[7.0] "Doubt the steel cage match tonight will be like the one I witnessed last night (osperay vs Fletcher) but I really am hoping for this to be the main event of the year for raw so far. Steel cage is a great stipulation espically who are in a story that hate one another and have chemistry Best raw on Netflix so far"

[7.0] "This show is a bit carried by the main event. A couple other decent things but overall this show wasn't very good imo. Liked the Iyo segment. Crowd was 100% percent behind her. The tornado tag match was pretty good too, even though I'm not feeling the ending."

[5.0] "his show is only remembered for the main event Steel Cage Match everything else sadly did really feel like filler and the main good thing about the main event was roman maybe the fact that punk and rollins hate eachother made it also watchable"

[4.0] "This show is only remembered for the main event Steel Cage Match, which for me is one of the most overrated Steel Cage matches of recent times. A pointless spam finisher, where they don't use the structure as they should, then the ok part came later when Román debuted, which is probably the only important thing about this show. The rest is all crap that you can skip."

[7.0] "A pretty solid show with the main event obviously being the main focus. They are doing their best to make Jey Uso look like a viable top guy but I'm still not sold on him being world champ. The tornado tag match was cool and the right team went over, but I'm not a huge fan of Raquel going over Bayley as I feel Lyra vs. Bayley would feel fresh and would be a better match. Roman's return was fantastic and it was fun to see destroy both Seth & Punk as well as the question of where Heyman's loyalty truly lies. Solid 3 star card."

[7.0] "A downgrade from previous week but nonetheless, it was still a good episode. The matches were not remakable at all and even the main event fell short of my personal expectations mainly because of the finisher spamming. The residual however consisted mainly of bright spots such as Roman's surprise return and the obvious pounding given to Rollins as well as the unexpected attack on Punk. , AJ/Paul segment also earns a place in the positives of the show. Another positive aspect was Chad's return after mastering the dark arts of Lucha Libre as well as Walter terrorising Jey for yet another week."

[8.0] "Another week, another excellent episode of Raw! All the stories are shaping up steadily ahead of WrestleMania even in the slightest way possible. The match quality was as great as the previous week, but the segments were not that great, but not too bad either, despite having more people lined up. Punk & Rollins wrote a more gritty chapter in their saga with an interesting development from Roman's interference, while the remaining stories have begun to pique more interest in different ways. Nonetheless, the momentum never dropped since the Chamber, and if it stays the same, WrestleMania is bound to be another spectacular spectacle like last year. 8.5 out of 10 points!"

[8.0] "Attended this Raw and enjoyed the experience! Definitely elevated by the steel cage match between Punk and Rollins that closed out the night, I'm going to remember it for a long time. The promo work had some high points. I think everyone in the back of their minds hoped for a surprise MSG Cena appearance during Cody's promo, so it was disappointing for that not to happen. However I gained a bit of respect though for Cody's face work witnessing him live, he does have the audience in his hand, you do genuinely get the feel he's the face of the company. Iyo Sky also deserves a shoutout for really elevating her character during the three-way promo for WM setup and getting the audience to take her more seriously. Tornado tag team match was pretty good, definitely agree it could easily have been something more intense/special considering the agility of the workers involved, but lucha 'gable' is okay too. Jey vs. Waller was meh, we were on a high going in starting off the show with the Yeet Chorus, but as the match progressed that buzz wore off. Raquel vs. Bayley felt like a dud, crowd never really got invested in that. It's a great shame because I feel like both are capable of real good work, but I didn't feel any chemistry between them in the match."

"Super weak episode outside of the Rollins/Punk feud. Started really good with the brawling and loved the main event but in between was some boring stuff. Appreciated Iyo being made to look a little stronger against Rhea and Bianca but I have a bad feeling she's gonna have short reign."

[4.0] "Another weak show with a fairly acceptable main event. Did Hunter forget that Roode is at WrestleMania? Jey Uso should win MITB, not the Rumble. Even if he becomes the leader of Alpha Academy, it would be better for his character. He is not ready to give a big match at WrestleMania. The main event match is not booked well, with a fairly acceptable ending and Roman's return and a likely Triple Threat at WrestleMania. Lucha Americana was a strange idea, and one feud that I hope gets a match booked for WrestleMania and is given a good time and is well-booked is AJ Styles vs. Logan Paul."

