[6.0] "This was an average episode. Opening match was good. The main event scene revolves around Earl Hebner."

[6.0] "Fairly solid episode, some fun short matches including Jericho/Benoit which pretty much always hits. I am sick to death of handicap matches so the main event doesn't really do it for me, though I appreciate that they mixed it up a little at least."

[6.0] "It's an okay episode of SmackDown, which put to an end to Earl Hebner's involvement in the main event storyline where he is written off TV when Triple H pedigrees him on a steel chair while a bunch of faces run out way too late. Eh. I can see why this part of the storyline needed to end so I get what they was going for, but the execution could have been better is the main event is a carbon copy of other handicap matches we've been seeing and with fresh turns from Big Show and the Dudley Boyz, they just looked a bit too ineffective. There's a pretty good Jericho vs Benoit match at the beginning of the show and while there wasn't a lot I could say was special here, it was a watchable episode where most of the matches was fine and things are still advancing from the last Raw event."

[5.0] "This show was ok there's a good Benoit/Jericho match but everything is meh, it's watchable but not anything you'd recommend to someone"

[5.0] "Not a great episode this week. Good opener from Benoit and Jericho, but besides that this was stuffed with filler and a lot of pointless melodrama surrounding Earl Hebner."
