[8.0] "Good episode of Raw which really stood out because of the incredible Angle vs Austin main event. It's honestly one of the best matches in the shows history as the performances from both guys was fantastic, but the smoking gun was Triple H returning right as Austin was about to win the title and he left him in a bloody heap when he hits him in the head with a lead pipe and JR is just gold as he's absolutely livid! Elsewhere there was a fun storyline where The Rock had to team with two referees because of his actions on SmackDown and that was more enjoyable than it should have been. I laughed so much at the E&C segment where they bring out fake Dudley parents and the Dudleys come out and just beat the crap out of the importers and put the fake mom through a table. It was just so funny. The Hardys cant even with Malenko anymore when he (and the camera man) stalked Lita while she was in the shower and beat the crap out of him backstage and do a vicious spot where they wrap his leg around a table leg and smash it with a chair. Please let that be the end of that storyline!"

[5.0] "My Rating for this show is a five, a pretty forgettable show with two good segments and one good match, the main event. Honestly i was bored with this show it took me a bit to finish it there was nothing that grabbed my attention or made me want to continue. I enjoyed the Edge and Christian segment with the Dudley Family quite a bit and was the second best segment following the Rocks promo. Main event match was good i enjoyed it Triple H return was great he looks like a beast, glad hes back."

[7.0] "Pretty standard and uneventful Raw, other than the main event. After two taped shows due to the holidays, I expected more from this one but at least the final 20-30 minutes were excellent. Best Raw main event in months."

[7.0] "The crowd was hotter than usual resulting in a fun show. The strong points in this episode was clearly the main event between Austin and Angle, the segment afterwards with Triple H costing Austin the gold"

[7.0] "Quite good edition of raw. I'm not impressed by Roch/Steph storyline, at that point also Radicalz/Hardys also wasn't that interesting but still it was much better than nitro. Return of HHH was unexpected but at the same time it was hilarious + he has a new theme."

[7.0] "Overall I found this episode to be pretty good the only match worth watching throughout the upside though in my opinion would be the main event as during this time I think it's clear to see that with WWE's weekly TV shows they are by far moral leaning into the entertainment aspect of professional wrestling as opposed to the actual sport of professional wrestling but overall I'm very enjoyable show my opinion"
