[4.0] "This show was honestly just adequate , a underwhelming main event and opener , mixed in with a bad match between Miz vs Ivar was not a good look for this show. My favorite match was Nakamura vs Otis I really liked the story behind the match , Nakamura not being able to take Otis down and having to take all those strikes to take him down. It reminded me of his really good match with Bronson Reed , and how this type of match formula really works for Nakamura. Nakamura showed great character work and the set up for the match with Gable was pretty well done. My least favorite match was Miz vs Ivar , it was a match which had some underwhelming action , but on top of that the story is not really there. The way they set this match up was bad , and the story they are trying to tell wasnt present. Miz should have proved to Gunther that he can be a great professional wrestler. Instead he kind of is proving Gunther's point, which is not good. My favorite segment was Gunther praising Giovanni Vinci backstage it was nice to see Vinci get some recognition, and Kaisers reaction was really funny. Match ratings Dominik and Jd vs Sami and Rollins 4/10, Nakamura vs Otis 8/10 , Tegan vs Piper 5/10 , Kaiser vs Ciampa 6/10 , Xia vs Indi 5/10 , Miz vs Ivar 3/10 , Judgment Day vs Jey and Cody 5/10."
[7.0] "Der Beginn der Show war mit den Stars von War Games relativ gut. Das anschließende Match hat mit dem DQ Finish nicht wirklich viel erreicht, bringt uns dann aber wenigstens die Stipulation, dass im Main Event alle der Arena fernbleiben müssen. Und dies bringt uns am Ende einen wirlich logisch durchdachten Moment, als Drew McIntyre sich Judgment Day anschließt. Nakamura gegen Otis war ganz solide. Piper Niven gegen Tegan Nox findet in absoluter Stille statt. Mit Tegan Nox hat mich etwas zu viel Zeit gelassen, um sie per Videoclip einem breiten Publikum vorzustellen. Daher wirkt der Sieg hier kaum wie ein großer Moment, wird jedenfalls von den Zuschauern nicht so behandelt. Ebenfalls Bibliotheksatmosphäre hatte Xia Li gegen Indi Hartwell. Dazwischen können aber Ludwig Kaiser und Tommaso Ciampa einigermaßen überzeugen. Miz vor seinem Match mit Gunther noch ein bisschen zu stärken, ist sicherlich eine gute Idee. Daher war das Match mit Ivar hier wenigstens effektiv. Insgesamt eine Show, die vielleicht nicht in allen Details überzeugt, aber doch genug Entwicklungen enthält, um durchgehend Interesse zu erzeugen."
[6.0] "This show is the most clear proof of something WWE as always done, or doesn't do, better said. They don't risk, they are complacient, they just do the bare minimum that they know casuals will love no matter how good or bad it actually is. A lot of matches here suffered from that exactly. Good in-ring action, but they don't push forward. It's the complete opposite with NXT. NXT puts some risk, some originality on their stories, they let their talent go all out and don't limit them. Why don't they do the same thing on the Main Roster? I'm sure they would succeed. Just look at Miz vs Ivar. It wasn't a Kobashi vs Misawa, but for a TV match they did good enough. Ciampa vs Kaiser were too held back in their match, Piper vs Tegan was being nice, but ended too soon and I don't buy Chelsea and Piper as champions losing that much, and I don't believe anyone buys another random team like Tegan and Natalya. Indi vs Xia was a waste of time, and they're building Xia just to feed her to Becky. Otis vs Shinsuke was ok, but it was just an excuse to make Nakamura vs Gable happen. I hope that match is beyond just decent. And the Main Event is the same thing we got to see each week, nuff said. The segments in this show were ok. Cody and Rollins burying the hatchet was cool, and it's even cooler they don't book them like good friends forgetting what they went through just because Rollins is Face now. Tozawa's segments with The New Day are the most funny part of RAW each week. I love the "Tozawa, that's Nasty! " thing so much, and I liked the interaction between Maxxine and Ivy Nile. Gunther talking down to Miz was also nice and Drew McIntyre showing respect to Seth just to turn heel later on shows some deepness in his character. This show needs some creativity and some will to push beyond conformity."
