Well, opener was fantastic, I Quit match eventually had its highlights, ending was incredible. ... Rest of it existed, except the Strap Match which I refuse to acknowledge.
I'll give it a 5 mostly since in-between feels like a very appropriate descriptor for it and while parts of it were frustrating on the whole I don't regret watching it.

Opening match was incredible, last 10 minutes of Finn vs. Edge were interesting and Bray's return was cool. I was let down by just about everything else, which sucks because I thought the card looked great. I'll still go with a 7 just for those three things.

8. Strap match was awful and I am beyond sick of Little Miss Transphobic Conspiracy Nut Ronda on my screen, but everything else was excellent.

4/10 - great opener but the rest of the card let me down a bit with two matches just being bad.

A 5. Opening match was great, Fight Pit was okay, The Judgement Day stood tall, but the women's stuff was dire. Especially the ladder match. Damage CTRL is completely f***ing toast as a group, and in the case of Iyo and Dakota, their careers are pretty much done for after how badly Bianca buried them tonight.

10 is high because there was some meh but that return was one of the coolest things I've seen.

6
Opening was a banger. The 2 matches after were meh with Liv/Ronda being a sloppy brawl. Bianca won clean I am fine with it. Finn vs JD is a hot feud still. Main event was boring but big pop for ending

I’ll give it an 8/10:
The Opening match was freaking awesome. Imperium vs. Brawling Brutes are the perfect opponents for each other. And Sheamus getting mega over as a babyface in 2022 is awesome to see. Her and Gunther deserve major props for putting on TWO brutal stiff matches in the span of 24 hours.
I feel like the Women’s Division took a step backwards booking wise tonight. I liked that Liv was protected a bit in a loss. But this entire story made her look bad, especially as a babyface. And now we have super OOP Ronda as champ again (potentially until Mania), and aside from Raquel no one on SD feels like a real threat to her. She’s already destroyed them all. Just a bad call imo.
Drew vs. Kross. Look both guys really tried. And the match was perfectly solid. But there was just no heat for it. And Triple H has put so much into trying to make Kross feel like a huge star, but it does not seem to be working. And poor Drew, it feels like his momentum has really stalled after losing to Roman in the UK.
Bianca vs. Bianca was a good match. But same problem here as on SD. Damage CTRL is basically buried now. Bianca took them out 3 on 1 by herself (poor Asuka and Alexa, they were beaten up for nothing, Bianca did not need their help after all). Why should we take them seriously now? Also you have another super OOP champion who has already run through most of the division and who no one (aside from maybe Rhea) feels like a threat to.
And if this is just leading to Charlotte and Becky title matches AGAIN at Mania, that will really be a waste.
The I Quit Match was awesome. Especially the closing bit. Judgment Day have nuclear heat and got put over hard here. They HAVE to do Rhea vs. Beth now (and Rhea takes the belt from Bianca as well). Just fantastic all around.
The ME was fun. I feel like it lacked the underground fight club vibes of the NXT ones. But it was still a fun match.
That ending though, WOW!! Everything about that was handled perfectly and it was genuinely creepy. And that pop Bray got from the fans, just WOW!! Brilliantly done with that.

Some things hit, some things didn’t, 7 seems about right.

I was let down by just about everything else, which sucks because I thought the card looked great. I'll still go with a 7 just for those three things. This sums it up for me. I want to go higher due to Bray returning, but the card looked so solid on paper, and didn't deliver like it could have. That being said I am fully expecting when Bianca faces Rhea that Belair will single-handedly fight off the entire Judgment Day, and still win. |

I voted 8 but I want to change it to a 7, just because it was pretty much a letdown considering the card.
Best match was the opener.
Liv versus Ronda was sloppy but still entertaining. Bad decision having Liv lose.
Strap match wasn't good.
Ladder match was really good. Shame Bayley lost but I love Bianca, too.
Edge versus Finn was boring at first, but it definitely picked up.
Main event was really good. And seeing Bray back was a great moment.

I went with an 8.
I liked something about every match.
The opening match was def the match of the night tho. Love all 6 of these guys.
Liv/Rhonda was a little clunky and I don't think Rhonda needs the belt.
Drew vs Kross started hot and had a good ending. I like Kross.
Bianca vs Bayley was ok. It did feel a bit "spot A, now spot B". But I love superman booking. Thats how a top star SHOULD be booked.
Edge vs Finn started slow. But those last 15 minutes or so was top notch story telling.
Riddle vs Seth was fun. I liked it. I think it actually felt a little short. Loved DC and Riddle needs more big wins.
The ending was AMAZING. I legit cried happy tears seeing one of my all time favorites return. Go Bray!
So... yea. 8. Overall another great show.

I give it a solid eight because aside from the strap match and the seemingly abrupt ending of the Seth Rollins vs. Matt Riddle "Fight Pit" match (which I assume was due to a potential injury), I was into every other match on the card. The "Good Old Fashioned Donnybrook Match" was some good old fashioned fun that the crowd was hot for, I'm glad Liv Morgan didn't get "Bayley'd" in her "Extreme Rules" match against Rhonda Rousey, as she gave as much as she received and even though the ending was divisive... I kindly liked the idea of her laughing until she passed out, instead of outright giving up.
As for the "Ladder Match" between Bianca BeLair and Bayley, there was a part of me that expected for us to see the return of Sasha Banks and Naomi considering they were playing up that BeLair had no backup (what with Asuka and Alexa Bliss being take out by Damage Control on Raw), but the match itself was fine and Finn Balor vs. Edge felt like "Attitude Era" crash television that may have went on a few minutes too long, but was also a lot of fun and solidified the Prince as the top heel on Raw.
And the reintroduction of Bray Wyatt was peak sports entertainment, and proof why no one can truly compete with the WWE in terms of that aspect of professional wrestling. My only concern about Wyatt is the same concern I have with him, he's highly creative and superb at character development, but he's just never been able to back it up in the ring and that's why I've always felt like he's best suited as a special attraction.
Overall, there was only one true dud of a match on the show, so it's easily an eight-out-of-ten event for me.

6/10. Some really good like the Donnybrook, Bayley/Bianca, and Edge/Finn (though the latter two had problems). Some lackluster like Ronda/Liv and a disappointing Fight Pit. That Strap Match was one of the worst of the year tho.

Go with a 6. The problem with thremed ppv is they get very boring quickly. I think had it been a standard show with one or two stipulations it would have worked better

Trios match was incredible, as was Bray's return. Bianca vs Bayley was fine but I was expecting better. Wasn't into Seth vs Riddle or Edge vs Finn at all though they weren't necessarily bad. Liv vs Ronda and Kross vs Drew were both bad in different ways - the former sloppy and awkward, the latter slow and plodding. One excellent match, one good if disappointing match, two decent matches and two bad matches. Would be a 5/10 but I went with a 6 because Bray's return was dope.

Found it boring for the most part.
Bray coming back is cool, "creepy" music for 10 mins followed by him doing nothing was eh
5/10

Six feels right for me; where it was good, it was really good, but unfortunately where it was good manifested as a really good brawl, a pretty good ladder match, half an I Quit match, and the Bray stuff. When it was good, it was really good. When it wasn't, it was a drag. I'll give the extreme rules match that it wasn't a boring mess, but it was still a mess.
