[7.0] "Overall, it was pretty good episode. Matches on a good level and much better than last week. GUNTHER's promo was same as week ago, but face-to-face with CM Punk, Rey Mysterio and AJ Styles made it more intresting. Segment between Maxxine and Becky was fine, Dupri still not so confident, but everething else on this show worked for her raising so good. And main star of this Raw is Austin Theory, that feels much stronger and confident. I hope that his peak starts on this show."
[6.0] "Vanilla RAW... matches were good but that's all really, nothing interesting backstage. If that's all wrestling is supposed to be, then the Attitude Era would have never existed. This stuff is so soul-less."
[6.0] "Good to have you back in the ring Austin, ALL DAY! RAW was okay, but for a Raw Christmas Themed show, this lack emotion and celebration. The matches were very good, Asuka vs Rhea having the best match of the night, Je'Von could have stole the show if he was giving more time, just call him up already and have him be at NXT, RAW and SmackDown dude wants to work and has all the gas in the tank. Bayley vs Roxanne felt different eventho we've seen this match a lot of times before, it was nice that Bayley got the victory after something inside her head snapping, Lyra and Liv were good side characters here too. The Vision got Austin Theory and they had a fine interesting match vs Cm Punk and Rey, some notes: Austin needs to get a finisher, not do the stomp. Show was okay, alright, nothing exciting. I could say maybe Gunther but how long before we get tired of the same John Cena is my bitch promo. Felices fiestas cagematchers."
[6.0] "Solid episode of raw, but not enough wrestling. Given it's a tape this is expected. Good wrestling was showcased when it was allowed to be, with a lot of storylines developing nicely going into the new year where I hope WWE picks up the ball from a drab 2025."
[7.0] "For a taped show this was fun none of the matches were bad all decent to pretty good and is the first time in a while where the Vision main event wasn't offensive"
[5.0] "Yes, but wrestling isn't just about promos. The extra-ring stuff was definitely good, but in the ring we had almost two squash matches; in my opinion, matches under 10 minutes aren't really matches. It's not a good episode if there's nothing or very little to watch in the ring. If you count it, there's about half an hour of in-ring action and an endless amount of extra-ring time. I don't know, I don't like it. Again, the promos were very good and they're important to build wrestlers and feuds, but you can't do an episode like this. For me, it's insufficient."
"Maxxine and Becky had the best segment of this show. Maxxine cut what is comfortably the best promo of her career, which was fiery and passionate and it felt real to me. Becky is much watch television. her character is so funny, her promos are hilarious. She is my favourite character in the company at the minute by some way. Raw was fine overall , the show was pre-taped so no major story developments were ever going to happen, but for me, that segment really stood out as great."
[5.0] "I can't lie, 90% of this show was just a little mid. The main event was decent, but everything else fell a little short. I'm genuinely baffled by some of the high ratings here. One person in particular needs to have a word with themselves. 5/10"
[8.0] "I will tell you for a taped show it was really entertaining. Gunther is the best heel right now. Im loving this. Austin Theory definitely stood out last night and was impressed with him. Asuka and Rhea put on a banger of a match too. Cannot wait for next week's episode"
[6.0] "Pas un mauvais Raw qui était préenregistré je m'attendais à rien de particulier mais tout les matchs sont correctes voir bon .Le plus gros point faible c'est le segment Becky Maxxine qui relance la feud qui ne m'intéressait déjà pas alors en refaire un énième match non."
[9.0] "I wasn't expecting such a high-quality RAW. The backstage segment between Theory and Heyman is very good. Theory justifies himself by saying that he joined The Vision to relaunch his career after two difficult years. Rhea/Asuka was very good. Not as good as their previous match, but the quality was there. It was fluid, with some great spots and a surprising result. The backstage segment with Reed/Breaker/Heyman is also very good. Heyman responds very well to Breaker and Reed's doubts about Theory, saying that before Heyman recruited Breaker and Reed, one had never faced people like Roman Reigns and the other had never had a chance at the world title. Finally, Becky is back and her promo is once again good. It's not Becky's best promo this year, but she is once again logical in saying that without Carr and AJ Lee, she would still be the IC champion. For a first promo, Maxxine did well. She mentions that she has beaten Becky three times and mentions the fact that Becky complains about everything and doesn't give the impression that she is the best. Maxxine's decision to put her title on the line once again against Becky is consistent. Maxxine is no longer the same woman; she has become much more combative. The segment where Maxxine makes Becky give up (what a pop from the crowd) is excellent. Once again, there's nothing to say about Becky, who is promoting the midcard. This feud is much more polished than the feuds at the top of the card. Evan's/Dunne was nice. Both did well, and I even thought Dunne might win, but Evans showed once again how talented he is. The Breakker video is once again very cool. Give the title to Breakker. Nikki Bella, unlike Becky, remains as illogical as ever. Her promo makes no sense once again. This Raquel/Nikki/Vaquer triple threat doesn't look appealing given the story being told. Can someone explain to me why the IC title is more interesting than the WHC title? I hope Vaquer wins. Bayley/Perez is nice too. The wrestling is decent, but the ending is interesting. We see the first tensions between JD with Raquel, who is messing things up. The ending with Bayley is cool once again, but it's a shame that this story between Lyra and Bayley is dragging on. Gunther doesn't even need to say a word; his presence alone is enough to annoy the fans. His face-off with Punk was good, as was the one with Rey. The main event surprised me. I was expecting a classic match from The Vision, but no. We got some very good wrestling, with a big shout-out to Theory, who did well. It was great to give the pin to Theory, as it allows him to gain The Vision's trust. It's been a long time since I've enjoyed watching Theory so much. Breaker beats Punk again, which is good. We didn't get a lot of WM, Royal Rumble, etc. advertising, which is nice."
"Tonight, raw was an average show, rhea vs Asuka was ok, I'm happy that Asuka got the win, Javon Evans was riyo was average, it could have been good if there was El grande instead of riyo, Gunther getting the heat and being a top heel is so satisfying, and the main event was ok, punk getting speared, Austin theory Really improved himself"
