[5.0] "Solid episode. Punk and Gunther face off, but they don't really have much of a back and forth and it's more just like Gunther talks (and cooks him tbh) at Punk for most of it. Then there's a good Rusev and Sheamus match, wasn't expecting Sheamus to win there but wtv. We moved onto the next match which was a very good triple threat tag match for the #1 contendership, which was won by the LWO, who I thought were gonna take the pin so I'm glad to see that they actually won. Then we had a very awkward promo battle between Becky and Lyra which I thought was good but pretty messy overall. Next was a Women's Tag Title match between the Champions, The Judgement Day, and BayLyra, which I thought was very good stuff as always with these talents. Then we had a boring match between Karrion and Sami, but afterwards was the peak of the show in my opinion, the Steph vs Iyo match, that was pretty good I thought, but then the main event segment was a very boring generic beat down and rumor has it, Jey is still trying to catch his breath."

[7.0] "Diese RAW stand wieder unter dem Zeichen, wir haben es über Wochen nicht geschafft, SummerSlam aufzubauen und fang an nach Evolution. Das klappt jedoch auch in Woche zwei von drei die man Zeit hatte wieder gut. Sie können echt eine Art Hype oder eher Vorfreude bei mir entwickeln. Und das ist doch schon mal nett. Dazu hatte die Show ein paar solide Matches, aber vieles wirkte auch inkonsequent. Die Show schwankte zwischen guten Ansätzen und verschenktem Potenzial. Das Women's Tag Team Title Match war ohne Plan da. Hätte dann Lyra 2 Matches gemacht, hätten sie gewonnen? Man hat es aber generell gut im Finish gelöst, aber der Rest um den Titeln war ein Rätsel. Wer dieses Booking verantwortet, ist wirklich fraglich. Beim Triple Threat Match um den #1 Contender Spot wurde einiges an Potenzial verschenkt. Es endete viel zu abrupt, obwohl mit El Grande vs Dragon Lee ein wie ich fand vor paar Wochen schon starkes Match(-Up) bei hoffentlich SummerSlam angedeutet wurde wo Chad hinzukommt...wäre da nur eine PreShow. Rusev vs Sheamus war ein klassisches , , Meat vs Meat"-Match, nicht revolutionär, aber unterhaltsam. Gerne auch das nochmal bei SummerSlam. Auch Sami Zayn vs Karrion Kross war okay, aber beide können mehr. Auch hier: SummerSlam bietet sich an, um wirklich abzuliefern. IYO SKY gegen Stephanie Vaquer fing stark an, aber endete ohne sauberes Finish. Fand ich schade, aber man wollte nicht das Pulver für die Zukunft verschießen. Die Segmente waren stark. Bin gespannt was bei Smackdown passiert."

[4.0] "A disjointed episode that had solid in-ring action, but nothing really connected and had plenty of issues up and down the show. Just lacked any kind of energy from the performers as well as the crowd in attendance for this one"

[7.0] "Above average episode of RAW. CM Punk should have had a back-and-forth promo with Gunther. Because, the first time they're in the ring together, Punk shoved him down and talked crap to Gunther, and Gunther just sat there, did absolutely nothing? We're talking about the most dominant heel in the company here. Then, in their second face-to-face, he acted like nothing happened at all? Triple H should've booked this feud with a little bit of sparks. Not just a 101 pro-wrestling promo like they did last night. Dominik Mysterio and AJ Styles's feud has been fun. I like how AJ had like 3 different jobs in one episode. Vaquer having more screentime was nice, but more than the current champion Naomi who got an important match ahead at SummerSlam? Breaking up A-Town Down Under off screen was a nasty work. With Grayson Waller being in The New Day storyline, I don't know what's next for Austin Theory when he returns from injury. Roman and The Oracle's group segment was great. We could see how confident Roman Reigns on the mic even without Paul Heyman by his side. This is what they're attempting to do with Bron Breakker as well. It looks like we're going to get a tag match at SummerSlam with Roman Reigns & Jey Uso vs. Bron Breakker & Bronson Reed. A bit disapointing since what people want more is a single match between Roman vs Bron, but kinda understandable or Rikishi is about to explode if his son doesn't get Summerslam spot."

