[9.0] "This rocked! Just 9 minutes of non stop fast paced action, and sick sequences from everyone involved. Knight had a great first US title reign and I really wished Carmelo or Andrade would've ended up taking the title off him. They're obviously doing great in their respective companies now but they definitely both deserved it here too."
[8.0] "Very entertaining triple threat, and even though I love LAK, I think Melo should have won the belt here. My only issue with this was that it was too short, all three men did their jobs beautifully. (7.75/10)"
[8.0] "***3/4(7.5/10) And I thought that the Rollins-Reed matched had been booked too short! Maybe they were running overtime and shaved a series of minutes off the US Championship three-way. What we did get was still a ton of fun to watch! And they say there isn't any great technical wrestling in WWE. Show this to someone who makes that statement, and see what they say afterwards! If they object, then the problem is them, not WWE."
[7.0] "Best match of the night but still wasn't amazing, well I mean it was good but it shows how poor this show was.WWE need to pick up the quality of their shows.What am I saying, actually this match was really good, I'm just salty Carmelo Hayes didn't win, which I really wanted.There was some class spots in this match and it's not the best of the year, that goes to, for me Punk vs McIntyre at Bad Blood or the main event of a certain show of a different promotion i cannot mention in London but this match still delivered.I thought it'd make sense for Andrade or Hayes to win and then have Match 7 for the title.Overall, a good match."
[7.0] "[3.5*] This was literally flawless, the action was amazing from start to finish, the chemistry between all three men was great, the spots were fantastic, the crowd was electric, Andrade had a WOTY level performance and the whole thing was just a blast. LA Knight almost botched the spot that he always botches but he was able to recover himself. The finish was so fucking creative and well executed, I just loved this bout. The fact that the show was awful before it just made it better lol, completely changed my mood. My only complaint is that it was too short, but what they did in just 9 minutes is very impressive."
[8.0] "This match stood out on a rather disappointing card. We already knew that Andrade and Carmelo Hayes had amazing chemistry, but LA Knight added to it. The fast paced style of match was perfect for the people involved and made everyone look like stars. The only struggle with this match is that it did not get much time, but it worked perfectly."
[8.0] "This was a fun sprint that benefitted all three men - Knight's successful first PLE defense and a huge platform for Andrade & Melo to fend off their Best of Series duel. Even though there were a few slipups, the energetic pacing helped so much for everyone to show the best in their arsenal. 3.75 out of 5 stars!"
[7.0] "And we're right back up in quality with this match. After the previous match stunk things up a bit, we get a fun, fast-paced Triple Threat here. All three guys looked good and I think they made the most of the time they were given. I especially enjoyed the finish as well."
[7.0] "This was just 9 minutes and it felt like it were 15, but not saying that in a bad way, quite the opposite, it looked like the match was a bigger deal. LA Knight has been surprising me against both Melo and Andrade on a 1 on 1 basis in this title reign, but in this match he was really behind the other two when it comes to wrestling ability and participation in the match. Melo and Andrade put on the whole work of the match, with Knight appearing at certain moments to be some sort of a buzzkiller for them. Still, LA did a very good job, but those other two are world class elite workers and it's pure adrenaline watching them go at it. Best match of the night so far and by a country mile. This rivalry and this title reign have been killing it (*** 1/2)"
[8.0] "It's amazing the 3 have so much chemistry with each other. This is a great match to show to someone who has never seen wrestling to try to get them into it."
[8.0] "This was an incredibly fast paced and very fun match between 3 super incredibly talented and gifted wrestlers. The action never let up and was always at top gear, which made it feel like it could end at any moment. The finishing stretch especially bumped this up a bit, leading to a super creative and well executed finish. LA Knight has soured a tiny bit on me as champ, but if he continues to put on great matches like this than I have no problems with him as champion."
