[7.0] "there was a nice flow to this match honestly. Nike of the matches particularly had outstanding storys going into it but almost every match delivered and i wasnt let down by any match. I feel like i didnt neither enjoy or less enjoy this show from the night i watched it live. Real fun chill show though"

[7.0] "A good show overall with one standout match. New Day vs The Club was the best tag title match in ages, which unfortunately ended right when it was picking up (**3/4), TJP/Kendrick was alright (**1/2), Cesaro/Sheamus put on a fantastic hard hitting match together (****), Jericho/Zayn was a fun match (***1/2), Bayley/Charlottes/Sasha was a very good triple threat (***1/2), Reigns/Rusev was disappointing (**3/4), and Rollins/Owens put on a good match that ended badly and perhaps went on too long. (***1/2)."

[7.0] "Pretty energetic opener, everything in this match make sense. ***1/4. Good cruiserweight championship match. TJP was faster and stronger, so The Brian Kendrick needed outsmarted him. Then Kendrick started work over TJP neck but it lead nowhere and end of the match there was unnecessarily wasted Kendrick's finisher. ***1/4. Cesaro vs Sheamus #7 was really good move-fest with unsatisfied ending, ***1/2. Jericho vs Zayn is my pick for MOTN. They told a good story, ***3/4. Reigns vs Rusev was a fight between two hard-hitters, which sometimes felt boring but satisfying, ***1/4. Main Event was worst match of the night, disappointment is the word that can describe it, **3/4. I think that this was enjoyable show where wasn't great matches but every match (except the main event) was good."

[8.0] "Really good show . The only match that was not very good was the pre show match which was bad . Some iffy finishes but the in ring was enjoyable up and down the card . Announcing was terrible but that is expected . Matches worth watching : all of them aside from the pre show match and my top match was Cesaro vs. Sheamus ."

[4.0] "Hated this pay per view. Not a single clear winner especially for a match that was becoming epic ending in a no contest."

[4.0] "Because WWE has very little confidence in and really only sees returns in about a half-dozen people on its roster (Cena/Roman/Steph/HHH/Brock) it recycles ideas and fosters the same schtick because people are too hooked into the spectacle to depart. Ex-president C Coolidge has a very famous quote - "The chief business of the US is business, " and that to me is the aesthetic of WWE. Always keep these five strong as they are the pillars of the business. Prior to his victory in the Fatal 4 Way, I was a KO supporter. Now how can I support a man, granted a heel, who's propped up by two guys, HHH/Y2J, to sustain his run/heat? It's funny... I thought the best match of the night was perhaps the only good match The New Day/Doc-Anderson have had aired. Sure it was less than seven minutes but I actually bought early-on that there would be a title switch. Anderson hits a running Liger bomb, Doc has taken out the other ND members... and I was pumped for an unexpected twist. But because KA did not immediately and gleefully tag Doc in, my hopes for something unexpected dwindled. Regarding the cruiserweights, I can't stand when well-connected individuals who have been given tons of chances to succeed and don't, get yet another at the expense of younger talent. So F-U Kendrick, and your HBK/D Bryan relationships. It's ironic b/c this is the cruiserweight division and yet theirs was the only match w/out any high spots. Isn't the 'WOW' factor one of the major reasons this division exists? !"

[5.0] "Not a great ppv, very average with no match being really good with sheamus vs cesaro and the main event being the only things close. Honestly quite a boring show with nothing must see on, not worth the time to watch really, the definition of average."

[5.0] "This show reminded me of Wrestlemania 32 a lot in that the ring action was good but the booking let the show and most of the matches down to a disappointing degree. Has to say that sums up Raw in general. New Day/Club was enjoyable enough, though still frustrating to see the Club continuously looking like jokes (***1/4), TJP Vs Kendrick was OK, honestly expected better (**3/4), although Kendrick's heel turn was a great moment, Cesaro/Sheamus was a hard hitting brawl unfortunately hampered by the overkill of seeing these two wrestle every week and the stupid finish (***1/4), Chris Jericho Vs Sami Zayn was meh, Sami tried but Jericho was just dreadful and dragged it down (**), women's triple threat was good, with all three women making a really good effort, but once again the finish was terrible and the match booking made Bayley look like a complete weakling (***1/4), Roman/Rusev was average at best (**1/2) and the main event between Owens and Rollins was unfortunately disappointing, expected much better from these two (**1/2)"

[10.0] "Being there live I was enjoying this a ton and was worth everything and more. For me MOTN was Cesaro/Sheamus (****1/4) while my least favorite match of the night was the Women's 3 way as that was just disappointing in my book for what could've been a show stealer. Enjoyed the card from top to bottom and some of the matches really surprised me for how good they were like Y2J/Zayn (***3/4) & Roman/Rusev (****). Overall this was probably one of the better shows that I've seen this year."

[6.0] "While every match was good, nothing was great and every match felt the same. Also the ending to Cesaro vs Sheaamus was bs."

[6.0] "Was ok for most of the time, New Day vs The Club was ok **1/2, Perkins vs Kendrick was dissapoiting ***, Cesaro vs Sheamus was incredible, i really liked it and the whole series was good ****, Zayn vs Jericho was ok ***1/2, the triple threat was tough to rate, i don't know if was good or really bad, but i will give a ***3/4, Roman vs Rusev was ok too ***1/2, and Rollins vs Owens was good ***3/4, was a overall ok event, not that good, but not bad either."

