[7.0] "Overall, a good episode. The matches were mostly standard. I liked the fight between Roxana Perez and IYO SKY the most, and the team main event as well. And the matches between Becky and Maxine and the commander of the luchadores were also fun. There was only one serious segment -- a dialogue between CM Punk and LA Knight about the next contender for the world championship. They had a great conversation, which was complemented by the main event, where everything ended in a fight. In addition, I note small segments, such as Bayley's emotional video or the tension between the Japanese women. In the women's division, everything develops in a fun way through the details. Well, in principle, this was a pretty good episode, although for the most part the development of the plots is not entirely satisfactory."

[4.0] "One match show. Roxanee vs Iyo was very good but thats it. I carried more for story and to be fair - Tags dom and grande was ok with bad ending, Sami push as a forever underdog was sleepy. Becky was just skippable. Not bad good - skippable and main event was a replay from last Raw so yeah... skipable show. Promos also wasn't look that good"

[2.0] "Simply a dreadful show full of bad matches that serve very little aside from moving stories along. The problem is the stories aren't compelling either. I can't recommend this any less, and as a Canadian, I'm sad that this is what they deliver on our soil. 1.5/10 Matches should still matter, it's supposed to be a wrestling show."

[6.0] "This was a quite competently dull episode with one great match that can be watched afterwards. The opening promo was very good too. The main event also intrigued me, Punk and LA Knight's dynamic interests me, and Bron is really showing his personality when Seth isn't taking too much of the spotlight."

"[3.0] What can I say? Another dull show. We start off -- yet again -- with CM Punk coming out to cut a promo. At this point, it feels like a copy-and-paste job from the last few weeks. I found myself sitting there thinking, just get to the point. And the point? A meaningless tag match that ended exactly the same way SmackDown did. Lazy booking. I thought Dom had moved on from AJ Styles, but I guess I was wrong. AJ lost. Surely there's another midcarder that Dom can work with? Why recycle the same feud? Then we have Rusev and Sheamus... Honestly, words can't describe how uninteresting this is. It's practically the same story they ran with Sheamus and Cesaro years ago feud, feud, tag team. I can already see the outcome. Asuka being teased again as a heel? I've lost track of how many times she's flipped between face and heel in the last four years. It's repetitive and, frankly, ineffective at this point. Bayley's segment was the only bright spot of the show -- and that alone bumps my score to a 3/10. And finally, can we drop this Home Depot Sami narrative? The underdog world title story is tiredsome. They did it with Jey Uso, and it flopped. Sami Zayn doesn't fit the mold of a world Champion, you had the likes of Hogan, Bret, Stone cold, The Rock to Jey usos, Cody Rhodes and Sami, NO LARGER THAN LIFE CHARECTERS ANYMORE"

[7.0] "This episode of Monday Night RAW was much better, with three solid matches and some fresh elements added to the show. I think having IYO SKY, one of the show's main faces, is great since she's involved in than a million storylines right now, which is quite exciting, and I look forward to seeing how they all unfold. Naomi, I send my prayers too because something has been going on with her, and I hope she's okay."

"1) When the last week the match between the Intercontinental Champion and Maxxine Dupri was established, there was no talk of the match being a championship match, because why would it? Obviously, the latter is in no position to even think about being in the title picture, and she would be the first to tell you about it. That's what I didn't like about AEW in the past - these pointless championship matches with challengers who have zero chance at scoring the win. I remember the times when just being a challenger was considered to be a big deal, but random title opportunities like these water down the significance of such status. Not so long ago, Lyra and Bailey had to go through a grueling match to earn a shot at the title. To make things even worse, can you imagine how Lyra feels seeing someone like Maxxine challenging Becky for the title, while she is forced to sit on her hands as long as The Man is the champion. 2) So, Adam Pearce literally threw every babyface in his sight into that multimen World Heavyweight Championship match, and Sami Zayn still managed to get left behind lol."

[8.0] "I thought this was a very good episode of Raw, especially compared to what we've been getting lately and what's probably to come with Brock Lesnar. 3 great matches on the card and 2 decent to good matches as well. Storylines advanced in a satisfying way and that's all I ask for from WWE. Common sense booking."

"[5.0] I mean, WWE Monday Night RAW has been kinda "eh" for the most part. I mean, every week having The Vision come out on top to close the show is reminding me a lot of the Bloodline faction, one of the only critiques about it. I mean, WWE Monday Night RAW wasn't bad, but it was just pretty "mid"."

"[4.0] every raw recently has been very repetitive and predictable. i think it's time they switched things up and let the women take charge because that's where a lot of the interesting stories and matches are right now. the women's roster is the most stacked it has been yet the women still get very little time for anything while the men's stories take up more than half of the show and more often than not, they're very mundane. the iyo sky, asuka, and kairi sane story right now is great, bayley taking on a new character and turning heel is interesting, naomi (i hope she's ok) is doing the best work of her career as champion, becky is doing great work by elevating the midcard title, and of course rhea ripley is a huge star, not only for the women, but in general. these things need to be capitalized on and i sincerely hope they start letting the women have more time until they can come up with better material for the men, because truthfully i don't have any interest to see a 30 minute opening of nothingness and a main event match ending in DQ with a beat down at the end anymore."

