[7.0] "Overall, this was a good show. The 2 out of 3 falls match between Lyra and Bayley was great and by far the best match of the show. Worst match was Bella vs Green, hoping Nikki can shake off the ring rust and catch up to the modern women. The other 2 matches were both good."
[7.0] "A RAW obviously influenced by Evolution the past weekend. A good amount of women's wrestling with a banger between Lyra and Bayley. A car crash with Nikka Bella and this pointless rivalry. Please Don't run it for 6 months because you Don't have other ideas. The AJ Styles appearance was funny, but I don't think it fits the serious character he's used to. The Nikki Bella match was seriously bad and the rivalry is another joke, just like the creative team sadly likes to write boring women's rivalries... The Gauntlet was a bit too long but it as ok to Watch. Nothing astounding, but yet it did the job to entertain me. And finally, that Reigns return ! The reaction of the crowd, the connection with them... I think it was better than his return last year at SummerSlam ! I was amazed by the reactions he can draw after 40 minutes of a hald dead crowd in front of a too long match."
"1) Can anyone explain to me why Iyo Sky, a woman who's gotten robbed of her championship after fighting her tooth and nail for it, comes out a few days later full of smiles, cheering, and everything, on her way to the ring in the center of which stands tall and proud the bitch who stole her title and was bragging about it just a few minutes prior. She should have come out with steam literally blowing out her ears and eyes full of rage, piercing a hole through Naomi. 2) CM Punk might have secured his title shot against Gunther at Summerslam, but the true winner of the match was Bron Breakker. It's not hard to notice the momentum that has recently been building up behind Bron. It all started last week with that badass promo "out of nowhere", and this week he went through arguably the best luchador in the world, the former US Champion, and the former World Heavyweight Champion one after another like a knife through butter. I'm excited to see what's next for the Big Dog. 3) Speaking of the former US Champion, since when LA Knight did become a member of the Raw roster? I mean, wtf was he doing in this gauntlet in the first place? It's one thing to sneak your ass in to screw up your nemesis, and it's a completely different thing to get a shot at #1 contendership for the World Title of that brand. SmackDown already looks bleak, and considering Roman is obviously on Raw now, losing star power in the form of LA Knight was the last thing the blue brand needed."
[7.0] "Good Raw, I liked that it had 3 women's matches post-Evolution. I thought that was smart considering how amazing Evolution was, and with the men's 40 minute gauntlet match the time given to each was closer to equal than usual."
[8.0] "Women's wrestling dominated this show, and because of that it was one of the better raws of the year. Only man who played a good role was Gunther, and I guess Roman came back too."
[7.0] "A solid episode of RAW with a couple of good matches and a couple of alright matches, some good segments like Gunther's promo when Bron Breakker came out to the ring ahead of the Gauntlet Match, the opening segment which set up the Women's World Title triple threat at Summerslam was worked into the show well. Raquel Rodriguez & Roxanne Perez vs Asuka & Kairi Sane: An alright opener for TV, Dominik Mysterio getting involved for the distraction spots was not needed, Asuka and Sane should have won, the pinfall looked weak to be honest, nothing really popped out in this one [**1/4]. Lyra Valkyria vs Bayley: They had an absolute quality match here with in ring psychology being worked well here, the crowd was into it and the right person won so Valkyria can have her rematch 1v1 with Becky Lynch at Summerslam, the action was really solid and MOTN definitely [****1/2]. Nikki Bella vs Chelsea Green: This was alright I suppose, it was too short and it came to be due to an angle at Evolution, they need to have a rematch down the road but be better booked next time [**]. CM Punk vs Bron Breakker vs Jey Uso vs LA Knight vs Penta: Punk winning was a surprise to see but I actually thought this was booked decently, Breakker dominated 3 out of the 4 others with Bronson Reed getting involved which should not have happened and I cannot wait for Punk vs Gunther at Summerslam, the match itself was decent but was not perfect [***3/4]."
