[5.0] "I have the feeling that the absence of the top guys and Becky kind of hurt the episode. The go-home show feel lacked a bit because of that. The emphasis was put more on the Tag Titles and it was Okay, though nothing out of the ordinary. The wedding at the end lifted the show from below average to average in my view. Still, not a very promising go-home RAW. It felt like the built up for Day 1 picked last week and this show was just there."
[7.0] "Overall I really enjoyed this episode had to fast forward through some of the boring stuff but the promos and matches were good and I loved the ending segment so overall a very solid show in my opinion."
"Overall, this was not the worst Raw I have seen but still wasn't good. Match of the night was Street Profits vs The Mysterios in the Finals of the RK-Bro Tournament and AJ Styles vs Apollo Crews was right behind it. Besides that, if you missed the show it is not a big deal, due to the amount of wrestlers that were missing due to Covid. Show Rating: 5/10"
[2.0] "Horrible episode of Raw. Most of it was unnecessary segments that didn't add a lot to Day 1. The matches were between bad to horrible. The only good thing was Aj Vs Apollo. Otis loosing also didn't sit well with me, Weeks of build up only to end up loosing in a weak episode of Raw. The US Title match was horrible and pointless, both Priest and Ziggler looked stupid. I was also not a fan of the main event segment, I didn't really find it amusing. Overalll , a horrible episode of Raw and one of the worst episode if not the worst episode of Raw this particular year(2021)."
[2.0] "So, this event was hit by covid meaning it needed to be restructured at short notice. Unfortunately they did a terrible job of it. RK-Bro had a decent story, but they spoiled that by not having decent length matches. The 24/7 nonsense spilled over into a completely unnecessary mixed tag match, the tournament match was sloppy, and they brought in Eric Bischoff for no earthly reason. KO did a good promo but again the match was unnecessarily short. The US title match was hurt by a stupid ending. Basically, an almost complete failure of a show, and they can't blame Covid for not bothering to use the talent that wa there properly."
[7.0] "I don't get the hate for this episode. Amidst the outrage of COVID, they put the leftover pieces together and had a decent showing. The tag match and Styles vs Crews were really good while Owens and Gable had a very good time with the mic. The US title match was a disappointment and Riddle vs Gable would've been as magnificent as Bálor vs Gable from a few weeks earlier if given proper time. The main segment between Edge & Miz might have a varied opinion but I really like how Edge brought the "brood" side of things here to bring the REAL personal uplift in their feud. I'm a sucker for that gimmick since SummerSlam."
[1.0] "An awful show and just a waste of time, we see 15 minutes of ridiculous snooze events before the us title match, but the match itself ends in 10 minutes!"
[4.0] "Much filling, however I was surprised that they gave so much promos to the fight for the Universal Championship, they forget that that title comes from SmackDown. There is not much to say, fights like the first two were a full-blown fan service, maximum filling of the 24/7 Team of Dana Brooke & Reggie, a fairly quick and uninteresting fight between Kevin Owens and Cedric Alexander, good, they are 3 hours that are long, there are people who settle for any shit."
[4.0] "Three hours of absolutely nothing the matches were dull, the promos were dull. No wonder Raw's rating keep dropping when they put on programming that just wastes people's time nothing here at all worth watching."
[4.0] "This wasn't a good show, but I understand WWE was working with a roster severely limited due to COVID issues, so I will cut them a bit of slack here. Orton and Riddle promo was a fun way to start the show. The proceeding Riddle/Gable and Orton/Otis matches were both fine but could have been so much more with more time. The mixed tag was harmless fun involving some undercard wrestlers. Tournament final was really good and match of the night. Styles promo with Waller was fine, as was his match with Crews. Owens and MVP had a fun segment and The Hurt Business interacting with MVP was logical, I just wish their allegiance was more consistent. The following match was a simple way to get Owens some momentum ahead of a big match. US title match was fine but had a terrible finish. It has since been announced that Ziggler will get another shot at the belt, this time in a match where if Priest gets DQed or counted out he loses the belt, and god do I hope it happens. Sure, Ziggler is ice cold, but Priest needs to go back to his old gimmick before it's too late. Wedding angle was fine, Edge finally gets to stand tall in this feud, which means he's totally losing on Saturday. Not a good show but almost none of the big stars were available, so I understand it this week. Day 1 will hopefully go on without any changes."