[7.0] "(07/10) RAW #1659 would have resulted as a total letdown had it not been for the outstanding main-event between Punk and Rollins. The episode was just okay. There was a ton of intrigue the whole way, and you do see little by little the importance of this year's road to Mania gradually climbing the closer we get to Night-one. Being that this was a bit of a homecoming for WWE (yes, I know they're based in Connecticut, but the Garden is their real home) many of us were hoping the latest RAW at MSG to be of epic proportions. But we also should not expect creative to take any crazy or dumb risks on the talent with WrestleMania just around the corner. Again, we were fortunate that Punk and Rollins threw on another instant classic to close the show. Get ready for that payoff!"

[8.0] "This was a pretty good episode of RAW! The best match by far was CM Punk Vs Seth Rollins in a steel cage match with Roman Reigns returning at the end. The best part of it was Heyman being seen with Punk which really sets up some great segments these coming weeks. The tornado tag team match was a fun match but I wish they used a few more weapons in the match besides just a table. I didn't care for the other two matches at all and if Jey Uso is gonna be a world champion he's gonna do better than that in ring. Cody Rhodes also cut a very good promo leading to Cody & Cena's first fade to face since EC. Overall fun episode of RAW!"

[7.0] "Decent RAW with most of the energy and high points being in the tornado tag and steel cage match with the Wiseman storyline starting to look real interesting."

[4.0] "First of all the rythm of the show was absolutely horrible with a lot of ads (outside of the ad breaks) a lot of replays and a lot of unecessary downtime, secondly there is only 4 matches in a 2 and a half hour show which is not okay for me, and thirdly all the matches were MID except the last few minutes of the tag match"

[5.0] "Shorter than usual Raw this week and not much of note on the show to write home about. Most interesting part of the show was probably the pro-Cena chants emerging into a dueling chant during Cody's promo. Be interesting to see where it goes but I reckon the management of the Cena Heel turn is in for a potential crowd derailment if they are not careful. The main event cagematch was uneventful save for the finish which leaves some nice unanswered questions."

"The main event stole the show and gave you an ending that is very important towards wrestlemania. Overall a solid show with storyline development. Loved the IYO, Rhea and Belair segment. They are ramping up building to WM but did have segments that the crowd didn't seem invested in such as Bayley and Raquel. New day also needs more heat in their segments"

[6.0] "I mean, maybe I'm just dumb but this felt like the lamest RAW since the debut on netflix. The matches besides the Steel Cage Match were all meh. The Iyo segment was pretty good but I'm seriously questioning what they're doing with Rhea's character since literally last week she was blaming herself and now its Bianca's fault again? Gable (? ) returning was pretty cool although I am curious onto what they do with him now with the whole lucha-bit. Would be funny if it turns out to be someone like Rey Fenix Jr. even though its very unlikely. But I mean outside of that stuff it was just alright. Logan v Styles segment was boring & the Judgement Day segments were whatever. Not the best but still better than practically anything Smackdown can put out rn."

[7.0] "This was an enjoyable enough show with main event being the by far best match of the night. I wish there would have been a bit more throughout the middle to make it more enjoyable but it still was good."

[5.0] "Pretty boring show honestly and if not for probably the last 45 minutes prolly the worst netflix raw. The IYO, bianca, rhea segment was great, and it really elevated IYO, and the main event between punk and seth and the return of roman was great. So overall prolly one of the weakest raws on netflix so far, but with a always hot msg crowd and 2 great angles it rounds to a 5/10"

[9.0] "I've been repeating myself for the last month and a half, but another very good RAW. The match between Jey and Waller is nice. I hope Waller and Theory get back into some interesting stuff. I didn't like the Logan Paul promo despite the respect I have for the professional. It was filler. The tornado tag is cool with good pacing and a very interesting ending. Happy with New Day pinning Rey Mysterio instead of Dragon Lee for the win. I think Rey Fenix is the luchador and LWO is going to have a rivalry against American Made. Cody's promo is once again very good. Since Cena's turn, Cody has been putting out cool and interesting promos. The match between Bayley and Raquel is acceptable. On the other hand, Raquel's win is great for finally getting a shot at the IC Women's title. Now for the Rhea/Belair/IYO segment. Finally Rhea has an interesting build, that of a woman who is jealous of a Belair who cheered for an IYO that Rhea never beat. Seeing Rhea and Belair face to face is excellent and when IYO interferes and slaps Rhea and Belair in the face is perfect. That moment is IYO's story. It's the story of a woman who's always taken a back seat and who breaks down to show that she's the champion. Can't wait for this match. Now the Main Event. WHAT A DAMN MATCH AGAIN. An epic duel between Rollins and Punk, who made no attempt to leave the cage. Roman's comeback, to a huge ovation, is excellent. The ending is perfect with Roman taking Rollins out of the cage in revenge for the Rumble. Sure Rollins won but it's not a win for Rollins given that Reigns stopped him from pinning Punk. Roman going after Punk makes total sense in terms of what happened at the rumble. The triple threat is launched. Will Paul Heyman side with Punk or Reigns? Excellent episodes of RAW. Well done."

