[6.0] "Slightly above average show. A fresh start after a disappointing SummerSlam with new stories beginning and some others having their second chapters. The opener was amazing, MOTN, and one of the best of the year in a TV show, with the right winner. We have some individual character development for Ludwig Kaiser (poor Vinci left behind. Guy is as good as Kaiser and they don't let him try some character work). Miz vs Knight segment was nice, the fire test for the Megastar to hold himself against one of the best talkers in the company, and he did a really good job. The start of the JD McDonagh story with the Judgment Day and the ongoing tensions between Bálor and Priest, Cody and Rollins not forgetting of the past despite being on the same side, Shinsuke Nakamura playing the role of the mastermind so well and inserting himself in the World Title picture. So many promising stories right there. On the wrestling side, apart from the great opener, the rest of the matches were your typical weekly matches, with a Main Event more focused on developing two stories than the wrestling itself."

[6.0] "Was an ok episode, few to many backstage segments and recaps while a wrestler is standing in the ring waiting for my liking on this episode. I swear Becky was standing there through the commercial break plus a recap as well as the segment between Kaiser and Dupri...like come on man"

[8.0] "This was a fairly classic episode of Raw, but it was well structured, enjoyable and fun. A good start with Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins who are always good on the mic and Judgement Day who show that they are the top Heels on the show. A very good and fun first Fatal Four Way match. The middle of the show was classic and enjoyable, and I thought the matches were decent. The confrontation between LA Knight and The Miz starts off with a good promo and has a lot of potential for the future. The structure of the episode which leads into th main event with some well set up events. I'm glad JD McDonagh is starting to make a little space for himself near Judgement Day. Finally, the main event 6-man match is becoming a Raw tradition, but it's still enjoyable and Nakamura's turn opens up a new rivalry. I'm looking forward to the next few weeks."

[7.0] "Alright show , this had some good focus on the matches . The opener was a fun contest with everyone playing their part , Chad winning is the right call as Gunther vs Gable should be really good. Worst match was Shayna vs Zoey which was expected given the talent involved. La Knight and the Miz was the most entertaining segment promo wise , a lot of good insults. Miz calling La Knight a attitude era cosplayer was funny. Match ratings Fatal four way 7/10, Nakamura vs Reed 7/10 , Shayna vs Zoey 3/10, Ludwig vs Otis 4/10 , New Day vs Viking Raiders 7/10, Main event six man tag 7/10."

"A great show, I liked the way new stars got more screen time, I also like the way the intercontinental title is being presented, Hunter is doing a great job in that regard. I feel like this tour was exactly what Nakamura needed to get another title match in WWE. This rivalry will be very interesting. I also like the way they are Introducing the Ludwig Kaiser over the last few weeks, it looks like a Singles push is coming."

[7.0] "Good show, but hopefully with Nakamura turning we can get Seth away from the Judgement Day as it feels like he's been feuding with them forever, and plus he's already beaten Finn 3x already. The opening match and the main event were the two best matches of the show, and good. The New Day returning was nice to see, and there's also a strong promo segment between Miz and Knight"

[10.0] "More then a good show, an fantastic and stupendous show really fun to watch i finally didnt get bored while watching it, the Whole Chad Gable was wonderful and honestly he is the most underrated one of the roster he deserves more screen time, genuinely a great Raw where I can't find too many lazy booking simply sensational."

[8.0] "This was a great show, probably one of the best of the year in WWE... they created some great feuds there and directed a lot of things. The matches were pretty good too considering it's a Raw. I think it was an awesome way to kick off new stories after the SummerSlam."

[8.0] "A good show overall, full of fights and where there was a great promo between The Miz and LA Knight, big things are coming for them. On the other hand, I liked the first fight and it was definitely the best for me in the whole show. I would also like to emphasize that The Judgment Day is being overused for nothing, I mean, when they do some storyline it's ok, but when it's just for the sake of it, it's boring and tiring. Maybe these are the last weeks or months of this faction, I don't know, they are capable of disintegrating them. For the rest, a more than decent show and for what SummerSlam left it was pretty good."

[8.0] "The Character development on this weeks Raw was fantastic. LA Knight and THe miz had a great promo battle. JD McDonagh is finally doing something. Finn and Priest's segments were good, The Sami take out was done well, Shinsuke's heel turn was awesome as was the return of New Day. A Real fun Raw."

