[7.0] "the opening segment perfectly showed that drew losing the cash in was a perfect decision, it was two of the all time great talkers in an excellent overall segment. the backstage segment with preist and rolllins then made this completely void, such a ridiculous segment. the opening few matches were fine, luckily they're giving dunne a singles push. the tag match was boring and pointless, dom got an awkward boner backstage which was then followed by an excellent bo dallas promo which is hilarious. pierce walking into his office with bo being there was so cool. one womens match on the card was pretty fine but poor from wwe. the main event was pretty weak, the ending also made no sense as there was no need for liv to distract the ref, the reah return was a great ending to the show."

[7.0] "This show got some fillers which not really that exciting. However, I really love the segment between Seth Rollins and CM Punk. I can't wait to see them having a match in a heated rivalry. Oh, and also great pop for Rhea Ripley's return."

[6.0] "Die Eröffnungspromo zwischen Punk und Rollins war ziemlich lang, aber da beide am Mikro sehr gut sind, fiel das nicht negativ auf. Die ersten beiden Matches waren nett, aber nicht unbedingt wichtig. Das Segment zwischen Breakker und Zayn war solide, wobei ich nicht ganz verstehe, warum man direkt zum Rematch zwischen den beiden aufbaut. Man hätte Breakker auch einfach bei Money in the Bank siegen lassen können. Auch später empfand ich Breakkers Match mit Dragunov als mehr von bereits Gesehenem. Das Match zwischen Judgment Day und Braun & Awesome Truth fühlte sich sehr houseshowartig an. Das Main Event zwischen Rey & Zelian und Liv & Dominik war dafür überraschend spaßig. Normalerweise bin ich kein Fan von Mixed Tag Matches, aber hier war genug Story enthalten, um doch mit zahlreichen kreativen Spots zu unterhalten. Das Comeback von Rhea am Ende kam früher als erwartet. Ich hätte Liv und Dominik vielleicht noch etwas klarer miteinander positioniert, bevor es zum Comeback kommt, aber auch so bin ich interessiert, was als nächstes passiert."

[10.0] "Eine Wirklich Fantastische RAW Episode hier aus Kanada, die mich einfach von vorne bis hinten komplett überzeugen konnte. Nicht nur die Storylines werden momentan einfach perfekt dargestellt, sondern auch die Wrestler und es werden neue Top Stars aufgebaut oder alte komplett neu dargestellt und aufgebaut. Man macht hier wirklich alles einfach absolut richtig und mir gefällt einfach alles. Man hat den Money In The Bank PLE, am vergangenen Samstag, wirklich gut Rückblickend eingebaut. Meine Sterne zu den jeweiligen Matches bei dieser RAW Ausgabe: Chad Gable vs. Jey Uso (***1/2), Bronson Reed vs. Pete Dunne (***1/2), Six Man Tag Team Match (***), Dragunov vs. Breakker (***3/4), Womens Six Man Tag Team Match (***) & der Main Event zwischen Liv Morgen + Dominik Mysterio vs. Rey Mysterio & Zelina Vega (***1/2). Rhea Ripley feiert fast am Ende dieser Ausgabe Ihre Rückkehr, was die Kirche auf der Sahne Torte ist, und diese RAW Ausgabe wirklich perfekt abschließt. Insgesamt gebe Ich die Volle Punktzahl. Hier ist wirklich alles ausschließlich Positiv gewesen."

"Did not care about any matches, especially about Ilja, but the bookings around CM Punk and Seth Rollins, the ongoing Judgement Day storyline with Liv and soon Rhea is good, as is the mystery about Chad Gable and the Wyatt Sicks. Sami Zayn and Breakker though is just terrible. Do not care about the Women's Division either."

[8.0] "Aside from a slight lull at the halfway point, this RAW flowed well and had great vibes throughout. Punk's promo alone had my curiosity, but his back-and-forth with Rollins, who was blistering on the mic, got my attention. Nikki Cross still is creepy as hell. Damien cancelling the gentleman's agreement to give Seth another shot at the title after SummerSlam both goes along with his character and helps wash the bad taste of what happened at MITB away. Sami Zayn got cocky and got his ribs crushed as a result. There was another really good Wyatt video that reminded us of the group, before we finally got a real live glimpse at Bo Dallas in Pearces's office. The presence of a deadly serious Sonya Deville instantly. made Bazler and Stark more interesting. Looking forward to what they'll do in the future. And, hoo boy, Rhea Ripley is back on RAW. Build-up to SummerSlam is starting to cook."