[7.0] "A good weekly episode that, in my point of view, stands out mainly for its wrestling and the appearance of wrestlers like IYO SKY in the promo and Roman Reigns making his return from Royal Rumble. Finally, the Triple Threat is finally put into action and the WrestleMania lineup starts to get some color."

[6.0] "A bang average episode with an excellent main event. Mildly disappointed with the show if I'm honest. I also get why Roman Reigns interrupted the cage match, but I hated that finish. It was a slap in the face. The naff wwe escape and an interference finish is an underwhelming ending. The rest of the show was pretty much inconsequential."

[6.0] "The March 10th, 2025 edition of Monday Night RAW was one of the weakest ones we've gotten in a month or two. This show was felt very filler until they got to that steel cage match they hyped up the whole night. We got some slogs throughout the show like Uso vs. Waller and Raquel vs. Bayley. First half of the show was decent but forgettable and the second half was good but the only true highlight was Roman returning and taking out Seth and Punk for the attack at the Rumble. Overall, this episode felt a bit underwhelming considering it was MSG and I feel like it could have a more bigger feeling to it. [***1/4]"

"Would love to see more women's wrestling, but overall, it's a great show. A fantastic main event, continuing the feud between CM Punk, Seth Rollins, and Roman Reigns. A great lead-up to WrestleMania. Grayson Waller is such a great heel. Kinda knew Bayley would lost, but the ending could've been better."

[6.0] "This show had some good moments, Cody's promo was good and the main event had a lot of smoke going into it. The matches themselves weren't much to write home about about. The stuff with Chad Gable was fun as well."

"Super solid building towards Wrestlemania happening here with some great matches, they're really bringing the heat on Raw recently. You honestly just can't go wrong with a cage match at the Garden with that much talent in the ring. Despite all the obvious excitement with Cena vs. Rhodes and Punk vs. Rollins I can't help but especially excited for the women's title race with Iyo, Bianca, and Rhea. Big shoutout to the MSG crowd of course, they never let us down."

[8.0] "An excellent episode of Raw, really excited for WrestleMania, and we've got two new potential triple threats as a result from tonight. Jey Uso and Gunther hype is still on top, buzzing for that match, new new day looking great finally, lucha chad has me intrigued, very much looking forward to lyra and raquel when that happens, IYO sticking up for herself next to rhea and bianca was good stuff, and the steel cage was full on chef's kiss. Hell of a rivalry that may just come to a head at the biggest stage of all"

[5.0] "A Surprisely mid show given that it's a Garden show. The boring jey uso match followed by an awful Logan Paul and Andrew schultz promo segment. The tornado tag was a solid match that the show desperately needed. The Cody promo was solid. Bayley bs Raquel was a bore and a waste of time. The show however did finish very strong with the women's segment that did a great job of getting Iyo over and the feud between all three women over. The cage match was good and mixing in the Roman return at the end was fantastic. Overall I'd say just watch the women's segment and the cage match everything isn't really worth watching"

[8.0] "I thought this was a very good episode of RAW. Honestly thought the matches were better than the segments as I did not care for the Logan Paul promo or the women's champion segments. Chad Gable did have a fun interview and Cody had a good promo. MOTN was the steel cage match, with the tornado tag being a close second."

"Overall not a bad RAW, not spectacular but with the international tour beginning they managed to put an easy watch together. Logan Paul is a terrible promo and does not know how to react to a crowd at all, AJ I am so sorry we are wasting some of your final time in wrestling left on this guy. Jey Uso put together one of the most Jey Uso matches possible but at least it was short. The New Day vs LWO match caught me by surprise actually, a reminder that the New Day know how to make a good tag match and why Rey Mysterio, even at 50 has been one of one, why did the belt go to the Viking/War/whatever Raiders when they don't show up? It was obvious that Raquel was going to challenge for the Women's IC Championship so not sure a #1 contenders match was necessary. The Chad Gable gag with the guy in the mask was not bad I will admit. I do not care who is in the crowd for these shows, it is oddly the same people every few weeks so I question how much they get paid to be there. The Iyo segment was great, felt like the crowd (who were overall pretty hot the entire night) were really behind her and deservedly so. The Main Event was good, they didn't use the cage that much and it did veer into territory of them just hitting finishes on each other. Roman returning was predictable but at least we have lit a fire under this feud now because it going on for as long as it has definitely lost it momentum."

