[6.0] "It was a light fun show, so easy to follow without having to go so big, except for the US Title match. Kinda reminded me to the old 2006-07 shows were you just tuned in to have some fun and not care that much for how appropiate this or that storyline was being booked or this match was good or bad. With that being said, there were some issues in this episode. Since we had a very good US Title Match, I don't care for the fact the other matches were so short, but the Karl Anderson match was a waste of time. If they were going for it, they should've given it more time, maybe just 3 or 4 minutes, but it didn't add nothing to the storyline. Cameron Grimes is horribly booked since arriving to the Main Roster. Hardcore fans know how good is in the ring, although he never was a wrestler someone thought he was among the best in the world, but he had something in NXT that got him really over with the crowd and it was something you need to get over with casual fans, and that's a gimmick, and they should have booked him with promos or segment showcasing his "rich southern boy" gimmick, not having him out for weeks and returning to job in a match. The Women's division, although is not as bad as it was last year, is so boring right now. Full of huge names and they do nothing interesting with them. Asuka just keeps turning Face and Heel each week like she has a Big Show complex or something, Charlotte is constantly on autopilot mode, and Damage CTRL are just there, with a story that it doesn't seem to take off. Then, moving to the good parts of the show, The Bloodline story is nowhere near the quality it had before WrestleMania, but tonight they booked it really well, with Jimmy Uso growing his confidence so much that he thinks that because "he is Bloodline again" he can do whatever he wants, and he starts a rampage along with Solo, who just cares about destroying humans that ends with LA Knight joining John Cena to stop them. That, along with the US Title match were the best parts of the show."

[5.0] "generally, I don't enjoy WWE weekly shows lately, especially Smackdown! in the past 2 months, it seems like there's a major problem in the booking, and I believe that most of you have felt it. cold matches, repetitive promos, a bit pointless stories, etc. to me, it sounds like they make some ideas, choose one of them, and repeat it every week, so this is why it's getting boring to me! US Championship match was good to be honest, but the other things were just like before."

[7.0] "A good show with Jimmy & Solo going on a rampage, Mia Yim slapping the hell out of Jimmy. Cena's build throughout the night was interesting. Jimmy vs Karl Anderson was a fun little short match and Theory & Grimes was good. i enjoyed the Street Profits stuff too. Asuka got a nice pop and set up an exciting match. Huge pop and fun segment for LA Knight."

[7.0] "The show provided major steps in many storylines heading to Fastlane, with the Survivor Series at the horizon. Mysterio and Escobar put a good match together with some little hesitations. The rest of the in-ring action however was a bit disappointing. Good show overall that gets a 7."

[3.0] "A very lame show. Only one match really put forward. We had yet another forcing from Charlotte who will have her match for the title (obviously without it she is useless). Jimmy who does the kid since he came back in the bloodline while he was the serious guy when he faces turn... frankly even the story of the Bloddline becomes boring so we go in circles and that Reigns does nothing for a month (see more). In the end, I kept in a positive point that Karl Anderson finally had a solo match (all this for two minutes while he can do better). And finally the turn of Street Profit that is fun."

[6.0] "Despite having John Cena in this show, despite having formed the story of The Bloodline and the abuse of employees and wrestlers backstage, despite Bobby Lashley asking Street Profits to be heels, I thought it was a decent show but little else. I have to thank that I saw a great fight between Rey Mysterio vs. Santos Escobar, which I loved, but nothing else to highlight honestly."

[6.0] "An ok episode of Smackdown this week. LA Knight is getting his spot on John Cenas side as his tag team partner. That was pretty good at the end of the show. The middle part of the show was just there. I'm missing some more or better build up to the next PLE Fastlane."