[4.0] "This is starting to get a little out of hand, no? The magic of these shows are starting to decline, every week is starting to feel the same. I believe this is the 4th week in a row where I've sat through either good, decent, or sub par show to get to the main event to see a DQ. Not to mention there was already one earlier in the night with Sami and Rusev. On the bright side, I thought Roxanne vs Iyo was a good match and some of the segments through out the show were fine as well, like Bayley's promo."

[5.0] "Well, this was kinda boring. Nothing wildly offensive or remotely entertaining either. A solid two hours of bland and ten minutes of Iyo Sky. That's a completely fair description of this show."

"[2.0] Another one of the worst Raw episodes ever, nothing of importance happen and there's 0 stories to build anything. WWE is seriously dying day by day, week by week and month by month, can't take it anymore. SmackDown isn't much better if not worse though."

"Nothing of note here sadly, another 'this could've been an email' show. Only things of note are Sami definitely feuding with Solo, the potential Asuka heel turn and the CaP 4-way WHC match announcement. At least the matches weren't the worst thing ever. Prolly a 5/10 at least. Kinda wonder how much of a dent the Iyo v Naomi match cancellation made to the booking tonight."

[9.0] "An excellent episode of RAW. The promo between Knight and Punk was very cool. Knight complaining about losing his chance because of Punk, who responded by saying that without his intervention, Knight's career would be over, was very good. You could already feel the tension between the two despite their respect for each other. Punk speaking on behalf of LA Knight to accept the tag team match was very good. The first match was very good. All four wrestlers shone in this match. EAG pinning Styles was surprising; maybe Dom will team up with the EAG wrestlers. The Rusev/Zayn match was okay. The in-ring action is decent, but I didn't like the ending. Solo/Zayn isn't a good thing; Zayn is too high up to challenge for minor titles. Despite the cancellation of Naomi/IYO, we got a huge Perez/IYO. The start of the match was very good with some great technique, but the second half was crazy. Perez is a pleasure to watch, IYO is always on top. I loved the ending with Asuka and Sane indirectly costing IYO the match. Giving the victory to Perez is very cool. Asuka's shoving of IYO is worth noting, and we shouldn't overlook an Asuka/IYO match, even if a Rhea/IYO vs. Asuka/Kairi match is also likely. Lynch/Dupri pleasantly surprised me. Lynch delighted me with her twisted acting, humiliating Maxxine by telling her she doesn't belong in the ring. Dupri showed some good stuff. Despite its length, I had a great time. Now for Bayley's video. It gave me chills. Bayley's facial expressions, the music, the image quality, everything was perfect. Bayley's disgust at seeing that her goal of being a role model has led her to be alone and without glory is excellent. Can't wait to see Bayley's next appearance. Lyra's interview right after is cool. Lyra is logical in saying that what Bayley is going through is Bayley's own fault, and Lyra is also logical in not changing her opinion that it's because of Bayley that she can no longer challenge Becky for the title. The ME was cool, but I'm torn about the ending. Rollins getting revenge for Punk's attack last week is fine, but I don't think it makes sense to cause the DQ because Rollins said earlier in the evening that it was Reed and Breakker's night. The post-match was very cool and different from what we've seen in recent weeks. Punk, Knight and Uso fighting and The Vision returning right after that was great. Divide and conquer. However, why is Jey in the match at CIP? Knight/Punk/Rollins in a triple threat makes much more sense. Kudos to the Quebec City crowd, which was excellent."

[7.0] "Creatively, there were a lot of head scratching moments in this episode. However, I feel like this was my favorite episode of Raw in a minute largely because the in ring delivered across the board. Nothing was outstanding, but everything was good to great."

[5.0] "Solid transitional/build-up episode of RAW. Not that much to say about it, episodes like that are at this point totally fine. Interesting story development with Iyo Sky."

[5.0] "An overall average episode of Monday Night Raw. IYO versus Roxanne was clearly the best match from Raw. The Bayley promo was good as well. Two DQ match finishes is lazy booking and there was some other head scratching stuff which was far from good."

[7.0] "Pretty good episode. Too many DQ finishes for my liking but I understand the booking behind it (doesnt mean I have to like it though)"

[6.0] "The August 11th, 2025 edition of Monday Night RAW was another okay episode. A simply average episode. Nothing too good, nothing too bad. It was just...there. Remember when RAW was consistently good-great from March to mid-May of 2025. Those were the days. Highlights for me was Roxxane vs. IYO, The opening segment and the Bayley promo. Other than that...It was mostly basic and nothing more. Overall, WWE needs to step things up because these shows are getting more and more drab. [***]"
