[4.0] "You know, maybe this match is one of the best WWE matches of the year, but it's also a bit of a hype. The thing is, the match is just fast-paced for no reason. Judgment Day is really trash. Roxanne Perez is officially acting like a punk. I never thought I'd see a match like this with these names."

[5.0] "I didn't hate this but I also didn't think it was actually a very interesting TV match at all. The team of old man AJ and Dragon Lee is solid, albeit odd. Balor and JD really do nothing for me, Balor is competent but dull and I can't see JD as anything other than a charisma vacuum."

[8.0] "This was a very good match. AJ Styles and Dragon Lee are one of those thrown together teams but like multiple partners before him, he shares pretty good chemistry with Lee. Finn Balor and JD McDonagh were the defending champions, representing the Judgment Day and considering the talent involved, you knew this was going to be fun. This was a well done tag team match with some great near falls and even a creative save. AJ managed to hit the Phenomenal Forearm on Balor, but JD broke it up at the last possible moment. Later, JD and Balor managed to hit him with a moonsault and a Coup De Grace, but Lee broke it up. Not only did he do that, as JD was trying to block him, Lee jumped over JD and hit Balor with a headbutt to break up the fall. I'll admit I've never seen that before. The finish had Balor try to use the Styles Clash on AJ, but it was reversed and AJ ended up using the Styles Clash to win the titles. With the story of AJ retiring in 2026, this was a big moment for him and Dragon Lee. ***3/4"

[6.0] "Bizarre commentary exchange early on trying to give a justification for a heel team never defending belts which pretty much sums up the level, or lack thereof, of care and consideration given to tag teams but some things never change. Despite that they had a fun match with everybody getting their spots in. There were some good near falls and I particularly enjoyed the Dragon Lee leaping pin fall breakup which had the crowd erupting. The little closing sequence between Balor and Styles around the Styles Clash was tidily done and a nice way to cap this off. I think the odd couple tag team unexpectedly winning the titles is an overdone trope in wrestling but Styles' is stock is high after the Cena match and Lee has been underutilized so let's hope we see more championship matches in the coming months then we have done so far this year because these two could have some fun encounters."

"AJ Styles really has done more for Dragon Lee in two months than Rey Mysterio could do in 3 years. Excited to see how the title run of AJ Lee unfolds."

[8.0] "that was an AMAZING championship TV match, the result was totally unexpected but it was definitely needed, the two teams had great chemistry all throughout the match, AJ showing people that he still got it, Dragon Lee showing exactly why he belongs, and the irish duo showing why they should be booked for more matches, i hope AJ/Lee's run delivers and hopefully it's gonna be Dragon Lee's first step to a great WWE career. ****1/2"

[8.0] "A fun opener to kick off Raw. Honestly, it was great seeing a Dragon Lee push AND have the Judgement Day defend their titles. (They only defended them once before this BTW.)"

[8.0] "A really hot opener. Balor and JD are a really, really good tag team who rightly or wrongly don't get enough chances to show it (they are heels, after all) and AJ and Dragon Lee are too experienced and too talented to not be able to keep up there half of the equation. A welcome title change and we'll see where it leads for both AJ and Dragon."

[8.0] "This was a great tag team match. Balor and JD McDonagh barely defend their titles, but they have ridiculously good chemistry together. AJ and Dragon Lee are also just a incredible tag team. The sequence with Jd McDonagh Moonsault and Finn Balor Coup de Grace to a Dragon Lee save was great, the ending with Aj and Finn countering each other until the Styles Clash was also really good. In the end lets hope the Raw tag team division gets better because the problem with this division is the lack of it entirely, no matches, no segments, just nothing, they look like props not titles."

[7.0] "Best match on this episode for sure. It was good tag match, but final few minutes was wild and fire. Glad that in team division of Raw something changes. AJ Styles and Dragon Lee are very crazy for a tag team, but it can be fun."

[8.0] "Great match, very fast paced and to be honest with 4 amazing in ring talents this is to be expected. Very happy for AJ and Dragon Lee, they both deserve it. Loved JD's spanish fly and the styles clash sequence towards the end was smooth. Hopefully this is the start of the RAW tag division reviving."

