Starkz attempted another swanton bomb, but Athena moved out of the way and hit a forearm smash, but couldn't make the cover.

[17] Mike Malkasian of Wrestling Headlines gave the overall show a 9/10, stating "that the pay-per-view was fantastic from top to bottom.

The only issue was that it dragged to long"[18] Phil Wheat of Nerdly gave the show a 3.5 out of 5, stating that "No matter what you think about this iteration of Ring of Honor, you can't deny that Tony Khan can put together a decent PPV – as he does for every pay-per-view, no matter the brand – and this year's Final Battle was no exception.

This is not meant to take credit away as this would have been a solid final PPV of the year if Worlds End didn't exist".
