[5.0] "A lot of filler, really, which is a shame because a lot of the talent on ROH have immense amounts of potential."

[5.0] "They gave us a 1 hour and 40 minutes episode and it still felt like it was 80% filler. It picked up a bit toward the end. but they could've easily cut half of those matches and given more time to the actual storylines and the bouts that mattered. I still really enjoy ROH but it needs a change of direction"

[4.0] "An 11 match show coming in at about an hour and 45 minutes and it felt it. Adam Priest/JD Drake and Jay Lethal/Tommy Billington were both solid matches in the best of the episode. The women's TV title and women's pure title both got defended for the first times in 2 1/2 months (with Zayda Steel having one quick win being enough to earn her a title shot after nothing but Proving Ground matches for Red Velvet in that time.) Nick Wayne made his return match after going defenseless with the TV title for over 200 days and kept his title throughout that duration. The title situation in this promotion continues to be a mess with commentary talking about title contention ad nauseam but names earning title shots at random after minimal success/at random/go several months without a defense with nothing done about it. As of this episode Bandido, Athena and STP have not defended since Final Battle 2025. Factor in a number of short enhancement matches where the results are never in doubt or the matches feel like they are not leading to anything (almost any time Satnam Singh is on the show who collects wins with nothing coming of it) and it gave the episode a feeling of being a content dump rather than providing much of anything substantial."
