[8.0] "After what I thought was seriously the worst produced WWE Premium live event since Elimination chamber 2022, this was a REALLY good bounce back and to be honest, all the matches here were better than survivor series. Jey vs Knight was surprisingly decent and thank God Knight won. Gunther vs Solo was a surprise BANGER. The main event was super fun even though I've gotten over the "judgement day stands tall" thing, we need to get over that FAST. Bron Breakker cut the best promo of his career, the tag match was short, but a great finish. Overall a really good and consistent show."

[7.0] "This was not much better than WarGames. Knight/Uso was only somewhat good because LA won. AJ/Lee vs New Day was classic AJ at its finest and the others did their thing too. Gunther/Sikoa was whatever until after the 2nd commercial break when it got good (like most matches these days). AOC/RhIYO was set to be an all-timer in terms of women's tag matches until the Kabukis ruined it. Shoutout to the women's tag division of all things for becoming the best thing on Raw (and sometimes SD too) for the last month-plus. Judgment Day's overarching story was good with them starting to go after their lost gold at the command of Liv. Maxxine/Nattie training vid was very cool. Also cool to hear that it'll be Punk vs Bron on Jan 5, but literally everything else Vision-related was awful. Give us the mystery man's identity because we all know who it is at this point. So much for an "epic" follow-up. 7/10."

"Pretty decent RAW this week. The lack of Punk was notable, but equally understandable with the passing of his dog, Larry. Jey losing to LA Knight was preferable to me, so I am happy with that result. Hopefully creative does something interesting with Jey at this point. I can only handle so much yeeting and ugh ughs."

[6.0] "Only thing better than the female tag team division is Gunther. They are great! This episode was fine, no bad matches, a very good promo from Bron Breakker and some teases about what's coming next week. We got the finals ready for SmackDown, Gunther vs LA Knight can slap. Solo was excellent in his match against the ring general, but got defeated with a low blow. AJ Styles & Dragon Lee are on the same page and are trying their best to make something out of the male tag division that was dead for so long cause of the judgement day having the belts. La Knight was smart and got the win over Jey with a crucifix, Jey then snap and left the building upset. Bron Breakker will be Punks opponent on the first RAW of the year for the World Heavyweight Championship, let's go. To which Bron said he will win and kill Punk, as easy as he did in WarGames. Flair and Bliss were having a fantastic match against Rhyo so it could only end in a No Contest, lame. All the tag teams came out to brawl in the end with Judgement Day standing tall amongst all. Fun matches, decent promos, kinda storyline progression but not quite. An OK RAW."

[8.0] "That was really great episode. Matches were on a good level, that raised up for every next fight. Also we have an amazing Bron Breakker's promo that confirmed his power and I want that he will win world heavyweight championship on January 5th. I liked a cinematic Maxxine Dupri's promo and Judgement Day in full squad. Liv Morgan really shaked up a few things, especially on main event, where we can saw how great women's tag division is. For the first Raw after PLE it was very good, except fot 1 thing, what is absentness of mystery masked man, that needs to showing up on this show. But there is only one big issue of this episode, everething else is good for modern WWE."

"i like this show , but about gunter , gunter didnt need be here like some of wrestlers in this tournoment , men's tag team match have great ending and women's tag team match show us big story about women's roster"

[8.0] "It was a very good episode of RAW. Styles Clash at the ending of Tag Title match was really good. New Day is so stale because of their poor booking and maybe they should separate but anyway. Gunther vs Sikoa and main event were solid. I didn't like ME ending by interference at first but it was a good way to hype Judgment Day and overall, all story build-ups were fine."

[6.0] "A good raw, but deducitng a point because I'm really getting frustrated at the lack of actual wrestling on TV shows at this point. Some intruging matches were set up (Maxxine vs. Ivy is interesting) and Nattie being teased is great. Just a bit too close to the formula that WWE relies on to put on a good raw, however."

