[The Rick Jericho]

6.

Lyra getting over.

Jey going over?

[mistery]

Rating a six. All of the women's matches were good. Men's matches were fine as well.

That being said, not exactly a fan of WWE pretty obviously giving away who is winning the semis next week between Iyo and Lyra, considering they have Lyra in a full bodysuit in their matchup image, and Iyo is not in one.

[schizo]

9

Great matches with IYO/Bazler being match of the night imo

[Doo Doo Dickhead]

I can probably count on one hand the number of Raws I've given an 8, but this is one of them. Happy that Iyo and Lyra won their matches. A little disappointed that Jey beat Ilja, but I also don't have a problem with them saving Ilja vs. Gunther III for a bigger stage.

One thing that annoyed me was Judgment Day winning the #1 contenders match. The group has become one of my least parts of Raw now even though I like Priest and Finn individually. Adding JD and now Carlito has brought the act down for me.

["Evil Brood" Jackson Vanik]

6 - it was fine but nothing really tickled my fancy.

[UN PLOMBIER NIGHTMARE #blm]

8, ring work took several steps up tonight

[fw91]

Didn't watch. Watching the NY sports team royally f*** up the joint tonight. Feel like I didn't miss much. Seems RAW has been in-ring heavy lately.

Which I usually wouldn't be too crazy about, but the TV matches have actually kept my interest lately!

I still need an interesting story. TBH, I've been kinda bored by the product since Mania, and even then I was really just into the main event and Drew. I can't really describe it, because WWE isn't really doing anything bad. Just unexciting.

[asuka007]

8.5/10:

Some really good matches tonight.

Nice to see the NXT people getting reactions.

I get why Jey won. But having him just kick out of Ilja’s finisher then just hit two moves and win, felt too Super-Cena like imo.

[J is Justice]

8.

All the matches were good. Iyo got a great reaction; shame she's still a heel. Liv/Becky segment was great.

[häšhtå.gdālėÿ]

There’s a lot of people that really annoy me on RAW, but I was mostly entertained throughout.

All the matches were good. Iyo got a great reaction; shame she's still a heel. Liv/Becky segment was great.

I don't think WWE wants Iyo as a face, because she's shown that she can wrestle circles around the other women in the company, and get the audience strongly invested with that alone. It's pretty clear that WWE already has their handpicked faces to build the future up around, which would be Lyra on RAW, and Jade on Smackdown. So barring a Daniel Bryan/Kofi Kingston esque level movement for Iyo, I don't think she's gonna get a real run at the top again any time soon. And I don't see that happening because it's only happened once before with an ESL speaker (Asuka), and WWE immediately pissed that all away by having her constantly losing as champion still, and then dropping the title to Charlotte two weeks before Mania.

8. Despite not being ''fond'' of the fact that Jey went over in the main event the show was pretty good overall. Match wise only Sami/Otis and Reed/Tozawa disappointed me. Chad being a bastard was fun to watch and I'm looking forward to him getting his ass kicked by Otis one day.

Liv/Becky stuff was fun to watch too. Lyra getting such a good reaction tonight as well was nice to see.

I also learned in the Raw thread tonight that Amy Winehouse was a smark!

I can probably count on one hand the number of Raws I've given an 8, but this is one of them. Happy that Iyo and Lyra won their matches. A little disappointed that Jey beat Ilja, but I also don't have a problem with them saving Ilja vs. Gunther III for a bigger stage.

One thing that annoyed me was Judgment Day winning the #1 contenders match. The group has become one of my least parts of Raw now even though I like Priest and Finn individually. Adding JD and now Carlito has brought the act down for me.

Wait....Carlito is in Judgment Day now?!

7/10, decent show last night.

I didn't mind Jey winning as I think they want to have Gunther/Ilja on a major stage and not a semifinal match on Raw.

Hope Drew gets well soon so he can challenge Priest at Clash at the Castle in June.

Maybe Kofi gets corrupted by Kross, it would be something different than what they've been doing so far.

I was thoroughly sports entertained! Lots of really great matches.
-IYO vs Shayna was fire.
-Lrya and Stark was great.
-Gunther and Kofi was excellent.
-Tag cluster was good, but I was getting tired by then.
-Jey and Dragonov was good, but I'm not into Jey at all at the moment. His entrance is spectacular with all the fans yeeting.
-Drew and Priest promo was good too.

-I didn't care for was the Otis vs Sammy match, but that after match antics were great. Alpha Academy explodes will be fun.
-Bronson vs Tozowa wasn't great either, but I get it's not supposed to be. Something is not clicking with me with Bronson. He's just kind of there.
-I did not care for the continuing treatment of Damage CTRL as complete worthless scrubs. Which is odd because earlier in the Night IYO looked like a star, then they get beaten up in another 1 vs 3 scenario. Dakota was not even in the match with Becky. Becky is usually excellent at making people look good even in defeat, but not last night. Kota was so easy-mode, Becky didn't even rip her fishnets! . I guess Kota is supposed to just be a loser. Then when the three of them attack, Lrya is able to clean house without any trouble at all. If they are going to lose most of their matches, at least have them win the sneak attacks. Otherwise it's impossible to take them seriously.
