[6.0] "[6.0] The August 4th, 2025 edition of Monday Night RAW adds to the streak of very average shows that's been seen on Mondays. I was expecting a somewhat BIG show here but I was mistaken as it felt almost underwhelming and downright boring at times. The only highlights from this episode were the interaction with Becky Lynch and Nikki Bella, Rollins vs. Knight, the ending and the overarching Sheamus vs. Rusev brawl. Everything else ranged from bare bones to basic. Overall, a somewhat disappointing filler episode coming off of SummerSlam, It does set up a promising RAW next week."

"[8.0] Great Raw, I love seeing title defenses on not just PLEs, and we got some, LA Knight, Dragon Lee, and Sheamus were the highlights for me."

[5.0] "A transitional RAW that felt more like a reset button than a post-Summerslam momentum builder. While the groundwork for future PLEs like Bella vs Lynch and Sheamus vs Rusev was laid, the in-ring action lacked spark. Dom vs Lee and Knight vs Rollins stood out, but the rest felt like filler. The brand confusion with LA Knight and the repetitive Sheamus-Rusev booking raised eyebrows. At least the main event and the Bliss-Charlotte segments gave us something to talk about."

[7.0] "Overall, it was a pretty good episode. After the PLE, few new stories got started, and mostly old ones developed. And they did it in an interesting way. The beginning and ending were good, and there was something to get hooked on in the middle of the show. The matches weren't particularly exciting, and some storylines, like Lyra vs. Bayley and Naomi vs. Vaquer, only got a short backstage segment, which wasn't much. Lynch and Bella segment surprisely was fire. Becky's punch about Cena just cooked."

[5.0] "A more of less reset episode after Summerslam. A lot of setup for future PLE like Bella vs Lynch, Sheamus vs Rusev in a street fight, Teasing the fatal fourway for AAA Mega Championship. The matches on the card were mostly unexcitiing with Dom and Lee probably having the best match or maybe Knight vs Rollins."

[6.0] "I expected something more from a RAW after Summerslam, but it's WWE, so don't expect much more. It's a transitional show, a continuation of rivalries, nothing spectacular. The best part of the show was everything related to the main event, and Alexa Bliss and Charlotte."

[7.0] "1) Why everyone refuses to acknowledge the fact that LA Knight is a SmackDown superstar? I don't think it should be in Adam Pierce's jurisdiction to book a World Championship match in the main event of Raw with the challenger being from the blue brand. Unless there's a secret rule that if you feud with a member of another brand you can sneakily get yourself drafted to that brand, I don't know what LA Knight was doing challenging Seth for the World Championship like that. 2) Wait, they really booked another pointless match between Sheamus and Rusev? You gotta be kidding me. 3) When will Austin Theory finally come back to confront Grayson for all the shit he was talking about his back? 4) Can anyone remind me when the last time an episode of Raw ended on a good, positive note, with babyfaces standing tall and everything? Is it the curse of the black canvas?"

[4.0] "There's a username on this site called "BigFoamingFart" and that's the best description of not only this episode, but most episodes of Raw in 2025. I was about to call it Monday Night Complacency because we just signed a fat deal with ESPN to now charge fans a total of approximately $50/month between that and Netflix to watch WWE programming."

[8.0] "Got to respect Adam Pearce for at least trying to make this exciting and throwing in a few title matches and getting the crowd going. A few decent matches, Rusev Sheamus just beating each other up all over was fun and a world title match with an overbooked ending is always fun too"

"Not good, don't recommend it. It was all filler, no killer. The main event was semi good but beyond that, this show was an absolute stinker to watch."

[3.0] "Overall, the WWE is getting lazy. Coming out of a PPV the match quality could have been better but, WWE is relying too heavily on shenanigans. You had interference in two matches that were actually pretty good and a double-count out. The two matches that really shined in my opinion were Penta/Waller and the WWE Women's Tag Team title match. It is a waste of time to watch this stuff if EVERYTHING keeps coming down to shenanigans."

[6.0] "This Episode of Monday Night RAW was very up-and-down as it was one of the weaker episodes of RAW in recent times. We saw new storylines being started and some new challengers for Seth Rollins in LA Knight. But this show lacked a lot of new, fresh ideas. It's like we are in a repeating cycle, and the WWE Draft needs to come shortly to switch things up and give a fresh breath of air."

[5.0] "This was just so BORING. Nothing of note (apart from one good lynch line) happened. I genuinely think with the other drama I might be done. The shows are just so boring."

"Considering it was the Raw after SummerSlam, I was hoping for a bit more impact. Still, there were some enjoyable segments, even if the booking didn't always feel meaningful."

"Definition of filler, was not moved, judgement day, new day, and el grande americano are exhausting, so when the episode is centered around that you know it will be lackluster."

[7.0] "Ah, this time we had a RAW that was not as good as usual. There was nothing terrible about this RAW, but rather good to average things. The Rollins/Knight/Pierce promo was very good. Rollins was as interesting as ever, Knight made sense, and Pierce punished Rollins by giving him a match against LA Knight. Sheamus/Rusev was a bit of a disappointment. Despite the in-ring action being as good as ever, the length and ending were disappointing. The post-match was very cool, and we'll probably get a fourth match with stipulations, maybe at Clash In Paris. Penta/Waller was a random match. Even though it wasn't bad, it was a very classic match. The Flair/Bliss promo was nice but nothing more. The tag team match was decent but nothing more. Perez took the pin for the second time, which is interesting. The Lyra/Bayley segment is cool. The promo between Becky/Nikki was surprisingly good. Even though Nikki Bella is one of the wrestlers I like the least, she did well in this promo. They played around with reality a lot, and Nikki saying that Becky wants to prevent new stars from taking her place is very cool. Yes, we lose a lot of quality compared to the Becky/Lyra feud, but Becky has been so cool since her return that I want to get invested. Lynch choosing Dupri for her match last week is a great way to show Nikki Bella that she knows how to nurture talent. Dom/Lee was good but nothing more. The El Grande Americano storyline is getting worse and worse. The ME is unsurprisingly the match of the night. It was very good in the ring. The disqualification makes sense; Punk wasn't going to let himself be beaten after being robbed at SS. Knight asking Punk for an explanation is very good. The post-match segment is very cool, with Roman, Knight and Punk getting beaten up by The Vision.On the downside of this segment, where was Jey Uso? However, it seems that Roman Reigns will be absent until the War Games period, so why did they let him win at SS?"

[5.0] "It was a fine show. A World Title Match in the Main Event after one of the big 4 PLEs is a strong decision, but you already know the finish will not be a clean one. Rest of the show was a solide build up for what's to come next, but nothing groundbreaking."

[6.0] "HHH is a very reactionary booker. Every time he delivers a stinker of a PLE, he books a killer RAW to compensate. However, the opposite is also true as when he delivers a good PLE like Summerslam was over the weekend, he'll be complacent and book a mid RAW to follow up. Nothing here was actively bad but felt like either set up (LA vs Seth) or filler (Blair vs JD rematch, Dragon Lee vs Dom, Penta vs Grayson Waller). Only cool thing about the show was Sheamus and Rusev brawling throughout the entire episode"

[5.0] "Not a bad Raw episode but also not a really good one. Somewhere in the middle. Reigns might take another break until Survivor Series. Becky vs. Nikki? I'm not interested in that feud. The matches were mostly average or below that."
