["Evil Brood" Jackson Vanik]

6 - mainly for the great moment at the end but the rest was forgettable or stupid.

[tagteammatchplaya]

Madcap Moss played WWE 2K23 on Smackdown, amazing, 10

[Gus Richlen Was Wrong]

Was way more interested in Fairleigh Dickinson making history than SD but Sami and KO finally coming together thanks to Cody "Uh, My Only Comeback Is I'm Gonna Win!" Rhodes was nice. 6?

[asuka007]

8/10:

Cody Rhodes, relationship counselor. Yeah after this, The Bloodline need to fall at Mania imo.

Liv getting a match at Mania is a no brainer, she’s earned it. I hope the winner’s of both tag matches at Mania get title shots.

The Mixed tag match was fun. Rhea was bumping like a boss for Zelina. And the latter got to show off more than usual.

Rhea’s promo was, odd. Calling herself “not a star” and acting like she hadn’t accomplished anything and basically kissing Charlotte’s ass. It REALLY didn’t fit her character imo. And Charlotte’s was just meh in general. However the brawl was quite fun. Rhea HAD BETTER win at Mania.

LA Knight is awesome.

Drew vs. Sheamus is always great. And the Mania match should be EPIC!!

[msc]

Had to give it a ten for that ending, things actually happening and Michael Cole knocking it out of the park.

[The Rick Jericho]

This was a pretty good show all in all. Nothing really dragged any everything really had meaning.

8/10.

[Bang Bang Bart]

10 for the ending, and the Rhea/Charlotte feud finally heating up.

[schizo]

10!

That pop alone when Owens hugged Sami was worth it. wow!

[Super Duper Dragunov]

Barely watched (clips online), but not only was that pop when they hugged great, but can we take a minute to appreciate Jey's acting chops.

He doesn't have to say anything, and can emote his anger and anguish so well. He's playing "someone conflicted" amazingly.

[Fade]

I thought all the drama was really well done. It’s great to see LA knight get his roses. Yeah, he lost, but he’s clearly over and if rumors are to be believed, they’re gonna push him hard.

Like 8.5? For me

I can’t wait for the singles push but I’m also telling myself to enjoy this run. What most impressed me was his ability to draw off the audience (like Roman’s kind of been mastering tbh) “I am ucey!..*whack*”

[chronocross]

7/10, enjoyed the ongoing Bloodline vs. Cody, Sami and KO storyline and the ending segment was entertaining. It seems like they're planting seeds of Jey turning on Roman as he didn't deny what Sami said about not getting to use the chair on Roman first.

I also liked the Drew/Sheamus match even if it was predictable that they would make it a triple-threat.

I wish they would make the Rey/Dom match official already though I feel like they will wait all the way until the night before Mania.

Didn't really care for the rest of the show.

[Celgress]

8 out of 10, IMHO.