[8.0] "This was solid, way better than last week's episode. I find it funny how Triple H stated it would be chaotic, and it wasn't, but at least this show was miles better than anything on the Survivor Series show. But Solo Sikoa tapped into his Kenta Kobashi bag and delivered a great match, and the women closed out the show in a red-hot angle, and the Women's Tag Division is heating up. But the very fun show and the next week's show so far look very solid."

[3.0] "Ok this raw wasn't the worst but it's still bad..the bar is so low like they just need to give us something decent but triple fraud can't give us that he sucks and he goes out there and says "This Raw is going to be EPIC" this is far from that this was trash. Rhea and iyo open the match and said absolutely nothing what a waste.Then Jey fought LA Knight in a decent match but nobody cares since who ever won didn't matter since they will just end up losing to Gunther.. After dom had a promo and it was really trash idk what they see in dom he's a jobber and for some reason after saying something he stays there waiting for them to boo him it's so force and the crowd didn't then he moves on like what is he doing it's so corny and awkward and he says the same thing for years "I'm the best luchador, I'm the best intercontinental champion, I'm the best Mysterio"it's the same garbage. After Liv comes out and says absolutely nothing, the judgment day are jobbers and nobody cares about them and she's boring which she wasn't before but now she is. Then Maxxine had a video nobody cares about and maxxine needs at least 2-3 weeks to have her next match since she can't wrestle and has to practice for her match..that's your ic women's title.. Then the new day came out nearly 50 years old to lose to nearly 50 year old AJ but the ending to that match was actually amazing. Then the vison came out with bron breaker and finally cuts a decent promo at best..he's not a main eventer. Then Gunther and solo Sikoa in a pretty good match and it was decent. Solo did pulled some new moves and it was great. Then we had the main event and they were having a decent match until the kabuki warriors came out and it ends in a dq and ofc it ends in a brawl cause why not like they never brawl for a dead title nobody cares about... this raw was horrible."

[8.0] "Very good episode of Raw, it started off with a boring opener, but picked up a lot after that. The two tag team matches were good, but the MOTN was Solo Vs. Gunther, who new Solo could have a great match."

[8.0] "Not sure why people took the epic comments from hhh in regards to raw last night so literal. Do y'all not understand how promoting stuff works? Even then, this was quite an eventful episode. From the matches, to the further stories being continued and enhanced between RhIyo Charlexa the Kabuki Warriors and Bayley and Lyra. Not to mention the judgment day with Liv being back now, she's back in the mox again with where she left off before she got hurt showing how important she is to the division. The teased her facing Stephanie and the angle to close the show was sick. The matches we got were quite good too, with Gunther and Solo being the highlight. Terrific tv all together"

