I was leaning an eight but the title change elevates it to 9, show started hot and stayed there for most of it. Only real bad part was that LWO promo.

[longtimelurker29]

That ending made it an easy 10. It was a really good overall but that main event is why you watch Raw every week. You never know what’s going to happen.

7. Everything was fine to great. But not having Cena or Rock after Saturday (the main reason many people probably tuned in to begin with, knocks it down a few pegs)

[chronocross]

Solid 8/10, hot start with a great main event.

Raw is way better than Smackdown right now.

RECEIPTS/10

[Rican]

Going 9, really fun show overall. Seth/Punk was a hot start, the tag title match was awesome, Gunther/Otis was awesome, main event ruled. Enjoyed the whole show.

[KingPooper]

7 Cena turning heel recaps out of ten.

For not having their biggest story in years not continue on raw they did a good job keeping things interesting and going for the people that came in to see what the hell was going on.

Also hell yeah Otis.

[sarkerpolseng]

I liked the ending of the match, but I expected a little bit better from the Main Event. I had high expectations .

8/10

["Evil Brood" Jackson Vanik]

7 - liked the surprise ending and had some good angles but felt like a long slog in the middle.

[Uosdwis R. Dewoh]

two straight shows of top stars saying “f***” now, oddly enough.

[Hypnosis]

8/10.  The Punk/Rollins brawl was fire, and loved the shocking title change in the Rhea/Iyo main event, even if it did start off a bit sloppy.

[BigPoppaNasty]

I'd give it a 9 for having such a hot start and big finish. The middle dragged a bit, but Gunther/Otis was fun, the tag title match was good, and nothing was really bad on the show.

[UN PLOMBIER NIGHTMARE #blm]

10 for me. I love Raw lately as much as I despise Smackdown

[Schizo]

10 show

Can’t find anything I didn’t like or loved really. Banger of a show

[Mike Strike]

The number of times they reminded us of Cena's heel turn/10.

[El Hijo de Mr. Iguana]

That show f***ed.

Being able to blade and swear on-air shows you you're a top star. It's like how Cody and Rhea both bled after major beatdowns (Rock attacking Cody, Liv/Raquel attacking Rhea in the NXT parking lot) last year.

Rhea lost her title. Automatic 10 from me.

I was prepared to give to a high rating thinking IYO would lose, because it was a pretty great show regardless, but the ending left me super happy.

[schma]

Bianca being out there made me think some kind of shenanigans were going to happen, but I really didn't think Iyo was going to win the title. I figured the whole talk around Rhea never beating here was just to build her up that much more for Bianca.

Punk's opening promo reminded me of Bret Hart in the best way and was fantastic. Great start, great finish and the middle was generally good as well. First EC, now Raw. Here's hoping NXT is great. If that happens, maybe Smackdown will be serviceable?

But seriously, great episode. Wish I could have watched it live with people.
