There were 52 episodes of Monday Night Raw this past year. Considering WWE's flagship show airs every Monday night on USA that should go without saying, but it's used here to set up the fact that that means there have been 52 grades handed out for each one of those episodes.
With it being the final day of 2013, why not go back and look at how each episode was graded?
Below is a complete list of each episode's air date, its grade, and the title given to that episode by yours truly. Each grade and title is clickable in case you want to go back and read full reactions for that particular show.

No big surprises here, at least not to my eyes, though results may vary among you Cagesiders. There was only one "F" grade handed out all year while two shows were given the highest mark of an "A+", the first two of their kind.
What this shows more than anything is that Raw has generally been good to great this year instead of average to bad. Here's to hoping 2014 is just as good, if not better.
