[8.0] "the opening segment was pretty cold sadly and jimmy was just lying about the bloodline history. the tag opener was excellent and diy being on mania is such great news. finally the women's tag division is slightly interesting. the cody promo was absolutely incredible again, so many great references, from homelander and the rock's writer to rock having "little dick syndrome". the ricochet match was fine and all the ic title stuff is frustrating. the one long camera shot is great, awesome truth being on mania isn't. the main event was pretty good. overall i promo heavy show with great promos"
[7.0] "Ich habe immer etwas übrig für die Matches, die den Performern sicherlich die Welt bedeuten und Jey gegen Jimmy Uso ist so ein Match. Es ist fast egal, wie die Story bis dorthin aussieht. Von einem Match gegeneinander bei WrestleMania haben sie bestimmt als Kinder geträumt. Der Opener zwischen DIY und den Creeds war wirklich gut. Zu Beginn merkt man noch, dass die Zuschauer nicht wirklich eine Meinung zu den Beteiligten haben, aber am Ende gewinnen die Performer sie für sich. Das anschließende Frauen Tag Match war kaum der Rede wert, aber immerhin entwickelt sich Candice LeRaes Heel-Charakter weiter, was besser als nichts ist. Die Promo von Cody war als Antwort auf die von The Rock bei SmackDown durchaus in Ordnung. Was ich allerdings nicht gebraucht hätte, wäre das Gerede von Heels und Brian Gewirtz gewesen. Das erinnerte eher an ganz dunkle Zeiten 2021, als Cody die Zuschauer verlor und versuchte, sie mit Insidern wieder für sich zu gewinnen. Die Vertragsunterzeichnung von Zayn und Gunther war kurz und schnörkellos. Schön, dass es mal nicht in einem sinnlosen Brawl geendet ist. Auch cool war die Kamerafahrt durch Gorilla zurück backstage zu Miz und Truth und dann schnittfrei während deren Entrance wieder zurück zum Ring. Das Tag Match zwischen New Day und Alpha Academy war vor allem deshalb gut, weil man Tozawa ein paar Dinge hat zeigen lassen. Er ist schon so lange Comedy Undercarder, dass man manchmal vergisst, dass er ein sehr guter Wrestler ist. Im Main Event zeigen Nia Jax und Becky Lynch dann ein solides Hardcore Match. Generell wird Becky momentan gut aufgebaut und sammelt einige größere Siege vor ihrem Titelmatch gegen Rhea. Die eigentliche Fehde zwischen Becky und Rhea hat allerdings noch wenig Futter bekommen und bestand bis hierhin aus ein paar durchschnittlichen Promos und Stare Downs. Hier hat man nun noch zwei Shows Zeit, deren Story ein bisschen zentraler in Szene zu setzen."
[6.0] "A show that goes from less to more in a bumpy road. Some highs and lows through the 3 hours but with a general decreasing of the quality as show went by. Cody and Paul E. promo was good, and showed a side of Cody I want to see more instead of his over the top and full of rhetoric promos, and his business deal with Paul was cool. Drew and Seth have already told everything they could to each other, so their promo here was more plain and not as good as the previous ones. DIY vs The Creeds was match of the night and currently in my top 5 matches of the year in WWE. Great TV tag match, but the Creeds have a lot to improve yet. Candice LeRae continues to develop her heel persona in a great way, but sadly her low status makes all that irrelevant for now. Looks like tensions among Judgment Day are coming back, as Priest blamed JD for not winning the Gauntlet, and now Dom couldn't also beat Ricochet. Let's see if that's a catalyst for Priest finally cashing in. The Usos promo at the beginning was so well delivered because of the charisma and street flow both brothers have, but its content was too lazy and a bit nonsensical as Jey first tells his brother he misses him but then whoops his ass without remorse. I need more depth in the story to fully buy those acts. Awesome Truth beating two beast in Indus Sher was actually ridiculous, but they're a more attractive option for WrestleMania than them. The other qualifying match was pretty ok, with a lot of credit to give to Tozawa, who put on a fantastic performance. The Main Event was quite solid, but a lot of its execution was rather poor and it seemed like they didn't care enough to milk all the story between both women in this payoff match. I almost forgot about Sami and Gunther segment, which I found so out of place and really generic (no pun intended). I'm sorry for Sami, but this shouldn't have been his story for WrestleMania, it was Chad Gable's. This feels like a light rendition of last year's feud with Roman before Elimination Chamber, Sami working against the odds to convince everyone he can do the impossible. And that's all the story. I still hope they insert Gable in the match, it would actually bring more depth and quality, but it looks like the match is already done."
