[7.0] "With this match, the Usos break the WWE record for the longest tag team title reign. The fact that they achieve this against their longtime nemesis, New Day, of all teams, adds some excitement to a storyline that otherwise has nothing new to offer. Today, however, both teams once again showcase the full range of this long-running feud and deliver a lengthy and entertaining opener that wouldn't look out of place on a PPV card."
[9.0] "This was an amazing and slightly underrated match in my opinion. The in ring action was great as the two teams can go with each other for days, and the suspense was great with the story of the winning team being the longest reigning tag team champions."
[8.0] "It is impressive how The New Day went from being at the top of the tag-team division to being luxury jobbers, while The Usos are the ultimate bosses of this same division. For the love of the game, the lads have put on an intense and emotional one. It had a great timing, either on the spots and the nearfalls. That was almost breathtaking during the final minutes. Kingston was the targeted man, while Woods was superb as the hot-tag. The lad desperately wanted to claim these belts back because it has been too long since New Day didn't have these belts around their waists. This fire put on by Kingston and Woods was a great contrast with The Usos being cold as f*ck. Their chemistry is one of those that is unattainable, everything felt natural. Nonetheless, they could have gone all out on the in-ring action as well, but they preferred the storytelling and the psychology, and it's all to their credit. Another superb chapter in that all-time rivalry."
[8.0] "An excellent match interspersed with long commercial breaks which took me out of the match a little. Excellent near falls on both sides. A hot audience but one that gave voice to Sami Zayn at the beginning but who later entered the match. A very good heat on Kingston in the first half but which gave a slightly disappointing hot tag despite Woods managing it. (4*)"
[10.0] "This is probably there best tag title defense right behind Sami and KO. These teams have such good chemistry it's unreal. It's like Austin and Rock of tag team rivalries but anyway. One of the greatest rivalries in wrestling and it all blows off here with the Usos finally surpassing the New Day. This is very much the passing of the torch moment for the Usos and they make it count. These teams are at their apex here and it's really good to see them perform. This is an A+ performance with great nearfalls and tag team action. This is tag team basics one o one and these two just kill it. Add a red hot crowd and you got yourself a 5 star match. Amazing."
[7.0] "Not as good as their matches from 2017. My problem with some Uso matches is the superkick spamming, yes I know the Young Bucks do this too and I don't enjoy it in their matches either. They seem to have watered down their moveset, also the 1D at the end didn't look very good as Jey wasn't needed in the finish."
[7.0] "To be honest, I was expecting much more from this match. The stakes were high in this one: two teams with a great background, with previous history, competing not only for the titles, but for the record of longest reigning champions in WWE. The match is not bad, in fact is pretty good, with some cool moments (that 1D in mid air was one of the most perfect executions of a move I've ever seen), but the storytelling was pretty low. I liked the little showing of respect by the Usos at the end. (*** 1/2)"
[5.0] "Both teams following a strict pattern here with no memorable spots despite a pretty good storyline going in. New Day look like the better performers as usual. Michael Cole doesn't realize it's the finish because it's a little sloppy so he no sells it for a moment or two lol"
[8.0] "The Uso brothers against the New Day is already a generation battle and we are still surprised at their meetings. The fighters have the brightest chemistry and they really surprise and conquer the hearts of fans every time. Everything was in the best traditions, 2.9 reports, combinations of commands, sequences of throws and punchlines. As a result, the team that has written itself into history as long-playing with the help of 3D from the third floor of the rope wins."
[8.0] "These two teams could put on a banger on their sleeps, no surprise here. Also, now that the Uso has the record for longest reign, please drop it to Sami and KO."
[8.0] "The magic between these iconic teams stays alive because of crucial contests like this. Since their showdown in 2019, I wasn't heavily invested in the other bouts of both teams till their clash at Day 1 & this match. It's surely because of overexposing their rivalry without a proper cause for a long time and this match had a great story of carrying the prestige of WWE's tag team division moving forward. The promo days before encapsulated the significance of this match and their top-tier quality played its part in proving that the significance is real. The exchanges felt rapid, took time to sink in & gave a natural feel of unpredictability. The titles being in possible jeopardy of a change due to Jey's wrist scare added a nice touch to expect a twist, but what happened was expected & I'm happy of the outcome. 4 out of 5 stars!"
[6.0] "I enjoyed the reasons behind this match. Once it got going it was good stuff but held back by an incredibly pedestrian first half and the feeling I have seen it all a million times before despite the fact I am not even a regular watcher of WWE so haven? t seen every match these guys have had."
[6.0] "A good match, but I'm not really seeing where the reviews that make it seem like a classic are coming from. While I do think this needed to happen before the Usos passed the record for longest tag title reign, there's only so many times you can see the same match before it feels stale. Even if I ignore that and try to be objective I'm not really seeing the hype here. It felt slow in parts and was reliant on nearfalls, but without any of the nearfalls really feeling very convincing. Some of the 'epic' spots felt very forced and it struggled to retain my attention. Nothing that we haven't seen done better elsewhere."