[6.0] "Felt like such a loooooong show but I appreciated some segments here. The Punk/Rollins opener was very well done and Im excited to see where it all goes in this main WHC storyline, we got more Wyatt6 brilliance (I swear to god that repeating Db note always gets me), I really believe that Sami and Ilja are BFFs and Bron plays such a good asshole, Damage CTRL getting involved in stable war stuff is kinda nice I guess, and obviously the best segment of this whole show involved Rheas return. Dirty Doms in so much trouble lmao. Otherwise, the actual matches themselves were kinda boring. Idk what it is this week but it definitely felt like a drop in quality."

[6.0] "I was so invested in that Punk and Rollins segment. Another Wyatt6 tape, liked this one. Interesting post-match angle with Pete and Sheamus. I still think Bron looks strong even after losing at MITB. Maybe they can get somewhere with adding Sonya to Baszler and Stark. Finally, Rhea returns after being teased a couple of times. Satisfied with this raw."

[6.0] "I'm more hype for a Punk/Rollins, because we know that IRL, Seth can't stand Punk, it's personal between the 2, more spontaneous. The possible triple threat with Drew will spoil the 2 individual rivalries between Punk and the other 2. There is the possibility of wanting to protect Punk physically with this kind of match. Anyway on this intro segment, Rollins hits very hard and tells the truth about Punk. Big pop for Ripley, no wonder they're bringing her back. The Liv Morgan circus has gone on long enough, back to serious business. Can't wait to see who Dom chooses: Liv or Mami... Zayn vs Breakker vs Dragunov, Summerslam, come on I want this match."

[4.0] "I do not know where to begin with this. Ive been watching Pro wrestling since the 80s, loved the Raw vs. Nitro years, took a long break and here we are again. The Uncle Howdy stuff I just cant get into and I understand that may be an unpopular opinion. But it is slow paced, cringe, and you have professional Olympic athletes running away from fog machines and a creepy girl. Its like a bad sitcom. The matches have so many moves that miss and the overselling is insane. Fake crowd noises while people sit on their hands....seeing it as an adult is different which is ashame. However the entrances and packages are on point. They do a great job of recapping, and having long entrances which do make everyone feel like a star. Then the bell rings, and you have the women's champ sexually playing with Dom Mysterio, amid the accusations at the time might be in bad taste. They do build to the PLE's well but sometimes you need more than a 3 hour commercial / ad."

[3.0] "BORING! I personally think the Dom Mysterio love triangle is the lamest story going so Rhea returning does nothing for me, aside from being happy that one of the few solid women workers in that company is back. I want to see people like Jacob Fatu kill people, not a teenage love triangle with a Nepo baby with two left feet. The Wyatt 6 gives me douche chills, Im sorry, but this STINKS! Wrestlers being scared of Bo Dallas and Dexter Lumis in Spirit Halloween masks is so bad that its funny. Aside fro. Ilja/Bron this was a poor show wrestling wise and that , arch wasnt something you need to go out of your way to watch."

[5.0] "What a weird place Raw and Smackdown are in. The matches range from boring to decent to great but there's not enough of the good ones and not enough time for any. The segments are usually the best part of the show. I still detest the soap opera Dom/Liv/Rhea stuff. Why is Live dry humping Dom in the middle of the ring? Not my thing."

[6.0] "This may be another case of me eating hing the episode in chucks and not all in one go but I dont get what all the fuss is about for this episode judging by the slighter higher than deserved Cagey ratings. I thought each match was average at best for WWE standards and the initial promo was not up to much. Nice intrigue continuing with the Wyatt Six storyline though and nice to see that it doesnt look like its gonna go down the spooky route."

[7.0] "Pretty good show, started off with that awesome segment with CM Punk and Seth then the Jey and Chad match was fine I guess but we got something out of it which was the Wyatts. The 2nd match was literally just thrown in here, basically a Main Event match on Raw, but another thing came out of that which is the potential Sheamus and Pete feud since Tylers out for months. Sami & Brons segment was incredibly predictable, but not bad. The Judgment Day clown show with Braun and Awesome Truth hopefully is put to rest at this point. Uncle Howdy had yet another insane video tape. Ilja vs Bron was the match of the night and it wasnt even that good. The Damage CTRL match was just meh but the Sonya return was unexpected. The main event was okay until Rhea returned as well. Overall, this was just a good episode, not a great one but just a good one."