[8.0] "This week's RAW was actually fun to watch. The matches had good flow, and the storytelling felt strong throughout. Punk and Gunther's segment brought serious hype, and Roman's final moment with Jey Uso gave real chills. Sheamus vs Rusev was a banger, and Karrion Kross vs Sami Zayn had solid intensity. Overall, it felt like a proper buildup for SummerSlam -- not perfect, but definitely a strong episode."

[9.0] "This episode of RAW was solid. The show kicked off with CM Punk being announced as the #1 Contender for Gunter's World Heavyweight Championship. Gunter and CM Punk had a heated face-off where Gunter stated, "I'm going to make you regret you ever set foot inside a professional wrestling ring. You will never be the best in the world." After dropping the microphone, Gunter walked out. Next, Sheamus faced Rusev in a highly competitive match. During the bout, Rusev exposed the turnbuckle, looking to use it to his advantage. However, Sheamus took advantage of a distracted referee, pulling Rusev into the exposed turnbuckle before delivering a Brogue Kick that allowed him to pin Rusev and win the match. The evening continued with a Triple Threat Match featuring LWO, The New Day, and American Made for the #1 Contendership for Judgment Day's World Tag Team Championship. After a commercial break, The New Day initially dominated. However, as Dragon Lee joined the fray to fight off The Creeds, El Grande Americano came out to assist. Del Toro climbed to the top rope and wiped out American Made. In the ring, Wilde managed to pin one of The New Day members, securing a victory for LWO. After the Triple Threat Match, Becky Lynch came out to express her disappointment about missing the premiere of her new movie, "Happy Gillmore 2, " in New York, claiming she was stuck in Houston, Texas. She called out Lyra, accusing her of gatekeeping championship opportunities. Lyra responded by joining Becky in the ring. The two engaged in a back-and-forth that led to a stipulation: a No Count Out, No Disqualification match for the Intercontinental Championship. Becky added that if Lyra lost, she would be barred from ever challenging for the IC Championship again. Lyra agreed but then delivered a Man-Handled Slam to Becky. Later, Bayley and Lyra faced The Judgment Day for the Women's Tag Team Championship. At the start, Raquel and Roxanne isolated Lyra, working her over. However, Lyra fought back and tagged in Bayley, who exploded into the match and took control, driven by the urgency to win the championship gold. Unfortunately, the match took a turn for the worse when Dominik Mysterio attempted to interfere. AJ Styles pretended to be a medical personnel to distract attention. Meanwhile, Becky sneak-attacked Lyra at ringside, and Raquel hit Bayley with a Tejada Bomb, allowing Judgment Day to retain their Women's Tag Team Titles. Following the Women's Tag Team Title Match, Sami Zayn faced Karrion Kross after their confrontation at Night of Champions. Kross aimed to drag Zayn toward the dark side. He managed to defeat Zayn after Scarlett distracted the referee by sliding in a lead pipe. Kross countered Zayn's Helluva Kick to secure the pinfall victory. After that, Iyo Sky squared off against Stephanie Vaquer. The match was progressing well until The Secret Service caused a distraction that allowed Chelsea Green to interfere. Naomi attacked Iyo from behind, leading to a disqualification for both Iyo and Stephanie. Rhea Ripley then made her way to the ring, taking out Naomi and taking down Green to end the match in a no contest. To close out RAW, Roman Reigns interrupted a segment involving Heyman, Breakker, and Reed. The show concluded with Jey Uso and Reigns delivering spears to Reed and Breakker."