[8.0] "Used all 9 of its minutes to perfection and proved that you dont need to go half an hour to put on a banger show. Fast paced and fun front to back with great story beats playing on moments from the best of seven series Melo and Andrade had put on this year, my only complaint here is that there was never really a conclusive moment to that series in this match. LAs interference was great though, popped the crowd for sure."
[7.0] "I really enjoyed this match however it deserved a lot more time then it received. Carmelo and Andrade was cooking up amazing matches every other week on SmackDown and LA Knight has been an amazing United States Champion so I have no idea why this didn't get more time but it was still amazing match."
[7.0] "3.75 stars. My personal favorite match of the night, although not my highest rated. They used all 9 minutes to perfection and if given more time they couldve pushed this potentially to the 4+ range. LA is incredibly over and carmelo and Andrade wrestled damn good as well."
[9.0] "This match was an absolute BLAST to watch with my girlfriend. The spots were fun, the pacing was well done, the in ring work was consistent, and it genuinely felt like any man could win during the latter portion of the match. There were plenty of near falls for Carmelo or Andrade that had me thinking we had a new champion before someone would break it up or kick out. Ultimately I think LA Knight winning is the correct choice, but I still believe one of these two men will be the person to take the belt from the megastar."
[7.0] "Good action, creative finish. Shame about Knight missing the jump up to the top rope - I feel like he's missed that a couple of times recently. I'd still like a definitive match 7 between Andrade and Carmelo, and wouldn't mind a tag team a la The Bar's creation, and hopefully Knight can move on to fresh contenders, though it feels like everyone suitable is in a tag team. Maybe scratch the idea of Melo and Andrade together, after all."
[10.0] "For me this is match of the night. Fast pace full action. Amazing work from all wrestler. There's one botch from LA Knight but I forgive it as he recovered quickly. And the finish was perfect out of nowhere. I want to see this match over and over again."
[9.0] "The Andrade Vs Hayes best of seven match series ending on bit of a whimper, but it was forgiven with this really amazing triple threat match with them and LA Knight. Really amazing in ring action and chemistry between them and it was just pure fun."
[8.0] "It's definitely the best match of Crown Jewel by far. The chemistry between each wrestler is really good and the finish was so cool and inovative !"
[7.0] "i think that this is the match that i enjoyed the most on this card. The only thing that it has against it is it was just to short. All three of these guys are finally on a ppv which they all shouldve been on the last few honestly. But i enjoyed this SO MUCH. 3.75 stars"
[7.0] "Finally a match on this show worth watching. All 3 are tremendous athletes and Hayes will definitely be main eventing WM sooner than later. This was a fun match and all 3 delivered like usual."
[7.0] "A storyline in which I wasn't too invested but I knew that the match was going to be good, technically impeccable but we feel that the public doesn't care a bit about Andrade and Carmelo. I would have liked a victory for Carmelo but it's not that serious. The finish of the match is super nice, I really liked it!"
[8.0] "One of the only good matches on the event. Melo and Andrade already had good chemistry from their previous matches, and putting them together with LA Knight led to a very fun match."
[7.0] "The night's best match to this point, this managed an awful lot with its time. At just a smidge over nine minutes, this barely ever settles, spotlighting Andrade and Melo's dynamic while also including Knight. The talent's motivation is palpable, relishing the PPV stage and making the absolute most of the space given to them. It's another hit for the Andrade - Melo pairing, though a somewhat unsatisfying conclusion to their series. Either way, this programme has been a positive for both grapplers, giving them a clear role on SmackDown after uneven usage beforehand. ***1/2"
[6.0] "Fun sprint that had a good energy with nice spots. Hayes and Andrade are clearly a step ahead talent wise and this felt like them having to work around Knight's spots so the crowd can cheer. Not much substance throughout, but a solid bout. ***"
[7.0] "This match was decent. It was a good match. Andrade was pretty mid during this match, but Carmelo Hayes & LA Knight looked good. Andrade hit that backwards spanish fly on Carmelo Hayes again. LA Knight ended the match with a BFT, and retained the United States championship. The match was pretty short, only about 9 minutes, but it was still long enough to be good. Overall, this match was pretty good, definitely better than LA Knight's match at last year's Crown Jewel, and I think that this match is a 7/10. 7/10."
