The End of “The Vision”: Seth Rollins Betrayed on “Raw”
The world of professional wrestling was shaken by the events of “Raw”. After weeks of speculation and doubts about Seth Rollins’ future after his match at Crown Jewel, the wrestler’s fate took an unexpected turn. Bron Breakker, with a shocking declaration, marked the end of “The Vision”, leaving Rollins in a precarious position. The betrayal came as a surprise, especially since Rollins had begun “Raw” by praising Breakker, Bronson Reed, and Paul Heyman. This unexpected turn culminated a program full of surprises, from Dominik Mysterio’s tactics to retain his Intercontinental title to the tense relationship between Asuka and Kairi Sane and Lyra Valkyria’s possible strategy against Bayley.Key Results from “Raw” (October 13th)
- Dominik Mysterio (c) defeated Penta by pinfall.
- Rhea Ripley defeated Kairi Sane by pinfall.
- Bronson Reed defeated Jimmy Uso by pinfall.
- Bayley and Lyra Valkyria defeated Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez by pinfall.
- CM Punk defeated LA Knight and Jey Uso.
The Fall of “The Vision”
Rollins kicked off the show with a promo celebrating Breakker, Reed, and Heyman. However, the absence of the ultimatum that Heyman had given before Crown Jewel, in case Rollins lost to Rhodes, was notable. Rollins, instead, stated that he was on top. Now, he needs help, as Breakker and Reed have set their sights on him. The dissolution of “The Vision” came as a surprise, especially after CM Punk won a triple threat match to become the number one contender for Rollins’ World Heavyweight Championship. Heyman raised Reed and Breakker’s arms after their attack on Rollins, seemingly leaving him alone. With adversaries in every corner, the situation is dangerous for the “Visionary” and his hopes of remaining champion. The timing of this attack is questionable. Breakker is a future world champion and Reed has achieved significant victories, but this rivalry seems sudden. Perhaps an extra layer of intrigue was needed in the Punk vs. Rollins saga? Could the “Brons” cost Rollins his world title and then face each other?Other Highlights from “Raw”
Dominik Mysterio continues to use cunning tactics to retain his Intercontinental Championship. Against Penta, he distracted the timekeeper to steal the hammer, then placed his title in the center of the ring. While the referee cleared the belt, Mysterio hit Penta in the knee with the hammer and then hid it in his boot for a 619 and a frog splash, retaining his title. These “by a hair” victories continue to work on screen and amuse the WWE audience. The Kabuki Warriors seem to be on the verge of collapse. Asuka slapped Kairi Sane before her match with Rhea Ripley, which Sane lost. However, Asuka got revenge with a DDT to Ripley on the commentary table, and the scene ended with Asuka and Sane arm in arm over Ripley. Will these two teams (Ripley and Iyo Sky and The Kabuki Warriors) find three more teammates and fight at Survivor Series: WarGames on November 29th? In the last 48 hours, Reed and Ripley have had a 4-0 record in front of their fans. What alternate WWE universe are we in?Do you remember the character Festus in the 2000s? He was kind and calm, but as soon as the bell rang, he turned into a monster. It seems that Bayley has a version of that. Lyra Valkyria received the happy version of Bayley when entering her match with Judgment Day, but Valkyria needed the ruthless Bayley, so she slapped her to unlock her evil, which led to victory. As WWE commentator Michael Cole pointed out, “Has Lyra discovered Bayley?”
