[6.0] "All in all, this was a solid show with matches being made for Summerslam, good talking and nothing bad. That last part is what often sets Smackdown apart, as they are a pretty steady two hours most weeks. That? s a pretty good place to be and it makes Friday such an easy night of wrestling. It? s not a great show, but it was good enough and I? ll certainly take it at this point."
[4.0] "Lot of quick matches, and the ones that didn? t end almost immediately weren? t that good, either. Where the hell is Toni Storm? She debuted two weeks ago, hasn? t been seen since. Huh. I see a lot of people are upset with Cena not being on the show, but I? m fine with that. I feel like if he was on the show he? d have taken the spotlight off Balor, who looked like a badass tonight."
[4.0] "This show was not good. Straight up bad. Booking and repetitive matches leads to me checking my phone to see how much longer we've got. Barely any Cena and Roman, and the one Roman spot was just filler."
[6.0] "It was a pretty average show. I wish they would have given a little more time to Tamina vs. Tegan Nox because I feel like that could have been the best match on the card minus the short time and crappy finish. I'm happy for Balor getting some main event time recognition but I hated seeing Corbin get squashed. Otherwise it was mostly pretty good wrestling with crappy finishes."
[6.0] "A few short matches this week, and no John Cena despite being advertised locally, I presume he worked a dark match. Poor form releasing a group of NXT talent during the show, while Adam Cole was reportedly at the venue negotiating with Vince McMahon, why would he stay if he sees how expendable talent are there?"
[6.0] "This was a fine show, but I don't particularly enjoy the more matches, shorter duration approach they sometimes take. Nakamura and Crews should have absolutely gone longer than it did. Balor effectively squashing Corbin makes him look very strong for whatever is next for him. Sasha and Edge both had good promo segments. Bianca and Vega had a fun match. The opener was match of the night. Big E and Heyman's interaction was great. Tamina and Tegan was fine. A decent show but the number of short matches was a little excessive."
