Rate RAW: 7/25/22

[EoE: Well There's Your Problem]

First post-Vince RAW… Have at it.

[Nr1Humanoid]

I gave it a 6 for the matches.

I gave 6. I feel like there was a lot of anticipation and there were some things that were done that show there will be differences but I felt the show was honestly kind of boring... but I also feel they may just be trying to get through Summerslam and then make any changes.

It flowed better than it has in ages, but was still clearly a beginning, not a finished product.

Solid 7. Everything felt like it had a purpose, segments flowed into matches, we only had one instance of "wrestler standing in ring" and when we cut back to Alexa, Doudrop was already coming out so the show didn't stop to show us the backstage thing. They were definitely hampered by storylines already in motion, but it was a good start.

2/10. Giving them an extra point because the show went by shockingly fast, but last night's Raw still had all the usual Raw tropes I've grown sick of (match ends in DQ leading to tag match, matches consisting of people who've faced each other a million times, HEEEAAATTT). I'm enjoying pretty much nothing the company does these days and this show was no exception.

6/10.  Too much Theory and Roman, and the Logan/Maryse/Miz segment sucked, but Theory being targeted by nearly everyone was hilarious, and I can see some improvements for Raw happening eventually.

[YAKMAN is ICHIBAN]

Didn't watch, instead I went with the G1 Night 4 tournament matches, then played VR minigolf

I'd say around 6.5 to 7. Rhea's return added some needed energy and highlighted how different Judgement Day is when she's around. Definitely not a perfect show, but flowed better than recent weeks and had some fun moments.

[Mecca]

Why did so many matches get joined "in progress" that's kind of annoying.

[Finish Uncle Muffin’s Story]

I went 8. I enjoyed the show live.

For those wondering, Meltzer also says this was the last Vince-written show, so those thinking it had huge difference, just keep that in mind.

["Evil Brood" Jackson Vanik]

It was fine. Opening segment was fun and the Rey stuff was cool but felt most matches got too much time and could have cut out a few spots. The Logan Paul stuff also sucked in my view.

[attitudeeraguy22]

8/10 for me. Everything had a purpose and connected with a story. The Impaulsive segment was lame and the Alexa/Doudrop match was a bathroom break, but everything else on the show had meaning. Even the random Dolph and AJ pairing was an interesting experiment.

I think you’ll see more actual update and change after Summerslam though.

Gave it a 6. Felt like a typical Raw with some minor tweaks, but I saw it as the last Raw of the Vince era. I'm looking forward to seeing if next week's episode is where we see a reset of sorts with feuds and storylines.

Edit: I guess I was right to feel that way since Vince apparently wrote it.

[häšhtå.gdālėÿ]

Gave it a 7 because I feel there’s optimism moving forward. The show itself was pretty Ho-hum, but can’t blow an entire thing up overnight.

I’m super interested in a potential post-SummerSlam reset and to see if rematches rematches rematches rematches is a thing of the past now.

[ThankGodForSidJustice]

I didn't watch it as I was at the Brewer game but looking at the results it looked like a pretty nothing show. Only interesting development was the one Judgement Day segment with Rhea returning. Otherwise it just seemed like more of the usual.
