[5.0] "Fine episode overall, the in ring stuff wasn't really that much but the story lines are good here, no way out is the next week and the build to it is satisfying for me. The main event was the match of the show (duh) other were skip-able in my opinion nothing really important here other than the triple h and Austin build and rock and Kurt is also an interesting story, Stephanie and Trish is unsurprisingly interesting in terms of storytelling. They really builded for the show (no way out 2001) so damn well."

[10.0] "This was a fantastic go home show for No Way Out and there was a lot of entertaining things going on throughout the show to set up the PPV and it just had a bit of everything I would ever want to see on an episode of Raw. The Kurt Angle sit down interview was passionate and showed his match with The Rock should not be a forgone conclusion. Steph had a brief catfight with Trish and then later calls her out, only for Austin to show up and give her a stunner with Triple H coming out beside himself with rage. Fantastic segment. Edge and Christian setting up the Dudleys, Undertaker and Kane was fantastic where they lure Undertaker into an ambush from the Dudleys with a misunderstanding over Taker's bike and then Kane gets laid out with the Con-Chair-To. Jericho is about as fair a referee as I was playing the old SmackDown games. The Lita vs Malenko storyline finally finished here where Matt Hardy ends up saving Lita because Malenko tries to use a chair and they end up starting a romance. RTC get a lot of heat because of their actions towards The Kat where they ambush the APA at a nightclub and then later take her to the ring. Richards promos was fantastic through all of this, but Jerry Lawler's reasons for saving The Kat was because he wanted her to get naked instead of just common decency, so that was the only really bad moment of the show for me. The main event was fantastic with the added tension with the zero tolerance Austin and Triple H storyline really coming into play and then Austin and Rock stare down after they won."

[10.0] "For me it was perfect edition of raw. A lot of different content. Love story, cat fight, parking lot brawls. hardcore title match, some classic matches. All storylines were perfectly developed. Good job!"

[8.0] "Kurt Angle had a solid sit-down interview explaining how his days as champion weren't numbered. Stephanie wanting to kill Trish any chance she gets is hilarious. The segment where Edge & Christian set up the Dudleys, and brothers of destruction was probably my favorite of the night Main event was a great match to close the show with the 2 big PPV matches ending in a stare-off. Great go-home show"
