[6.0] "If I had to judge this show only for its In-Ring quality, probably would be the worst of the year, as all matches were terribly average (Main Event was nearly above), but the segments and the ongoing stories made this show so fun. I'm so impressed how the Cody vs Lesnar story has improved after Backlash, now there is a reasonable justification for Brock Lesnar attacking Cody, and now Cody doesn't cut overly complicated promos, but he rathers keep it simple but interesting, with solid arguments and selling the match so well. I loved he brought the fable of the frog and the scorpion because it fits so well what happened after WrestleMania and what Brock Lesnar is by nature. Becky Lynch promo wasn't special, but it was fine. Seth Rollins vignettes recalling his WWE career were so good and it was nice they brought his NXT run and The Shield without censoring Mox."
[8.0] "If i'm honest in ring wise this was worst than Last week show, but this show flew by, and the Cody promo and IMPERIUM being a Big deal is great as well, Ali won and the Match with GUNTHER could be great, and Sami & KO having to take care of the 3 BIGGEST factions in WWE is a great underdog story"
[6.0] "The build up to nigh of champions is kinda boring like every Saudi show, this raw episode almost felt like a replay from last week there was not much progression. But imperium rules and the main event was very good so that's not a bad show"
[7.0] "above average show. It wasnt boring neither so good. There were general things. Intercontinental Champion is the only singles champ currently on raw. So it might be boring to see fight for only one title in a 3 hours show. After Night of champions, Raw could do much better. (***1/2)"
[6.0] "This has been one of the better Raws of recent and it has been good to see them finally threading in some new story lines. That said, I think this will be my last Raw for a while. 6 matches in three hours is way too few for me."
[8.0] "A great Raw, i love how they are making Imperium a big deal. the battle royal was great and the Indus Sher had a good debut, and i enjoyed Raquel Rodriquez and Chelsea Green had a fun match."
[7.0] "Great opening segment that reminded me of opening segments from the past. Sami is still over and the Judgement Day are as cool as and don gets the heat without saying a word. Great sit down interview between Graves and Rollins if I was a new fan this gives a perfect background to the Feds second biggest babyface. Great promo from Cody as always, arguably the best promo in the business at the moment. Loved the Easter egg for the observant after the JD McDonah interview as well. Enjoyable and watchable raw."
[6.0] "This was a solid show in terms of setting things up for the PPV, and for future storylines between people. The matches here aren't all that, and the main event definitely could've been better if not for all the interferences."
[7.0] "The whole point of wrestling is to entertain right? This episode of RAW succeeded with some good matches, backstage moments, and promos. Mustafa Ali winning the battle royal was honestly a surprise to me, until I remembered they are having him go against Gunther in Saudi Arabia. Overlooked moment may be JD McDonagh's segment walking away with Finn Balor observing his former student from afar. Overall, it was a good show, but easily forgettable in the long term."
[8.0] "Great episode of RAW, Cody Rhodes and Becky Lynchs promos were great. Shinsuke Nakamura vs The Miz: Enjoyable match to start RAW, my only complaint would be they should have been given more time but within the time they were given I thought they still put on a good match (**3/4). Intercontinental Title Contenders Battle Royal: Great way to determine who will next challenge Gunther with some memorable eliminations like the end with Bronson Reed and Ricochet, Mustafa Ali winning was the right choice as he finally deserves a chance at a championship (***1/4). Dominik Mysterio vs Xavier Woods: An okay match but would have been better had Rhea Ripley not got involved (**3/4). Indus Sher vs Drake Thompson & Lavar Barbie: Basic squash match (DUD). Raquel Rodriguez vs Chelsea Green: An okay match, Rodriguez winning was the obvious choice even though the match was made official during the show (*). The Judgement Day vs Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn: Great main event match, the booking decision was not the right one given Owens & Zayn have got a huge title defense in under 2 weeks so they lose momentum heading into Night Of Champions (****1/4)."
[6.0] "I was actually somewhat let down by the ep of Raw. The batte royal and shin vs miz were definetly the highlights but neither were anything great. A little confused what hapening with the tag titles. Indus Sher was actually quite intimidating to me, and having Jinder as the manager is interesting."
[8.0] "Loved the show this week. Ever since the draft both shows of Raw were good. Favorite match was the rematch between Dominik and Woods. Working back to back weeks against each other they had better chemistry this week."
[6.0] "A very passing issue, but it makes a big start for the future, because several lines originate at once, here you have JD with Dolph, and the Imperium with Kevin and Sami. The interview with Seth is interesting and unusual, I personally liked it. According to the wrestling itself, the release came out just weak, except for the main there was nothing to catch on. Mustafa Ali, as a winner and a new applicant, also does not catch on, because there were more suitable candidates. Well, a lot of unnecessary repetitions and advertisements, just more than usual."
[6.0] "A very interesting experiment in how to fill a 3 hour wrestling show and tie multiple matches and stories by the end. The crowd was more lively tthan both shows last week, which helped. You had usual filler with the women's match, the Indus Sher squash and (sort of? ) the repeat of Dom vs Woods. Nakamura vs Miz was alright, the Battle Royal had an exciting finishing stretch, they are putting a lot effort more in re/introducing the NXT call-ups and the main event was good until the barrage of interference spots (it felt like 20 spots happened). Imperium and Steenerico being the connective tissue throughout the episode worked for me. PS: Forgot about the promos: Both Cody and Becky cut very passionate but kind of standard promos by their abilities. The Rollins sit-down interview was great."
[8.0] "A great show that left us with a storytelling that promises, with a good Main Event and some interesting fights, such as Nakamura vs. Miz and the Battle Royal, the rest a bit of filler but a very enjoyable show."
[7.0] "Nakamura vs. Miz and Battle Royal were good but there was nothing interesting until the main event. I enjoyed the show but I'd like to see a much better second hour."
"(8.0) When I saw the RAW plans I was expecting a mid episode, but it was the other way around. All fights and promos were fun to watch. I still think RAW should be a 2 hour show."