[5.0] "While the "New Era's" first Smackdown-exclusive PPV, Backlash, was a surprisingly strong show, its inaugural Raw counterpart was somewhat more dull. Match quality was generally solid and often very good, but the same kind of poor booking that plagued this year's WrestleMania and SummerSlam returned here. While I don't necessarily have a problem with Jericho going over Zayn, it should've been a dirty win so there's a reason for them to continue feuding to gradually build Zayn up to challenging his eternal rival for the Universal Title. Gallows and Anderson are effectively buried at this point; they needed a win to regain some shred of credibility, while the New Day have essentially outgrown the Tag Titles and don't need them any more. Roman Reigns is not only still rejected by the crowd, but his persona has openly become a heel at this point, yet the company still seems baffled that he's not getting face reactions. The inconclusive result of the Cesaro vs. Sheamus series, which has already worn out its welcome, left much to be desired. The show was saved by a very entertaining main event, with KO's trash talk taking center stage, and a strong Women's Title three-way match."

[6.0] "All in all, there was a few good matches, but looking at the bigger picture, I fear Raw has a problem with the roster they have at the moment. It seems too many superstars are content with just being alright, and don't go the extra mile to entertain the audience watching live or on tv!"

[6.0] "A show much like this year's Wrestlemania, in which none of the matches were bad (or even below-average), but nothing was blow-away great, and the booking took a shit on the whole show. The 500th New Day/Club match was hot out of the gate and delivered a good little tag match in which the faces won via interference and basically confirmed that The Club are not going to be tag champs for a while, if ever (**3/4). Perkins vs Kendrick was massively disappointing considering TJ's performance at the CWC Finale and Kendrick being the most impressive of all 32 CWC entrants; TJP looked really nervous, considering this was his first match in front of what was likely close to 10k people, and it showed in his work; Kendrick was amazing as always, however (***1/4). Cesaro vs Sheamus was trending to be even more amazing than the NoC match two years ago this month, but then the medical stoppage, followed by not even having them brawl after the bell (which the crowd would've gone BALLISTIC for) was horseshit (***3/4). Jericho vs Zayn was an alright match, as a veteran vs a top talent like Zayn should be at a minimum, but Y2J winning clean is just perplexing (***). The Women's 3-Way was solid action throughout, with some weird booking foibles like Dana not interfering as much as she logically could've, and Bayley being pinned off of a BIG BOOT (***1/4). Reigns vs Rusev dragged on some and outside of Lana's interference played out exactly as you'd expect; good match though (***1/4). The main event didn't have any interest going into it, and just felt like a long match between the two, although the pacing was decent enough. The story revolved around who gets to be HHH's bitch, and I guess they told that well, up until the dumb ref bump into interference into a finish that made it all about fucking Steph; the work between Seth and KO was quite good though, and the heeling of Owens was top-tier (***1/2). Perhaps a better in-ring show than Backlash overall, but a much, much worse event"

[7.0] "Well my network stream was complete trash so I can't accurately grade the first 2 matches. From what I saw the tag was enjoyable and the Cruiserweight one was sloppy but enjoyable as well. Cesaro vs Sheamus was incredible. They have such great chemistry and on a big stage they deliver. I thought Cesaro ended his career on that suicide dive. The non ending though was annoying ****1/4. Zayn vs Jericho was really good. Some nice sequences and very fun action ***3/4.   Women's triple threat was great. Sloppy but that doesn't take away from the match for me. Fun stuff ****. Rusev vs Reigns was fine. I never really got into it enough to enjoy it, seems like the crowd didn't either. Definitely underwhelmed. Like Reigns vs HHH, this was built up to be a brawl and it's been dissapointingly dull. Reigns is a fantastic workers, but in all honestly he's been completley boring me lately. This picked up at the end which boosts the grade, but overall it was not that fun **3/4. Rollins vs KO was a great match. After such a dragging show it was hard to get into at first but these guys made it entertaining quick. It did turn very messy at the end which hurts the grade but sets up a better match down the line ***1/2. You'd think with a card like this this would be a show of the year contender but unfortunatley not. This show had some excellent matches but what holds it down is some awful booking throughout that leaves a sour taste. The show also really felt like it dragged on. As a whole, while it may not have had better in ring action, I found Backlash more enjoyable. Still a good show"

[6.0] "New Day Vs Club **3/4. TJP Vs Brian Kendrick ***1/4. Cesaro Vs Sheamus ****1/4. Chris Jericho Vs Sami Zayn ****. Charlotte Vs Bayley Vs Sasha Banks **1/2. Roman Reigns Vs Rusev ***. Kevin Owens Vs Seth Rollins **. This was a decent show. The first four matches of this show were very good but the last three were disappointing."

[10.0] "I thought that this PPV was fantastic! The opening tag match was really good, really perfectly put together for The New Day & The Club (***1/2), TJP/Kendrick was also real good, TJP got to showcase his stuff & Kendrick was solid in his role (***1/2), Cesaro & Sheamus went all out in their last match in this Best of 7 series, really good match (***3/4), Jericho/Zayn was way better than I expected, easily Jericho's best match since the Neville match in Japan (***1/2), I loved the Women's Triple Threat; it was just very well laid together, good storytelling & great action from start to finish (****1/2), Rusev/Reigns was also really good, probably the match Rusev has had so far in his career (***1/2), I have read lots of negative reports & reviews about the main event - but I loved it. I thought that Owens & Rollins put on a great, great match (****). Overall Clash of Champions gets a BIG thumbs up! Amazing show."

[5.0] "New Day vs The Club (**1/2) TJ vs Kendrick (***1/4) Cesaro vs Sheamus (***3/4 MOTN) Jericho vs Zayn (**3/4) Banks vs Charlotte vs Bayley (***1/2) Reigns vs Rusev (***) Owens vs Rusev (***1/2) Ok show, nothing more this."
