[8.0] "Es war eine Episode von Raw, die nicht unbedingt im Ring, aber durch diverse Promo-Segmente sehr unterhaltsam war. Sikoa-Owens endete zwar mit einer DQ, aber der Eingriff von Jimmy Uso und Sami Zayn setzt die Story fort. Auch dass Owens nicht sofort mit Zayn teamen will, finde ich logisch, weil er vorerst nicht über die Wochen hinwegsehen kann, in denen Zayn bei Owens' Zerstörung mitgeholfen hat. Der Schlussangle in dieser Story war auch schön, aber durch den zweifachen Turn von Jey Uso etwas verwirrend. Ich finde es auch schade, dass der eigentlich sehr gute schauspielerische Moment von Jey Uso, wie er seinen Bruder bedauert, weil er aus eigener Erfahrung weiß, wie schrecklich Romans Rache sein wird, nun anscheinend für einen Swerve-Moment geopfert wurde. Abseits dieser Story bin ich vor allem froh, dass Logan Paul dieses Mal als Heel dabei ist. In dieser Rolle ist er tatsächlich unterhaltsam und eine sinvolle Ergänzung der WrestleMania-Card. Sein Match mit Rollins dürfte sogar sehr gut werden. Cenas Promo gegen Theory war schon etwas hart. Man muss einen neuen Superstar ja nicht so sehr demontieren, auch wenn er Heel ist. Aber Theory wird seit langer Zeit nicht gut dargestellt, auch wenn er einen Titel gewinnen konnte. Insgesamt wiegesagt keine wrestlerisch starke Show, aber die Storys wurden mit sehr guten Promo- und Backstage-Segmenten einnsoll fortgesetzt. Auch das kann eine gute Wrestling-Show ausmachen."
[6.0] "MID. I'd say worse than mid, but the Bloodline story always deliver, and John Cena shooting on Theory was awesome. We had two matches that could have been bangers in Bálor vs Gargano and Sami vs Jimmy, but they prefered to use them as feud developers. Well, congratulations Hunter, you succeed with your idea, but you missed two great chances of great matches in just one show."
[2.0] "The Bloodline and Cody was the only thing keeping this from a 1. No good matches on a 3 hour show is criminal and should never ever happen, let alone in a major city in front of that many people. This set up some WM matches but none of it was very entertaining and Cena was up to his usual bury wrestling as a whole tactics. The announcers are the worst in wrestling and it sticks out more during a bad episode"
[7.0] "Bloodline led the show as usual. I saw the serve coming, but it was still disappointing in a fun way. This episode did a lot to build WrestleMania hype. John Cena's segment was great. I did not like Cody coming out at the end though just for a hug. WWE seems to be doing everything they can to move the love for Sami over to Cody."
[7.0] "Der Opener zwischen Sikoa und Owens war ein sehr gutes Ding zum Start. Der Sieg passt perfekt und auch die Situation anschließend bringt weiteres Feuer rein in die Story. 9/10. Belair vs. Carmella war schwach. Ein dreckiger Sieg von Mella und Green wäre interessant geworden. 2/10. Omos vs. Ziggler, was soll man dazu sagen? War logisch und für Ziggler schade. 0/10. Balor vs. Gargano war gut. Das Ende überraschte etwas und gefiel. 7/10. Cross vs. Niven war ebenfalls sehr schnell vorbei. Hätte man mehr raus machen können und ggf. müssen. 2/10. Gable vs. Corbin war ok. Ging zwar nicht lang, war aber relativ offen und doch ganz nett. 5/10. Das Match zwischen Sami und Jimmy war ok. Nichts besonderes, aber alles danach war einfach richtig krass! Holy! Die Story läuft, die Story brennt und ich finds mega! 10/10. Matchtechnisch nur Durschmitt. Die Promos waren Gut gesetzt und hypen Wrestlemania ordentlich. Gerade für das Ende gebe ich statt 5 doch einfach 7 Punkte."
[8.0] "Good ending, full of tension and a well advanced WrestleMania construction. Too bad we didn't get Lesnar, and that no match was really good between squashes and interruptions. The promos were pretty good, especially the one between Cena and Theory, although it was a shame to end on some lame and childish remarks about male attributes."
