[5.0] "this show was pretty much promo drivin cenas was good but it's now 2 weeks in a row so lets hope its not every week till summerslam.. edge and rollins was done perfect built to the match short and sweet to the point.. reggie has migrated to sd taking the joke of a belt with him and yes he can flip doesn't mean he can wrestle the 6 man was typical wwe throw a bunch of guys together include ic champ guy pins ic champ guys gets title match rinse and repeat booking so try harder or try at all guys.. nice touch with dom dipping into a heel act to win hinting at a heel turn down the line maybe.. sashas back and the heel turn seen from a million miles away but the ss match should be good and the contract signing.. a bit of an overbooked mess to get to a match everyone knew was going to take place and finn getting to corbin in a match the unfortunalty could go either way with how they booked balor last time around.. so this had some good points some average ones and some poor ones.. so a little bit for everyone"

[7.0] "The wrestling was ok for the most part but the angles were what mattered here. You have Cena vs. Reigns made official, Edge vs. Rollins all but official, and Banks returning to set up her rematch. This was the heavy lifting show that Summerslam has been needing and now we should have most of the Smackdown half set. The matches look good too, so hopefully they can live up to the hype."

"4. 0 Writing was AWFUL. Entitled overage frat boy Cena steals Balors title match? Heelish. Corbin interrupts a huge center ring promo because he is broke, ED, and depressed so he? crosses Cena and wants to fight REIGNS? If he is gonna backstab and be a face, why not Crews? Why were Ziegler and Roode in the six man? Big E, having won the briefcase renews his battle for? the IC title? The 24 7 title is for real now? Reginald is a heel, but Reggie is a face? Balor wants Corbin? I would want Cena. Bianca trusted Banks? Duh. Seth was cool but other than that they would have been better off announcing the PPV matches with no storylines at all."

[7.0] "The show was very good thanks to John Cena, Roman Reigns and Edge/Rollins as well as the satisfactory matches."

[5.0] "I gave it a 5 only because most of the matches were too short. Even though it didn't get the time it should have my favorite match was the 6-man tag. Especially because it seems like it's leading to King Nakamura going for the Intercontinental title. Reginald needs more than just the 24/7 title or they need to give it some legitimacy and more time for actual matches because that guy is crazy athletic."

"Talk, talk, talk. That's all they ever do on this show. Always watch it on the DVR so I can see the matches, which this week was well under half an hour. You'd think they only have 10 people cleared to wrestle every week."

[7.0] "A good show, but I question the legality of John Cena signing a match contract that was drawn up for someone else. If I'm Finn Bálor, I'd be incredibly pissed off at him right now. Good stuff elsewhere, and a great return and heel turn by Sasha Banks. Only disappointment was not following up on Toni Storm's debut last week, but I guess she'll be used sporadically until after SummerSlam."

[9.0] "I really enjoyed this episode. Cena? s opening promo was great, I liked the contract signing, the Rollins promo was good but the Becky chants make me miss the Thunderdome a little bit, I think it? s cool that they? re trying to legitimize the 24/7 title by having actual matches for it, and it gives Alpha Academy something to do until SmackDown gets a face champion for Otis to challenge. All the matches were pretty good, I especially enjoyed Rey vs Jimmy. 9/10 for me, hope they keep it up as they build for SummerSlam."

[7.0] "A pretty good episode, and a clear step up from last week's unusual circumstances. Banks returning will bolster a pretty thin women's division. The contract signing was weird, but Corbin almost signing the contract popped me. Not sure why Balor was brought into this though. All the matches were good, even the incredibly brief 24/7 match. Cena's opening promo was fun. Just a consistent, entertaining show."

[7.0] "Solid, easy to digest episode that helped set up more stuff for Summerslam. The opening promo by Cena was great, and while the contract signing might rub some the wrong way, I liked it. The matches were all okay, not bad. We also had Edge/Rollins basically get cemented for Summerslam, as well as Sasha/Belair 2. This episode was in the 6-7 range for me."
