[4.0] "PG era in full swing. The matches here were nothing special. Bourne vs. Swagger was a very fun two minute sprint which accomplished a lot for both competitors tbh. The crowd may not have been exactly behind them, but the work was splendid. Everything else ranged from alright to straight up non-wrestling, which Ill get to later. McIntyre vs. Kingston was simple but solid. McIntyre worked the knee, Kofi sold it, pulled the upset, it was fine. I SEEEE BROKEN DREAMS- The main event was quite bad. Cena looked like an absolute chump selling R-Truths terrible punches like they were lightning strikes, relyling on a Mysterio hot tag (which is always fun) and straight-up cheating from referee Bret Hart. Yes, Punk was being...a punk to Bret, hiding behind him, mocking him, calling him out for slow counts, which was completely valid, but arent babyfaces supposed to overcome the odds, not unfairly shift them back to their favor? Whatever, its just babies watching this show right now, but Cena did a hilarious freezeframe jump to celebrate. Oh, and Otunga and McGillicutty won the tag belts for some reason. Nexus Punk helped them win by kneeing Big Show in the back of the head. But thats not the worst thing that happened to poor old Show, the guy got hit by a car, kind of. Show and Kane were messing with Alberto and Ricardo before their match, which led to Ricardo running over Shows leg kind of accidentally? I dont know, it was extremely fucking stupid and an enormously long segment. Couldve easily cut after a minute, but they held for three. And it was just Big Show screaming like owwww my leggg ahhhh and Kane, the demon from hell, screaming GOD SOMEBODY HELP USSS it was weird. Then, Kharma came out to disrupt the 8-diva tag team match to have an emotional breakdown in the middle of the ring for some reason. It was extremely bizarre. I debated rating the tag a DUD because it would be, but it wasnt even really a match so Ill just not rate it I guess. Michael Cole came out and apologized to Lawler, rejoining commentary and ending his god-awful heel run of terror that I thankfully do not have to be subjected to. And in the biggest moment of the show, Alex Riley turns on The Miz after being fired for constantly costing Miz the world title and being the worst hechman in the world. Riley beat his ass and tore up his suit, it was really homoerotic. They shouldve kissed. Overall, couldve been worse! **1/8"

[6.0] "This was a solid show that was most known for Alex Riley's face turn, which showed how great Miz was as a heel as Riley lost all momentum after this feud, and also the bizarre segment with Kharma going out to the ring only to cry. The main event was also a really good match. Best Raw in a while, which showed how dull and boring the last several shows were."