[7.0] "For the first time in what feels like a long time, I enjoyed this episode immensely. The matches were largely solid, the promos were decent, the backstage was good. No real complaints at all. Even the Cena tournament may be saved by the Ring General. 7/10 Rhea and Iyo in ring gear... starting with a match? Nah. Promo. Of course it is. Flair and Bliss come out and they make a match for later in the evening. Back to this again, oh dear. This was woodenly delivered by all involved and in their defence, they weren't given ANYTHING to work with here. I'm just glad that it was short. Backstage, ivy Nile gets a match, weak start. Pierce then talks to Heyman and Bron who appeared 'from nowhere' three feet off of camera. Yeet Man makes his entrance. Jey Uso vs LA Knight: two minutes, ad break. They came back and this decent actually. Nothing mind blowing but solid. The finish was confusing though. Knight took both of Jey's finishing moves and then just rolled him up for a win. This wasn't even a shock, it was just kinda dumb. 6/10 match, 5/10 finish. Jey then throws a ringside tantrum. Bayley, Lyra, kabuki backstage. Judgement day enter, ad break. Juday promo, live Morgan enters and reminds me why I didn't much I enjoy her work. Nattie and Maxine video package, you know what. I'm willing to give this a chance. Adam Pierce had a 'secret' and hushed conversation on camera live for all the world to see. Dragon Lee and AJ enters, ad break. Jobber entrance for the new day. New Day vs AJ Lee: 2 minutes, ad break. Back from the break and it was a decent back and forth. Probably the best performance from the New Day that I've seen in a long time. The buck coded finish was outstanding. Good match. 7/10 Liv Vaquer backstage. The Vision in ring promo. Bron Breakker was f**king outstanding here. Genuinely excellent. Jey backstage with Jackie looking all depressed. Bless. Gunther vs Solo Sikoa: I had heard great things about this and they may have been a little over the top for me. But this the best match that solo has had in a long time now. Decent pacing, decent ring work, slightly janky finish, but I enjoyed this very much. 7/10 La Knight comes out after the bell for a face off. Should be a great match. Becky lynch mania teaser. Styles and Lee set up a War Raiders match. This could be Raw's banger belt and I'm into it. Rey against the Judgement day... again. At least Logan Paul to make it worse. Flair and Bliss enter, Iyo and Rhea enter. Main event time: 30 seconds, ad break. Solid back and forth before once again, ad break. Back from the ad and right up until the Kabuki Warriors interrupted this was a really good match. Unfortunately the was no finish due to every man and their dog interrupting. I enjoyed this match despite the over booked finish. Probably the best performance from Flair in a long time. 7/10 Lyra and Bayley come out, the Judgement Day come out and are the final team standing. This was well done and it didn't overstay its welcome."

[8.0] "Great in-ring product this episode, angles are broadly still as dry as usual, but there were a few here that genuinely sparked my imagination and made me want to check out next week."

[9.0] "After a very mediocre War Games, I had high expectations for this RAW and I was not disappointed at all. The segment isn't exceptional, but it's decent. I think it's good that Rhiyo is entering the tag title race. The Heyman/Pearce backstage segment is what I wanted. It makes sense that Heyman wants to talk to Pearce about adding Brekker to the WHC title race. The Knight/Uso match was very decent, much better than their previous clash. Jey's spears are still as bad as ever. The exchanges were decent. I didn't like the finish, but the result is very good. Dom and Liv's promo is cool. It's good that Liv mentions the JD's weakness during her absence and that she wants the JD to be powerful again. I know we're tired of the JD, but if we're gradually bringing about the end of the clan, I say yes. The AJLEE/NEW DAY match is very good. Very good wrestling with some nice spots and a hell of a finish. Short but effective. Breakker's promo is just exceptional. Breakker saying it was too easy to beat Punk is cool. His criticism of veterans resting on their past glory is very good. Breakker criticising Punk for almost ruining his career is very good. Breakker's best promo in his main roster career. It's a shame the match is in a month's time; I think we could have put it on SNME. Morgan back in the world title race is a yes. Vaquer/Morgan could be interesting. Gunther/Sikoa is excellent. Sikoa was excellent, he put Gunther in difficulty, which was not the case in the previous two Ring General matches. A great duel. Clearly the best match of Sikoa's career. We're in for a very interesting Gunther/Knight match. I would have liked to see a mic battle between the two. The ME is very good too. It could have been better, but let's not forget that the four of them did a War Games match 48 hours ago. Rhea and Flair had a nice exchange. I found the final segment interesting. Finally, we see Bayley and Lyra again. I can't wait to see what happens next in the women's tag team division. This RAW made me forget about War Games."

[7.0] "[7.0] The December 1st, 2025 edition of Monday Night RAW certainly wasn't an "epic" as explained by Triple H but it was certainly a good show. The 1st half of the show should be considered fairly average by RAW standards but that second half picked up with the Tag Team Title match, Breakker cutting an excellent promo, Gunther vs. Solo and the Main Event. Jey Uso crashing out wasn't something I was expecting but character development for me is welcome! A video package aired of Maxxine Dupri training with Nattie Neidhart as they build up her stock as IC Champion. The ending for the Tag Title match was wonderful with the Double Stomp thrown into a Styles Clash. Solo had the match of his career with GUNTHER here and showed his brawler moveset to the full extent. Ending of the show was very chaotic but welcome. Only downsides I have with this show was some nothing backstage segments and promos in-ring. They really don't need a backstage segment for announcing anything. Overall, a good RAW and hopefully WWE can use this as a launching point into creating better quality shows."

