[5.0] "Riesig war diese Ausgabe von Raw nicht, höchstens solide. Der Opener hätte wesentlich mehr sein können, gerade weil Kevin Owens plötzlich ein Teil davon war. Stattdessen hatte ich den Eindruck, dass das Match vorbei war, bevor es richtig losging. Der Angle danach war für mich nicht so überzeugend. Ein Krankenwagen Angle für Riddle wegen ein paar Wrestling Moves von Solo Sikoa schien mir übertrieben zu sein. Das Three Way zwischen Bayley, Asuka und Rhea war für mich das beste Match des Abends. Das andere Three Way der Frauen im Main Event kann da überhaupt nicht mithalten und hat im Gegenteil sogar einige Aussetzer drin. Theory-Ali war auf dem Weg zu einem ordentlichen Match, aber der Eingriff von Ziggler macht das zunichte. Interesse hab ich daran nun nicht wirklich. Die ganze Poker-Storyline war sehr dünn und auch während des Six Man Matches war JBL am Kommentatorentisch noch das Interessanteste. Bei Dominik gegen Tozawa war ich dann Getränke holen. Judgment Day ist immer noch so interessant wie Farbe beim Trocknen zusehen."
[7.0] "The show started with the major story of The Usos defending the tag titles against Riddle & Owens who replaced Elias. It was a great upgrade and despite the match being perfect for a white-hot opener, it lacked some more fire to set the tone on a high level. Bayley, Asuka & Ripley had a sound contest determining the future of the women's title contention even though there were a few lulls. Rollins & Lashley added more intrigue to their match through a packed face-off while Theory had a decent sprint with Ali. The interruption of Ziggler meant something to his arc of revenge & I like the surround of the title with multiple challengers laid out creating a lot of interest. The OC had a fun tag w/Corbin & Alpha Academy while Dominik mangled Tozawa in a sparring bout. Those two were set up by the breezy poker segment & filled the show fine. The main event was a pretty good contest but not as cool as the former triple threat. Becky losing via shenanigans was expected & Alexa winning refreshes her status in the roster as well as advances her subtle build to a change of shade. This episode dipped down in quality from last week in all margins, but it was understandable. They're building up the road to Royal Rumble pretty nicely where foundations were laid out for mainstream rivalries. We're still not set tight for the annual prized battle royal as there's more time to hit the high range. They're moving at a slow yet steady pace & it interests me to see how the path will be built to the final destination."
[9.0] "Erneut starke Raw Episode. Die Matches und Segmente der Women's Division bildeten den Großteil der Ausgabe und waren die Highlihts der Folge. Hinzu kommt eine überragende Weiterentwicklung der Storyline um Bloodline und KO. Sehr spassig war diese Woche die diversen Backstage-Segemente mit dem Poker-Turnier. Insbesondere Gargano und Dexter machten einen tollen Job."
[6.0] "Solo's beatdown on Riddle after the match was fantastic and the best part about this show. The first women 3 way was good, even though clunky at spots, and the opening tag match was pretty good as well, Gable was great in the 6 man tag and the main event was fine with a dead crowd. Lashley/Seth had a good segment setting up their match next week, the poker game stuff throughout this show was lame. All in all a solid show with good development"
[6.0] "RAW needs these types of shows. Good wrestling, went by quickly, and nothing really happened. Just build stories. Not every episode has to have a shocking revelation. The women's division is just ridiculous though. So much talent. Right now the only interesting male, outside of the Bloodline, is Austin Theory."
[5.0] "War recht unterhaltsam, dennoch nicht mehr als gehobenes Mittelmaß. Die Matches kamen kaum über guten Durchschnitt hinaus, am besten war hier wohl noch das Six Men-Tag Team-Match. Von den Promos wusste Theory am meisten zu überzeugen, aber auch Rollins und Lashley waren okay. Das Poker-Turnier war zwar ein roter Faden der sich durch die Show zog, aber mehr als ein "ganz nett" gibt es dafür auch nicht. Abgerundet auf 5."
