[8.0] "Really good episode of RAW. First, there's the show revolving around if Austin will be reinstated by the board of directors. Austin shows up and has some good segments. Second, is the main event match between HHH and Shawn Michaels. They showed various clips of Michaels winning leading up to the main event. The match itself, a classic, possibly the best match in the history of RAW. Randy sets up a match with Booker that ends with interference by Kane."

[8.0] "This might have been a fairly average show, but the outstanding Triple H vs Shawn Michaels main event really does make it a better 2003 episodes of Raw in my opinion. I enjoyed it almost as much as their Summerslam 02 masterpiece and the drama with the fans in Michaels home town invested in every near fall. A must see match that takes up a big portion of the episode. Other than that, the Stone Cold Steve Austin storyline is a good hook for the show and even though the ending of the show made the Survivor Series stipulation kinda pointless, it was good having him back as the "sheriff" on a show that has been dominated by heel heavy booking, and it sure as hell beats watching Mick Foley being a coward on the last show. Jericho's face turn is still progressing quite well and most of the matches are fairly adequate with not a lot standing out besides the main event. The main event is too good for me not to recommend the show overall though."

[6.0] "The main story thread throughout the show was if the board was going to let Austin back in or not, which gave the show a decent storyline to follow. The other stuff here is pretty meh, but the main event was great, and the Austin story was worth following so this was a decent show."

[6.0] "This was a one match show, but this match was the best on Raw the entire year and it lasted half an hour, and the rest of the show, while very skippable, didn't have any booking issues or anything stupid, so it gets a good score."

[6.0] "Alright episode, obviously the best match is the title match which takes up a huge chunk of the show. None of the other matches are too notable but you do have the fun story thread of whether Austin will be allowed to return or not. Probably wouldn't strongly recommend the show overall but some fun stuff to see."