[9.0] "This was a great match. Everyone looked great. There was a good sequence between Balor and AJ Styles at the end. And Finlay -- they had the courage to change titles on a weekly show. Dragon Lee is starting to shine and get what he deserves. I really want him and Styles to face the Lucha Brothers. ****1/2"

[7.0] "Pretty fun TV match and opener. I'm not totally sold on AJ Styles and Dragon Lee as a team but each individual here was rock solid tonight. Special shout out to JDcDonagh who really showed out here. He sells incredibly well for everybody, he's incredibly explosive and deceptively versatile, a man of his size making a powerbomb look that devastating should be noted. Also big fan his limb work in the corner with Dragon Lee, it was a very creative transition. Finn Balor and Styles mixing it up was very clean and I'd love to see a one on one later on before AJ retires. Dragon Lee is one of the more consistent members of the Raw Roster at the moment and even though he wasn't as picturesque as usual, he's still a fun watch. This should be the bar that Raw is operating at regularly"

[9.0] "This was such a great tag team match. AJ Styles and Dragon Lee's pairing has been awesome. They had a total of three matches tagging together, and now they're the new WWE World Tag Team Champions, which is awesome, as this is AJ Styles' 2nd time winning a Tag Title, and Dragon Lee's first-ever Main Roster Title. But the match itself was great by all means. Finn Balor and JD McDonagh were wrestling their asses off, and AJ Styles and Dragon Lee's team chemistry was off the charts. I was worried that the Los Americanos were going to help The Judgement Day retain, but nope, as AJ Styles got the win, and now they are the new WWE World Tag Team Champions with Dragon Lee. I hope this is what RAW needed to reshape and redirect the lifeless Tag Division. I hope this also signals that Dragon Lee isn't with the LWO and he's his own man, and with AJ Styles, with no affiliation with the LWO. But awesome opener of a match. Finn Balor and KJD McDoangh will get there pending rematch and I hope it takes place; ace at WWE Saturday Night Main Event."

[7.0] "AJ Styles and Dragon Lee displayed quite interesting chemistry, combining their experience. The pace was high from the start, with spectacular aerial sequences and incredible technical precision. The result was perfect, and I didn't think there would be any new champions, which is refreshing for the RAW tag team division. 7/10."
Some Guy wrote on 21.10.2025:
[8.0] "Very good match for the tag team titles. It had been a whopping three months since the last time Judgment Day defended, that's ridiculous. AJ Styles and Dragon Lee is a random pairing, but they have good chemistry and work well together. First half of the match was solid stuff with the heels in control, preventing Lee from tagging Styles in. This picked up a lot in the second half, with really good back and forth action. Some well done near falls had the crowd going crazy, especially when Lee managed to break up a pin at the last moment. This final exchange between Balor and Styles was great with them trying to counter each other with Styles finally hitting a Styles Clash for the win. Lee and Styles as the new champions is interesting, hopefully they'll defend more often and get the tag team division on Raw going. 8/10"

[7.0] "Aj/ Lee vs Judgement Day: 7.5/10. Match was a good. First half was slow and ponderous before the mid match ad break and the ad was full of restholds, yawn. But once they came back the match got going. Well paced, well worked, and the right winner. Hopefully they get used a lot more now as a result."

[9.0] "Perfect tag-team match, packed with action from the beginning to the end - the four of them are incredible wrestlers and so talented that its impossible that they can have a bad match. But the maneuver and moves in this match were great, including Dragon Lee's headbutt save and suicide dive. Balor went for the Styles Clash and got finished by it."

[9.0] "That tag match was pure quality from start to finish. Both teams brought intensity and chemistry that made every exchange feel important. The pacing was spot on, mixing fast sequences with smart, methodical control. Every nearfall had the crowd hooked, and the energy never dropped. It felt competitive, well balanced, and full of emotion, the kind of match that reminds you why tag team wrestling hits different when done right."

[9.0] "A pretty solid match that evoked nothing but positive emotions and memories. Dragon Lee and JD McDonagh have amazing chemistry, something I've loved since their NXT days. I wish Styles and Lee a long reign. This is a breath of fresh air in the RAW tag team division. I hope they don't lose the titles in the rematch."

[8.0] "I had so much fun with watching this match. They killed it. So many good belevable near falls built up to the point when the actual pin happened I didn't expect it to be the finish but I'm happy it was because they built to it perfectly and was the right time to go home. This gives the judgment day story alot more fuel now because Dom opened his mouth caused balor and JD to loose there tag titles while he retained his title. I hope they finally do the split this time because it feels like we've been waiting for years now. Aj and dragon as tag champs is exciting there's hope now that we can finally get a interesting and entertaining tag title run and they actually mesh so well together happy that dragon is now a weekly character on raw.
