[8.0] "I don't understand how people can watch it and give it such low ratings. For Sol Ruka's efforts, I would give it a 6, and I'm not even talking about the other girls. The only one who didn't stand out much was Jacy Jane (excluding Jade Parker). Overall, the match was very good, fast-paced, fun, and interesting. The outcome was satisfactory. The storyline within the match was well-developed. ***3/4"
[7.0] "This was a pretty good match. The first of two Survivor Series elimination style matches was the all women's match, with Jordynne Grace as the special guest referee. This was by no means a perfect match with a couple of botches and even the TNA ring announcer getting it wrong with Sol Ruca was eliminated by Kelani Jordan. However, the work and athleticism from the women here was fun for what it was. I will say that despite good showings from Team TNA, it became clear by the end of the match that it was a platform to show how good Kelani Jordan is. That and Team TNA was comprised of former, and in Jordan's case current, NXT talent but TNA had their hands tied. They weren't going to use Tessa Blanchard, Ash By Elegance just vacated the Knockouts title due to injury, plus she's a former NXT talent herself, and Masha Slamovich is in the midst of some controversy that will keep her out of the ring for some time. ***1/2"
[7.0] "my biggest critique of this match is how it used team TNA as stepping stones to establish 1) Kalani Jordan is really good, 2) Jacy & Sol are both beasts in ring and gonna start teasing a feud, 3) Lola vice is the new Shayna. Match wise I was having a blast, team TNA was getting fed to wolves however seeing the team line up it didn't feel surprising. With how much the knockouts division has been in chaos since the Masa Slammovich allegations having a pretty notable impact on this matches composition. The only botch that stood out on initial viewing was Sade just entirely overshooting a moonsault. Kelani trying to make the 1v3 comeback was a far more entertaining point in the match than I originally thought it would be as we entered that stage of the match, and in ring this really confirmed how Kelani, Jacy, and Sol are machines at putting out banger matches. Probably too many cooks on this one, but despite its flaw I was loving it."
[8.0] "Interesting tag match with clear team dynamics. NXT team's chemistry stood out, while TNA team had no internal story development or tension with the new champ. Match above average. Mara Sade seems more confident on a TNA ring - here back in NXT, she struggled to hit her opponent."
[2.0] "Some parts of this match were fine but there was a lot of sloppiness and just stupid things as well that for me overrode any sort of parts of this match that were fine. Having 1 weird mistimed pin botch is one thing, but at least 3 in the same match is concerning. On top of that a lot of clanky looking moves, random ref card stuff, little if any attempts to acknowledge previous feuds with people who were in the match (ie. Jada & Lola, Jordan & Sol [they seemed to hint at it in ring but the crowd I guess didn't remember]) & more"
[5.0] "Ignoring how Team TNA was a glorified NXT team, this was an okay match with a few botches. Mara Sade overshot the moonsault, McKenzie Mitchell thought the match ended sooner than it did. There were some really fun sequences, such as Sol Ruca jumping to the outside. I liked Jacy Jayne's work, too. Decent finish as well."
[6.0] "This was a fine match; nothing particularly bad, but nothing especially memorable either. The action was steady throughout, and while there were some fun moments, a few awkward transitions and inconsistent pacing kept it from hitting another gear. Things started with some light mat wrestling between Jordan and Jayne before the match broke down into an all-out eight-woman brawl. The early chaos gave way to the usual rhythm; a few dives, a couple of messy moments (including a moonsault that barely connected), and the crowd doing the wave during a slower stretch. Once eliminations began, the match found better structure and flow. Parker and Sade traded quick pins before both were eliminated in short order, and from there, Vice brought some spark with crisp strikes and energy off the hot tag. Her eliminations of both IInspiration members were a highlight. Jordan worked well in the anchor role for Team TNA, but the layout didn't do her group many favours; the TNA side felt secondary for most of the match. The finishing stretch between Ruca, Jayne, and Jordan was solid, ending with Jayne opportunistically tagging in to steal the final pin after Ruca hit the Soul Snatcher. That finish fit Jayne's character nicely, even if it came off slightly abrupt. **1/2"
[9.0] "This match was so fun, I really missed the Traditional Survivor Series Tag Team elimination matches, I hoped that TNA had more TNA girls like Rosemary or Tasha Steelz, but they ate, Kelani Jordan was the MVP of this match, she fight hard!"
"THE WAVE is the sign at a sporting event that the crowd does not care and this match went from the crowd acting like they liked all the dives to the outside before the commercial to that same crowd doing THE WAVE and laughing at each other, while having conversations, after that commercial. Desperately needed women with personality to combat the crowd here. The crowd was way too amped for any of this. Average match. Billie and Peyton have not gotten any better."
[8.0] "Now I can agree that Survivor Series style matches gonna be returned, because this and man's matches were fire. Women delivered a very active and dinamic match, even with fact that no one hasn't been eliminated for a long time at the start. Yes, there also was a big botches, even 2, but for 20+ minutes of activity there is nothing. Great match."
[6.0] "The match was a bit confusing at times and didn't always hit the mark, but there were definitely some positives. Sol Ruca and Kelani Jordan impressed me the most -- their energy and athleticism carried several moments. Sol's Sol Snatcher looked absolutely incredible as usual. The story was simple but effective, making the match enjoyable despite its rough edges."
