Finn Balor & Hideo Itami vs. Konnor & Viktor

[5.0] "Can we stop the revisionist history that the Ascension were ever good? Finn and Kenta totally carry them here"

[6.0] "Nothing too wrong with this but goes longer than its worth. The best spot actually took place in the break where Finn took a hard forearm onto the apron."

[6.0] "The Ascension remain terribly dull in control, but this is decent in spite of that. They have some time in fairness, which certainly helps, with Balor and Itami pretty comfortably handling the rest. **3/4"

[6.0] "Solid TV main event, nothing here I'd say to go out of your way to watch, but if you just so happen to put this show on, i wouldn't skip it."

[6.0] "This wasn't as good as their match at Takeover: R Evolution, but this was still a pretty solid rematch. I do thing the commercial break sort of halted momentum, though it wasn't too bad. Their first match also had Finn Balor as the Demon, so the mystique wasn't nearly as strong. There was a spot where Hideo Itami teased using the GTS, with the crowd even chanting for it. This was still entertaining, with the Ascension putting over Balor and Itami on the way out of NXT. ***"

[6.0] "Less good than the Demon Balor debut. The Accession final time feeling like a threat. After this they were eternal jobbers."

[6.0] "Not as good as their R Evolution match, but still well done. Great use of tag formula and big win for two potential big stars. (***)"