"A fairly enjoyable raw on the way to wrestlemania, diy goes to wrestlemania for the first time in a really good match. ***3/4 Lynch-jax's matches have been fairly enjoyable, & Nia continues to do far better than I expected from her in this 2nd stint from the company. The LWS match was good, but the ending was too contrived for my liking. ***1/4 Candice Lerae continues to get some much needed character change. The uso bros continue to deliver in promos but I'm not sure they'll have a good match at wrestlemania About a 7/10."
[8.0] "Good first start with Jey's promo against his brother After that a very good tag team match like we enjoy to see the Creed brothers and DIY gave a very good and untertaining match, the ending is very great. Just after we had a great promo of Cody targetting TheRock showing us that Cody is also very good at the mic, because TheRock is maybe one of the best if not the best at the mic. Rhodes did a great promo and a very funny one. The wrestling match tag team that Awesome Truth won against Indus Sher was quick but a very funny finish Then New Day VS Alpha Academy predictable but still good spots Woman main event also had great spots reminded me of some hardcore spots"
[9.0] "A great episode of RAW which seems to be the working show of WWE right now while SD seems to be the storyline show.. The first match was the best on the show with great tag team wrestling slowly building fan interest as the match went on the creeds are definitely future champions but I am not too fussed at them not being at wrestlemania as they have all the time to reach the top really happy for DIY to be at wrestlemania hopefully they are able to capture one of the two tag titles. LeRaes heel turn continues to move further and I am liking it till now but need them to follow through on it. Ricochet and Dominik had a good match I like ricochet being on tv again dont know if he will be on wrestlemania or not but hopefully they continue to build him back after his absence. Awesome truth were the expected winners of the next match same with the new day. The Main event was really good and Nias good run continues.the finish was brilliant and tied off a neat knot of Beckys previous feuds and gives her momentum and puts all her attention on Rhea.The Jew Jimmy segment was great as well as the Cody and Heyman segment all of this has me really excited for Wrestlemania.Chad and Sami was wonderful and arguably the best thing on the show"
[9.0] "Once again, a very strong episode of Raw that follows up from last week's. A very strong, PPV-quality opener that showcased the Creed Brothers' immense talent and setting up DIY to finally have their WrestleMania moment. Good show of tension between Sami and Gable, making sure the latter is not forgotten. Main Event was good. Nia has been pretty good since her return. Hopeful that next week's show will be just as strong."
[7.0] "Great opener and a great closer with some decent promos and camera work in the middle, but there was also some unnecessary stuff tossed in, as well. It's the risk you run with a three hour program, but there was nothing terrible that would make you turn off the TV and enough captivating stuff that will allow you to forgive some of the clunckiness."
[8.0] "A good episode of Raw. The fights were good, hyped by CM Punk's return next week, it'd be cool if he got something for Wrestlemania. Can't wait to see the segment between Rhodes and Reigns next Smackdown. I also noticed a long uncut shot with Sami Zayn, it was an interesting production choice, it can give more life and make a show organic to multiply segments like that."
