[fw91]

8. Enjoyable show

["Evil Brood" Jackson Vanik]

6 - some good stuff but a lot of it didn't really hit with me. Felt a bit long by the end.

[häšhtå.gdālėÿ]

Middle of the road. It was fine. I voted 5, could have gone 6.

[Alice Syndrome]

Dumbass cash in attempt/10

[UN PLOMBIER NIGHTMARE #blm]

7 sounds about right, enjoyed Raw a lot more than usual but some of the ways these characters act still blows my mind.

[Finish Uncle Muffin’s Story]

9. Really enjoyed it.

[asuka007]

7/10:

Becky vs. Nia and Rhea vs. Ivy were both quite good.

R-Truth continues to be hilarious.

Shayna and Zoey got a win.


But that Rock segment DRAGGED!!

And Super-Seth strikes again while both Drew and Priest look like the biggest idiots in the process.

[Fade]

9 Great RAW

[Renslayer]

Good ass hoops tonight

[DSR]

I went with a 4. Production was less nausea inducing, they went for a PPV Quality feel with the video packages, Miz got a nice win, and Ivy Nile looked good in defeat(tm).

BUT, they started the year off with continuing to try to make Nia Jax a thing. Tegan Nox is still tagging with Natalya, and lost. The Rock's big return doesn't really appeal to me. And Drew McIntyre AND Damien Priest both looked like big ol' doofuses.

I'm not really factoring in the Imperium match. Accidents happen.

[koreycaskets]

Solid 8,!!

[Celgress]

8 out of 10, IMHO.

[john84]

An 8 out of 10 for me personally for reasons I gave on the live chat thread. MotN for me was Ivy v Rhea. Hope Vinci recovers quickly from injury. Rock calling out Reigns was predictable. Mahal was actually enjoyable tonight lol. So yeah, pretty good way to start 2024 for me personally tonight.

[schma]

I think either Drew or Priest should have taken the title off Seth tonight. Even if they put it back on him in time for 'Mania, it would shake up the status quo and start the year off with a bang.

[welshpenguin]

10 excellent show. The special appearance by the former world champ was awesome & The Rock’s appearance was pretty special too 😋

[Push R Truth]

R-Truth-o-Mania is running wild, brother!

[Denny Zen is Cooking™]

First RAW I've watched mostly start to finish since tuning in for Punk's return. I'd go 8. I'm not sure if it's a placebo with Dunn being done, but I felt less like I was watching a bad PS3-era cutscene than I generally do when I watch WWE over the last decade or so.

I am ultra skeptical on the Rock's return though. I kind of struggle to see how it's any different than any of the other litany of part-timers returning just in time to interject themselves into main event feuds during Mania season that usually get sharply criticized, but it feels like it's getting a pass because WWE is perceived as "hot" right now.

[chronocross]

6/10, decent show last night.

I enjoyed the Rock's segment with Mahal but I really hope this match happens at Elimination Chamber and not Mania as I think it will be struggle for him to work a 20-30 minute match these days.

Drew McIntyre chokes yet again in a big title match, perhaps he hasn't re-signed and WWE didn't want to take a chance on him.

Damian Priest has been trying to cash in for the last 6 months and has failed every time, he looks like the biggest goof out there.

First RAW I've watched mostly start to finish since tuning in for Punk's return. I'd go 8. I'm not sure if it's a placebo with Dunn being done, but I felt less like I was watching a bad PS3-era cutscene than I generally do when I watch WWE over the last decade or so.

I am ultra skeptical on the Rock's return though. I kind of struggle to see how it's any different than any of the other litany of part-timers returning just in time to interject themselves into main event feuds during Mania season that usually get sharply criticized, but it feels like it's getting a pass because WWE is perceived as "hot" right now.

I think Rock-Roman over the Head of the Table/Tribal Chief title is a match/feud that I think the majority of fans are genuinely interested in seeing. It feels less of a shoehorning of someone into the company when they don’t fit. I think the probability of it happening at EC and not Mania helps with the reception to it as well.
