[7.0] "It was an okay show with two significant moments. In the opening segment Triple H shows how ruthless he is when he attacks Jim Ross to force Mankind into accepting a title match and then in the main event he becomes the top heel in the company when he beats Mankind in the main event. This was very well built up as his title win had been looking inevitable for awhile at that point. Outside of Triple H, the only other major thing of note was Chyna signing an open challenge by Jeff Jarrett and then getting smacked with a guitar. The Rock also had a match with Gangrel, which leaned into the fans frustration with his SummerSlam booking as he is very vocal about it during the main event. The rest of the show is kinda there really and unfortunately the Bossman/Al Snow feud continues and takes a really bad turn when Bossman kidnapped his dog. Some of Lillian Garcia's gaffes on her first night as a ring announcer was kinda hilarious as well."
[7.0] "This was a very uneventful RAW. The opening segment would usually be good any given day, just didn't hit right this time. The main event is the only saving grace on this PPV with some fun spots."
[8.0] "Triple H breaking Jim Ross's arm was a tremendous way to kick off the show. There's actually some good stuff on the undercard like D'lo Brown vs Mark Henry and the continuation of the Hardy's vs Edge & Christian. Rock sets his sights on the WWF title, Triple H won his first WWF title on the show. Good show coming off of SummerSlam"
[8.0] "A very good Raw after big PPV. It opens with a great moment of Triple H breaking JR's arm. Undercard part of the episode is also very interesting. There are no good matches but many cool moments like Chyna becoming the No1 contender for the IC title. Mankind vs Triple H is booked very well and features everything for a great Raw main event. HHH finally won the WWF title."
[9.0] "Super Ausgabe nach dem Summerslam. Triple H gewinnt seinen ersten WWF/E Titel und Lilian Garcia ist das erste Mal Ring Announcerin und merkt es auch ganz deutlich :D"
[8.0] "RAW lässt sich ja immer so schön in einen Entertainment 'Segmente/Promos' und einen reinen Wrestlingteil 'InRing' aufteilen. Diese RAW-Episode hatte einen hervorragenden Unterhaltungsfaktor abseits der Matches und Kämpfe mit allenfalls durchschnittlichen Leistungen. Bemerkensert, weil historisch ist diese RAW Episode jedoch alle mal. Das Dark Match WWF-Debut von Kurt Angle und der erste Titelgewinn von Triple H (hatte er nicht zwischen WrestleMania und SummerSlam erstaunlich viel Muskelmasse aufgebaut ?) sind und bleiben bemerkensewert. Auch die Segmente um JR's gebrochenen Arm, Howard Finkel als Jericho-Jünger 'Harold' und die umkämpfte Tag-Team Situation geben dieser RAW-Sendung die Note "sehenswert". Zum Titelmatch kam es übrigens nur, weil Austin sich geweigert hatte, sich für Helmsley hinzulegen - das besorgte dann Foley. Hatte schon was von Hoganscher Divenhaftigkeit. Kleine Randnotiz - nicht nur wir auf Cagematch haben dezente Rechtschreibschwächen - die Einblendung im Tag-Team Match dieser RAW-Episode lautete statt Viscera & Mideon ..... - Midian (war nur Spass, nach dem Splitt der Ministry änderte die WWF die Schreibweise von Mideon auf Midian) !"