[10.0] "Very good episode of Raw. After the disappointing War Games PLE, I expected Raw to deliver, and it did! I'm really glad LA Knight won - Yeetman needs a new direction, you can see the crowd hype around him is starting to fade. It was a relatively good match. The Tag Team Title match was fun! I'm happy that they're finally starting to take the Tag titles more seriously. Styles and Dragon Lee are a solid and surprisingly interesting team. The main event was very good until the interruptions started - in my opinion, the match could've ended without them. Match of the night, however, was without a doubt Gunther vs. Solo."

[9.0] "Fantastic episode of RAW. Only downside was no Punk which was weird considering I was fully expecting his head to be hot over who attacked him in WarGames. Jey vs LA was surprisingly good and the right person went over. Just hope that Jey actually gets some character development now cause they keep hinting at it but never pull the trigger and have him go back to Yeeting like nothing happened. AJ and Dragon vs New Day was a very fun match and I am looking forward to their match with War Raiders next week. Think this will be a Sami Zayn US title esque reign where AJ and Dragon have a great, but short reign as they speed run the whole tag division before dropping the belts to the Vision. Speaking of The vision, as poor as the WarGames match was, they REALLY needed that win and it was the right decision to have them go over. Bron's promo was excellent and firmly established him as the leader of the group and also helped regain his momentum after they seemingly halted it immediately after turning on Seth (though I wonder if he's actually fighting Punk at Mania now if they're doing the match already on Raw Jan 5). I thought Logan's alliance with the vision would just be one and done for WarGames but seems like he's sticking around which I actually don't mind since Logan's solo act grew crazy stale after losing the US title to LA Knight and his goofier personality was a good contrast to Bron and Bronson heading into WarGames so hope that continues. I also like him and Rey's insertion into the IC title picture to go after Dom. Speaking of Dom, I like how they acknowledged how Judgement Day were kinda falling off these last few months kayfabe wise and are now back on course to have a presence in every division bar Punk's WHC. Raquel was a good first challenger to Stephanie Vaquer but Nikki as the next one, at a big 4 PLE no less, was a huge mis-step and I am glad they are seemingly back on track to make Stephanie a big deal again by setting up Morgan as the next one up. My match of the night though was Solo vs Gunther. Gunther in general has been the best part of this Last time is now tourney as outside of his matches, the tourney has been really underwhelming bar the surprise returns of Zack and Dolph. I acknowledge that injuries have been an unfortunate factor of this tourney so far with Sheamus and Penta both pulling out but there's still more than enough talent to make up for their absence. They failed to replace Sheamus properly, opting to give Miz a 2nd shot instead (Lol), but at least Solo replacing Penta delivered (even if that was forced on them whilst Miz was a choice they made). I am sure Gunther and Penta would've had a great match as Gunther can have a good match with anyone and Penta is a better wrestler than Solo. With that said, I think what we got here with Gunther and Solo was better than the match we would've gotten with Gunther-Penta. Gunther and Solo both usually dominate their matches (Gunther through sheer excellence whilst Solo through boring rest holds and overused cheating tactics) but neither could do that today as they're both heels so what we go instead was a brilliant 50/50 match that really showcased Solo's potential in the ring if he's allowed to show out more, rather than wrestling a boring heel style. We still got some cheating shenanigans here ofc but what made it work here was Gunther's subversion of expectations and essentially fighting fire with fire with the finish of 2 low blows to Talla and Solo. I think Solo is long overdue a face turn as that would suit both his character and his in ring style more and today showed a glimpse of that. Even though I mentioned my displeasure of no Punk on the show, I like that they still acknowledged the masked man throughout the show and even brought up the elephant in the room of Seth (even though it's not him which they also acknowledge). Lastly, I wanna bring up how brilliantly the women's tag division has been booked for well over a year now. Ever since Naomi took over from Jade as Bianca's partner, the belts have been getting banger after banger after banger, no matter who the champions are. Not only that, but they are often the focus of weekly TV, main eventing RAWs and now having practically every big name under the sun fighting for those belts. Rhea and Iyo had a great match with Charlotte and Alexa, before being interuptted by the warriors, before getting saved by Lyra/Bayley, before getting jumped themselves by Judgement Day. What a crazy flex of the amount of talent you have fighting for one pair of belts. Only slight nitpick is that Lash/Nia didn't get involved here and it makes me worried they'll have Nia/Lash back on Smackdown working Jade for the 1000th time, instead of being a tag team which prolly suits both performers best for now. Says a lot about how good this episode was that I only have small nitpicks here and there to critisize it."

