8.5/10:

Solid show. Happy for Chelsea and Sonya. That ending showed why Rhea vs. Liv should be the main feud.

[A Little Doo Doo]

That was one of the most enjoyable Raws that I've seen since I started watching again 12 years ago. Like gritizen said in the live thread, everything felt like it had a purpose.

[Schizo]

10

That was a damn fun show. Looking forward to summerslam!

["Evil Brood" Jackson Vanik]

7 - some dumb stuff but the good stuff was really good at least.

At the same time, we've already seen Rhea/Liv a fair bit, as recently as March this year. There's nothing wrong with keeping Liv in the mix, but Rhea/Raquel hasn't happened since NXT and deserves a big stage.

Raquel needs more time to get over.

[Treklubj]

10 / 10

From beginning to end, the show entertained. Cody's promo, the Viking rules match, Becky / Trish and the Tag title match were all outstanding.

I agree with those that would prefer a Rhea / Liv match at Summerslam, mainly because I don't see Ripley losing and I would rather Raquel Rodriguez get her shot when the outcome didn't seem like a foregone conclusion.

Go with the more over feud. Raquel needs to show she can get over on her own.

[firsttimelongtime]

Great show! Can’t believe how over Otis and Gable were. Wish they had won. 8/10.

[King Devitt and the Woke Mob]

Thoughts:

I don’t like “what do you guys wanna talk about” as a catchphrase.
Haha, Brock came out kicked Cody’s ass in front of his family, and then left.

I would be down for them kicking Vinci out of Imperium, and finding someone better.
Gunther is now talking, and it sounds like a shitty Vince promo.

Dom: “Atlanta’s a dump!”
Yuck, this promo battle sounds so wooden.
I’m DEFINITELY tuning into NXT tomorrow. Give Dom Dom the title.

Raquel put her title on backwards, and then ripped it off….?
YAY that Sonya finally has some gold in WWE. She’s awesome and long overdue.
Also, Liv should be getting a solo push now. She’s everything you could want in a superstar.
I'm not even a super fan of hers, she's evolved into a solid hand, and "gets" the presentation of wrestling.

“Rules of Engagement” sounds like Vince.

Finn took his shot. Good.
I was afraid they were gonna have him walk off.

Why is there a carved…boat in front…of the f***ing RING, OMG
Alpha Academy vs. CHASE U….that HAS to be a feud in the future.
That was way better than I expected it to be. AA are over, and gives the Viking Raiders some momentum.
And it makes sense they’d win “their match”.

Nikki Cross deserves better than that. C’mon.

“I’m a better Ronda Rousey than you” (oooooooooh)
Awkward segment.
Ronda’s written promo was fine, but she didn’t deliver it well. She talks too fast and slurs her words.

Another awkward segment/promo with Trish and Becky. That tattoo line was meh. Or mid as the kids say.

“Big” Bronson Reed. Okay Vince you can stop now.
Bronson Reed’s music would be a LOT better without vocals.
Now playing the role of Ricochet will be Tommaso Ciampa.


Cow”man” boots?
I say it a lot but Dom is an underrated seller.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Hearing WAY too much Vince on commentary and in promos now.
But overall fun show. Another one bolstered by a great crowd.

8/10

[DMO-]

I didn’t watch anything other than the main event so it’s unfair for me to rate however that main event was hype AF! One of the best raw main events in a long time imo.

[UN PLOMBIER NIGHTMARE #blm]

Damn looks like I better watch this one on the dvr later after nxt

[deezy]

10, Easy watch and every segment had my attention and meant something. Never thought I would be interested in anything that involves Alpha Academy but here I am, Enjoying their segments. Lol

[polarbearpete]

10! Firing on all cylinders heading into Summerslam

[Celgress]

8 out of 10, IMHO.

10, Easy watch and every segment had my attention and meant something. Never thought I would be interested in anything that involves Alpha Academy but here I am, Enjoying their segments. Lol

They are my GOATs right now

I loathe the Viking Raiders current gimmick, but they blew it out of the water with that Viking Rules match, everyone showed up to work and they delivered. Gable is such an unsung workhorse man, love to see it for him and also glad that someone realized heel "Chris Farley" Otis was a bad idea and went back to his roots, because the crowd just wants to cheer that guy.
