[6.0] "They were so funny that night for no reason at all lmao. This main event is a pretty nice surprise, 20 minutes of action is an unusual bit for WWE TV as far as I'm aware (I quickly understood that this happened to get two commercial breaks in the match and ruin the mood). Finn and Sami started with a very cool technical battle that I enjoyed a lot. The Kevin hot tag was pretty nice and he managing to avoid Rhea and take down Dom for no reason at all was great. The ejections seem to be a pretty recurring thing for the Judgment Day, but I really don't get why they weren't there at the begninning of the match, bringing them after the match started to get them ejected 2 minutes later is some 2K bullshit lol. And speaking of such bullshit, so many shenanigans would still happen here. The match had the talent and time to make a great main event, but so many distractions ruined everything."

[6.0] "Well, certainly I don't see how this is beyond average. It was a well worked match and a fun Main Event, but there was nothing special about it. I liked the story of Paul Heyman doing business with Judgment Day and Imperium to take out Sami and Kevin before Night of Champions, it brings some heat to Roman. (*** 1/4)"

[8.0] "As much as I really liked the chemistry between these duos, it was the intertwined storytelling that elevated this match much to my liking. Heyman pulling off some strings & adding Imperium as troublemakers for Zayn & Owens is such a great move as the champs are ahead of new problems before solving the past. That intricate diversion gave room for Bálor to capitalize and secure a win for the villainous hot act. However, the resilient action from the champions made this an entertaining affair & the storied finish created the mystique of a possible fleet of threats for the frenemies. 4 out of 5 stars!"

[7.0] "This was a fun main event that had Judgment Day actually get a meaningful win here. Judgment Day is one of the top factions in WWE, but it feels like they do a whole lot of losing sometimes. They dont need to win the Tag Titles anytime soon, but I wouldnt me bad at all if they ran this back for said titles and maybe even won them. Although, I think I would very much like for Imperium to take the titles instead."

[8.0] "Pretty good match. Owens was the dominating man in this match. Zayn was looking like the poor one. Tho Zayn Owens could win this figh, but distract around them cost the match. (***3/4)"

[8.0] "A fun main event, which saw a good mix of interference and good wrestling throughout. Good amount of storyline development throughout"

[7.0] "A lively match with loads of chaotic storyline trimmings. The live crowd was well into it & plenty of seeds were sewn to keep viewers coming back ***1/2"

[4.0] "Without a dragon to slay, Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens's current run as tag champs has been incredibly disappointing. The do not compete as a team but rather as two solo wrestlers who can afford to take naps between bouts. Speaking of which, Sami was notably missing for a good portion of the match and you can see some audience gesturing for him to get up to ringside before his cue. It's really an annoying trope in a lot of tag matches where people are lounging about on the floor and not waiting on the side. Honestly, at this point I am more excited for the Imperium/Judgement Day/Bloodline alliance vs SZ/KO and I hate that fact. The only pros I will give this match is that it is trying to do something new."

[7.0] "A main event non-title tag team match that was heavily story-focused. Rhea and Dom came out when the babyfaces got the advantage, but after a few minutes were tossed from ringside after interference. Xavier Woods then attacked Dom. Paul Heyman waddled out to stand by the entrance and talk on the phone. The crowd was taken out of the match because they were waiting for who else was going to show up. Sami practically disappeared for a noticeable amount of time until his hot tag near the end. Imperium came out and interfered several times, which led to Finn and Damian getting the win; so now all the major heel factions are in a loose alliance to take down Sami and KO. On the whole, this was fine but could have been much better without so much happening. It would have been nice to see these two good teams get more time to actually wrestle. 7/10"

[7.0] "I thought this was a good match, but the constant interference throughout the match would ruin the pacing for me, and ruin this from being better. The chaotic nature here was nice, but towards the end this started to really feel like overkill. ***1/2"

[3.0] "The first two segments were a total waste of time, and even after they came back from the second commercial is still felt like everyone was just waiting around for something to happen. Something kind of did, eventually, with that dumb screwy finish, but the actual in-ring action here was complete filler. Sami's hot tag was all right, though."

[7.0] "Pretty good main event where everything flowed and everybody worked well together, but I didn't think it stood out as much of some of the other comments suggest. Much like last weeks matches, I think I mostly just enjoyed seeing a fresh combination of wrestlers. The interference at the end didn't really bother me, personally."

[9.0] "This was a tremendous main event right here between all these fantastic workers who know how to work together and how to deliver such quality matches on television with such ease, I thought I would like it but not as much and it pleasantly surprised me, everything was phenomenal both in the ring and in the overbooking that took place, I felt like I was watching a big Attitude Era main event again with action, interventions and a hot crowd, with a long lasting match to boot. I wish it wouldn't have ended because it was just phenomenal, the trios match next week should be a great one."
