The End of the Vision: Rollins Betrayed on “Raw”
Trust has vanished. After weeks of uncertainty and speculation about Seth Rollins’ future after Crown Jewel, Rollins managed to defeat Cody Rhodes. However, the consequences were immediate and devastating. Bron Breakker, with a shocking declaration at the end of “Raw”, turned his back on Rollins, marking the end of “The Vision”. This turned out to be a surprise, especially since Rollins had started the show by praising Breakker, Bronson Reed, and Paul Heyman. This unexpected break was one of the many surprising twists of the event, including Dominik Mysterio’s cunning to retain his Intercontinental title and the complicated relationship between Asuka and Kairi Sane. In addition, Lyra Valkyria seems to have discovered Bayley’s secret.“Raw” Results from October 13th

Does Vision Break So Soon?
Rollins kicked off the program with a promo celebrating Breakker, Reed, and Heyman. It turns out that Heyman had given an ultimatum before Crown Jewel, asking that Rollins lose to Rhodes. Rollins, however, downplayed this and declared his ambition. Now, he needs help, as Breakker and Reed have put a target on his back. The dissolution of “The Vision” was unexpected, especially after CM Punk’s victory over Jey Uso and LA Knight, positioning himself as the number one contender for Rollins’ World Heavyweight Championship. Heyman raised Reed and Breakker’s arms after their attack on Rollins, leaving him seemingly alone. With adversaries on all sides, the situation becomes dangerous for Rollins and his aspirations to remain champion. The timing of this attack is questionable. Breakker is a future world champion and Reed has achieved important victories. Perhaps an extra layer of intrigue was needed in the Punk vs. Rollins saga. Could the “Brons” cost Rollins his title and then face each other?Other Highlights of “Raw”
Dominik Mysterio continues to find ingenious, albeit dishonest, ways to retain his Intercontinental Championship. Against Penta, he distracted the timekeeper to steal the hammer, placed his title in the center of the ring, and while the referee removed it, he hit Penta in the knee with the hammer. Then, he put the hammer in his boot to execute the 619 and the frog splash, thus retaining his title. These “by a hair” victories continue to be entertaining for the public, who count to three with the referees and celebrate Dom’s antics.The Kabuki Warriors seem to be on the verge of implosion, but for now, they are sticking together. Asuka slapped Kairi Sane before Sane’s match with Rhea Ripley, which Sane lost. However, Asuka got revenge with a DDT on 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 partners and face each other at Survivor Series: WarGames on November 29th?
Do you remember the character Festus in the 2000s? He was kind and quiet, but as soon as the bell rang, he turned into a monster. It seems that Bayley has a similar version. 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 awaken her evil, which led to victory. As the commentator pointed out, “Has Lyra discovered Bayley?”
