Eight, the Women's Championship match was a disappointment, same with Corbin and Crews. I really didn't like Balor's back paint and thought the entrance was the weakest one he's done. Other than that, the show was awesome.

6. It was pretty mediocre overall, but the main event was great. Losing Sasha, Owens, Tyler, Charlotte, Neville, and Becky is really hurting these specials in combination with Sami and Hideo being out injured.

If Brooklyn was a 10, this was an 8. That's not an insult either. I loved it.

8 sounds about right. A good opener, two decent undercard matches, and two stellar main events.

Great show, enjoyed every match. Have little complaints about any of the booking decisions.

A perfect 10! 10 10 10 10 10! Not just biased because I was there live

Seven. All the matches were strong, everything made sense, but there weren't as many HIGH highs as the best Takeovers- for better or worse. The highest high of the night was the Bayley/Jax match- and even that had that question of "was it the right decision or not?" where you could honestly go either way.

I liked the first two matches the best. Kind of sagged for me in the middle of the show. Liked the women's title match, thought the main event was solid but far from spectacular -- probably because so far I just can't get invested in Balor to the point that I care what happens in his matches.

Corbin/Crews dragged it down a bit for me. Fine showing overall though. Was surprised by some wrestlers like Emma too. Bayley is my heart. Joe is a beast. LOVED Balor's paint and outfit.
Using MGH's "Brooklyn is a 10" sliding scale I'll say 7.5 but round up to an 8. UK needs more big shows.

I gave it 8. Asuka/Emma, Dawson/Wilder/Enzo/Big Cass and Bayley/Jax were pretty damn good in different ways, while Corbin/Crews was a little underwhelming. Haven't seen Balor/Joe yet.

I could give it a strong 8. Maybe a soft 9. Either way it was a very enjoyable show.

8.
Corbin's match was dull and and I wasn't totally into the tag title match but no "bad matches".

5 just because my favorite tag team lost. It took me out of the show.

Definitely an 8. Corbin vs. Crews was eh, and Nia Jax vs. Bayley was alright (though still far better than anything on the main shows), but it was still a great show.

Probably a 6.5 or a 7. It was a surprisingly underwhelming Takeover. Not that it's an insult - Takeover has been consistently the best special or pay-per-view since its inception - it's just that something felt off tonight.
There was no reason for Emma vs. Asuka to be the overbooked cluster that it became. The Tag Team Championship match was OK but a lot of wind was taken out of my sails when Dawson and Wilder retained their titles, as they've felt like the most transitional of transitional champions. Baron Corbin and Apollo Crews had a perfectly passable match. Nia Jax and Bayley was a good underdog vs. monster match but that's about it. The NXT Championship match was the only one I think met or exceeded my expectations.

I absolutely despised the end to Joe/Balor and hate the Demon Balor bullshit even more which drags it down to about a 7 or 8. Other than that I seriously loved every bit of this card.
