[4.0] "It turned out modestly. Sami Zayn and his character are very interesting, he abruptly became funny and it's nice to watch him, it's even interesting to look at Money in the Bank winners. Drew McIntyre & Sheamus have claims to each other again, but as a team they are clearly more successful, can they finally reconcile? Viking Raiders have finally embraced the dark side and they look much cooler this way! Natalya makes a funny parody of Ronda, it's better to have 2-3 minutes of unnecessary matches. Well, let's have another month Max Dupri will break us off, it's so original (no). The modeling agency is obviously failed. In general, there was little wrestling, and the segments on the contrary were good, except for the Hindu dancing."

[5.0] "Gunther x Ricochet was the best thing of the night and only lasted 3 minutes. Some confusing decions, Smackdown seems to be all over the place."

[6.0] "When i look up to the match card it seems like a weak show but it was not bad at all. I enjoyed almost the whole show but it didn't suprised me from start to the end. 6 points go to an OK show."

[2.0] "Another weak episode of Smackdown with very little wrestling - 3 squash matches including a championship match, and the other two being fairly short don't make for good viewing. Removing Drew and Sheamus from Money In The Bank only to have them both reinstated before the end was some of the dumbest storytelling I can remember. Creatively bankrupt and not even making up for it with good wrestling."

[8.0] "The show is super solid and super cool. The right matches, the right booking and good wrestling. Super cool!"

[6.0] "This was a fun show that flew by really fast. The opening segment did a good job of setting up a cool main event with stakes. Zayn and Nakamura had another fun match together, even if the finish made Nakamura look like a dork. The Dance off was fun and the crowd really enjoyed it too. Good way to bring the Raiders back to TV too. Interested in the new gimmick. The women's handicap was interesting I suppose. It's not often that a heel is working from beneath against two faces. I saw it as potential set ups for new teams for the tournament but it's just as likely it won't lead to anything. Natalya and Ronda's segment was entertaining. Nattie nailed the cosplay so well I thought she was really Ronda until she got into the ring. The title match was entertaining while it lasted but far too short, especially for a title match. Shotzi and Tamina put on a fairly uninteresting match with an awkward rope break botch. Cool that Shotzi won though, she excels in stipulation matches. Main event was a decent match. Back when Roman was full time the Usos losing used to lead to frustration from him but with him being part time that story has sadly dissipated. The Usos feel more distant from Roman every passing week. Good show overall, and despite the matches not being long or anything special, the show flew by and was a fun watch."

[8.0] "This show had a theme to it, and it was to make the Smackdown locker room feel like a real organic place. Almost everyone on the roster had an appearance tonight, whether it be in backstage cameos during the street profits segment, teaming with sonya in the handicap match, or being involved in the main. It worked really well and made SD feel like a real roster for the first time in a while. Sheamus is the best."

[6.0] "If I could summarize this episode in one sentence, I'd say that ''everything was there''. It wasn't bad, it wasn't particularly exciting, just there. The matches were okay with nothing standing out. The two biggest angles were the Viking Raiders' return and Natalya's impersonation. Both of them didn't really made an impact. Also, Xia Li apparently turned Heel. The explanation was nowhere in sight. 5.5/10 to be exact, but since nothing didn't really left a negative taste in my mouth, let's make it a 6. Also... WHERE WAS VINCE? ! ? !"

[6.0] "A decent show, obviously was declining as the event was happening, the most striking (without being) is Drew's promo at the beginning of SmackDown, where after talking about wanting the MITB, would come what would be the Main Event of the night, Sheamus and Drew McIntyre teaming up, it's nothing new, but it's curious how they solve the issue of the fight they had a few weeks ago, otherwise, quite insufficient, the fight to highlight under my point of view is also Sami Zayn vs. Shinsuke Nakamura, and as I said, the rest is quite irrelevant."

[7.0] "Great Show to build up to Money in the Bank. Love the main event angle with Drew and Sheamus against The Usos, The Viking Raiders returning and turning heel, the two money in the Bank qualifying matches were good, the women's handicap match was weird, and Gunther squashing Ricochet was a good show of dominance."

[7.0] "This was a good show. The overarching story form the beginning with Drew/Sheamus/Bloodline/Sami to set up the main event was great and the kind of thing you'd see in the Attitude Era where the roster's stories would cross with each other. Sheamus and Drew have good chemistry and it's a rare instance of the "can they co-exist" trope being fun. Nakamura had a great performance in his match with Sami. The Ronda/Nattie segment was... not bad or good as a whole, but Ronda sounded natural for the first time ever on the mic. Shotzi got a good win for MITB. Gunther kicked Ricochet's ass in spectacular fashion. Max Dupri is still funny to me. Only complaint is the handicap match with Sonya. Not sure what they were going for there, but her and her goons are way more interesting than Raquel and Lacey."
