[5.0] "**.75 These tapings were so rough to watch at this time but I definitely understood it for the wrestlers to get the holidays off with their families, decent match nothing special here"
[5.0] "The match was decent, but it felt overly long. One thing I'm now certain of: Solo's Samoan Spike as an in-ring finisher often leaves matches feeling anticlimactic. While I understand that Solo uses the Samoan Spike as a tribute to his uncle Umaga, the move simply doesn't deliver the impact you'd expect from a main event-caliber finisher. That said, Nakamura's interference was perfectly timed and added some much-needed excitement."
[5.0] "The match wasn't bad, but this went far too long for what it was and it didn't offer anything to make it engaging for that long at all. It went from more to less, and that commercial break killed much of the momentum of the match. It ended up being pretty dull and boring despite the good bits offered mainly by Apollo, Andrade, Tama and Jacob. It would've been far better they kept this at 5-7 minutes and went straight to the point, which was giving Solo some momentum towards Tribal Combat. I don't understand Shinsuke Nakamura's interference here from a kayfabe standpoint. It makes me believe they're going to give Knight the title back after Nakamura is done against Ulka Sasaki in NOAH, and I can understand that, but it just doesn't make sense the champion that got to stand over Knight keeps pursuing him instead of being the other way around. Lazy and lame writing right there (** 3/4)"
[6.0] "A fairly solid match to kick things off here. The trio of Knight, Andrade, and Crews is a little random, but worked well enough here. I'm glad The Bloodline won, though, and without a Disqualification finish at that. They needed a win after losing at Survivor Series. While this isn't a huge one, it's still something."
[6.0] "An extended TV 6-man, this strolls towards something genuinely enjoyable. In terms of action, Andrade and Apollo do the heavy lifting, while Knight's popularity keeps the tired crowd at least somewhat engaged. The Bloodline mostly colour inside the lines opposite them, with Fatu unsurprisingly leading the way. The result is a pretty cosy piece of television, neatly navigating the runtime. ***"
[6.0] "Andrade, Apollo Crews & LA Knight vs. Jacob Fatu, Solo Sikoa & Tama Tonga was a good match. Crews still looks sharp even though he barely wrestles. Andrade & Fatu were good here as well."
[5.0] "A six-man tag team match that felt pretty random, following an interference last week. The match delivered the bare minimum and didn't bring anything special to the table."
[7.0] "Solid match. Pretty competitive. Solid tag team work by both teams. Solid stratagem in the beginning for Andrade, Crews & Knight. Impressive athleticism by Crews. Solid technique by all six combatants in the ring. Some innovative offense by the Bloodline with the assisted Hot Shot by Fatu and Sokoa."
[5.0] "A match that felt longer than it needed to as well as one sided. It worked in giving Solo a win going into his upcoming match with Roman while also doing more with Nakamura/LA Knight but the match wasn't the most exciting still."
[5.0] "Thought this was an okay match. Felt like it went too long. Andrade and Apollo Crews both should great athleticism and impressive offense. Shinsuke interference keeps the LA Knight and Shinsuke feud alive. Match to try and build up the new bloodline after their wargames"
[4.0] "I suppose Solo Sikoa has to be kept strong before his Tribal Conflict match on Netflix against Roman Reigns, but after that, the focus should really be on Jacob Fatu. This went on far longer than it needed to, probably time killing on a taped show."
