[8.0] "Holy crud this started off hot. I'd watch a PPV match between Page and Axiom if they put something on like that again. Page worked over the back beautifully, mentioned there were 6 or so backbreakers on Axiom throughout, including a Powerbomb Backbreaker a la his old tag partner Josh Alexander, Axiom with some good submission work sprinkled with the high flying style that works for him. Great way to start, wonderful match (9.0/10) Vice/Sinclair had some good mat wrestling sequences in there, Gator Roll was a nice touch in the beginning, but that may be my love of Brodie Lee talking. Rough towards the end from Wren with a sloppier looking dropkick and lariat, but she didn't seem too flustered after (7.0/10) DAngelo/Spears picked up towards the end, but something about DAngelos wobbly knee selling I just couldn't get past for some reason (5.5/10) Giulia/Kelani was great as well, some fun pin exchanges, a solid Venus de Milo-esque submission from Giulia that I liked. These two have some good in-ring chemistry (8.0/10) Solid Women's North American Champ match, Paxley's offense really is quite fun to watch (7.5/10), altogether a good episode with some of the better sets of wrestling matchups from NXT I've seen in a while"

[8.0] "Really solid episode. The matches were fun, and it set up a lot of stuff for the future, specially the tag team stuff. Kelani match vs Giulia was the highlight for me, probably the best I've seen from Kelani so far."

[8.0] "(7.5/10) As I mentioned in my review for the main event, and in my review for the most recent RAW, the sign of good TV is when by the end of the episode you're eager for the next week to roll around. That's what you could feel by the time Gigi marked her return. Especially with Deadline less then weeks away, there's a lot of hype around WWE business as near towards the new year."

[6.0] "This episode had two good matches which has been a nice change based on my previous experience. This show in general was better than previous weeks but again, some of the overacting was a touch tedious. But I enjoyed this for the most part. I probably would have had a better time if the soon to be retired network didnt chose to have a meltdown and mix the sound with other parts of the show."

[8.0] "A very driven episode of wrestling. Giulia shined, the NXT Tag Division continues to cause havoc, and we saw Gigi Dolin return very solid episode all around."

[6.0] "A decent episode overall. Some of the tag team brawl stuff that ran through the show was a bit tedious and unnecessary but the matches were on the whole quite good."

[8.0] "Good episode of NXT that built effectively to Deadline. With two strong qualifiers for the Iron Survivor Challenges (which are shaping up to be better than last year's offerings) and a solid main event, the tone of a more in-ring focused episode was set. I also like the way they are building feuds and future matches in and around the qualifiers. The tag division looks like it will become refocused, which is excellent, given it has probably been the most consistent division in WWE this year. Could do with less of some of the wacky storylines, but most of these take up less than 5 minutes each of backstage and lead to short matches. The NXT title picture is tragic, but Trick is still super over and Ridge is the most hated man in the PC, so the segments and the eventual match will at least have heat."

[7.0] "Solid Bridge Epsiode Setting Up For NXT Last PLE Of The Year , Page/Axiom was very very good and Ethan Winning was the right choice for the Iron Survivor, Giulia/Kelani ROCKED! this is the most comfortable Giulia has Look in Orlando so far and Kelani held her as of the best young talents in NXT today , Fallon Henley second title defense was SOLID as well."

[8.0] "NXT stays the A show of all of wrestling, this episode had 3 good to great matches, and while it gets a big high school drama-ey and the main title feud is ass those might be my only two dislikes about a 2 hour developmental show."

[2.0] "The stupid NXT high school segments with the "playa" and the "bad girl" and the Eddy Thorpe stuff alone makes me embarrassed to be a wrestling fan watching this. Ridge Holland does nothing as a heel, and Trick feels like he's just twisting in the wind as they burn off all his initial hype. Kelani seems to be the only NIL hottie that's improving, yet she has zero charisma and can't promo and probably never will be able to. NXT is down bad right now. Axiom/Frasier are the main thing that keeps me watching as they are world class wrestlers."

[8.0] "This was a very good episode of NXT. Two great iron survivor qualifiers, a decent main event with a pretty good return at the end. Also a pretty good angle with Eddy Thorpe/Ava and HBK getting involved."