[6.0] "Not a very weak show, but not also one of the most outstandings of the year. In-ring quality varied from pretty good for TV (Ilja vs Bron), to decent (Women's trios, Reed vs Dunne) to dull (Main Event), to placeholders (Opener), to funny but overall lame (Men's trios). Carlito is a curious case. When it comes to his feuds and performances he is completely mid, as well as how WWE is booking the Tag Titles and the champions, but when it comes to backstage segments related to the Liv and Dom story, he is so damn good and funny. Perfect face expressions, always delivering the right sentences, amazing comedy timing. He is contributing a lot to that story, and now that Rhea is back for revenge, things just can go better. CM Punk and Seth Rollins promo was really good, both men telling trues and showing their impressions towards each other. Punk was screwing Drew at MITB, but by doing so he ended up also screwing the other man in the company that dislikes him, and now he has to deal with the consequences of his actions, as Drew did. That story is just going better and better. Also on the high points of the show, the Wyatt Sicks keeps delivering. Bo Dallas with large beard is the is the living image of his brother, like some kind of reincarnation. The way that vignette was produced was so well done, full of little details, explaining why he chose each member of the stable (I not sure if the "grief is the price for love" line was related to Nikki Cross actually, as I don't know if that fits with her somehow). Interesting to see what Bo told Adam Pearce in his office, as well as when the Diamond Mine is going to finally join Chad Gable (I'm not sure if this is the most appropriate time for that, as being destroyed by the Sicks doesn't seem like a good start for that stable, but I trust Triple H to know what he is doing)."

[5.0] "Opening segment with CM Punk was entertaining as always, especially when Seth Freakin Rollins came out with a trade of words that makes for intrigue to what lays down the road between these two. Jey Uso vs Chad Gable: This match had the potential of being a good match, but they did not deliver unfortunately, Wyatt6 obviously messing with the lights at the end to allow Jey to win the match and distract Gable was not good [*3/4]. Bronson Reed vs Pete Dunne: Dunne finger snapping Reed was okay, Reed getting the win was obvious to see, the action was average at best [*3/4]. Carlito, Finn Balor & JD McDonagh vs Braun Strowman, R-Truth & The Miz: Did not enjoy this match that much, the action was average and it did not get to the next level it needed [*1/2]. Ilja Dragunov vs Bron Breakker: The match was okay, they did have chemistry and the action showed it, but the DQ finish was the wrong way to go, when Breakker threw the announcers chair in the face of Dragunov [**3/4]. Dakota Kai, IYO SKY & Kairi Sane vs Katana Chance, Kayden Carter & Lyra Valkyria: Pretty standard six woman tag team match that had one or two okay moments [**]. Dominik Mysterio & Liv Morgan vs Rey Mysterio & Zelina Vega: The match had its moments, but it did revolve around the love story between Liv and Dom, Rey and Zelina worked well together, the ending did kinda ruin it for me [**1/4]"

[7.0] "The match quality and storytelling elements balance out really well. The controversial MITB booking is really paying off post-the show. Rhea returning, Bo Dallas appears as himself, not just as Howdy, Wyatt Sicks segments still having a ton of aura, just an overall fun show."

[8.0] "I really liked this show. I didn't skip a single segment, which is really rare for me. I normally hate that it's three hours long and while that's still the case, it didn't bother me that much today. There was nothing bad on this show except for the Wyatt Sicks which really isn't my cup of tea to say the least. Every else makes sense and I like all the storylines and it's chock-full of them."

[4.0] "A pretty boring show to be honest. The in ring quality on this show pretty bad, with the only match worth watching being Dragunov vs Breakker and even so, it's the weakest match that the pair have had. There were a few great angles here, like the Seth and Punk stuff, the Wyatt 6 tape (although the way they introduce the tapes is getting slightly repetitive) and of course the Rhea return, but they aren't good enough to make up for the aggressively average wrestling that was all over this show. Super skippable episode"

[8.0] "Very well booked Post-PLE show. The matches itself did their job and all of them were at least fun and entertaining, but the progression of the stories is where this episode really sticks the landing. Rollins vs. Punk set for the near future, The Wyatt Sicks get a nice explanation for their characteristics, a new stable in the womens division freshens things up, Chad Gable once again talks to the Creeds, Judgment Day business + the return of Rhea Ripley adds more fuel to the story...lots of good stuff going on on the road to Summerslam I am looking forward to"

[8.0] "Another great episode of WWE RAW tonight in Ottawa, Canada, all the matches were good, and the beginning with CM Punk's promo being interrupted by Seth Rollins was really fun, as it added new layers to their future in this rivalry that should have There was a match between them at WrestleMania 40, the promo done by Bo Dallas, despite being shorter compared to the previous ones, was great because it introduced the characters that each member of Wyatt Sicks plays in the stable, and the end of the episode featuring the return of Rhea Ripley was very good, the stories progressed a lot towards SummerSlam in Cleveland Ohio."

