[5.0] "[5.0] This RAW didn't impress me any or do anything really important besides build the triple threat at SNME and possibly the Final Testament Feud with the Wyatt Sicks. I would like to say more positive things like Dakota Kai's performance or the Main Event, but I really just can't. I feel bad for giving it a 5 because WWE has been on fire recently, this was just really not a memorable RAW at all, still excited for SNME."
[5.0] "One of the lamest, worst produced, rushed and boring WWE shows of the whole year. Thank god the segments in this were mostly good, because everything else was so damn mediocre. Opening segment was ok, I guess. Everything related to the Priest vs Bálor feud is so irrelevant and dull to me, but at least Gunther's character development is being interesting as every match does something for him. Winning at Survivor Series made him gain a bit more of confidence, but now he's rather unsatisfied with how he managed to win and wants to take on Finn Bálor for ruining his match. Adding Priest into this match is not a bad call. We know he was going to interfere in the match, so it's better to have him already in it and it makes sense since he was screwed out of the title at Survivor Series, so no he has a chance to beat up Bálor once again and take the World Title home at the same time. Final Testament and Miz vs Wyatt Sicks was the best match of the night and it wasn't anything but just a fine brawl. A good hot tag from Erick Rowan, a cool Handspring Clothesline from Gacy, some good athleticism from Lumis and the return of Paul Ellering to take some revenge on Uncle Howdy for attacking him. Nothing here looked relevant, but it wasn't bad and having the Final Testament win this was the good call. It keeps the feud alive, puts Kross over for once and the Sicks are rendered as humans instead of being supernatural, which helps them being more relatable as characters. CM Punk's interview was fine and adds a new layer to his story with Seth Rollins, who is being also portrayed as going delusional and being the villain of his story in the same Kevin Owens and Drew McIntyre fashion when he's actually right in everything that he claims (just like KO and Drew). Punk was kicked out and he went 10 years of shitting on WWE, he goes to AEW and on his first promo on Rampage he talks about returning to Wrestling for the first time since 2005, once again shitting on WWE, but as Seth said, things didn't work out well for him there and the money was good on the other side, so he came back. And Rollins is the one being booed and Punk the one being cheered when he sounded way more honest and truthful than Punk. Holy shit, Bryan Danielson was right when he called them crowds fickle and sheep. I know that shooting is already overdone and it's an too easy resource to gain some attention in the business, but I think this would've been a perfect moment for Rollins to take the risk and speak clearly about the Bucks and Jack Perry as the reasons Punk left AEW and came back to WWE. Rollins promo was really good and his moment with Sami was also interesting. They have a good relationship that took a turn because of their different views, they solved their problems in the ring and they made amends and I feel that moment between them is just a new paragraph on their personal little situation and that they're going to collide in the future, this time with Rollins going full heel on Sami. Drew McIntyre delivers a good taped promo that makes him move away from Punk after HIAC but doesn't forget him and links him with their new targets, Jey Uso and Sami Zayn, for the same reasons KO is going after Cody Rhodes (seriously, KO, Drew and Rollins have to team up in the RTWM or something, their characters are so similar and they have common enemies). Dull Dakota Kai vs Liv Morgan match, with some good ideas but very poorly executed. Match got badly influenced by PFC interference, taking away much of the focus on the match and making it about the post-match attack no one cares about. Lyra Valkyria advances in the tournament for the IC Title after a quite lame match due to the poor level of Zelina Vega, who constantly killed all the good pace and vibe that Ivy Nile was adding to the match. The New Day got resurrected with their heel turn and they got one of the best moments, if not the best of the whole show and they barely had to do anything. The crowd made 90% of the segment with giving nuclear heat to them and they couldn't cut the promo. They're playing their new characters really good, acting like they're the same guys as always, claiming they didn't do nothing wrong, but they do everything with a clear heel aura. Amazing performance. Main Event was just one of the worst WWE matches of the year, horribly worked, full of botches on both sides, Raquel Rodríguez being as irrelevant as a fart in the desert, Rhea Ripley being put over just because she's a huge star and nothing else, nothing interesting happening in the match and Io Shirai being eclipsed as contender by Rhea with that forced fanservice ending shot. Really lazy and mediocre show."
"A normal show but it could be better. I think someone like Chad Gable should have more opportunities for titles instead of being a jobber with his stable zzz"
[5.0] "Diese Ausgabe von Raw war eher durchschnittlich. Das Eight Man im Opener ist trotz Beteiligung der Wyatts sehr blass, zumal das Finish darauf hindeutet, dass diese bisher uninteressante Story mit Final Testament weitergeht. Das Three Way der Frauen war in Ordnung, ohne ein großer Knaller zu sein. Erstaunlich war die Heat für Kofi und Woods. Rollins' und Zayns Promo-Segment war diesmal nicht ganz so stark, aber OK. Der Build für SNME scheint mir hier einiges durcheinander zu bringen. Es kein echter PLE, aber auch nicht nur eine normale Fernsehshow. Das bringt alles ein bisschen aus dem Rhythmus."