"1) Am I the only one who doesn't find the Sheamus vs. Rusev matches as big of a deal as WWE makes them out to be? They are actually pretty boring. Btw, Sheamus is losing color in his hair. Can you imagine him being COMPLETELY white? That would be SICK! 2) My stupid ass has only now realized that all this time El Grande Americano has been Ludwig Kaiser. How could anyone think that under that mask was Chad Gable is beyond me. 3) What did Grayson Waller do to Austin Theory? What has happened to him? Why don't we see him on TV anymore? Why does The Big G so openly talk about their friendship be no more? We didn't see them actually breaking up, right? It all feels so inconsistent, borderline surreal. Austin hasn't been released, has he? 4) That segment where Dominik attacked AJ Styles from behind and announced that he's cleared seconds after a medical worker literally said they had to do more analysis to come to the conclusion regarding the health status of the Intercontinental Champion felt so damn jarring. It made so little sense and just ended up looking like a cheap setup to give Mysterio an opportunity for the cheap shot."

[8.0] "Good episode that include a few great matches, especilly IYO vs Stephanie, good segments in start, mid and ending of the show, very fun moments with Styles and Dominik and many other things that going us to SummerSlam. Storylines finally raised and this episode helps to promote them to PLE."

[6.0] "This was a bit boring even on Netflix with forwarding option, way underwhelming. You expect so much from Punk promo, but I think even he has not recovered from Cena exposing him or rather I should say HHH exposing him. Everyone waited for the final segment but even that had so many awkward moments and a lesser match to come out of it. Wrestling was decent, nothing to cover for the bad stories and segments. No way it feels Summerslam is around the corner. Sometimes I think if people start rating in the 3 hour live format which actually should be the case as a reviewer because company originally is presenting in that way, I don't think these go beyond 4-5. Its barely watchable in the original format."

[9.0] "I thought this was a pretty good raw that progressed the main storylines and got me hyped for Summerslam. Sheamus vs Reuse was a great match and I Wasn't expecting less because they are both great. I thought both tag matches were decent, but Kross vs Zayn was not good and boring. Sky vs Vaquer was great and I cant wait until they wrestle on a PLE with a clean finish."

[7.0] "Solid episode bookended by the two best matches. Weakest match was Sami vs Kross which was fine just did not peak my interests. The Heyman/Roman exchange at the end of the show was very good. I also enjoyed the AJ/Dom segments throughout the show and the Becky and Lyra exchange."

[7.0] "As an episode, it was good, but it's a drag that lasts 3 hours. I liked it and it's an episode that moves things forward but other than that it's a solid episode, although it leaves you wanting to see what happens at SummerSlam and there's still some time left."

[7.0] "Solid episode, with some interesting matches, a great impromptu super bout between IYO and Vaquer, and interesting developments for SummerSlam, like the opener segment between Punk and Gunther, and the main event was very interesting, Roman returned and he's over as hell, his clash of words against Heyman and Breakker set well the tone for a Jey Uso run-in, that will probably culminate in a tag team match at SummerSlam."

[8.0] "This was a very underwhelming episode of Raw at first but picked up your attention and picked up fire throughout the night. A lot of filler that you could skip watching on dvr, but definitely recommend The opener and the last match of the night. Roman segment was kino as always, and is what boosts this rating for sure. Promos and interviews getting us to Summerslam were all good, albeit not all the buildups are to matches we all want to see."

[9.0] "One of the better recent Raw episodes with some good in ring action and also furthered some storylines heading into the next couple PLEs. Sheamus and Rusev having a nice hoss fight and really enjoyed Iyo vs Vaquer. Only big downside was the crowd having moments where they sucked but it wasn't the worst crowd ever."

[8.0] "This was a very enjoyable episode of Monday Night RAW, featuring further story development heading into SummerSlam. CM Punk and Gunther had their first promo segment, which was very well done.CM Punk is collaborating with someone he hasn't worked with before, bringing a fresh dynamic that is much needed. The two women's matches on the show were the highlight, demonstrating that women remain a key focus for WWE this year. The introduction of new challengers for the WWE World Tag Titles, like LWO, adds freshness and could help revive. I appreciate the RAW Tag Division. Overall, this was a well-organized episode, and RAW continues to deliver entertaining stories and good matches."