[10.0] "I loved this Raw honestly, it's not the greatest Raw of all time or even of this era not even close this was just genuinely a great Raw where I can't find too many flaws. The opening 4-way match was AMAZING, absolutely fun and entertaining that's how every Raw match should be. Reminded me of a lot of the bangers Triple H used to give us on NXT TV. Chad Gable is mega over now been a long time coming. The Miz/LA Knight segment was similarly amazing and the type of promos we should be getting weekly. The New Day returning was a very nice surprise which surprises is something WWE have been lacking lately. Kaiser, Maxxine and Otis stuff was fun been a while since we've had a love angle on the show. The Cody, Seth, Sami/Judgment Day stuff was fine at first, it's more of the same but the element of JD McDonagh and Shinsuke Nakamura thrown it made it interesting this week. Nakamura vs Seth program should be banging. Becky and Shayna stuff was okay, kinda felt like it's the second hour of Raw we have to have women on the show now which is my only major criticism tonight but im just glad they're not forgetting about Shayna after SummerSlam so I hope they continue her push from here. Overall a successful Raw after SummerSlam definitely better than the Raw after Mania that's for sure."

"Excellent show to get back on track after a SummerSlam that left a bad taste in some people's mouths. Almost every match had above average in-ring action, especially the opener and main event. The New Day return was a great moment, Knight/Miz was done well although Miz got the better of Knight IMO which I don't think was the intention. And lastly, Cole and Barrett for 3 hours was insanely easier to listen to than Kevin Patrick and Corey Graves."

[8.0] "After a lacklustre Summerslam, this was a refreshing RAW. Was it one of the best? No, but it was entertaining and mixed things up a bit in places, while staying on stale paths in others. Great to see Alpha Academy featuring more and building on their feud with Imperium, and setting up another Gable v Gunther banger. The LA Knight and Mix segment was good and there was a swerve or too as well. Match quality was a bit of a mixed bag, but pretty good overall. I had low expectations, but was pleasantly surprised."
Heartbreakkid2003 wrote on 08.08.2023:
"8.0 Pretty damn good show served kind of as a new and fresh start after summerslam. With some returns like indi Candice and the new day. While also starting new feuds Such as La knight vs Miz, shin vs seth and also Shayna Vs Becky. Good in ring action mainly the opener and the Main event I hope they keep it up."
VINCEoWrestling wrote on 08.08.2023:
[7.0] "A very good RAW once again and one that puts Summerslam in total obscurity as if this PLE had never existed. Too bad a TOP PLE isn't as good as it used to be. The content of the weeklies in general is great even if some stuff is below par but the continuity is there."

[6.0] "This show wasn't so good, the first segment was the same as ever with Cody that replace KO, we got for the third time the same match between Bronson Reed and Shinsuke (I hope that is the last) and Becky Lynch in the segment between Shayna and Zoey Stark was unbearable, and the same main event with the Judgment Day. This apart there were a lot of interesting choices like: Candice LaRae and Indi with Rachel Rodriguez (and an intersting brawl between Candice and Rhea Ripley), JD that injuried Sami Zayn in the backstage, LA Knight vs The Miz (best segment of the night probably) and the turn heel of Shinsuke on Seth. I think that if the narrative construction will go well, the next episodes can be incredible."
Eli Knight wrote on 08.08.2023:
"Can't actually rate but I would give this show a 10/10. The fatal four way was spectacular and I'm glad Chad Gable won to start a feud between Imperium and Alpha Academy. Shinsuke vs Bronson Reed was probably the best match they've had together and I'm glad the feud moved on finally. Shayna vs Zoey was a great match to start off her single run by herself now, she might have a feud with Becky in the future. Ludwig vs Otis was just to set even more anger towards each group. I'm glad Kofi is back and Xavier as well, their match with the Viking Raiders was decent and I hope to see them as future tag team champions. The main event was also great and I'm very pleased that Shinsuke turned on Seth to set up a great and entertaining feud that I was hoping to happen. I see a potential rivalry between The Miz and LA Knight which I hope doesn't last that long because I hope to see LA Knight as the next US champion. Raquel and Rhea definitely need a match at Payback and I hope Becky vs Trish ends up there. This was without a doubt one of the best RAW shows of the year, can't wait for Smackdown."

