Reception

Josiah MacDonald, while reviewing the show for Wrestling Observer Newsletter, called it " an excellent PPV from the NWA".[3] In Jason Powell's review for pro wrestling dot net, stated that it "was a really fun show. They found the right balance between in-ring action and promos that works for them, and they saved the two best matches and the big surprise for the end of the night to close things on a high note." He described the NWA National Championship match as "The best match of the night thus far. Cabana and Starks worked well together, and Stevens continues to be laugh out loud funny" and for the main event commented that "the main event was good." but also stated, "I wasn’t a fan of the third fall finish."[4]

The Cage Side Seats review referred to the show as "a mighty fine show" but then remarked "One critique is that there were too many tricky finishes with shenanigans. It also didn’t feel like any feuds were settled". The review mentioned Eli Drake vs. Ken Anderson as the match of the night with Cabana/Steves/Starks as the runner up.[5] The overall rating from 411mania reviewer gave the show a 7 out of 10, with the last two matches of the show rated at 3.5 stars out of 5. As part of his review he stated that it was "a strong PPV from the company, staying true to the formula laid out with Power".[6]
