[7.0] "This was actually a good Raw. I liked Edge vs Batista here. Good storylines too around this time. These midcard matches need to be longer tho."

[8.0] "Admittedly this show is pretty average one in terms of the matches, but the storylines are really interesting here. There's good set up to the main with a good opening Edge/Lita promo, Edge being smart by recruiting Christian with the MITB reward if he won and the Flair/Batista backstage promo which all played into the Edge vs Batista main event very well. Flair eventually makes the save aiding Batista's win and then betrays him for Triple H when he returns and beats Batista down with the sledgehammer. This was an excellent episode long arc with Hell in a Cell match being a very fitting way to end the Batista/HHH feud! Elsewhere theres a couple of matches that tease a Jericho heel turn when he doesn't show up for a tag team match which Shelton Benjamin loses and then in his match with Sylvain Granier, he wins but his performance come off in a way where he seemed unfocused. The Bischoff ECW funeral scene was great because we ended up with Vince McMahon and Paul Heyman interrupting it and giving us a dream moment with the three of them in the ring together. Heyman is fantastic here as usual. There is some filler here like Viscera/Lillian segment, but on the whole I really enjoyed this show."

[7.0] "Your typical solid 2005 Raw, in that it was good storyline wise but lacking in the ring except for the main event."