[7.0] "I really enjoyed the angles/segments on this show, especially the stuff with the bloodline, and Cena's fantastic promo. The Bianca/Asuka feud is weird. Are they just gonna stare each other down after matches every week? This show was lacking a great match for me to consider it a great not good show"
[6.0] "The show was okay. but the real problem is that there's no single good match. I know the show is heavily focused on the entertainment side, but really, they need at least a one good wrestling match."
"I really wish that Tony Khan would watch WWE to see how to actually build hype for your PPV show. Watch how the WWE continues to build their storylines heading into the PPV. This is literally the one major issue Khan needs to fix if he ever dreams to actually be competitive with WWE in the future."
[7.0] "A good episode this week, with some good matches and segments. John Cena and Austin Theory setting their match at WrestleMania 39 was great can't wait for it, Becky Lynch, Lita and Trish Stratus setting up a match against DAMAGE CNTRL at WrestleMania 39 was great as well. Maximum Male Models segment was ridiculously stupid. Logan Paul and Seth Rollins face to face was entertaining. Kevin Owens vs Solo Sikoa: Great match, Solo Sikoa's strongest main roster performance yet, and an important part of the storyline (***1/4). Bianca Belair vs Carmella: It was a poor attempt for Carmella to not only weaken Belair before WrestleMania and also to try and get herself into the RAW Women's Title Match at WrestleMania in what was an average match (*3/4). Omos vs Dolph Ziggler: Pretty basic squash match, to further his momentum towards facing Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania. Finn Balor vs Johnny Gargano: An entertaining match especially when Edge interfered to further his feud with Balor (**3/4). Nikki Cross vs Piper Niven: Another pointless squash match. Chad Gable vs Baron Corbin: Another pointless match that came about from the Maximum Male Models segment earlier in the night, of which made Corbin look like a joke. Sami Zayn vs Jimmy Uso: An interstate continuation of the Zayn/Bloodline feud in an above average tv match (***1/4)"
[5.0] "Definitely more of a promo show than a wrestling show. Damn though with 3 hours you could have given us some more wrestling on your wrestling show. Finn Balor vs Johnny Gargano was my match of the night, but it was only satisfactory. Seeing Cena destroy the pest Austin Theory was good. I just wish Cena would take his title at Mania with Theory never to be seen on tv again (not likely unfortunately.) The Seth Rollins Logan Paul segment was pretty good too. But I dunno, I think this being rated 7.4/10 is really pushing it, I guess not everyone enjoys their wrestling shows the same way and that's ok, but this was barely a 5/10 for me."
[7.0] "Not the best Raw inrjng wise how ever promo & build wise it was fantastic, the bloodline segments & Rollins/Paul were GREAT! The ending with Sami & Jey Uso was incredible. Cena absolutely smoked Austin Theory in a godlike promo."
[5.0] "I think the bloodline and sami zayn are going to break their back after carrying WWE that hard for MONTHS now. As usual their stuff was GREAT but the rest of the show is garbage exept for the Cena promo ------- 45 mins of wrestling on a 3 hours show and not one single good match"
[5.0] "The 3 big talking segments saved this show... let me rephrase it: Those talking segments looked like the only things planned to be newsworthy from this show, because the actual matches here were a chore to sit through. The segments I'm talking are Logan Paul and Rollins face to face (weird dynamics but the crowd was very hot thhrough the entire segment), the biggest you'll ever see in Cena/Theory promo (no idea hhow Theory comes back from this even if he beats Cena) and the post-match from the Sami/Jimmy match (the crowd popped huge even though I found it to be way too over the top). Everything else have next to no heat (including all of the matches). I have to highlight Gargano/Balor and Piper/Nikki as the surreal experiences of the crowd simply not caring."
"this show is a one trick pony, the bloodline, that's it that's all it got..the matches were bad 3 of them were under 2:10 theory looked like a deer in the headlights when cena was cutting his promo and they way paul books is no different than what vince was doing. this roster has some of the best talent in the world and by watching a show like this you would never know it....do better..1/10"
[8.0] "I understand that people get upset about having too many shorts, but when you get a show so full of good promos, you have to give it the recognition it deserves. A more than fun RAW, excellent returns and a fantastic ending."