[8.0] "(Grade:B+) This was mind-blowing! All three wrestlers got time to showoff why they deserve to win the title and utilizing some great double moves i.e. Carmelo doing the suplex cutter on Andrade who get dropped down on LA Knight or LA Knight doing a double BFT on Carmelo & Andrade! It felt fun & went by quick which helps that it didn't go over the time!"
[8.0] "To my great surprise, the match with basically less time here was the match of the night, and that's because they've managed to capitalize the most out of the screen time and perfectly warm up the main event, they made the most out of the situation and that's why this was so enjoyable. Andrade looked incredible here, he always is, but here he was special, and Melo played his role with excellency as well. This match had a really fast pace and a lot of spots, but the psychology was great as well, something rare to see. The ending was super creative, I loved it, this whole thing was a blast - {***3/4}"
[7.0] "Good match. LA Knight at one stage performed a running gentleman sausage removal on the top rope to himself, and the finish was highly inventive. Lots to enjoy about this match and I hope they now bite the bullet, make a brave choice and settle the best of 7 with a clean win."
[7.0] "I would've liked another 5 minutes here! The wrestling wasn't perfect but it was a true triple threat. LA Knight un-shockingly retains. Andrade can deliver magic and he didn't here except for a few aerial spots. Quality in ring: 2/4. Stakes: 1.5/2. Justification 1/1. Suspense: .5/1. Place on the card: 1/1. Bonus: I liked the unique finish +0.5. Total: 6.5/10.""
[7.0] "A fun and exciting sprint that wasted no time through the entirety of the match. Usually the standard structure of a WWE style three-way match is one person out while the other two have a mini match, and follow that formula until each person gets a rest, then have a closing stage involving all three. This one, however, reached its apex immediately, with so many unique sequences involving all three men with very little time spent between just two guys. Andrade and Carmelo Hayes obviously have great chemistry, but being two of the smoothest workers in the company, they played off LA Knights offense well, and that final BFT counter was glorious. Hayes continues to impress with his ability to sell like death and Im glad to see he and Andrade getting a match on a major show like this with all the work they have been putting in on weekly TV. Quick match, but with no wasted energy, this turned out to be one of the more exciting contests on offer. (***1/2)"
[8.0] "A short but intense match. The best of the evening in the ring, with fluid sequences and a well-crafted finish. The build-up was based on the 7 clashes between Andrade and Hayes, and LA Knight's excessive interventionism. All 3 came out rather stronger, even if neither of the challengers was able to take the title once again. In-ring quality: 2.25/4. Stakes: 1.5/2. Justification: 1/1. Suspense: 1/1. Place on the card: 1/1. Bonus/Malus: None. Total: 7.75/10. Match seen on WWE Network."
[8.0] "Short match but I have to admit that there wasn't a single wasted moment so maybe it is justified. Every move made sense to me as well, as did the near falls, which is a major plus for modern matches that often ignore logic in favor of flashy moves. This match still had some amazing spots, especially from Andrade, who has been on fire since his return. His no-look reverse dive to the outside was shocking! I'd love to see what these guys can do with more time."
[9.0] "I'm upset at the fact this was under ten minutes long because I wanted to go for 15 - 20minutes long. But what a damn Triple Threat Match. This was amazing. So many cool spots, Andrade continues to show people why he's one of the best wrestlers in the game today. Carmelo Hayes shines, and LA Knight continues his reign as the WWE United States Champion. This was a very fun match. I enjoyed it tremendously. The United States Division on SmackDown has been very fun I really hope they continue to make that division as fun as it has been on SmackDown. Overall very great match."
