[6.0] "A solid TV match. The match is builded around RVD trying to defeat his challenger while showcasing his moveset, he's very over and Booker T tries to frustrate the fans by dominating him. **3/4"
[7.0] "I literally couldn't think of a better way to start this new era of RAW than with this match. These two surprisingly had good chemistry despite RVD being from ECW & Booker T being from WCW, but they're still really damn good at this time. I loved Booker moving out of the way of the rolling thunder to do the spinarooni into the Harlem Sidekick, that was so sick."
[6.0] "This was a solid 6 mins TV match to start off the show. The midcard rarely get this lot during TV so they made the most of it, and it turned out to be a good competitive match for the time it got. [***]"
[6.0] "Great match to open the show considering this is a 7 minute match. Nice chemistry between RVD and Booker T and some really nice in-ring action that wished it lasted a little bit more considering the rest of matches in this card are poor (***1/4)"
