[6.0] "L'épisode amorce clairement le face turn de Seth Rollins, en vue de son affrontement contre Kevin Owens à Clash of Champions. C'est une évolution logique au regard des événements de la semaine précédente. En revanche, l'absence de Triple H est regrettable, et l'implication forcée de Roman Reigns dans cette rivalité alourdit inutilement le tableau. Le retour de Sasha Banks est une excellente nouvelle. Elle vient rééquilibrer la dynamique autour de Bayley face à Charlotte Flair et Dana Brooke, ce qui densifie enfin la division féminine de RAW. Pour le reste, c'est particulièrement faible. Les segments impliquant Bo Dallas, Braun Strowman, Nia Jax, The New Day vs The Club, Titus O'Neil vs Darren Young ou encore The Shining Stars vs Enzo & Cass n'apportent rien de significatif. L'ensemble donne une impression de remplissage qui étire le show sans réelle valeur ajoutée. Heureusement, certains matchs relèvent le niveau : Chris Jericho vs Seth Rollins, Sheamus vs Cesaro et Kevin Owens vs Sami Zayn sont solides et agréables à suivre. Sans eux, l'épisode aurait été franchement pénible."

[4.0] "There were three really good matches on this show, but a ton of squashes and filler and the Old Day segment was absolutely terrible."

"Charlotte/Bayley: Re-visit some Charlotte's heel work while she was on Raw and i thought she was excellent at her job. The way she put her character work into the match was very good here. The leg target was basic psychology but it worked well. Her top heel work was absolutely great getting boos and making crowd cheer for Bayley. I don't discredit Bayley as she was good at playing babyface role here for sure. She sold the left leg well. Match was a bit short and the finish was kind of lame but overall good TV stuff ***1/4."

[5.0] "A halfway decent show as there was nutrition even in the sorriest of segments... and there were a lot. The geek who played 'Xavier' took the most wicked ropes bump in trying to get his sorry ass out of the ring; dude had a rough night as his hair wouldn't even allow him to properly speak. If Bailey/C'lotte told the same story in two less minutes maybe there would be more buzz, but the squash-nature of it maintains B's underdog character in the stature of someone who is 'genetically superior. ' Is WWE going belly-up on Dana as she's becoming Raw's new favorite whipping girl. Another funny at the females was how white trash the get-up was of Nia's opponent... oh no, the tops was Alicia's kleenex throwing breakdown that climaxed with the most raw moment of her career: the viciousness and the obliviousness that boxes slashed on facial bones could hurt. Did anyone see that she jumped out of character for a second as she too was like 'that s**t looked like it hurt. ' And Nia admirably no-sold it. Assuming Cesaro comes back in the best-of-seven, WWE's attempt to play off of the tried-and-true trope of the perservering babyface may get lost in all the clutter that is in this junk. But with Sami's injury getting in the way of with victory, it appears that in the office's eyes, vanilla yet mega-talented babyfaces' achilles heel is actually their own body. Then again, with Bob Holly trunks, a somber voice and an all too earnest spirit, why would getting behind S Zayn be cool?"

[4.0] "This show had more filler than vending machine food and more squash than a vegetable garden. Rollins vs Jericho was pretty good and so was Charlotte vs Bailey and Owens vs Zayn. Parts of Sasha fake retirement segment was okay, she did cut a decent promo. The rest as I said was filler and squash matches which is why I'm glad I recorded this show so I could waste my Tuesday morning fast-forwarding through most of it. I may just get the match results from the good folks at this site and not bother watching Raw anymore. Besides better booking, the folks that run Raw might want to consider cutting the show back to 2 hours to eliminate the need for some of the filler."