[5.0] "The Punk and Rollins segment was very well done with seeds planted for the future for both stars. The return of Rhea Ripley was also a good thing to see. The Bron spear on Sami was done so well that it makes Bron still look decent. Other than that this show felt dull. It happens from time to time but its a RAW that you could catchup on with the highlights in around 15 minutes."

[6.0] "Decent show nothing of real importance happened besides the Rhea return. Some story progression throughout with the wyatts, damage control, liv and dom, punk and seth and a few others. The matches ranged From average to solid with the main event and dragon vs Bron being the best ones. Awesome to see Rhea back shes a star."

[7.0] "This was not as good as last couple of weeks but it was still very enjoyable show. That says more about the bar RAW has been setting these last few weeks. We did get some amazing segments... CM Punk is always money. Delivers an awesome promo, gets the crowd hot. Seth comes to a great reception, calls Punk a hypocrite. Punk's half hearted apology was so funny. Even the crowd started laughing... I thought this week's Wyatt tape wasn't as good as the previous ones. But it was meant to introduce the Wyatt members... Dom and Liv were involved in a hilarious segment that was a little non PG as R Truth would say. Carlito is hysterical with his lines... I liked the segment with Sheamus almost having a mini reunion with Butch. So glad they're doing something with it. I hope Ridge comes back as well... I think they wanted to have too many things on this show but they can't because of so many commercials and recap from Money in the Bank and hence so many vignette promos from Priest, Damage CTRl, Gunther and Final Testament. But all of those were decent. Biggest surprise was Rhea's return. Let's see what she's going to do to poor Liv lol."

[7.0] "We kicked off tonight with CM Punk. Hes one of the best on the mic in the world right now, and even at commentary during his opponent's entrance. Seth Rollins was a great match for him. I really enjoyed the atmosphere of this promo and how it elevated to the sky McIntyres feud with CM Punk, Rollins feud with CM Punk, and the relevance of the world title with Seth Rollins. Excellent work by both, as usual. The first match of the night was between Jey Uso and Chad Gable. I love everything about Jey Uso before the bell rings, and this match was another example of that. In the end, Jey Uso won when the Wyatt 6 shenanigans started interfering in the match. Is this hinting at a heel turn for Jey Uso, as he left Gable to fend for himself and ran away like a coward? Why is Wyatt 6 targeting Gable? Is Uncle Howdy a regressive conservative who rejects new things, and thats why hes angry at a world that keeps moving forward, using outdated things like VHS tapes? So many questions. Next, we got to Sami Zayn's controversial IC title reign. Do I think Sami should have been the one to dethrone Gunther? No. Do I think he should have beaten Breakker at MITB? No. But I do think Sami is one of the best to ever perform in this business and belongs at the top of the current WWE roster. Sami Zayn was on fire on the mic today, speaking nothing but truth. Breakker came out with his best arguments for another match and ended up beating down Sami Zayn. Dragunov's involvement in the storyline feels natural and fits well. The 6-man tag was an entertaining TV match with R-Truth paying homage to his childhood hero, John Cena. I had no issues with this, just like I haven't had many issues with anything today so far. Even the Liv/Dominik storyline didn't bother me. A teen romantic comedy isnt why I tune into RAW, but in small doses, why not? The stretching segment was funny. We then transitioned from a funny segment to a creepy, eerie part with Wyatt 6, Chad Gable, and Bo Dallas, and then back to some solid in-ring action between Dragunov and Breakker. I love the variety and range of emotions that one can experience during a RAW episode. It's one of the reasons I watch and love wrestling. The end of Ilja and Bron's match was sacrificed for further building the Intercontinental title feud. In the short term, it was disappointing because I wanted a clean finish, but in the long term, everyone involved came out looking good. I'm not feeling any hype for the Gunther/Priest match yet. I see it as a necessary thing before Ring General finally becomes WWE heavyweight champion of the world. I watched the entire episode because I'm sick at home, but if I had limited time as usual, there were definitely parts I would have skipped, like Karrion Kross. He mentioned John Cena in his promo, and I don't want to say it would be a total waste of time if John Cena got involved with Kross, but... From the women's match, a new dangerous trio emerged with Shayna, Zoey, and Sonya. I'd like to feign some interest, but... If I truly had limited time, the third hour is where I would skip the most, maybe breeze through the whole thing in 5 minutes. I would savor Gunthers vignette and Rhea Ripley's return. I must say, I enjoyed most of RAW, and if the product were this consistent, I'd have little reason to watch anything else in my limited free time. WWE is pretty hot leading into the hottest event of the summer.6.5/10"