[9.0] "Best Raw of the year, the 4 way was a banger, GABLE WON, and New Day returned, the match should have been longer but that was fun, the main event was the typical Raw 6-man tag, and the Nakamura/Bronson match was solid, Baszler/Stark was solid, JD finally re-appeared on Raw, great brawl with Raquel/Ripley and Candice/Indi returning, Miz/Knight was a fantastic segment, Miz went back to classic 2016 fiery Miz which is brilliant. A fantastic Triple H style Raw that felt like Black and Gold NXT."
Dune wrote on 08.08.2023:
[8.0] "Best Raw in a long time. It had everything a weekly show should: storyline advancement, worthwhile matches, some surprises and twists. Seeing Knight on Raw was definitely the highlight, as it's been awhile a promo battle caught my eye, and Miz seriously came at him. I hope his push continues, because despite Knight clearly needing to work on timing and delivery, he's more over than almost every other guy on the roster. Massive props for putting someone else in that samey Main Event combination we've been seeing for 2 months straight. Hope that means we can see some more variation in the coming weeks. Great show!"

[9.0] "It's the perfect Raw. Match quality was something we're not used to see in a WWE weekly. Almost every segment or match helped the build up. Every title scene was showcased and every storyline progressed. Opening segment was good, Rollins interrupting Cody, Judgment Day trying to steal the spotlight, Balor attacking Rollins alone. Everything in this segment made sense. Four Way IC Contenders match was fun to watch. Women's division in Raw is finally liven up. Surprisingly a segment involving Shayna and Zoey talking was watchable, Women's title picture is getting hot with Candice and Indi kinda in it too. Kaiser trying to seduce Maxxine took care of the comedy side of the show and I want too see this again. Having New Day back is almost awesome. Tag Team division is exploding and when Owens is hurt, Sami is in something else and also now hurt. I don't know what they're thinking by not stripping them off the titles and seperate as WWE and World Tag Team Titles. War between LA Knight and The Miz was one of the most entertaining things in this show and Knight up to overcome Miz on the mic and making it realistic really helped the Megastar for his Main Event push. Match Quality : 8/10. Segments : 8/10. Build-ups : 10/10. Effectivenes of the Roster also 10/10."

[6.0] "The fatal 4 way match was good, the winner makes sense, however, from a kayfabe standpoint, 3 of the 4 participants kinda had no rights to be in that match in the first place. I mean, Ricochet just lost at Summerslam. Tommaso Ciampa lost his last three singles matches. Matt Riddle lost his two last singles matches and one of those losses was against the current Intercontinental Champion's sidekick. So, how these guys get a chance at a Championship ? Bronson Reed loses way too often, I don't care how many finishers it takes to beat him they are turning him into just another big guy, he should've won the US title at the Elimination Chamber PPV to give him some accolades, as of now he hasn't done anything outside randomly attacking people and lose when it matters. It's cool to see Nakamura getting some wins tho, but it sucks that it will leads to absolutely nothing, they will turn him heel and he will job just like in 2018 against AJ Styles, which means he will be just another geek heel after his feud with Rollins. I'm curious to see where that Shayna storyline goes. I couldn't care less about the New Day, especially when the Viking Raiders are back to being jobbers after winning that awesome Viking Rules match a couple weeks ago."

[9.0] "I aint giving a 10/10 to nothing until Orton returns. But yeah this was the best Raw episode under triple h. Even the main event match didnt feel forced. We finally got a long womens match (11 min or so), just wish that we could introduce them more weekly. The opener was a banger although it shouldve lasted longer than 10 min so we could get some more cool spots, and Otis vs Ludwig Kaizer was also shortened too much. I hope this is the renewal of the weekly shows and the creation of new storylines that we should have got after Mania (4 MONTHS LATE)."

"Best RAW so far this year! Better than the SummerSlam! An amazing match given by Chad/Riddle/Ricochet/Ciampaa, rated 5 star promo from Miz and LA Knight(love la knight but what the Miz said is fact, cant wait to enjoy their match BTW)! The New Day's surprising return(you should do that on SummerSlam)! I demand all of you to watch the show right now if you read this comment!"