[7.0] "A good opener and the midcard gets the job done despite some rather short matches. But the main event is rather disappointing for a show just a few weeks from WM. We already know that Becky isn't likely to lose as Rhea's title challenger. The angles and promos are pretty disappointing too. Cody's answer is okay, but we could have done without the crap punchlines about the size of The Rock's attributes. The Usos' and Seth vs Drew's are really nothing special... 6, 5/10"
[8.0] "Great Raw episode. Mostly good action from an in ring standpoint, with the DIY vs Creeds and Becky vs Nia matches both being quite good. Some great segments here too. Loved the Gunther and Sami contract signing, because basically every time Sami is given mic time, he knocks it out of the fucking park. Also enjoyed his backstage interactions with Chad too. I had a few issues with the Cody promo ("little dick syndrome", are you 12? ) but overall I thought it was a good promo that got me hyped for his face to face with Roman on Friday. I also thought the camera work on this show was really fucking good too. Kevin Dunn really just had no clue what he was doing did he, glad he's fucking gone because this new guy has been killing it. Some stuff here that I wasn't huge on, like the Candice Lerae stuff and like 90% of Pat Mcafee's commentary, bit overall this was a great show."
[5.0] "Others seemed to enjoy this show more than I did. Uso's promo and attack to start the show was OK. Opener was the match of the night. I'm not really into the Candice LaRae heel turn. I thought the Gable and Sami interactions were good. Thought the Judgement Day segment with Andrade was fun but wonder what the feud with Ricochet will do down the road. R-Truth was funny talking about feeling sorry for whoever faced the jobber team of Indus Sher. New Day vs Alpha Academy was good. The Main Event was okay."
[5.0] "The only good things were the DIY vs. Creed Brothers, Ricochet vs. Dominik, a decent promo between Drew and Seth, and pretty much everything involving Sami and WALTER. Most of the show was very boring, very fake or very forced and pointless. Creating graphics ONLY for winning team before the match has even started is, certainly, stupid. Cody's promo was shallow, like "No, you! " type of response to The Rock's, only he was allowed to say a few swear words (thanks to the Rock, btw), which in and of themselves didn't make the promo any better. They even brought in Paul Heyman to keep viewers from dying of boredom, even though that was a waste of time. The Uso's promo... they didn't even try... And the women's main event... Bland, boring, predictable and has the most fake weapon use I've ever seen in WWE. It was embarrassing to watch..."
[6.0] "A solid show as the road to WM nears its destination. Main event ended up being the best match of the show. Some nice progression of feuds heading into WM. Drew particularly continues to be rather entertaining. Codys retaliation promo to Rock was in line with some of Rocks promos."
"9.0 - very good episode of Raw. Again, more storyline focus which is good as we continue the build to Mania. Great to see people like DIY win. Great progression from Chad Gable. Great to see people like Ricochet and Candice LeRae get opportunities to show their stuff. If we cant have the major talents wrestle, giving opportunities to those lower on the card is a great opportunity for development. Another great match from Becky. Nia continues to improve which is great to see. Great work from our Mania main eventers of Seth/Drew/Cody. Maybe the person who rated this a zero could give it a proper rating instead of being tribalistic as their comments on every event theyve rated shows."
[10.0] "Man, I hope you accidentally gave this a 0. It was one of the best events of the year. Good segments. Rollins finally stepping out of Drew's shadow, yet Drew remains in top form. Talking about Punk when he's not even here :D It feels like it's becoming part of their feud :P The interaction between Sami and Chad could lead to something interesting. The Last Women Standing stole the show. Becky vs Nia is the women's Match of the Year so far."
[10.0] "Who rated this a 0/10 lol, never change, It doesn't take too much to notice that but whatever I guess, this was an amazing RAW as usual, bookended by two great matches, one of which could potentially be MOTY for WWE and the latter the usual good Nia-Becky match with the former improving consistently. Also two great promos that tied up perfectly loose ends with Cody decimating The Rock in between, Seth-Drew heating up and the inclusion of Chad Gable during the IC Title feud."
