[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

A lot of this show sucked, but Ali and Asuka returning and a nice match/ending save it from being totally awful and frankly above average. It's nice to see a show just end with babyfaces standing tall for one time.

Last week's RAW was the highest rated RAW of the year so far! And the highest rated RAW since October 25th of 2021!

[asuka007]

A 7/10.

The opening was good. Then the next hour or so was bad.

Then it got fun again after Becky and Asuka showed up.

[Fade]

I missed like half an hour (which always helps tbh) and there were lulls about but there was A LOT I liked. Good RAW.

Ps That ending was incredible. Randy deserves that 500 %.

[GodzillaIsMyMonster]

Solid 8. Asuka adds much need star power to the womens division, and gives us a nice non-title feud. The RKO celebration was nice and Randy actually getting the win was a great moment.

Ali looked great and the crowd popped for his win, so hopefully that's a good sign. And I wonder if Ciampa is gonna join Edge? I actually like the idea of a Six Man tag with Edge/Priest/Ciamp VS AJ/Balor/Ali.

And we even got a good brawl with Liv and Rhea!

[theironyuppie]

I'd say around a 7. Bianca's superCena booking felt contrived, but it was at the same time part of a Raw where they were making a conscious attempt to send fans home happy, which the main event did an excellent job of. Plus while who knows how long it lasts, it's pretty cool that Raw has three women's feuds (Bianca vs Sonya/goons, Rhea/Liv, Becky/Asuka) all with actual storylines.

[häšhtå.gdālėÿ]

Solid show with a good ending. Don’t end too many raws wkth a big ol’ grin on my face and that ending did it. Cool stuff.

[asuka007]

I fear that they’re going “Super-Cena” too much with Bianca now. And I am so sick of heel authority figure Sonya. That being said, at least they’re TRYING to present a strong face women’s champ and new star

The Ali stuff was good. And him vs. Ciampa, as abrupt as it was, is at least intriguing.

It took ONE segment to make Becky vs. Asuka feel cool. More than Charlotte and Ronda have been able to do in 5 months.

Rhea went meta with her explanation for her heel turn, but it kind of worked actually. And THREE women’s feuds with actual story behind them, what sorcery is this?

They made Randy look AMAZING for his 20th anniversary. And this is by far the best Randy has looked in years.

[GodzillaIsMyMonster]

f*** I forgot about the Sonya/Bianca match. I actually liked the story telling in this one. So... do we get a handicap or 4 way match at Backlash? Bianca vs Sonya and her goons?

[GodzillaIsMyMonster]

Also... Randy Orton is just.... AMAZING. I never want him to turn on Riddle.

I've said it too many times to count, but Orton should never be a heel again. It's just not going to work.

[saneiac]

That was actually a pretty good show for once. 7/10

I think handicap. There isn't really the time to establish a new challenger to inevitably lose, so may as well go with Bianca predictably overcoming the odds.

[Timeless Hayterade]

7. The opening segment was great and I finally got what I wanted, a Becky Lynch appearance. Asuka returning was great, too.
I also never get tired of RKO spam.

[welshpenguin]

A 10 just for the feel good Randy moments, Ali’s return & Ezekiel being in the Main Event & being on the winning side!!

It was very feel good. Also deserves an extra half-point for KO's "OW! MY EYE!" before getting backdropped.

["Evil Brood" Jackson Vanik]

It was a weird mix of good and bad. So I'll give it a 5.

[polarbearpete]

That was fantastic top to bottom! 10/10. Probably the first 10 I’ve given out in a while.

[schizo]

10/10

Entertaining show all around.

[Duke Cameron]

Didn’t watch