[7.0] "good show, but weaker than last week. most matches were average and adequate plus good promos, especially the opening one. Drew's interference in the Main Event was an absolutely right decision, although I was sure that it'll happen. Women's matches weren't good enough and they have to work on it."
[7.0] "To say this show was only focused on a few things would be an understatement as this was mainly about War Games and a few other things (the Womens Title match and Gunther vs. Miz). There were other stories being touched on, but they were nothing compared to what really got the focus here. War Games is pretty much all that matters for Raw on Survivor Series though and thats what this show focused on."
[6.0] "In my opinion, this was a pretty boring show, the only thing that was like must watch, was the main event and the angle that close the show, there were some fun thing in the show, but I just felt like a filler episode before next week go-home show for WarGames"
"I don't like to do reviews for regular shows as the reviews will pretty much the same each show of a regular WWE or AEW quality episode with the occasional this was a dip in quality show or this was a better than usual show. Just wanted to say they better replace JD with Drew now that he partnered with Ripley."
[5.0] "SAME OLD SHIT FROM ALL WEEK. Always starting with the same people, with the same types of segments and at the end announcing the same fights that we see every week on Raw, Raw has become exaggeratedly repetitive to the point that I can make a bingo about what will happen at the beginning and at the end. end of the show. The rest of the show was also nothing great, Nakamura's vignettes lately have been the same thing just to create the expectation of Punk appearing at Survivor Series, if it was just Naka making these references maybe it would be more interesting but now anyone on the show does it references to the point of becoming a joke. DIY hasn't been as interesting for me as I expected at the beginning, I think the biggest fault is the fact that the public doesn't care about them at the moment, The Miz as a babyface is also something that I don't like, not only because it seems too forced but because it seems like a downgrade in terms of Gunther's opponents, in addition his fights are extremely slow and with little emotion, looking like he is fighting at 0.5x speed. the booking of the Raw women's division doesn't please me at all either, none of the women on the roster seem to be a threat to Rhea other than Becky Lynch, who we all know is going to win the Royal Rumble next year, it also doesn't help that that Rhea barely gets involved with the other women and seems to only get involved so as not to leave the division completely stagnant. the only thing I liked about the show was Drew's Heel Turn, but that was also very predictable but I don't see the problem. PS: a complaint that doesn't involve the show is about Seth's reign, which unfortunately is disappointing me a lot since there are several of his fights are quite disappointing, mainly due to the fact that he is fighting in an "automatic" way because of his back injury."
[9.0] "I saw this show live, and while the guys in front of us kept standing up, we were still able to enjoy the show. The opening segment into the match was predictable, but for the sake of a War Games build, it's acceptable. A solid bout with fun in JD's overselling. Shinsuke vs. Otis was yet another fun match, and alpha academy is always fun. The build for Shinsuke vs. <REDACTED> at SS is certainly well done. I hope <REDACTED> does well too. Tegan and Piper was also relatively good, despite the rest of the crowd's lack of reaction. I am tired of burying champs though. Kaiser and Ciampa was great, building for Bash in Berlin with the cracks in Imperium starting to reveal themselves. I expect Kaiser to cost Gunther the IC belt at some point between now and BIB. Xia and Indi were only there to bring back Becky, but she was brilliantly brought back. Their match next week could be fun. Miz beating Ivar was cool, and athletic Miz is fun to see. He should put up a solid fight at SS. The main event was just another JD v. Sami, Cody, Jey, and/or Seth match but ok nonetheless. Drew's eventual arrival and heel turn was expertly done, and was enjoyable to see. Overall, RAW put on a lot of great matches, with a minimal amount of lows or gaffs. 9/10"
[8.0] "Another great week for Raw. I love seeing the growth within the Womens division with Tegan Nox & Xia Li getting pushes. Becky Lynch's promo was good. The backstage segment with Creed Brothers, Alpha Academy & The NEw Day was entertaining. Xia Li's short match with Indi was done very well. Tegan and Piper had a good match that the crowd werent interested in at the beginning. Miz's promo was great. The opening promo segment was great with Judgement Day and Team Cody. Drew's heel turn was done very well."