[7.0] "I was sports entertained. Highlight of the show - AJ Styles cosplaying as parking valet, janitor and ringside medical. Judgement Day are so entertaining. Stephanie vs Iyo, Judgment Day vs Bayley and Lyra were great. Kross vs Sami was boring but at least they did the right thing and gave Kross a win. Roman Reigns cut a fantastic babyface promo. That was so good. Bron cut a cookie cutter promo. I definitely he has done so much better promos before. Rest of the show was enjoyable as well. But I am pretty pissed that they disbanded Theory and Waller off screen. Triple H should pay for his crimes against RAW tag team division."

[6.0] "Ok show with two decent matches and the rest kind of perfunctory. CM Punk shoving Gunther to his ass and Gunther sitting there staring like a goober was great unintentional comedy. Even in kayfabe it's hard to buy this because Punk has always had a very average physique and he's always been uncoordinated and not very athletic. Why WWE continues to make Gunther look weak is beyond my tiny mark brain apparently."

[8.0] "Another really fun Raw as the best show in WWE right now. Really cool promos throughout the show and a bunch of fun matches with Zayn/Kross kind of killing the momentum."

[7.0] "This RAW was defined by big personalities cooking on the microphone. CM Punk. GUNTHER. Becky Lynch. Roman Reigns. Bron Breakker. Ludwig Kaiser spitting a promo in Spanish for the people. Wrestling was okay, all setting up stuff for SummerSlam. Good for LWO. Joaquin Wilde is one wild underrated performer."

[9.0] "An episode of RAW like the others, which is to say excellent. I was a little disappointed with the Punk/Gunther segment. Punk had a very classic speech while Gunther cut a very good promo. Sheamus/Rusev was an excellent match. Not as good as their previous match but still clean. Sheamus winning like Rusev is very good. Third chapter at SummerSlam maybe. Triple threat tag team was good. The in-ring was fine. Finally giving the LWO a shot at the titles. Hopefully the dynamics of RAW's tag team division will be better. I didn't understand why Lyra and Bayley were a team based on the segments over the last few weeks ... the backstage segment completely changed my mind. Bayley being willing to do anything to BE at SummerSlam, I thought that was good. The Becky/Lyra promo was good as usual. No DQ is good. I loved the JD/Bayley, Lyra. Bayley playing nice with Lyra, Lyra not understanding anything, the cool in ring, Styles and Dom, Becky costing Lyra the match to stop Bayley going to SummerSlam and stop Lyra potentially having two belts at the end of SummerSlam, all excellent. The Dom/Styles backstage segments were entertaining. Dom's reign is very average if not bad but this little feud with Styles makes his reign a little better. I didn't like the Kross/Zayn despite my delight at seeing Karrion win. Their clash in Saudi Arabia was better. IYO/Vaquer was excellent. The in-ring is excellent, IYO is the female Shawn Michaels, always there to regale people with her talent and her consistency in terms of performance. Vaquer makes a good impression. I'm not yet receptive to her wrestling but that will come with time. The DQ is good but I would have preferred Naomi to do that. The final segment is excellent. Roman cut a great promo reminding us that Paul Heyman is a bad person. Breakker nailed it as well. The brawl is cool. Jey and Roman vs. Breakker and Reed is imminent."

[7.0] "Some decent build towards the RAW half of SummerSlam, including confirming Dominik Mysterio vs. AJ Styles and giving a stipulation to Becky Lynch vs. Lyra Valkyria. The matches were fairly average, with Sheamus vs. Rusev and IYO SKY vs. Stephanie Vaquer in the good range."

[6.0] "IYO against Vaquer was pretty solid despite the lame no Contest finish. Gunther outshined CM Punk on the mic, which was really surprising. The ending segment was allright. Besides that a average Raw episode with a boring middle part."