[3.0] "When an episode like this has so little match time it needs to stand out in order to be good. In my opinion, not a single match on the card was above average. The two hour format is thankfully ending soon, so I hope that longer matches will be back in the future."
[7.0] "I thought this RAW was a decent episode and progressed a lot of stories. Wyatt Sicks Vs Final Testament was a good opening match and with Final Testament winning it takes the story to another level. I enjoyed Punk & Rollins story progression and New Day segment."
[5.0] "Average episode of Monday Night RAW. New Day becoming the most hated heels in the company was interesting and Seth's promo was good although very similar to Drew's. MOTN was the opener but none of the matches were great."
[5.0] "A overall poor episode of RAW. I think the two hour format really hit the in - ring matches as every match felt rush and didn't hit a 2nd gear in the matches. I thought the Seth Rollins Segment & The New Day Segment were the only positives of this show but besides that a very poor overall show. I was happy to see the women get 75% of the matches tonight but I hate the fact all felt rush and they didn't really lt them go at the full potential. The Final Testament vs. The Wyatt Sicks should've been a stipulation Tornado Tag Match because a general tag team didn't work in my opinion. Next week the card is looking very good with two title matches, and another first round matchup for the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship Tournament."
[5.0] "Overall, the storylines are progressing steadily, but from a match quality perspective, all four matches were fairly average, and the excessive commercials severely disrupted the shows pacing. I can only chalk this up to being a necessary pain ahead of the transition to Netflix."
[5.0] "What the hell was that? WWE is playing with our emotions, right? In the last three weeks we've had a bad show, one of the best shows in history, and right after that we get one of the WORST Raws of the Triple H era. The 8 Man Tag Team Match was mid. For some reason, WWE dropped the ball with Wyatts Sicks in the last couple of months. There are interesting moments here and there, but nothing like it was in the beginning. Ah, I know why the show sucked - because the women's wrestling dominated it. I have been saying it for a long time - women's wrestling sucks. Now you understand why AEW doesn't do more than one women's match on their shows? Because nobody cares about women's wrestling as much as they do for men's, and their ratings already suck, so they can't afford to experiment, but WWE can and they did. I think it was the last show we will ever see with more than 2 women's matches. The only good thing about this RAW was the Punk - Rollins angle and the New Day stuff, but it's nothing in comparison to the last show."
[7.0] "Je pense que c'était un Raw moyen, je suis surpris qu'il ai une note aussi basse. J'ai bien aimé les promos, j'ai aimé voir MAMA revenir de blessure et le main event qu'elle nous a donné. La victoire de Lyra est une bonne chose, elle semble favorite pour remporter le tournoi."
[7.0] "It wasn't an amazing episode but think the current rating is a bit ctitcal. I enjoyed it, even the main event, glad to see Rhea and Raquel back from their injuries and doing a solid job in a Raw main event. Lyra winning her match was expected, Wyatt Sicks losing is good to further the anger of them to a higher level."
[8.0] "A good episode I thought, I'm surprised by how low the rating is. No bad matches and a lot of excellent storyline progression, plus Lyra Valkyria's surely inevitable victory in the tournament and midcard title reign will be well-deserved. With the Netflix era fast approaching WWE's momentum will only increase."
[7.0] "Enjoyed the promos and story progression. Ive been really happy to see Kross getting ample screen time and actually picking up some wins lately. Lyra picking up the W in the womens tournament is a good move. The matches themselves were less entertaining than they average, but again they did a great job setting up for Saturday Nights Main event and the move to Netflix"
[7.0] "I think this was a fine raw. Yes the match quality was underwhelming, but I actually really enjoyed all the promos and story beats, just wasn't as bad as people seem to think. I think this episode did well setting up the possible future matchups that will determine wrestlemania aswell"
[4.0] "All four matches were average at best, a few good segments/promos made this an adequate episode of RAW. Akam, Karrion Kross, Rezar & The Miz vs Dexter Lumis, Erick Rowan, Joe Gacy & Uncle Howdy: It was an average multi man match, not much noteworthy happened, the ending was not right with Final Testament cheating to win, should have been booked better without a doubt [**]. Liv Morgan vs Dakota Kai: An obvious win for Morgan here, a loss that makes Kai look weak even though she is in the women's IC title tournament, Pure Fusion Collective coming down to ringside was pointless as was this match [*1/2]. Lyra Valkyria vs Ivy Nile vs Zelina Vega: It was a fine match but was interrupted by ad breaks, the action was average to fine at best, nothing noteworthy happening and Lyra winning was the right choice [**]. Rhea Ripley vs Raquel Rodriguez: Not the match I had expected it to be, Liv Morgan and IYO SKY getting involved should not have happened, Rhea winning was the only good thing [*1/4]"
[5.0] "A very filler episode of Monday Night RAW. It seemed like they just wanted to get things over with for the upcoming Saturday Night's Main Event. We opened with Gunther and Finn Balor trading verbal blows before Damian Priest returns and attacks Finn Balor and they brawl before Balor gets the upperhand on both men. The Wyatt Sicks vs. The Final Testament was not good in any sense of the word. It wasn't horrendus but very average with a poor finish. Dakota vs. Liv was aight but nothing special. We had a good Drew McIntyre video package that was the best part of the show other than The New Day trying to talk but the crowd not letting them. Sami apolgized to Seth and then Drew attacked Sami on the ramp. Zelina vs. Ivy vs. Lyra, I thought was alright too, nothing special. The final match was so predictable and a bit of a let down. Overall, This episode was very obviously not thought about and just left there so they could move on. [**3/4]"
[5.0] "This broadcast suffered greatly due to the huge amount of advertising (they literally added it to the main event, which began 10 minutes before the end of the broadcast), and at the same time a huge number of stories that needed to be developed. There was an acute shortage of the third hour. The worst episode in the last month and a half, but still with visible benefits."