[9.0] "A surprisingly great RAW. It started with the confrontation between the Rhea, Iyo, Charlotte and Alexa - which went exactly as expected. Nothing of note about that. Jey Uso vs. LA Knight was a somewhat good match with occasional small botches, something that's of course expected when you have Jey "Coke" Uso in the mixture who also coincidently had the longest druggie dance entrance I've probably seen in my life. It went on for like 3 hours. Anyway, I was so so surprised and happy that LA Knight won, didn't expect that at all, especially when that disastrous botched running hug and Samoan Splash connected. Even the winning pin was kind of botched but still happy to see the druggie isn't going to the finals. Wonder what they're trying to do with him crashing out and suddenly talking ill about himself, maybe a upcoming heel turn against his brother? The tag-team match, though filler, was also packed with action. Great job by the New Day all of a sudden, those sequences were crisp. The double stop into the Styles Clash was fantastic. Dominik's promo with Liv and the Judgement Day was aight, nothing special - Liv's presence has made this show feel much better overall. The GUNTHER vs. Solo Sikoa match absolutely surprised me, that was an incredible match between the two heavyweights, lots of great moments and Solo looked like an absolute beast. Bron Breakker's promo was surprisingly great as well, he looked like an absolute star, and man that he is. Rey's backstage segment with Logan was hilarious, Logan is such a heat magnet man... this stable is really looking much stronger and more credible after his arrival. The main even tag team match had great moments and the ending brawl led the show to a fantastic finish. A great RAW episode after a long time, no complaints really."

"[8/10] This RAW was miles better than Wargames. Another LA Knight win, what is going on. Jey is way more interesting when he's battling his demons. AJ/Lee is a great tag team. That rope to styles clash spot looked great. Solo vs. Gunther = absolute banger. this was easily Solo's best match all year. It might be the Gunther affect, but Solo should be putting on more bangers like this. I was meh on it at first, but Gunther vs. Cena should be an amazing match; Gunther is masterful. The Maxxine/Natalia training video was good; we need more packages like that. Bron Breakker cuts a decent promo! Logan Paul officially part of the vision is interesting. Should put on a decent match with Rey. Rhiyo have so much chemistry. Charlexa vs. Rhiyo was great.. until the end. Let there be a winner! Glad to see Liv Morgan back, but surprised they haven't had a hint of drama between Liv and Roxanne. There's a lot of story there."

[8.0] "Rare wwe watch for me. Thought this was pretty good. Gunther match over delivered (credit to solo too). Great promo from Bron as well and the tag match was pretty decent too with a finish that's impressive (unless you watch other stuff then you've seen it more than once). There were a few things here I wasn't into like judgment day (I don't buy into the Dom hype at all) but this was mostly good. The main event was going well too but I expected the interference. I will say this though, I think it's interesting that they suddenly started paying attention to their women's tag division (and titles in particular) while inaugural women's tag champs are about to be crowned elsewhere."