[8.0] "This was a surprisingly solid episode of Raw. The first half being heavily focused on the women was actually refreshing and it worked very well. Bayley vs Lyra was easily the match of the night, intense, crisp, and it really showed how far Lyra has come. The gauntlet main event had its ups and downs, but it felt like it mattered. Naomi's promo wasn't the best, but you could feel the emotion behind it. CM Punk vs Gunther being set up is a big move even if I don't really like Punk as a human being."
[8.0] "Great episode of Monday Night Raw, Naomi promo was great, Bayley vs Lyra was really great, match of night, only mediocre thing was nikki bella vs chelsea green match, still its building up to a Stephanie Vaquer/Nikki Bella team up maybe against Secret Hervice or even going after the Tag Team Championship, we don't know, the main event was good, the gauntlet was good, and the return of Roman even if I am not a fan was good because the crowd ate hit, also CM Punk vs Gunther will be incredible."
[8.0] "This was a good episode of Raw where I thought the women stole the show. When I was first watching women's wrestling in the mid 2010s I could only dream of a day where raw had an hour straight of just the women and that's what this Raw had. The match of the night is clearly Bayley vs Lyra Valkerie, but the other two women's matches were decently good too. The main event I rated as average but would have been way lower of Punk hadn't won. I don't like Bron Breaker already but 4 straight Bron Breaker matches? Dear God no. As for the Roman return I had honestly forgotten he had left and I was more like Oh it's Roman when his music hit."
[6.0] "Good show overall. Good opener spoiled by outside interference. Solid number one contender's match to set up the Women's Intercontinental title match at SummerSlam. Good match between Bella and Green. Underwhelming but, good main event. Good build for SummerSlam and the women's division."
[6.0] "I almost just submitted a higher rating out of laziness but here goes... I think this show is over rated by quite a margin. The Lyra vs Bayley match was an undoubted banger. A high paced, technical banger that I really enjoyed. Almost everything else fell a little flat for me. The main event in particular was absolutely fine, but a bit of a disappointment. It felt slow, and it was so blatant and overly presented as a showcase for Bron that it was a little distracting. He looked like a beast, so they achieved what they wanted. But for me in the audience it felt a little soulless and cheap. Nothing else on this show was particularly memorable beyond Becky Lynch's outfit. Outstanding trolling."
[7.0] "Good episode, pretty much everything looked interesting, the women featured the first three matches, and also the opener, with Naomi, Rhea and IYO settling their SummerSlam title match, and the Gauntlet defined a super match between Punk and Gunther on SummerSlam. Roman Reigns's return finally happened, to a monster pop, and it's good to see him back, great way to end the show, a show that followed the weekend events properly."
[9.0] "Amazing episode of Monday Night RAW. They featured a little Evolution Part 2, with the women as the main focus, opening the show with the first three matches and backstage interviews. I love it; the women have been the bright spot in wrestling this year, consistently beating the men, and they are going to keep it up. WWE probably has one of the best women's rosters I've ever seen. We saw Bayley and Lyra Valkyrie have a Pay-Per-View match on TV for free, with Lyra Valkyrie heading to SummerSlam to challenge Becky Lynch for the WWE Women's Intercontinental Title. I enjoyed the main event gauntlet; it made Bron Breakker look like a madman as he took out Jey Uso, LA Knight, and Penta. He looked strong, and the booking lately has been great, but it wasn't enough--GTS took him out for good as CM Punk wins and goes on to SummerSlam to challenge Gunther for the WWE World Heavyweight Title. Afterward, Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed jumped CM Punk as he was pointing at Gunther, but Jey Uso, who is banged up, came to save him. That wasn't enough until a man who had been gone for three months returned: Roman Reigns, the OTC1, made his long-awaited return to save CM Punk and Jey Uso from Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed. He looked great and rejuvenated, and the crowd went nuts. Amazing RAW. This has been the best year of RAW, with Triple H as the booker--just endless fun and chaos. Please fix SmackDown and make it like this."