[6.0] "I was pretty into this match until Chad Gable showed up. Watching Chad Gable depresses me because every time he is on my screen all I can think about is how much better he would be in literally any other wrestling company."

[9.0] "This was a good episode of Monday Night RAW from Madison Square Garden. We saw the opening with Jey Uso taking down Grayson Waller, but after Gunther made his presence known, he took out Jey Uso, who he'll be facing next month at WrestleMania for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Logan Paul came out and cut an awful promo, but the segment was saved by AJ Styles, who called out Logan Paul. I'm hoping this isn't AJ Styles's WrestleMania match, and this is just a match they do for a Main Event on a RAW when they have that European Trip for the next couple of weeks. The Tornado Tag Team Match was so much fun. Rey Mysterio continues to show his age hasn't let up, as he had a great performance in this match. It is the same with Dragon Lee, who was the main highlight of this match as he was flying around everywhere and had some cool spots in this match. Chad Gable made his return as he now dons a mask and took out Dragon Lee and Rey Mysterio to help The New Day get the win. Raquel Rodriguez got the win over Bayley to be the next person who gets to face Lyra Valkyria for the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship. The Iyo Sky, Rhea Ripley, and Bianca Belair segments were great as Iyo Sky had enough and didn't wanna play third wheel in this feud as she slapped both of them and then exited out of the ring. The Main Event Match was the Match of the Night and potential WWE Match of the Year. CM Punk and Seth Rollins were dishes, blowing left and right, spamming finishers, and kicking out everything it was just amazing. Seth Rollins got the win by getting pulled out of the Steel Cage by Roman Reigns, who made his return and took out Seth Rollins and CM Punk to stand tall to close out the show. This was a very good episode of RAW it started off very rough in the first hour, but it started to pick up and ended up being a very good show."

[8.0] "Main event was a banger and one to remember, set-up their Mania match well with Roman getting involved. Also Iyo slapping both of Rhea and Bianca as they argued and ignored her. She reminded them both who she is and that she is the champion here. Loved that, don't make the champion a third wheel in a fued. Iyo to win at Mania please."

[8.0] "Great show from MSG, the matches were fine to great, the segments as well as promos successfully continued or enhanced angles and storylines, there was also some real star power on this card with very little filler. RAW delivers yet again."

[6.0] "The steel cage match was solid in the main event with Punk and Rollins. I also liked the Cody promo. I hope Gunther vs. Jey gets better in the upcoming weeks. This feud is boring so far. Overall an allright Raw episode but not a banger show like it used be in the MSG."

[8.0] "Madison Square Garden always delivers, and this was no exception! The collision course between CM Punk, Seth Rollins, and Roman Reigns is shaping up to be huge, and the added layer of Paul Heyman's loyalty just makes it even more intriguing. The possibilities are endless, and I'm all in on the hype. This was a fantastic night for WWE in their home arena, and it's clear they're building something special."

[9.0] "The show had a slow start, but it really found its groove in that final hour. The first half felt a little flat, without much to get excited about, but once they hit the Sky/Ripley/Belair segment and the main event, things kicked into high gear. The most important job of this show was to start laying the groundwork for WrestleMania, and they did that well, even if there's still a lot more to build. It wasn't perfect, but it served its purpose as a stepping stone toward the big weekend. Now, let's hope they keep the momentum going as we get closer to WrestleMania"

[8.0] "The Road to WrestleMania always brings this unique energy and creative focus that just hits different. This episode was no exception, with feuds getting deeper and the bigger picture coming into sharper view. There are so many storylines to sink your teeth into right now, and it's impossible not to feel the excitement building as we get closer to WWE's biggest show of the year. Whether it's rivalries heating up, surprises unfolding, or new matches taking shape, everything feels like it's leading to something massive. It's that special time of year where every moment feels like it matters, and this episode definitely delivered on that vibe."

"Weakest raw in months, Main event was really good as well as the women's segment but weak show other than that"
