Not a perfect show - didn't see the opening so can't really speak for that but the main event while good felt like it ended right as it was hitting the next gear - but I still very much enjoyed it, will give it a 9. Very, very bored of Bron's reign but he can bring it in the ring.

I'd say 8 - very solid show. Last 3 matches were really good.

I'd say about an 8.5. Main event's ending was a bit abrupt, but the show was good stuff on a whole and had fun character work to go along with the strong wrestling throughout.

9 sounds about right. Just a fun show with good action all around.

[Chiral]

Iron Survivor matches being actually amazing is like the swerve of the year. Let HBK and co. come up with more match types plz

A 9/10:

Both Iron Matches massively over delivered. And both had proper winners.

Now Roxanne NEEDS to take the title from Mandy. It’s time.

Alba vs. Isla was very fun. Isla has so much potential if they book her right. I feel like Alba is perfect for the MR as well.

The tag title match was very fun. And New Day sticking around in NXT for awhile is intriguing.

The Main Event was very solid.

I gave it a 10 I was entertained for the whole show. I'm an HBK mark tho he can do no wrong to me. Now back to playing 2K22 where I see I need to unlock him with his long hair in the Rey Mysterio showcase. I love beating everybody with him but it's not the same with short hair.

This was my first exposure to NXT 2.0 and damn I felt it was the perfect blend of good in-ring action and over the top goofy pro wrestling tomfoolery. I really need to watch more

8 from me

I thought Kiana James had a breakout performance in the women's match. Roxanne winning was the correct call, though, and she SHOULD be beating Mandy.

Isla vs. Alba was fun and the ending was so goofy I couldn't even hate it. I liked Isla's vibe when I saw her in NXT UK, but thought her in ring work was so-so. She's actually pretty good now.

New Day vs. Pretty Deadly felt like a house show match, which was a good thing.

JD getting shut out made me happy. f*** that guy.

Apollo vs. Bron was whatever. I just can't get into Bron at all, even though those fishing vignettes are at least unintentionally funny.

Yes, watch it. It's my favorite weekly wrestling show. There's a big emphasis on characters, there's a lot of storylines going on away from titles (in particular in the women's division), good in-ring action, and it's good in-ring action that doesn't drag. Seriously, it's not these 2 are gonna have a 15 to 20 minute match for no reason that just drags. The 15 to 20 minute matches are reserved for big matches like the main event, title matches or ones that have a build up (see Axiom vs Nathan Frazier's match 3 in their best of 3 series).

I gave it a 7. Both Iron Survivor matches delivered especially the mens and had the right winners. I really liked how smart they made Waller look with how good his strategy was.

Isla and Alba was really good. Isla seems like the real deal. Great presentation and she's really good in the ring as well. I can see the finish not being everyone's cup of tea with them pulling a page out of the Papa Shango playbook but I like hokey stuff in my wrestling so I didn't mind it.

I'm tired of New Day. On one hand this is at least something different but on the other I don't want them bogging down my favorite show.
Bron and Apollo was kind of flat and the finish was really abrupt.

[Legion]

Solid 8.

Excellent Iron Survivor matches, the men's especially so, a fine title match and the Isla/Fyre match was a good story progressor, but then lost points for New Day winning. Booker called that exactly right.

[Celgress]

8 out of 10, IMHO.
