[8.0] "Really good smackdown , with good matches across the card. My favorite match was Bianca vs Bayley , it was a entertaining match , but every match with these two is entertaining, I don't like how much Bayley lost during this time. Bianca showed some good heel tendencies though , and I think she needs to turn heel to get me invested in her again. The worst match is the women's tag , it wasn't bad but it deserves more time , two minutes isn't enough , plus Chelsea losing is not a good look for the women's tag team champions. My favorite promo is John Cena cooking solo ok the mic with a raspy voice , in 90 seconds , this just shows how good Cena is on the mic. Match ratings Owens vs Theory 8/10 , Chelsea and Piper vs Shotzi and Flair 7/10 , Pretty Deadly vs Brawling Brutes 7/10 , Bianca vs Bayley 8/10."

[7.0] "Diese Ausgabe von SmackDown enthielt nicht die eine große Sache, aber viele kleine gelungene Dinge, die sich zu einer insgesamt dann doch unterhaltsamen Show zusammenfügen, vor allem wenn man bedenkt, dass es eine aufgezeichnete Show war. Knight und Roman in der Opening Promo waren solide, ebenso wie Solo Sikoa und John Cena in der Mitte der Show. Im Ring waren vor allem das Donnybrook Match und das Main Event zwischen Bianca und Bayley gelungen, aber wiegesagt jetzt keine Klassiker, die man unbedingt gesehen haben muss."

[7.0] "A Go-Home show that works well with that function, but in general it was an irregular show that started good with LA Knight and Roman Reigns final face-off, then downgraded with a disappointing Theory vs Owens, got worse with a burial to the Tag Team Champions because Charlotte was the opponent, and I'm sure this is not going to lead to a Title match at all, which makes it worse, then we had the weigh-in, which was cool and has sense given that Logan Paul is that kind of mainstream star that does this kind of stuff and he comes from having some pro-boxing fights. A well worked segment, but too short and too straight to the point. It would've been better if they built some more tension into it. Then, Cena and Solo face off was perfectly booked. Solo shutting Paul E. down was awesome as he tells him he just wants to talk to Cena face to face, and just tells him that by order of Roman Reigns he gives him the chance to say goodbye to the fans. Solo doesn't have to cut elaborated promos, he is a straight up ice cold killer and what he said was perfect, as well as John Cena killing him in 90 seconds, much, much better than kissing the crowd's ass. Then, both the Donnybrook match and the Main Event were really great TV matches, and that's how those kind of matches should be treated like. There is no urgency to go for a 5 star banger, but let them build something that goes beyond the average match, try to make those matches memorable in some way possible. I'm not going to forget how back and forth the Donnybrook was and how surprisingly good the Main Event was. This is the way to go, this is what weekly shows should be."

[5.0] "The first hour of this show was dreadful but the second hour was much better, it definitely felt like a filler episode because nothing happenned and there was a lot of time waisted. The womens tag match was baffling and Cena exposing Solo was counterproductive . Overall a decent and very skippable go home show"

[7.0] "The show was better than most in recent weeks. The opening promo was great, but I wouldn't say I liked the one with Cena & Solo. I'm intrigued by the possibility of B-Fab joining Bobby Lashley & The Street Profits. The Weigh-in segment with Logan Paul & Rey Mysterio was ridiculous and contributed nothing to the story. As for the in-ring quality, as usual, it had its ups and downs. Ko vs. Theory was decent; I love the new KO. He added a lighter layer to his already great in-ring work. The Women's Tag Team match was disappointing; It was too short, Shotzi barely got her opportunity, while Charlotte had all the spotlight. The Men's Tag Team match was pretty good, and the pub motive was entertaining. The main event was great; I loved that Damage CTRL was left out of the match. Both Bianca & Bayley are future HOFers, and rightfully so!"

[6.0] "A mixed show with the main event and Donnybrook match both being solid. Some questionable booking such as Charlotte near single-handedly running through Chelsea Green and Piper Niven as well as the kind of shots that Cena took at Solo Sikoa that seemed more counterproductive than productive. A show that felt like an obligation to fill time as the build to Crown Jewel has largely already been completed and I did not feel that this show really did a lot to add toward it. The opening segment with Roman and Knight did show that they have more of a chemistry on the mic and was among the best highlights of the show. 5.5"

[7.0] "This was a solid show for a Smackdown. Knight's promo was enjoyable and both the Brutes/Deadly and the main event delivered. Didn't overstay its welcome but also didn't blow the roof off. Despite being taped, the quality was significantly higher and the crowd stayed hot enough for two shows straight. Women's tag was a lowlight, unfortunately, and Theory/Owens was just bland. Seeing Carlito/Lashley booked for next week made me laugh. Is it 2007?"