[3.0] "Sloppy, badly paced, badly performed, obvious winner, interrupted by ad breaks. I could copy and paste this review for every match because they were all the same. This entire show was a disgrace. I cant believe the premier wrestling company can get away with this level of garbage. Every single match was poor, and derailed by seemingly endless and constant ad breaks. The segments with New Day and Rollins/Punk while compelling, were nowhere near enough to carry this show. I have rarely been less entertained while conscious. If WWE wants to chase off the fans they managed to retain (by miracle) since 2019, they are going the right way about it. How anyone has rated this above a 4 is beyond me and they should be as ashamed as Paul should be. Genuinely livid."
[6.0] "Not a strong RAW. There wasn't any match that worth rewatching. This episode was more about storyline. Finn looked strong and dominated Gunther. Sami made peace with Rollins only to get attacked once again by Drew. Last but not least, the visual of Rhea and IYO holding the title at the same time was a good tease."
"Not the strongest week for in-ring action, while it was great to see a focus on womens matches, the quality didnt quite hit the mark. The highlights were definitely everything involving CM Punk and Seth Rollins, plus the unexpected reaction to the New Day."
[7.0] "Was there live so I am biased in my opinion, not really surprised to see the low ratings on here, I understand the criticism of this being a promo heavy episode with little in ring wrestling which even in person was disappointing however for the matches we did get I didn't find them to be nearly as bad as they are rated on here especially the triple threat and the main event. My only other disappointment was CM Punk getting a backstage segment and not coming out in front of that crowd."
[6.0] "Anyone else notice that there must be an influx of WWE haters or new users onto this site who always bring the scores down. By the ratings WWE has gotten for the past few months youd think were back in 2019 Vince Booking Hell. Like sure this Raw wasnt Great but gee whiz. Some people are so over dramatic and plop on ratings between 1-4 for the slightest mishaps. At least Storylines are Interesting and all the Wrestlers feel like real characters now. And yet every match seems to struggle to reach even a rating above a 6 recently."
[7.0] "A promo heavy episode which was good for what it was. In-ring quality wasn't there but especially Seth - Sami segment was cruicial as we slowly enter the Wrestlemania season. Normally I'd give this episode a 6 out of 10 but since consolewar trolls started to spam comically low ratings, I figured a 7 would be ideal."
[1.0] "A very disappointing episode of raw none of the matches got given any time and all of them even with the time they got were very disappointing obsvidoky theee next couple of raws are filler until raw on netflix but sell very poor episode"
[3.0] "From a in-ring wrestling standpoint this was a really poor episode of Monday Night Raw, which is a bit sad because WWE gave the women 3 matches on the show, which is rare. Just watch the New Day and CM Punk & Seth Rollins stuff if you want pick the few good parts out of this weeks Raw."
[6.0] "A poor in-ring RAW, I give them credit for three of the four matches being women's matches, but none of them were particularly good. The show was carried by everything involving CM Punk and Seth Rollins, and the New Day getting booed out of the building."
[4.0] "Naja, also die Matches konnte man Komplett vergessen. Anything Goes Matches oder generell Matches mit Stipulation sind Immer okey, so auch der Main Event zwischen Ripley und Rodriguez. Trotzdem war es jetzt auch nix was man gesehen haben muss. Genauso wie die anderen Matches auch nix großartiges gewesen sind. DAS was aber interessant gewesen ist, waren bei dieser Ausgabe die Promos und Segmente. Die haben mir wirklich gut gefallen. Man setzt mit Sami Zayn vs. Drew McIntyre ein gutes Match noch auf die Card. Mal so als kleine Randnotiz: Die Card für Saturday Night Main Event kann sich echt unglaublich sehen lassen. Das Segment mit Kofi Kingston und Xavier Woods war auch gut. Und Seth Rollins und CM Punk intensiveren weiterhin ihre Storyline mit guten Hintergrund Geschichten. Eine Gute Storyline die wahrscheinlich wenn beide gesund bleiben, bei Wrestlemania im Main Event enden wird. Insgesamt gebe Ich der gesamten RAW Ausgabe, 4 Punkte. Hört sich jetzt komisch an nachdem Ich die Promos und Segmente so gelobt habe, aber in einer "Wrestling Show" würde Ich halt auch gerne gutes Wrestling sehen. Und das war leider hier absolut nicht am Start. Da war der Opener noch am angenehmsten."
