[7.0] "Honestly this is a surprisingly really good battle royal, that gave a lot of shine to a bunch of different people, and a lot of them ended up being very important for AEW. 3.5 stars"
[7.0] "A really entertaining battle royale. This had something for everybody, and every competitor had their moment to shine. Unlike most pre-show matches, this one had actual consequences for the main card. Flip Gordon's win and reveal were great moments that felt special."
[7.0] "It has been a very entertaining Battle Royal, the bad thing in my point of view is that the champion of this match did not deserve it as much as others who were there, but certainly very enjoyable."
[5.0] "Wow, I didn't realise out on an island I am with this. I don't think Flip Gordon is very good and Jordynne Grace botched her spot with Cage? Aggressively fine. **1/2"
[9.0] "One of maybe the best battle royals ever with everybody in this getting a chance to shine and look good. It also has Chico El Luchador pretty so that's swell."
[7.0] "I am surprised battle royals are never good so this being good really surprised me. Great chance to see some talents you don't normally see that much of, really enjoyed this one."
[6.0] "Spaßige Battle Royal, die das Konzept mal wieder gut ausnutzt und durchaus feine Geschichten erzählt, aber das ist längst nicht alles interessant, hat eine trashigen Beigeschmack und die Eliminierungen sind mit ein paar Ausnahmen doch recht "typisch". Finish aus der Klischee-Schublade, aber unterhaltsam. Flip bei der Story eine naheliegender Tipp, dennoch ordentlich gemacht. (***¼)"
[10.0] "1992's Royal Rumble is great (for a different reason); but this is the best battle royal of all-time. Everyone got their shine in and it never felt clogged or congested where nothing really happens until it's time for the next guy to shine, as is so often the case in these matches. And a great finish to cap an extended storyline."
[7.0] "This was a lot of fun. I liked how everyone was outside when the battle royal started, as opposed to having everyone in the ring at the start. The finish was predictable but the crowd popped huge for Flip winning. ***1/2"
[8.0] "This was so much fun and one of the best matches of its type for a while. Everyone had a chance to shine, there was some good character work throughout with some cool interactions and the pop for the reveal at the end was probably one of the loudest of the whole night."
[10.0] "Quite honestly, the most fun match of the whole event, and I really liked some of the other matches! But this had such fantastic story, such an eclectic and enjoyable mix of people, and delivered in pretty much every way you could possibly ask for. One of the best battle royals I've seen, bravo to all involved!"
[9.0] "This match was a lot of fun the hardcore and non stop fighting was was awesome the surprise of Flip gordon was cool overall the match rating too me was **** 1/4"
[7.0] "One of the best battle royals I have ever seen. Very well structured, with a fantastic sense of storytelling. Gordon winning was expected, but it still felt special. I am probably the only person on the planet who's into Bully Ray's story arc, and I believe he was the perfect foil to Gordon here."
[6.0] "Spaßige Battle Royal mit relativ klassischem Ablauf. Nicht mehr, nicht weniger. Jeder Teilnehmer bekommt seine paar Sekunden und Spots, mit denen er sich präsentieren darf. Gute Matchlänge ohne Durchhänger, aber auch ohne unnötigen Quatsch. Der größte Fan dieser Matchart werde ich wohl dennoch nicht mehr."
[8.0] "Excellent for a battle royal. Everyone got their spots in. No one was made to seem like a geek. And it was the perfect finish. What more do you want?"
[10.0] "I normally don't rate battle royales or rumbles like this, but for this, I'll make an exception and wildly overrate it. It's a really fun match and probably one of the best battle royales/rumbles ever. Very entertaining from start to finish, everyone got a chance to shine, many were over with the crowd (and hopefully on WGN America) and, storyline perspective, it was executed perfectly for Flip to get on the card."
