losers."
