[8.0] "Really just a one match show but the match was so good that you have to watch it. They made it feel historic and both guys delivered in a CLEAN match."

[8.0] "Another great episode of SmackDown. Monday Night RAW was left far far away, the differences between both shows are growing each week."

[9.0] "Great great great episode. It's easy to watch and I think easy to write/book either a show with all this quality."

[6.0] "Ya'll are crazy lmao. Yes, the main event was great as expected, from what we saw. Half of the match was demolished by commercial breaks. But the main event wasn't the whole show. Everything else was ass, especially the first hour. Actually, scratch that, the IC title segment was fine, the eventual four-way could be fun, but the first hour was so uneventful, lame, and bad (with the womens tag match). No one cares about Natalya and Tamina vs. ShayNia after seeing it 17 times, and the match was awful. The opener was meh and forwarded nothing. It was a mediocre show overall, with a great main event that is the reason people think the entire show was great."

[8.0] "Very great SmackDown edition overall! The opener was cool, Crews vs Big E was kinda athletic I liked it and Bryan vs Reigns beat the hell out of each other bringing everyone of us down ! Cesaro continues to getting what he deserves for years officially coming for Roman I cannot wait for what's next !"

[5.0] "Matches were good, one great, but they have to end every match with a vicious beatdown of the faces. I guess this is putting smiles on people's faces, watching incompetent baby faces getting killed every week. Who can get invested in such losers? Everybody on the writing team needs to be fired and Vince needs to go home and stay there."

[9.0] "What a show ! The main event will live for the afes but the rest of the show was good too ! I love that they mix up rivalries (like the Owens/Zayn getting in the IC title picture or the Women's title picture getting mixed with the tag team title picture) Top 3 of the Night 3. Sami Zayn 2. Daniel Bryan 1. Roman Reigns"

[10.0] "Amazing SD, this was by far the best weekly TV shows this week, and one of the better in the last period. I loved the main event, but all the matches were good, even the women's tag!"

[9.0] "Another very good Smackdown show, the opening tag was fast-paced and was a good showcase for the competitors involved as well as potentially setting up a tag title rematch. The women's tag was serviceable but it felt repetitive, if they are doing the title change they should have pulled the trigger a month ago. Still good to see the women get more time in the ring. Some good backstage promos hyping the main event, a good way to get more guys on the show with the amount of time that got. Aleister Black vignette was interesting, the in-ring presentation will be key to the character though. The IC Title match was good, their previous matches felt rushed but this one got more time, and the DQ finish helped to build heat and set up a potential 4-way for the title. Only complaint is that Apollo losing so early into his reign doesn't build his credibility as champ. The main event was great, the high stakes really sold it, other than the match dragging a bit it was really well done. The closing segment serves as a memorable send-off for Bryan's character that builds major heat for Roman, the friendship they've been building up with Bryan and Cesaro over the past few months adds meaning for the moment and takes the title feud to the next level. Thoroughly enjoyable 2 hours, the women's tag was fine, everything else was good to great, and lots of meaningful build heading towards the PPV."

[8.0] "This was a very good show. The mixed tag was harmless fun, as most mixed tags are. The finish was predictable but Montez's frog splashes are always a treat to watch. Wish it went a bit longer to allow the women a little more time to shine. The women's tag match was fine for what it was. Tamina is my favourite so I'm happy she's getting a push. Shayna Baszler has been severely harmed by this team with Jax though and it needs to end ASAP. Aleister Black's promo was solid. His delivery is excellent and he really makes you believe his words. Big E and Apollo Crews had a good match. It actually got more than 5 minutes this time which is nice. The DQ was predictable but not necessary. The impending fatal four way for the IC Title though has me very excited. All four men can go and it should be incredible. The main event was very good. Not as good as their match at Fastlane earlier this year, but still very good. The lack of interference and a clean finish was a surprise and a breath of fresh air. The post match angle was well done and provided a great visual. Cesaro and Reigns are gonna kill it at Backlash. Overall this was a very good episode. SmackDown has been on a roll lately."
