The End of the Vision: A Surprising Impact on Raw
The Vision has been blinded. After weeks of doubts and questions about Seth Rollins’ future after his match at Crown Jewel, Rollins managed to defeat Cody Rhodes on Saturday. However, the consequences were immediate and devastating. Bron Breakker, with an impactful speech at the end of “Raw”, sent the Vision’s trio into oblivion. This unexpected turn surprised everyone, especially since Rollins had started the show by praising Breakker, Bronson Reed, and Paul Heyman. The shocking separation of the main group headlined a show full of surprises, from Dominik Mysterio’s cunning to retain his Intercontinental title to the unstable relationship between Asuka and Kairi Sane, and Lyra Valkyria’s possible strategy to understand Bayley. Here are the key points from the latest WWE event in Perth, Australia.“Raw” Results from October 13th
- Dominik Mysterio (c) defeated Penta by a three count.
- Rhea Ripley defeated Kairi Sane by a three count.
- Bronson Reed defeated Jimmy Uso by a three count.
- Bayley and Lyra Valkyria defeated Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez by a three count.
- CM Punk defeated LA Knight and Jey Uso.
An Unexpected Separation?
Rollins kicked off the program with a prominent promotion, celebrating Breakker, Reed, and Heyman. However, he omitted Heyman’s ultimatum before Crown Jewel, in case Rollins lost against Rhodes. Rollins even seemed confident, declaring that they were on top. Now, he needs an oxygen mask, as Breakker and Reed have set their sights on him. The dissolution of the Vision came unexpectedly, especially after CM Punk won a triple threat match to become the number one contender for Rollins’ World Heavyweight Championship. Heyman, in the end, raised the arms of Reed and Breakker after attacking Rollins, leaving him seemingly alone and vulnerable. With enemies in every corner and no allies, the outlook is dangerous for Rollins and his aspirations to retain the championship. I believe the timing of this attack was unexpected. Breakker is a future world champion and Reed has achieved important victories, but this rivalry feels sudden and premature. Perhaps more intrigue was needed to be added to the Punk vs. Rollins saga? Could the ‘Brons’ cost Rollins his title and then face each other?More Key Points from “Raw”
Dominik Mysterio continues to employ cunning tactics to defend his Intercontinental Championship. Against Penta, he distracted the timekeeper to steal the hammer, then placed the title in the center of the ring. While the referee dealt with the belt, Mysterio hit Penta in the knee with the hammer and hid it in his boot, executing a 619 and a Frog Splash to retain his title. These close victories continue to captivate WWE fans, who celebrate every three-count and applaud Dom’s antics. The Kabuki Warriors appear to be on the verge of collapse, but for now, they are staying afloat. Asuka slapped and yelled at Kairi Sane before her 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 together on Ripley. Will we see these two teams (Ripley and Iyo Sky and the Kabuki Warriors) look for three more teammates and face each other at Survivor Series: WarGames on November 29? In the last 48 hours, Reed and Ripley have accumulated a 4-0 record in front of their home crowd. What parallel universe of WWE are we in?Do you remember the character Festus in the 2000s? He was kind and gentle, but as soon as the bell rang, he transformed into a monster. Bayley seems to have a similar version. Lyra Valkyria received the happy version of Bayley at the start of her match against the Judgment Day, but Valkyria needed the fierce Bayley, so she slapped her to awaken her evil side, which led to victory. As WWE commentator Michael Cole commented, “Has Lyra discovered Bayley?”