[8.0] "[4.00/5.00]: In the lead-up to Wrestlemania, this episode was primarily focused on solidifying the card for the big event. While we did see some teams qualify for the ladder match, the majority of the show revolved around the promotional segments. The main event delivered, and the tag team match between DIY and The Creed Brothers was a standout. Additionally, compelling promos from Cody Rhodes, Seth Rollins, and Drew McIntyre were the major highlights, yet again. Props to Candice being an absolute "cunt" (I don't mean it in a bad way, no other words suited her here lol), love her for finding what suits her."
[9.0] "Between the Cody promo, another fantastic Nia Jax match (not even kidding, she has been incredible since coming back) and the return of one of my favourite teams in a prominent role in the Creeds I was extremely happy with this episode"
[6.0] "Good opening match with Gargano & Ciampa against the Creed Brothers, which was my highlight from this weeks Raw. Becky finally ended the revival feud from 2019 with Nia Jax. Cody Rhodes response to The Rock was okay. Otherwise an average Raw episode and far away from a perfect (10/10) show."
[8.0] "idk who gave this raw a 1 lol but this was a great Monday Night Raw! not as good as last weeks but still really good and it goes to show how much better Raw has been since the departure of Kevin Dunn. started off well with a great Brother vs Brother teaser for mania along with an AMAZING tag team match between DiY and the Creed Brothers, fucking brilliant match that started off slow but PICKED UP as it went on, Candice Lerae heel actions put a smile on my face as its the best shes been booked for YEARS. Then we got a very TV-14 promo from Cody that i loved every second of, that wwe championship is well overdue atp. Ricochet vs Dom was good, rather not talk abt Awesome Truth, but Seth and Drew delivered once again, the best mic workers in the business going head to head will never get old. New Day getting on the Mania card was a must for me and i was glad to see them rewarded for their work as of late. Becky vs Nia was a great way to end the show as Becky FINALLY gets one over Nia Jax, now we can actually focus on the Mania feud with Rhea which lacks a bit of substance atm, but regardless were getting a good match. 8/10 show, Raw has been better than Smackdown this year, The Rock on Smackdown every week has surprisingly done more damage for the show than good."
[4.0] "A worse than normal RAW, with the opening match and Becky Lynch's performance in the main event the only decent elements other than some of the promo segments. Keeping everyone safe for WrestleMania has become an issue earlier than usual now."
[9.0] "Solid show this weekend, love all the promos. The show was both opened and closed by a great match. The rests are just fine, can't wait for WrestleMania."
[8.0] "This was a great show with several decent matches and plenty of story-building segments. The Usos segment was perfection and has me anticipating the hell outta this Mania match. Cody's save shows that Jey isn't alone at Mania. I'm expecting Attitude Era level shenanigans throughout both nights. It's gonna be so awesome. DIY beat the Creeds in a fucking great match to qualify for the ladder match at WM. Holy shit, we're getting a 12-man tag team ladder match at WrestleMania. I could not be more hyped for this. Not surprised I'm going off about Mania now. Shit, that's the feeling I'm supposed to be left with after a "19-days-away" Raw. The rest of the action tonight wasn't anything groundbreaking, but everything in between was beautiful. Cody Rhodes, I swear to god, cuts the best promo I've ever seen on a weekly basis. Just as Cody wrapped up a perfect response to Rock's promo, Heyman came down to set up the catch for Smackdown -- Roman will come alone if Cody does. I kinda wanted more from Heyman and Cody on the stick together, but Cody's promo was gold and Heyman's part got across what it needed to. Chad Gable told Sami Zayn that unless he changes his strategy, he can't beat Gunther. The contract signing put over Gunther's chilling confidence and Sami's doubtful determination. Can't wait to see the match. Becky beat Nia in a LWS match. Staredown with Rhea afterwards really sold how much they hate each other. Nothing more to say really. This show was awesome. It's crazy to think that shows like this are the norm in the Dub these days."