[2.0] "Besides the opening segment and parts of the main event. Absolutely nothing happened besides the revelation that next week Reigns has a chance to enter himself into a match between Owens and Rollins at Clash of Champions (which was spoiled days beforehand). Not a fan of fake retirement angles as they are pretty meaningless, but Sasha did well in her promo. Nia squashed someone. Nobody cares. Bo Dallas squashed someone. Nobody cares. Braun Strowman beat Sin Cara by count out (in a poorly booked squash). And still nobody cares. Speaking of nobody caring: Darren Young beat Jinder Mahal in a, you guessed it, squash match! NOBODY FUCKING CARES! Oh, if you like really bad television, do yourself a favour and watch The Old Day segment. It is perhaps the worst segment of the year in perhaps the worst feud of the year. The Rollins/Jericho and Owens/Zayn matches were decent, but nothing special and nothing to go out of your way to watch. If not for the opening segment this may have very well have been the worst raw of 2016."

[5.0] "It's not a terrible episode, there are two good matches. Kevin Owens and Seth Rollins have a strong opening promo, and Rollins vs Jericho is perfect for Raw. Owens vs Zayn is not as epic as other of their matches, but it's always enjoyable. Cesaro vs Sheamus is the lowest point, the best of seven series is already annoying. There are some squatches and the three hours are too many to handle this time. Still it could have been worse."

[5.0] "2 exciting matches, the rest filled with filler. I love to have KO as champ but tonight just wasn't a good night for him after his amazing championship victory."

[6.0] "If we forget that The Old Day skit and the Titus O'Neil and Darren Young feud exists, then this was a cracking episode of Monday Night RAW. With those two things, as well as lacklustre crowd, then it's still closer to good than it is average. Whilst not having Triple H appear on the show seemed like miscue, there were three good matches at the top of the card, with Owens v Zayn, Jericho v Rollins and Bayley v Charlotte all scrapping it out to become match of the night, as well as a strong storytelling bout in Cesaro and Sheamus' Best of Seven Series on the undercard as well! Add to that a red-hot opening segment as Owens celebrated his title, as well as the Sasha Banks promo and you've got over an hour of good to great wrestling television! (RAW's run-time is around two and a quarter hours without ad-breaks)"

[5.0] "I don't know why but I enjoyed this Raw for some reason. I might be crazy. Wasn't the best show WWE has done, by far. Some matches were pretty good, others were pretty bad. This Raw was nothing spectacular. WWE barely capitalized on Kevin Owens win last week."

[4.0] "You blew it, guys. You fuckin' blew it. WWE had a golden opportunity to capitalize on the intrigue of last week's ending, and while they started out strong with great opening segments and a fun match between Bayley and Charlotte, they lost their way halfway through with awful segment after awful segment. This episode above all others proves that Vince's sense of humor and formulaic booking have no place in the "new era"."

[4.0] "There were three good matches. The opener, Rollins and Jericho, and the main event. In between that, there was a lot of junk."

[2.0] "Really bad show, Main event and Rollins v Jericho was good. Bayley v Charlotte and opening segment was ok. The rest was really horrible, squashes everywhere and Old Day segment was cringeworthy. Not recommended Show"

[5.0] "The good on this show was pretty good, but the bad was very bad. The opening segment and the drama between Rollins, Foley, and Stephanie is one of the more intriguing and multilayered stories WWE has had in a while, though it was strange Triple H didn't appear at all to explain himself. Bayley vs. Charlotte, Owens vs. Sami, and Rollins vs. Jericho in particular were fine matches. Sasha Banks cut one of her better promos in a while and definitely had quite a few people worked, and it's good to know she's ready to return. Then on the other hand, you had the dreadful Gallows and Anderson/New Day skit, a dreadful misfire that dragged on for far too long. Following that up with the dreadful Darren and Titus feud did not help with the recovery from that one. And finally, this week we ended up with three squash matches- Bo Dallas got no reaction for his, but at least his intensity is a new direction. Nia Jax and Alicia Fox is not an intriguing feud, but it makes sense to build Nia by starting to give her opponents with credibility. In summary, the brand split has made it clearer than ever how three hour Raws are such a handicap for WWE. Hopefully the Cruiserweights can make this show more fun to watch- they can't come soon enough."

[5.0] "Most of this show was filler. The three squash matches were way too many for one show. The New Day and The Club segment was bad. Owens Vs Zayn and Rollins Vs Jericho were both **** matches. Those two matches were pretty much the best thing about this Raw. I almost forgot about Roman Reigns and his stupid ass until he had to come out. 5/10."
