[6.0] "I thought this was an okay show mostly because of the main event storyline with it being the final Raw with Vince vs Austin as the biggest feud in wrestling before it ended at Fully Loaded. On this one Austin drives to the arena in the 'bloodmobile' promising to bust Vince open and he does that in the main event where him and Rock interrupted the Taker v HHH main event. Vince looked like a mess at the end, but Taker ends up busting Austin up again afterwards. The undercard was better than what we've been seeing, but we're still not really seeing good matches and Billy Gunn using the exact same ref distraction with Chyna to beat The Rock as what Jeff Jarrett constantly does with Debra is just unbelievably repetitive and lazy! Still, the Kane storyline with X-Pac had a nice pay off where he chooses not to return to the Undertaker when he realised Taker attacked him. It got a great reaction and was a good emotional moment."
[6.0] "Undercard has some good stuff with Edge and Jarrett, X-Pac and Kane as a tag team. Main angle with Austin was executed really well and the closing segment was fantastic."
[7.0] "Best Raw in a while. Better undercard and main event angles than usual, and the fact that they're forced to build towards the PPV helps give the show some much-needed focus."
[7.0] "Enjoyable episode of Raw. Taker vs Triple H rivalry has an interesting development as well as Kane and X-Pac's friendship. Undercard is pretty good too and has some nice matches. Storyline with DX is not that much annoying this time. Howewer I found the start of Edge vs Jeff Jarrett feud very stupid."
