[1.0] "This was the epitome of filler episodes, all because somebody seriously thought booking a DQ in Hell In A Cell was a great idea. The only good part of this show was the women's tag match, as the rest was just ridiculously boring."

[5.0] "I recommend the Kabuki Warriors v The Champs tag match that was really good. Vikings v RooDoplh and the brawl between Braun and Fury was alright. Everything else was average at best. I'd say there wasn't a segment that was awful on its own merit"

[7.0] "I get that people are surfing on a wave on discontent, but I really do not see how this show as such a low rating. There were definitive weak points, such as the huge amount of recaps from Hell In A Cell that got tedious, and the Lana/Lashhley affair story that is just sleazy and ridiculous to see unfold, but otherwise I liked a lot of things here and thought the show was fine. For the second night in a row, the first match stole the show, as Lacey Evans proprably had her best performance ever, being clean and focused, playing her character with nuance and delivering an entertaining methodical beatdown on Natalya who herself showed resilience and generated sympathy, up to a very cool ending that completely surpassed my expectations and stole the show. Most other matches where average, filling their time well but not being overly memorable, which I think is fine for TV, and I thought the Women Tag Team Match was cool and Apollo/Ricochet was fun while it lasted. I don't care much for the Fury/Braun issue, but they sold it well and injected a lot of animosity. This is an average and perfectly fine TV show in my opinion, with a great Last Woman Standing Match that gives it replay value, I think it is being judge harshly."

[2.0] "wow i didn't think WWE could put on a more boring, dull, lame, generic and bland show than their debut with smackdown on fox but boy did they prove me wrong. This show was the definition of filler, they ignored the fallout from the abysmal hell in a cell ending and gave us a D tier show with nothing of value. If you want something to watch on this show watch Charlotte and Becky vs. Asuk and Kairi it's the only match worth your time. as for the end brawl between Brauna nd Fury holy crap was that hilarious, gave me a good chuckle."

[3.0] "Like Hell in a Cell the lack of quality in ring action leaves booking and promos to make up most of the rating. Last man standing matches are generally dull unless there is blood or inventive use of the arena. Watching Evans roll Natalya into various barricades got tired very quickly. The final spot was edited so fans couldn't see the crashmat, which meant we couldn't see the impact. The tag match was far too long and again showed us nothing we hadn't seen recently. Black's new submission looked good and is a welcome addition to his kick only offence, Eric Young or EC3 would have been a far better opponent. The OC really have gone downhill, AJ needs to be split at draft, but that doesn't look like happening. Kabuki Warriors were very strong and showed just what nonsense it has been keeping them away from the ring. A really surprising result, which was undone immediately by having Alexa and Nikki beat them down. Ricochet v Crews was very disappointing. On paper it is the perfect match for Crews to show his strengths, but again he didn't meet expectations. Fury and Strowman was quite pathetic and WWE resorting to bringing in real fighters on both main shows is a sure sign of panic. Overall the Fury gimmick along with the awful Lana story shows a worrying new direction."

[0.0] "Having failed the season of Premiers and Hell In A Cell pay-per-view, WWE broke bad and flunked the first, pre-draft episode of Monday Night Raw. Universal champion Seth Rollins and Bray Wyatt did not appear due to the negative reaction to their match. I don't know what Vince and his team are heading for right now, but in my opinion, something has broken inside the system and it urgently needs to be overhauled, correcting the booking, storylines, and quality of the product at the global level. What a piece of thrash."

[1.0] "I'm not entirely sure how to rate it, because I'm not sure how serious this episode was meant. This felt like a show in the downfall of 2011-2012, completely irrelevant. Almost all matches felt like fillers without any meaning. The Rusev vs Lashley feud is indeed able to get people behind Rusev, but people have already been behind Rusev. Some of the matches were pretty alright. Others and especially the built up match for Black was just disappointing. One great aspect is that the Kabuki Warriors can finally speak in Japanese, but as expected the WWE crowds prove to be annoying as hell. At least they are heels. Don't expect Japanese wrestlers to be treated like wrestlers in New Japan, if you don't even try to be at least half as respectful as the New Japan crowds. I couldn't care less about Strowman vs Knox. This is in my eyes by far the worst episode of Raw in years. But at the same time it's basically completely irrelevant unless you want to watch Crown Jewel. So it's pretty easy to look above and to wait for what happens after the draft."
