[5.0] "Sure, RAW has its horrifyingly bad shows, and on a rare occasion, a good to great one, but the worst thing RAW can be is bang average, which is what this episode was. Ricochet/Morrison, Riddle/Styles and New Day/Lashley & MVP were all decent, the eight woman tag was pretty horrific, and everything else was just there. Thankfully there's only one Thunderdome episode to go until RAW faces its first test in front of fans on July 19th. On a side note, funny how this show's dark match has ended up ruining a big surprise NXT had planned for this week's show."
[6.0] "A fine, if pretty lifeless Raw this week. No overarching plot made this one a bit of a slog to get through with only a few good moments. The opening segment was mediocre. Drew's new gimmick of telling old folktales is kinda fun, though not a great gimmick for the guy who is supposed to be the top babyface. Matches ranged from good to ugh, with Jaxson Ryker's one minute burial of Elias and Cedric Alexander being the worst of it. Jaxson Ryker being on TV at all is a problem, but him being a babyface is damn near criminal. He needs to rush off to Main Event as soon as possible before the crowds come back, or we are going to have some DEAD crowds. A fine, if unremarkable show overall."
