I thought this was a great PLE. Lots of fun, solid matches and then a great main event. Really happy Cody, Jey and IYO won (and that she pinned Charlotte).
I'll give it a 9 but would've been a 10 if Shinsuke won.

9. Another breezy WWE PLE. We’ve honestly been spoiled because both companies have been delivering big time events.

Legit a 10. Nothing to complain about.

Honestly a 3. I watched the first hour with Collision, but even still there was so much padding and dead air the entire show that it was painful (I think there was maybe 90 minutes of matches in a 3 hour show?). And the opening tag was solid/the women's match was fine, but everything else kinda stunk.
If it weren't for the tag match title change, it might be the most forgettable PPV in a non-COVID era in like 10 years.

Final score: 8
Went with a 7 as the matches were good but nothing blew me away, added a point for a hot crowd and another point for decent booking (tag title change, Iyo retaining and both having storyline development) and took a point away for that ghastly "vroom" sound effect - who came up with that? You're supposed to grow out of vroom vroom sounds by the age of four for heaven's sake!

4 and not because of nakamura completely blowing it at the end, this was a pretty boring show and is a fair rating compared to how excellent WWE PPVs have been for a while now.
most of the matches were really boring but had a couple minutes near the finish that was exciting. one match was very good but had an absolute ass finish that makes zero sense. big disappointment with how good WWE's monthly shows have been and hopefully a one off.

6 cause even Cena couldn't have overcame the amount of odds that Seth did...

Didn't watch, but feels like the opinions here have been much more mixed on the PLEs lately.

Hmmmmm...
The opening match with Cody and Jey winning the tag titles was good. Carlito appearing was cool. Iyo and Asuka were trying to have a good match, but local Charlotte ruined everything. Charlotte really ruined that match with her excessive Charlotteing. Her taking the pin didn't make up for the rest of it. The Cena and LA Knight match was kind of boring until the very end. Seth vs Nakamura was really good, but the ending was so dumb it sucked the enjoyment out of it. Shin murdered him and then Seth just gets up and wins. If he's going to do that, he at least needs a Hulk-up animation.
This PLE was a 4

Which is gonna make the betrayl all the more hurtful because IYO leaping into her arms is so adorable....KAIRI come save your bestie and reunite the true friendship.

Someone needs to show Iyo what Bayley did to Sasha a few years ago.

I had a long day and decided it wasn't worth staying awake to watch and it sounds like that was probably a good call.

6/10:
The matches were all solid. But some questionable booking choices/storytelling.
-make a big deal out of Bloodline and JD forming an alliance. Then they don’t help each other at all here tonight.
-Charlotte being booked like superwoman once again in her match.
-Having Lashley and Street Profits already losing.
-Seth going full Super-Cena. Seriously the guy with a bad back was basically invincible here. Nakamura did everything short of running him over with a tank and Seth STILL won, and Nak had to stay down for something far less impressive. It REALLY did not line up with the story they have been telling.

9, relly enjoyed it.
Womens match was great and glad Carlito is back!
Think it was right to have Seth win, keep him strong for Punk's return.

Jey and Cody winning the tag titles was dumb. You bring Jey over to be a singles main event guy, and then put him in another tag team, and give that makeshift tag team the gold.
LWO vs. Lashley/Street Profits was okay, but felt like a Raw match. Never really cared for Carlito so that didn't do anything for me.
Women's title match was MOTN. But the downside is at first I was glad Charlotte ate the pin, but then realized that Asuka was tapping, and the announcers made sure to make a point of that. So Asuka looks like a loser again while Charlotte probably gets a rematch at Survivor Series.
I fast forwarded the Cena/Knight match b/c I didn't care. I love LA Knight, and glad he's getting the rub, but I don't need to see John Cena in 2023. And facing Solo and Jimmmy...nah...outcome was telegraphed from space.
The main event was okay, but I'm beyond over Rollins as champion. No reason Nakamura couldn't have won this one.
4.
Purely for Iyo retaining. Outside of that this was a boring show with some very bad booking.

Went with a 5. For a 3 hour show last night felt long to me, were there more (and longer) ad breaks than usual? It also seemed like most if not all of the matches could have been a few minutes shorter. I will give them credit for having Priest work a knee injury to set up the bit in the back where the rest of JD talks him out of cashing in the contract because they knew that the main event wasn't going to end anywhere near the ring.

Nothing standout spectacular, but going with all popular winners didn’t do no harm.