[9.0] "[4.5*] What. A. MATCH. I remember everything vividly from this. Melo and Andrade made what game 7 should have been here. They started off brawling and doing their cool shit, then LA Knight hits like 15 "YEAH" punches. Then Melo and Andrade superkick him out of the ring and cook for a bit. When Knight gets up, Andrade just goes YOLO and backflips off the top turnbuckle to the outside onto him. This whole sequence was fucking phenomenal. Multiple double-pin kickouts, close pin breakups, BFT counter to a backflip to another BFT counter into a spinning elbow from Andrade. Match ended with Knight coming in at the end for a DOUBLE-BFT. This was great."
[6.0] "Solid match, but the booking leaves something to be desired. A month ago, when the issue of how black men have been booked under the new regime was so prominent that Triple H was getting asked about it at the presser, WWE had an easy fix that they somehow didn't avail themselves of: just put the deciding match of the Hayes/Andrade best-of-seven series - which was one of the best things going for Smackdown throughout the summer - on the Bad Blood card, and have Melo go over. Instead, they overcomplicated the story by having the series end inconclusively (leading to a triple threat, which I was fine with if it got Melo on the card). But having Knight go over does nobody any favours: not Knight, not Triple H, not Andrade, and not Carmelo."
[7.0] "Short but well paced matchup. All three of these wrestlers had good chemistry. Melo really shined in this one but I think all three of the wrestlers looked good. Now please move on From Hayes and Andrade. Its good but they have done it way too often."
[7.0] "Good match for the US Championship. This one definitely deserved more time, all three guys here worked well together and it led to some very good exchanges. A quick pace with Andrade and Melo doing a lot of the flashy moves while LA Knight took on more of a supporting role, which made sense given the story being told. LA Knight retained the title. 7/10"
[8.0] "a beautiful triple threat match. You would not expect anything else from these fine performers. It's really interesting to see what Carmelo and Andrade will come up with next, but it's not that important right now, the match itself is very good."
[6.0] "The finish was cool and there was some good stuff throughout but felt like it was missing something. Like it was on the verge of being really good but didn't quite make it."
[7.0] "Lots of high flying and fast paced action in this one. Andrade hits a crazy no look moonsault to the outside that has to be seem to be believed. Some botchiness from Knight, as to be expected, but its easily overlooked. Melo eats the pin. Good pace in this one and lots of top rope antics."
"A very good match, the only drawback is that the match time is only a short nine minutes and ten seconds. Messi and Ronaldo had a great performance in this game, La Knight's jump on the top rope action still had a mistake, the most surprising thing for me is Andre, his performance is very surprising, I seem to see the Andre of NXT back then! It was a wonderful match!"
[6.0] "A short, but relatively solid 3 way. A few fun sequences and spots, including a great dupe from Andrade where he looks to hit a moonsault on Melo in the ring but instead hits one on Knight outside of the ring. The finish was also pretty cool as Knight hits a BFT on Melo as Melo hits a La Mistica on Andrade. Could've been a bit longer but overall this was quite enjoyable. ***1/4"
"Would be the best match on the card if it wasnt for damn LA Knights slip up on the turn buckle. What made it worse is he didnt even sell it. He landed on his goddamn cock and balls and got right back up to do the suplex spot with Andrade. Cmon man, if you botch at least roll with it and sell it. Dont just land on your balls and get back up, sell the slip up like it was planned and call the spot in the ring. Its what a great wrestler would do. Despite the botch, these three workhorses showcased with the Smackdown midcard is so hot right now. Their chemistry and spots were so good I almost called this the match of the night until I remembered the botch."
"[7.0] Short but very effective, mostly felt focused on Andrade & Melo but since Knight went over don't mind it all. Some nice fakeout spots like Andrade jumping on Knight outside the ring instead of the prone Carmelo and surprisingly got the loudest cheers in the match. Very excited to see where these three go from here."
[8.0] "Match of the evening, we can even talk about show stealer but we expected a little bit too. Very good content in the ring and a logical end to close this rivalry. The US title becomes interesting again since LA Knigh holds it"