[8.0] "This show lacked an actually solid match, but a vast majority of the promo work was top level, Logan/Seth is on a great start, Cena has destroyed Theory, and Bloodline is still the hottest act in WWE. Crowd was also clearly invested in Cody and to a lesser extent Asuka despite them not having much to do during the show, showing that Mania title matches are in the good hands. My only nitpick outside of match quality is that Damage CTRL vs Becky + Legends still seems really uninspired."
[8.0] "I barely watch WWE these days but I'm so glad I watched this. It's the first show I've ever seen that, despite having zero matches stand out, was still at least an 8/10 caliber show. The segments were that good. There's three truly phenomenal segments and various other moments that were enjoyable. If I wanted to watch special matches, I'd watch a PPV and not a WWE TV show of all things. This show was all about advancing storylines and setting up matches for Wrestlemania, while giving people something to look forward to in between. This show did all those things. Giving it any less than an 8 wouldn't be doing it justice."
[6.0] "Der Fokus bei RAW lag auf den Promos und Segmenten. Manches wurde gut inszeniert wie Rollins & Paul, manches ging viel zu lang wie Cena & Theory und einiges wurde stimmig weitererzählt wie die Sami Zayn & Usos Story, wenn auch vorhersehbar. Die größte Enttäuschung war für mich Gargano vs. Balor. Da bewirbt man das Match die ganze Woche und es kommt Booking Quark dabei raus mit einem schwachen Match. Die Show hatte insgesamt auch zu viele Längen und Füllmaterial mit zu vielen Recaps."
[5.0] "They good 100% do this same show in 2 hours. As usual , since they won't change this formula, we get forgettable wrestling and 2 decent talking segments."
[9.0] "The show has this formula: basic/satisfactory matches, absolutelly killer promos/segments build up for Wrestlemania. Great show! Great episode!"
[5.0] "The non-wrestling segments involving the Bloodline are consistently excellent and really carry this show. Unfortunately, they don't make up a large amount of RAW's run time, leaving a lot of bland and mediocre matches while you sit on your hands waiting for the next segment that involves either Cody, Sami, or the Bloodline. This week we also had a very entertaining segment with Cena and Theory (poor Theory), but the actual wrestling held this show back from being more than an average episode of RAW."
[7.0] "A story heavy RAW with three new WrestleMania matches confirmed (Rollins/Paul, Theory/Cena and Becky, Lita & Trish/Damage CTRL), and the big Jey Uso turn on Sami Zayn. Unfortunately the wrestling didn't live up to the storytelling this week."
[9.0] "What a fucking great episode of Raw, it's not perfect cause it must be so hard to make 3 hours perfect, but the good stuff is really good, the Boston crowd was so hot for a change, they enhanced everything on the show, most was basic good stuff if I'm honest, but the crowd made it great, the Seth Logan segment, the cena theory segment, the ending, the ko match, all were good turned into great thanks to the crowd, if you cut the filler from the show, it's a really good episode of Raw"
[9.0] "Pretty solid show with Wrestlemania build up that finally included John Cena and the shocking twist at the end. Definitely made Cody in the main event picture more interesting."
[9.0] "I don't know if this is the best Raw under Triple H but it definitely my be my favorite. Matches weren't extremely memorable at all to be honest which stops this from being a 10 but this was mostly a show that had great segments. The Damage CTRL/Becky, Trish and Lita and Logan Paul/Seth Rollins segments were good. However the John Cena/Austin Theory promo and Jey turning on Jimmy were fucking amazing. Loved seeing Cena here just as much as his hometown, miss him all the time nowadays and don't get me wrong he definitely fucking buried Austin Theory here but it was glorious. I think character wise it was pretty cathartic to here Cena roast Theory. However at certain points he was going in so hard on him that I started rooting for Theory a little bit. Theory had some good reactions, and a couple good lines but he definitely could've said a whole lot more. Overall though it was damn entertaining. I think Theory will definitely recover most likely by beating Cena in there match at Mania. And finally the ending which was pure cinema, had Triple H written all over it all else it needed was the show logo popping up before Jey superkicked Sami similar to the #DIY turn in NXT."
