The End of the Vision: What’s Next for Seth Rollins?
The vision has darkened. 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 speech at the end of “Raw”, sent The Vision trio into oblivion. This breakup was especially surprising, considering Rollins had started the show by praising Breakker, Bronson Reed, and Paul Heyman. The unexpected ending of The Vision marked an episode full of unexpected twists, from Dominik Mysterio’s schemes to retain his Intercontinental title to the tense relationship between Asuka and Kairi Sane. Below, we analyze the key points of the last day of WWE in Perth, Australia.“Raw” Results from October 13th

Is a Breakup on the Horizon?
Rollins began the show with an emotional promo celebrating Breakker, Reed, and Heyman. However, he omitted the ultimatum that Heyman had given before Crown Jewel, in case Rollins lost to Rhodes. Rollins doubled down, stating that they were on top of the world. Now, Rollins needs oxygen at the top, as Breakker and Reed have put a target on his back. The dissolution of The Vision was a big surprise, especially after CM Punk won a triple threat match against 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, apparently leaving Rollins alone and defeated. With adversaries in every corner and no allies, the panorama is dangerous for the Visionary and his aspirations to remain champion. The situation raises questions about the timing of this attack. Could Reed and Breakker cost Rollins his world title and then face each other?More Details of “Raw”
Dominik Mysterio continues to find cunning ways to retain his Intercontinental Championship. Against Penta, he distracted the timekeeper to steal the hammer, then placed his belt in the center of the ring. While the referee cleared the belt, Mysterio hit Penta in the knee with the hammer and hid it in his boot, then executed a 619 and a frog splash, retaining his title. These close victories continue to be a success among the WWE audience.The Kabuki Warriors seem on the verge of implosion, but for now, they are held together by a thread. Asuka slapped Kairi Sane before her match against 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 holding hands over Ripley. Will these two teams (Ripley and Iyo Sky and The Kabuki Warriors) find three more partners and fight at Survivor Series: WarGames on November 29th?
Do you remember the character Festus from the 2000s? He was kind and gentle, but as soon as the bell rang, he turned into a monster. It seems Bayley has a version of that. Lyra Valkyria got 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, leading to victory. As WWE commentator Michael Cole pointed out, “Has Lyra discovered Bayley?”