[8.0] "An entertaining and dynamic Raw with many things they have been doing, it has not been something very there if we stop to think about something more serious but it has been a quite enjoyable show, but as always, without commercials and on tape delay because eating 3 hours ... the truth is that I do not like."
[9.0] "Bayley vs Rhea Ripley vs Asuka, Alexa Bliss vs Nikki Cross vs Becky Lynch, O.C vs Baron Corbin/Alpha Academy, and Usos vs Matt Riddle/Kevin Owens were all really good matches (especially with the former 2 matches ending up to be pretty damn good). Becky Lynch will cost Bayley her singles match next week. Let's move on. The feud with Becky Lynch vs Bayley will undoubtedly outshine anything that Bianca Belair will do against Alexa Bliss soon. The staredown with Becky Lynch/Rhea Ripley was pretty damn cool and intense! It honestly looked like both women were about to kiss each other at some points. Dang, I felt so bad for Matt Riddle getting destroyed for no reason. That post-match assault was just overkill! Alright, Seth Rollins is definitely back to being a heel, so he never really 'turned' face. He just happens to be really over and beloved by crowds. Bobby Lashley is also still a babyface too. Brock Lesnar hurts the product much more than he helps it. Can that overpushed hack just go away already? I'm glad that they're trying again with Mustafa Ali. He keeps getting screwed out of these opportunities for the United States title, so maybe they're slowly building him to be a future champion. It's also great to see Dolph Ziggler again (even if he got beat up in the end). Austin Theory being intense, serious, and dangerous has honestly saved his career. That is thanks to Triple H being a really good booker. The fact that Adam Pearce warned Bobby Lashley about accidentally hurting officials leads me to believe that the latter will get suspended soon for being too violent, and for losing his temper. Dexter Lumis and Johnny Gargano casually winning the poker tournament in the end was freaking hilarious. Gargano going "that was easy" really got me (lol). I'm SO glad that they gave Akira Tozawa his old attire/look back. Hopefully, they also repackage Drew Gulak being a serious competitor again whenever they use him again too. I'd like to see Tozawa get more of a push too. It's REALLY good to see Candice LeRae officially reunite with Johnny Gargano and Dexter Lumis on-screen! They're 3 of the 5 members of the Way (back when they were on Indy NXT last year). Raw was pretty darn enjoyable overall with very few negatives tonight. I'm giving tonight's episode an 8 out of 10, but I'll lean more toward a 9 here."
[8.0] "Warum ging diese gute RAW-Ausgabe nur so schnell zu Ende? 3 bockstarke Matches, tolle Segmente und endlich mal wieder vermehrt Backstagecontent wie mit dem Pokerturnier. Da werde ich ja glatt ein paar mehrere Jahre jünger. Mit Bliss und Bayley kann ich im Finale Leben - Hier könnte ich mir beide als Siegerin vorstellen. Auf jeden Fall wird Bliss demnächst sich "verwandeln.""
[8.0] "I mostly enjoyed the show, the promos were good and i actually enjoyed the Poker segments. JBL is a welcome addition to the commentary team as well. The last hour dragged."
[5.0] "The first hour was super strong, featuring the Bloodline storyline and a good women's triple threat. I found the next two hours to be a chore, matches and segments made just to fill time with a crowd that looked like they were in an AEW PPV 3 hours in with how tired they sounded (and sometimes they didn't even react! ). The last match kinda shocked me for how sloppy it was. Nice use of the Poker Tournament as an in-world hub to make matches, even though the segments themselves were unfunny."
[8.0] "Very good show with some solid matches. I liked the poker segments but that whole angle means very little in the long run and took up maybe a bit too much TV time. Both women's matches were good and had stakes. Lots of stories were advanced and next week has some pretty solid matches lined up. Good show."
[6.0] "Opening mit Bllodline war ok. Der Aufbau für die beiden Triple Threat Matches war auch in ordnung, vorallem die Interaktion zwischen Becky, Bayley und Ripley. Das Poker Turnier war Quatsch aber irgendwo doch recht amüsant. Sonst viel spannungsarmes Beiwerk in der Ausgabe."