[3.0] "I had a little bit of expectations going into this match, but it failed to delivered, from the booking of the match to the sloppiness of it, nothing was good. *1/2"
[4.0] "Some really bad botches including the ring announcer calling for the end prematurely and Mara Sade missing a moonsault badly, this was cursed. Jordynne Grace added nothing as special guest referee, which I kinda like because we can't expect every special guest referee to play an integral part in the story or do something screwy, but it was worse than if they had a regular official because she looked so uncomfortable. The red card spot made no sense. I guess that wrestler used to play soccer, but that is not clever because it's a one-sided allusion. It would be clever if the red card led to her ejection, or if she did something to earn it. Some saving grace is that Survivor Series matches are fun, and it went a long time before the first elimination, and the teams color-coordinated their gear which looked cool. Worth mentioning that the recent, sudden abdication by Ash by Elegance and the suspensions of Masha Slamovich and Tessa Blanchard likely affected how they built Team TNA."
[4.0] "Okay elimination match. The teams were very one-sided, with some of the top stars on Team NXT against Team TNA comprised of a few nobodies and Kelani, an NXT wrestler, as their champion. This was over before it started. This match didn't need a special guest ref to begin with and Jordynne Grace didn't do a good job anyway. She used to be in TNA and now she's in NXT, so what? The action was a mix of a few good spots with some sloppy moves, it all evened out to be nothing special. There was some mild intrigue over Kelani having to fight against Lola, Sol and Jacy as the rest of her team failed to make much of an impact. Kelani manages to take out Lola, and I guess the ring announcer wasn't paying attention at all to what was going on because she was about to announce the winners of the match. Oops. Kelani and Sol have an exchange, Sol hits the Sol Snatcher then Jacy steals the pin. Team NXT wins, no surprise there. This didn't really work for me. 4.5/10"
[5.0] "this was going so good and when the IInspiration got eliminated everything started to go wrong, before that Mara's moonsault was the only down, but after Lola eliminated both everyone botched even the announcer, what a shame"
[6.0] "This was a very fine Traditional Survivor Series Elimination Style Match. There were no swerves or turns; it was a very basic match. Jordynne Grace was a fun referee, pulling out a Yellow Card, and had some good moments as the referee. There were some botches in this match mixed in with some sluggish moments. But the ending we saw was Jacy Jayne stealing Sol Ruca's shine and taking the pin and winning, and giving herself the credit, but Team NXT came out on top."
"You know the match isn't all that great when the one spot everyone's talking about is a ring announcer botch. I'm sorry McKenzie Mitchell, but that call was awful. Vic hid his cringe and embarrassment pretty well after hearing his wife mess up that badly. As for the actual match itself: Jordynne should never ref again because she was so slow at getting in position to count, TNA's best performer being Kelani is embarrassing, Mara did pretty well apart from the moonsault miss, it was fun seeing the IInspiration back in a WWE ring, Sol continues to be incredible, Lola continued to do Lola things which is good, Jacy stealing the pin at the end is typical her, and Jaida got eliminated with a smart play on Team TNA's part. Overall slightly above average (6/10), also wrong winners imo."
[5.0] "It was an ambitious match featuring many big names, delivering some good moments, although it failed to maintain a consistent pace from start to finish. The positive aspect was the intensity and storytelling from the first minute. NXT relied on teamwork and speed, while TNA relied on the experience and individual work of its stars. However, the match suffered from the classic problems of multiple-elimination matches: too many people, too many pauses. At times, the pacing became confusing, and the cameras couldn't capture all the action. Additionally, some eliminations felt rushed or unbelievable, which somewhat detracted from the overall narrative. It was a rather poor match. When it worked, it was spectacular; when it didn't, the overload was noticeable. 5/10."
[7.0] "It featured notable eliminations (Mara Sade eliminating Jaida Parker, then being eliminated by Sol Ruca; Lola Vice taking out Cassie Lee) and managed to sustain tension. But it wasn't flawless: some eliminations felt abrupt, the pacing wavered in the mid-to-late stretch, and the storytelling didn't always emphasize the identities or stakes of individual participants. It worked well as a spectacle and provided moments of drama, but it lacked consistent momentum and emotional peaks to push it higher."
[2.0] "Zero surprise, zero drama, but a match full of botches -- between Jordynne not knowing how to sell a pin, the wrestlers botching every other move, and the announcer messing up at the end. On top of that, the match had zero surprise given the one just before it. And then the content of the match is so empty for a Survivor Series match."
[6.0] "The TNA team seemed confused to me, everyone will talk about Mara Sade's wrong moonsault but the match is not bad, nothing sensational but the NXT girls manage to conduct the match at a decent level"
[5.0] "I feel like TNA should have won, but nevertheless it was an alright match. Sade had a bad moonsault botch, and the ring announcer spoilt the winners by announcing far too early, which gave away the end result, but besides that, it was okay. Sol Ruca is very entertaining to watch and very fluid for someone who's been around for a short while."
[6.0] "It was totally okay. Grace had several awkward moments, with pins that were hard to tell if they were a 2 or a 3 count, and I'd say that didn't help the match. I liked most of the eliminations, except for Parker's, with a roll-up right after a botched moonsault. Unsurprisingly, the best moments of the match came when Cassie and Jessie were in the ring together. Kelani ended up alone against three NXT members, which makes sense from a storytelling perspective, but certainly doesn't paint TNA in a good way."
[5.0] "Didn't think this one was that special. I wasn't a fan of the layout, and there were some bad looking work too. But there were also some fun workers in there, so those parts I did enjoy."
[6.0] "It's alright for an elimination tag I guess I feel like they rushed the eliminations wayyyy too much. They had them all stacked right on top of eachother instead of building drama through the eliminations through the match. Like every elimination happens pretty much in the final 6 mins. Also more and more I'm starting to realize TNA has to purpose in this partnership like they ain't getting anything out of this. Kelani Jordan being the soul survivor is cool and all but it isn't raising anyone in TNA stock because she is a nxt wrestler. Now I get it there wasn't anyone else on the TNA team that you could have done that with in this match so that's fair maybe masha if it wasn't revealed to be who she is in real life. (***1/4)"