[8.0] "A great match with a comically high score here thanks to the several new accounts who give 10's to everything WWE just to boost the rating. With that being said, really liked this, probably one of the best WWE TV matches of the year. These 2 teams have an historical, almost decade old rivalry and of course great chemistry. For how much WWE fans fawn over the Usos, The New Day are arguably better. ****"
[6.0] "They tried to make it a big/epic/historic match, but Usos in matches like this they come across as someone who are simply following the pattern very well, while really not being anything special. Because this was a WWE-style match, they did finishing stretch with all the near-falls very well, but first almost 2/3rds were forgettable."
"Banger of a match. New Day and Usos showed why they're easily two of the greatest tag teams of all time. In addition to that, the stakes of the overall match elevated the match to a point that not many tag team matches in recent history have been able to reach,"
[8.0] "The stakes for this match being whoever wins is the longest reigning tag team champions in WWE history was cool as you don't get an opportunity to do that much. Usos' heat segment was solid, but definitely could've cut some time off although Jimmy taking Woods off of the apron just as Kofi had found the opening for the hot tag was a nice little moment. Anyways after this there's a ton of good spots and near falls from both teams with neither being able to put each other away. They reached a stalemate and began brawling on the outside with Woods getting taken out by being sent over the barricade. The 1D on a flying Kofi definitely would've been better if they didn't like completely miss him, still a great match however, also felt like it could've used a couple more minutes.****1/4"
[8.0] "The New Day and Usos are wrestling soulmates. it started slow but finished strong. it went on for 20+ min which was great. incredible chemistry, good sequences, and near fall after near fall, making you think The New Day actually had a chance. i'm hoping this marks an end to their rivalry. [****1/4]"
[7.0] "The great Usos vs New Day rivalry continues in neat style! These two tag teams always deliver, and this match is no different. The crowd was red hot all the time, and the wrestlers really looked inspired and involved in the bout, especially in the final five minutes. Not their best match, but still a pretty good one, definitely recommend it. ****"
[6.0] "Felt the same way about this match as I did their promo on RAW this past Monday: a lot of this just felt very forced. These are two great teams to be sure, but while Usos have found a gimmick that helped breathe new life into them, New Day have been stale for the last two years so this drama just didn't land for me."
[8.0] "It was an awesome match, just as you would expect from two of the greatest tag teams in WWE history. They have too much chemistry and never miss. Jey and Jimmy focused their attacks on Kofi Kingston, keeping him away from Xavier Woods. However, Kofi eventually managed to make the tag and Woods cleaned house, giving the New Day dominance of the match, but they couldn't capitalize on three covers. They pushed each other to their limits, battling for over 20 minutes until finally, the Usos prevailed. Thus, The Usos became the longest-reigning Tag Team Champions in WWE history."
[7.0] "Once it got going (after what felt like 30 minutes), the match got good, as expected from both teams. The result was predictable but eh, a lot of results in modern wrestling are predictable, what matters is the content of the match itself."
[9.0] "This match was fantastic and perhaps my favurite Usos Vs New Day ever. Started off a lot slower than i expected but the action was intense by the end. 1D finish was sick!"
[9.0] "Yes, they delivered! The match has it all: the epic, the great in-ring work, pathos, storytelling and psychology, the spectale was awesome indeed."
[10.0] "Incredible match to start this SmackDown. Here The Usos make history, who remain champions and increase their reign, surpassing New Day's. Congratulations for them. Let's see if they now deign to split up New Day to create storylines with them separate."
[10.0] "And just like that, the best tag team rivalry in WWE history strikes again to the surprise of absolutely no one I guess because these two teams have so accustomed us to an exceptional level of action every time they've met that it was obvious that this match, built around an excellent storyline and a great segment on the last episode of RAW, would deliver and live up to the expectations. And when I say that I know I wasn't wrong because I had crazy expectations for it, it's one of my favourite chemistry ever and two of my favourite teams (two of the best in the world at the same time) and all the ingredients were there for it to be a fierce battle, the Usos overtaking the New Day's record if they won and Kofi & Woods doing everything they could to stop them. That's how you tell a story, that's how you put prestige and importance on titles and I thought it was so well done. A story told perfectly in the ring by the way, with brillant & superb tag team action to open the show with some crazy sequences and nearfalls of the same level, the crowd was loud and so was I behind my screen. Definitely in the top 5 tag team matches of 2022, hands down."
[10.0] "What a surprise, the New Day and The Usos have another fantastic match. This is one of the best tag team rivalries of all time and I think the Usos are a great choice to beat the New Days reign."
[9.0] "Excellent match. The New Day and The Usos have incredible chemistry and put on another excellent match that went over 20 minutes. Great sequences, incredible false finishes, and while it was pretty obvious that The Usos would retain, they really tried to make you think a title change was possible. Really awesome match.
