Bob Kapur of the professional wrestling section of the Canadian Online Explorer rated the show a 7 out of 10, which was lower than the 8 out of 10 given to the 2007 edition by Chris Sokol.

[1][2][25] Canadian Online Explorer writer Bob Kapur rated the entire event a 7 out of 10,[24] which was lower than the 8 out of 10 given to the 2007 edition by Chris Sokol.

He stated that "a confusing, overbooked fustercluck" main event, such as the one at Victory Road, "can leave a bad taste in your mouth after it’s over, even if everything else was pretty solid."

Kapur gave the main event a 3 out of 10, while the Full Metal Mayhem match and the World Tag Team Championship both received a 7 out of 10.

As for the final round, Keller commented that "it had some spectacular (and ridiculously dangerous looking) spots," but that it ended up "feeling short for a match of that caliber.

As for the World X Cup, Caldwell stated that the third round bout was "entertaining yet quite long" and that the "crowd was super into Sabin and Shelley."

The final round was seen by Caldwell as "one of those rinse and repeat spot fest matches until Kaz busted out the big double foot stomp on Daivari that popped the crowd."

On the July 17 episode of Impact, Management Director Jim Cornette demanded that Booker T give the championship back to Joe, who was recognized as the official champion by TNA.

Booker T refused this demand, while Joe also declined the offer as he felt he did not deserve to hold the title due to being pinned at the event.

Due to these feelings, Cornette instead scheduled a rematch between the two for the championship at TNA's next PPV event Hard Justice on August 10.

This bout was announced on the July 31 episode of Impact!, when Styles challenged Angle to a match at Hard Justice to end their rivalry.

On the July 31 episode of Impact!, Beer Money Incorporated defeated Cage and Rhino to become the number one contenders to the TNA World Tag Team Championship.