[9.0] "Soon, it will become normal to say that RAW is excellent. I really liked Naomi's promo. She was logical in her speech. Rhea and IYO wanting revenge makes sense. Making the match official for SummerSlam makes sense. The first match is good. Asuka is enjoyable and Kairi is clearly more comfortable as a team. The ending is great, makes sense Dom helping the JD win. Perez has pinned Asuka, I wasn't expecting that. Now it's time to talk about THE rivalry of the year 2025 namely Lyra/Becky/Bayley. Two Out Of Three Falls was excellent. The audience was divided and rocked. The suspense was there, Bayley had violent wrestling, the first two falls are great and the last one is excellent. Lyra winning is great, Becky/Lyra Chapter 3 is at SummerSlam. Karrion Kross video clip very cool. I have more and more hope for him. Bella/Green was not good. Nikki Bella in 2025 good... might be time to let go. Having Green lose to Nikki is an infamy. Chelsea Green her downfall is insane. It's amazing how they are booking Chelsea and her clan. Her clan should have been cool to accentuate the cowardly side Chelsea and give her success only because of Niven and Fyre. Heyman backstage reminding us that Rollins has a year to cash in is great. The Gunther/Heyman segment is excellent. Gunther bragging about clearing Goldberg, the Breakker/Gunther face-off was beautiful, Heyman highlighting Breakker, it was all good. The Gauntlet match disappointed me a little. Penta/Breakker I expected better in ring. Knight/Breakker was very cool. Uso/Breakker was mid and Punk/Breakker was good but nothing more. Congrats to Breakker for having such a long match, his credibility gets even stronger. On the other hand, I find it a bit weird that there's no DQ in the Gauntlet. They're 1vs1 sequences, it's like a single match. I'd have preferred to see Breakker win but Punk/Gunther, what a poster. I'm waiting for the promos. And yet the show didn't end there as we had the return of the Tribal Chief. HUGE OVATION. I wasn't expecting him to come back. Very good to have Punk and Reigns not getting on too well despite their common enemy. As Sheamus would say, RAW is Banger after Banger after Banger."
[7.0] "This show was pretty enjoyable. If I'm being honest, Roman Reigns returning at the end isn't enough to move the score up or down. I thought the Best Two Out Of Three Falls match was obviously terrific and the Gauntlet Match was enjoyabe but a lot of this show was a bit of a slog so there's only so high that I can rate this episode of RAW."
[6.0] "This first hour of Raw was really good with the main focus on the womens division. Becky versus Valkyria was a good tv match, Nikki against Chelsea on the other hand not so much. The second half of Raw was weaker, very weaker. The main event match disappointed. First half was a 8/10, second half was a 4/10."
[6.0] "The opening match was fun and the Lyra-Bayley match was straight up excellent and was just as good as the triple threat match they had with Becky at Evolution. With that said, this episode takes a complete nose dive after that. We get a quick Match between Bella and Chelsea which was inoffensive but still not good, and then you follow it up with one of the worst Gauntlet matches I have ever seen with boring action up until the Punk section which was still dampened by backwards booking. Only saving grace is that Punk actually won the match"
[9.0] "Very good matches, a continuation of the story of what happends at Evolution last week, some matches announced (still don't know how the crowd can be hyped by the Jelly Roll match but ok lol.) women wrestling was also good. And of course my fav part would be the gauntlet match of Bron Breakker where he faced many wrestlers then lost to Punk all of this while Gunther was watching from his seat on top, i'm pretty sure it's not the first time it was made but still very good."
"[8.0] solid show. with some women wrestling that keeps the hype from evolution event. The road to summeslam hast begun and looks fun and with great feuds."
[8.0] "Although not without its flaws, this was definitely one of the better RAW shows I've seen recently with a bunch of good and often funny segments and some decent tv matches. First of all, 3 women's matches in a row was a really cool thing to see post Evolution, and now we will see a triple threat between Rhea, Iyo and Naomi at the next PPV. The tag match was good, even if I wanted Kabuki Warriors to win. You just can't go wrong with the Kabuki Warriors. Lyra v Bayley was a solid bout with solid storytelling, some nice false finishes and both women took some hard bumps. The Nikki Bella match was for the most part executed fine aside from the botched finish but considering Nikki's age and ring rust I think she did a good job overall, and finally the main event which was literally the only men's match on the card was a real treat for Bron Breakker fans because that man really dominated that gauntlet match. Oh and Roman Reigns returning was also an interesting surprise."