[9.0] "Liv Dom Rhea storyline... INCREDIBLE. It just keeps on giving great moments and getting better and better, and now with Rhea back we're gonna be eating well. In terms of match quality RAW last night downgraded from the previous episodes but nothing terrible. Other stories are going solid as well."

[7.0] "In-ring wise alone I'd give this episode a 5/10, as none of the matches rose above mildly entertaining, however with the great Punk/Rollins promo and the return of Rhea, that boosts it to a 7/10 for me. But mostly a skippable RAW"

[6.0] "What is everyone else seeing that Im not? ! Five out of the six matches didn't matter AT ALL and the talking segments away from the opener were just alright. If this show was 40 minutes long we would have lost absolutely NOTHING. Luckily, Rollins, Punk and Mami were here to carry the show, and of course a top quality knob gag from Carlito. Otherwise this show offered some mediocrity spread across three hours. I have no idea how anyone watched this live without tapping out. After the debacle that was MITB this needed to be an A+ show and it just wasnt. Thank f**k for Rheas return. Bron, Ilya and Sami deserve special mention, their work on this show was solid and the only decent match."

[6.0] "The entire episode was based around Rhea's return, so at times it felt like nothing major was happening just to not try and outshine that moment. Other than that, there wasn't anything really interesting just some storyline progression."

[6.0] "At least the episode moved quickly. Opening with over 20 minutes of talking is never a plus in my books. After that a decent match being stopped by Wyatt Sicks shenanigans makes the episode even worse. Bronson Reed is very boring. The stipulation between Rollins and Priest not being held is stupid. I love Bron Breakker. No reason to talk just spear Sami out of a shoe. Judgement Day's Balor, JD and Carlito are pretty dull now. There was no woman's match until two hours into the show. Unacceptable with the deep roster they have. Lyra is good but seems always out of place position wise. Kairi almost got injured with her lazy jump to the outside. It was a bold choice to pair the three most non charismatic women in Shayna, Zoey and Sonya together. Mixed tag as a main event is cool. Rhea coming back is great."

[7.0] "A good episode post-MITB. The opener and the 3v3 of the Judgment Day were pretty boring, but the 3v3 of DMG CNTRL, the mixed tag team match, and the Ilja vs. Bron Breakker segment were funny. I loved the opening segment between CM Punk and Seth Rollins, and the build for Bron Breakker against Sami for Summerslam was well done. I'm happy about the return of Rhea."

[6.0] "Good opening promo with Seth Rollins and CM Punk. Also Rhea Ripley is back. That was the two highlights from Raw this week. The Wyatt 6 stuff is not my cup of tea."

[8.0] "A good show. CM Punk & Seth had a fun promo. A good match from Jey & Chad. A boring match from Pete & Bronson. Priest teasing Rhea's return. Bo Dallas meeting up with Adam Pearce. Judgment Day vs. Strowman & Awesome Truth was mid. Ilja vs. Bron was fun, and made Bron a beast again. A horrible promo from Sami. Sami Zayn just doing a whole lot of yapping. Mid match from Damage CTRL and Lyra & Kayden & Kantana. A mid promo from Damage CTRL backstage. Sonya joining Zoey and Shayna for no reason at all. Dom & Liv vs. LWO was ok, but Rhea's return was awesome. The show really got saved from CM Punk & Seth's promo, Jey & Chad's match, Ilja & Bron's match, and Rhea's return. 8/10"

[9.0] "I thought this show did a very good job beginning the build to Summerslam. The opening segment with Punk and Rollins was everything I like about post Vince WWE promos. It felt like two grown ups talking instead of reading off a script and it was all the better for it. Delighted to see Pete Dunne get the beginning of a story with Sheamus going, hopefully this leads to them getting back together. Rhea being back is huge for Raw and the story with Liv and Dom is just tremendous television. The Wyatt stuff again was really well done, as was the Sami, Ilja, Bron segment. It looks like Damage CTRL might be turning face and again Im all for that."
