[7.0] "Premier RAW avec un roster pleinement distinct depuis le brand split. J'étais curieux de voir la direction prise, même si je suis moins attaché à cette équipe que celle de SmackDown. L'épisode débute malheureusement par l'annonce de la blessure de Finn Bálor, un coup dur pour la brand. En réponse, la WWE met en place une série de matchs qualificatifs particulièrement réussis. Seth Rollins, Kevin Owens, Big Cass et Roman Reigns décrochent leur place. On retrouve ainsi les piliers de RAW, à l'exception notable de Big Cass qui incarne la surprise de la soirée. La hiérarchie est globalement respectée, et ce tournoi constitue le véritable fil rouge de l'épisode. En revanche, je suis moins convaincu par les rivalités annexes : The New Day vs The Club, Charlotte Flair vs Bayley, Titus O'Neil vs Darren Young, sans oublier les squashs répétitifs de Braun Strowman. Ces segments peinent à susciter un réel intérêt. Malgré cela, l'épisode reste agréable à suivre. Et surtout, bonne retraite aux Dudley Boyz !"

[6.0] "Honestly, this show is like the textbook definition of a 6.5 show in that the matches themselves were actually really solid. Even the Braun squash and the Bayley/Dana match were fine enough. Hell, I would've taken an extra minute or two on Karl Anderson vs Big E. However, what kills the show's chance at getting a 7 are the promo segments. The laughably awful Titus promo plus a Dudley Boyz sendoff that was given two minutes too much (that G&A attack was super unnecessary) just made things feel like they were needing to fill time more than actually tell any stories."

[4.0] "Raw is Talk featured a tournament to earn a spot in a 4 way to become new Universal champ next week . With matches becoming more and more bump/stunt based constant injuries are the reality . 3 of the matches where entertaining . Almost nothing else on the show was . Titus needs mic time ? Matches worth watching : Sami Zayn vs. Seth Rollins , Kevin Owens vs. Neville and my top match was Chris Jericho vs. Roman Reigns ."

[8.0] "Good SummerSlam fallout show, had good qualifying matches and reacted well to the Finn Balor injury."

[7.0] "Seth Rollins Vs Sami Zayn ****1/2. Kevin Owens Vs Neville ***. Big E Vs Karl Anderson *. Big Cass Vs Rusev DUD. Bayley Vs Dana Brooke *. Braun Strowman Vs Johnny Knockout DUD. Roman Reigns Vs Chris Jericho ***1/2. Best Raw since the first episode of the draft. Three really good matches here. Big Cass beating Rusev sucks so badly. I am also so glad Finn got injured. He wouldn't have done anything with that crappy belt anyways."

[6.0] "The situation about the Universal Title is interesting, but the first four matches aren't that good, I expected some suprises (well, there is Big Cass in the final four), the rest is predictable. The debut of Bailey is a classic moment, Roman Reigns vs Chris Jericho the best match of the night. Nothing really serious happens here, but it works as a construction episode for the next week."

[7.0] "A good, but not outstanding show. I know with having to throw things together last minute that it can be a hard road, but all things considered, this wasn't bad."

[7.0] "A better show than usual because of the unique nature of the show. Poor Finn but this only adds substitive evidence to Bret Hart's claim that S Rollins is reckless in the ring. S Zayn (with currently the most unhip nickname in the biz, ) worked an excellent match against SR though I did not buy the 'injury' for a single moment. Two of the other qualifying match-ups were also quality in that the main was booked with enough twists to not get an 'eww' moan from me and Owens/Neville are so spectacularly talented and familiar with each other that it might be impossible for their dynamic to not entertain me. Big Cass/Rusev... ewwww! In other news: 'The Club' are not over, Titus needs JBL in-the-ring with him during one of his 'promos' as T is so smooth jibing at the bullying Texan on commentary but utterly uncomfortable when center-stage with noone to work off of, Bailey's debut went over as well as could be hoped, who wrote Johnny Knockout's lines? ... the dude playing him didn't sell them at all."

[6.0] "This show was decent. There were good things and bad things about this show. The good things were: KO vs Neville, Bayley's debut, Seth Rollins' after match promo, and JeriKO's backstage promo. The bad things were Sami Zayn being buried, Cesaro and Sheamus not being in action, Titus O'Neil's segment, and the awful ending to the show with Roman Reigns being booked like a god. I hate Roman Reigns."
